Synthesis of DNA fragments in yeast by one-step assembly of overlapping oligonucleotides.

ABSTRACT: Here it is demonstrated that the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can take up and assemble at least 38 overlapping single-stranded oligonucleotides and a linear double-stranded vector in one transformation event. These oligonucleotides can overlap by as few as 20 bp, and can be as long as 200 nucleotides in length. This straightforward scheme for assembling chemically-synthesized oligonucleotides could be a useful tool for building synthetic DNA molecules.

Method of preparing an equimolar DNA mixture for one-step DNA assembly of over 50 fragments.

Project description:In the era of synthetic biology, techniques for rapidly constructing a designer long DNA from short DNA fragments are desired. To realize this, we attempted to establish a method for one-step DNA assembly of unprecedentedly large numbers of fragments. The basic technology is the Ordered Gene Assembly in Bacillus subtilis (OGAB) method, which uses the plasmid transformation system of B. subtilis. Since this method doesn't require circular ligation products but needs tandem repeat ligation products, the degree of deviation in the molar concentration of the material DNAs is the only determinant that affects the efficiency of DNA assembly. The strict standardization of the size of plasmids that clone the DNA block and the measurement of the block in the state of intact plasmid improve the reliability of this step, with the coefficient of variation of the molar concentrations becoming 7%. By coupling this method with the OGAB method, one-step assembly of more than 50 DNA fragments becomes feasible.

One step assembly of multiple DNA fragments with a designed order and orientation in Bacillus subtilis plasmid.

Project description:A universal method to reconstitute sets of genes was developed. Owing to the intrinsic nature of the plasmid establishment mechanism in Bacillus subtilis, the assembly of five antibiotic resistance genes with a defined order and orientation was achieved. These five fragments and the plasmid have three-base protruding sequences at both ends. The protruding sequences are designed so that each fragment is ligated once in a row according to the pairing. Ligation by T4 DNA ligase in the presence of 150 mM NaCl and 10% polyethylene glycol at 37 degrees C yielded high molecular tandem repeat linear form DNA. This multimeric form of DNA was preferentially used for plasmid establishment in B.subtilis. The method, referred to as Ordered Gene Assembly in B.subtilis (OGAB), allows for the design of multiple fragments with very high efficiency and great fidelity.

Convergent and general one-step DNA-catalyzed synthesis of multiply branched DNA.

Project description:We report a deoxyribozyme (DNA enzyme) that catalyzes the convergent and general synthesis of branched DNA. The 15HA9 deoxyribozyme mediates nucleophilic attack of the 2'-hydroxyl group of a ribonucleotide embedded within one DNA substrate into a 5'-adenylate of the second DNA substrate. This approach can be used to synthesize multiply branched DNA with a wide range of DNA sequences.

One-step interfacial synthesis and assembly of ultrathin luminescent AuNPs/silica membranes.

Project description:A facile one-step strategy is explored to achieve uniform luminescent Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a two-dimensional ultrathin silica matrix based on simultaneous reaction and assembly at the liquid-liquid interface. The as-prepared AuNPs/silica nanocomposites can be further employed to fabricate micrometer-thick films with bifunctional luminescent and superhydrophobic properties. Such a versatile concept is ideal for the development of multifunctional devices.

Experimental analysis of gene assembly with TopDown one-step real-time gene synthesis.

Project description:Herein we present a simple, cost-effective TopDown (TD) gene synthesis method that eliminates the interference between the polymerase chain reactions (PCR) assembly and amplification in one-step gene synthesis. The method involves two key steps: (i) design of outer primers and assembly oligonucleotide set with a melting temperature difference of >10 degrees C and (ii) utilization of annealing temperatures to selectively control the efficiencies of oligonucleotide assembly and full-length template amplification. In addition, we have combined the proposed method with real-time PCR to analyze the step-wise efficiency and the kinetics of the gene synthesis process. Gel electrophoresis results are compared with real-time fluorescence signals to investigate the effects of oligonucleotide concentration, outer primer concentration, stringency of annealing temperature, and number of PCR cycles. Analysis of the experimental results has led to insights into the gene synthesis process. We further discuss the conditions for preventing the formation of spurious DNA products. The TD real-time gene synthesis method provides a simple and efficient method for assembling fairly long DNA sequence, and aids in optimizing gene synthesis conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first report that utilizes real-time PCR for gene synthesis.

Self-assembly directed one-step synthesis of [4]radialene on Cu(100) surfaces.

Project description:The synthetic challenges of radialenes have precluded their practical applications. Here, we report a one-step synthetic protocol of [4]radialene on a copper surface. High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy measurements reveal that such catalytic reaction proceeds readily with high selectivity at the temperature below 120 K. First-principles calculations show that the reaction pathway is characterized by firstly the cooperative inter-molecular hydrogen tautomerization and then the C-C bond formation. The feasibility of such cyclotetramerization reaction can be interpreted by the surface effect of Cu(100), which firstly plays an important role in directing the molecular assembly and then serves as an active catalyst in the hydrogen tautomerization and C-C coupling processes. This work presents not only a novel strategy to the scant number of synthetic methods to produce [4]radialenes via a novel [1 + 1 + 1 + 1] reaction pathway, but also a successful example of C-C bond coupling reactions guided by the surface-induced C-H/π assembly.

A one-step construction of adenovirus (OSCA) system using the Gibson DNA Assembly technology.

Project description:Adenovirus (Ad) is a non-enveloped linear double-stranded DNA virus with >50 serotypes in humans. Ad vectors have been used as gene delivery vehicles to express transgenes, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for gene silencing, or CRISPR/Cas and designer nucleases for genome editing. Although several methods are used to generate Ad vectors, the Ad-making process remains technically challenging and time consuming. Moreover, the Ad-making techniques have not been improved for the past two decades. Gibson DNA Assembly (GDA) technology allows one-step isothermal DNA assembly of multiple overlapping fragments. Here, we developed a one-step construction of Ad (OSCA) system using GDA technology. Specifically, we first engineered several adenoviral recipient vectors that contain the ccdB suicide gene flanked with two 20-bp unique sequences, which serve as universal sites for GDA reactions in the Ad genome ΔE1 region. In two proof-of-principle experiments, we demonstrated that the GDA reactions were highly efficient and that the resulting Ad plasmids could be effectively packaged into Ads. Ad-mediated expression of mouse BMP9 in mesenchymal stem cells was shown to effectively induce osteogenic differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the OSCA system drastically streamlines the Ad-making process and should facilitate Ad-based applications in basic, translational, and clinical research.

Directional cloning of DNA fragments using deoxyinosine-containing oligonucleotides and endonuclease V.

Project description:BackgroundDNA fragments carrying internal recognition sites for the restriction endonucleases intended for cloning into a target plasmid pose a challenge for conventional cloning.ResultsA method for directional insertion of DNA fragments into plasmid vectors has been developed. The target sequence is amplified from a template DNA sample by PCR using two oligonucleotides each containing a single deoxyinosine base at the third position from the 5' end. Treatment of such PCR products with endonuclease V generates 3' protruding ends suitable for ligation with vector fragments created by conventional restriction endonuclease reactions.ConclusionsThe developed approach generates terminal cohesive ends without the use of Type II restriction endonucleases, and is thus independent from the DNA sequence. Due to PCR amplification, minimal amounts of template DNA are required. Using the robust Taq enzyme or a proofreading Pfu DNA polymerase mutant, the method is applicable to a broad range of insert sequences. Appropriate primer design enables direct incorporation of terminal DNA sequence modifications such as tag addition, insertions, deletions and mutations into the cloning strategy. Further, the restriction sites of the target plasmid can be either retained or removed.

Multiplex pairwise assembly of array-derived DNA oligonucleotides.

Project description:While the cost of DNA sequencing has dropped by five orders of magnitude in the past decade, DNA synthesis remains expensive for many applications. Although DNA microarrays have decreased the cost of oligonucleotide synthesis, the use of array-synthesized oligos in practice is limited by short synthesis lengths, high synthesis error rates, low yield and the challenges of assembling long constructs from complex pools. Toward addressing these issues, we developed a protocol for multiplex pairwise assembly of oligos from array-synthesized oligonucleotide pools. To evaluate the method, we attempted to assemble up to 2271 targets ranging in length from 192-252 bases using pairs of array-synthesized oligos. Within sets of complexity ranging from 131-250 targets, we observed error-free assemblies for 90.5% of all targets. When all 2271 targets were assembled in one reaction, we observed error-free constructs for 70.6%. While the assembly method intrinsically increased accuracy to a small degree, we further increased accuracy by using a high throughput 'Dial-Out PCR' protocol, which combines Illumina sequencing with an in-house set of unique PCR tags to selectively amplify perfect assemblies from complex synthetic pools. This approach has broad applicability to DNA assembly and high-throughput functional screens.

OVERFRAG: An overlapping DNA fragments generator for molecular cloning and synthetic biology.

Project description:DNA synthesis and homologous recombination can be used to simplify molecular cloning and to make synthetic biology easily accessible (M.J. Czar et al., 2009). However, the design of overlapping DNA fragments to construct large molecules is time-consuming and requires verification of several parameters to ensure that fragment synthesis is attainable, given the restrictions found in chemical synthesis of DNA. OVERFRAG is a web-based tool that generates overlapping DNA fragments to assemble either in yeast cells by Gap Repair (H. Ma et al., 1987) or in vitro by (D.G. Gibson et al., 2009) and In-Fusion (B. Zhu et al., 2007) methods. The fragments generated are suitable for chemical synthesis and molecular assembly. Some possible uses include cDNA cloning, design of chimeric antibodies and synthetic biology applications. Web tool is freely available at http://www.each.usp.br/digiampietri/overfrag.
