Comparative sequence analysis of IS50/Tn5 transposase.

ABSTRACT: Comparative sequence analysis of IS50 transposase-related protein sequences in conjunction with known structural, biochemical, and genetic data was used to determine domains and residues that play key roles in IS50 transposase function. BLAST and ClustalW analyses have been used to find and analyze six complete protein sequences that are related to the IS50 transposase. The protein sequence identity of these six homologs ranged from 25 to 55% in comparison to the IS50 transposase. Homologous motifs were found associated with each of the three catalytic residues. Residues that play roles in transposase-DNA binding, protein autoregulation, and DNA hairpin formation were also found to be conserved in addition to other residues of unknown function. On the other hand, some homologous sequences did not appear to be competent to encode the inhibitor regulatory protein. The results were also used to compare the IS50 transposase with the more distantly related transposase encoded by IS10.

Biochemical analysis of nucleosome targeting by Tn5 transposase.

Project description:Tn5 transposase is a bacterial enzyme that integrates a DNA fragment into genomic DNA, and is used as a tool for detecting nucleosome-free regions of genomic DNA in eukaryotes. However, in chromatin, the DNA targeting by Tn5 transposase has remained unclear. In the present study, we reconstituted well-positioned 601 dinucleosomes, in which two nucleosomes are connected with a linker DNA, and studied the DNA integration sites in the dinucleosomes by Tn5 transposase in vitro. We found that Tn5 transposase preferentially targets near the entry-exit DNA regions within the nucleosome. Tn5 transposase minimally cleaved the dinucleosome without a linker DNA, indicating that the linker DNA between two nucleosomes is important for the Tn5 transposase activity. In the presence of a 30 base-pair linker DNA, Tn5 transposase targets the middle of the linker DNA, in addition to the entry-exit sites of the nucleosome. Intriguingly, this Tn5-targeting characteristic is conserved in a dinucleosome substrate with a different DNA sequence from the 601 sequence. Therefore, the Tn5-targeting preference in the nucleosomal templates reported here provides important information for the interpretation of Tn5 transposase-based genomics methods, such as ATAC-seq.

Tn5 Transposase Applied in Genomics Research.

Project description:The development of high-throughput sequencing (next-generation sequencing technology (NGS)) and the continuous increase in experimental throughput require the upstream sample processing steps of NGS to be as simple as possible to improve the efficiency of the entire NGS process. The transposition system has fast "cut and paste" and "copy and paste" functions, and has been innovatively applied to the NGS field. For example, the Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-Seq) uses high-throughput sequencing to detect chromatin regions accessible by Tn5 transposase. Linear Amplification via Transposon Insertion (LIANTI) uses Tn5 transposase for linear amplification, haploid typing, and structural variation detection. Not only is it efficient and simple, it effectively shortens the time for NGS sample library construction, realizes large-scale and rapid sequencing, improves sequencing resolution, and can be flexibly modified for more technological innovation.

Tn5 transposase and tagmentation procedures for massively scaled sequencing projects.

Project description:Massively parallel DNA sequencing of thousands of samples in a single machine-run is now possible, but the preparation of the individual sequencing libraries is expensive and time-consuming. Tagmentation-based library construction, using the Tn5 transposase, is efficient for generating sequencing libraries but currently relies on undisclosed reagents, which severely limits development of novel applications and the execution of large-scale projects. Here, we present simple and robust procedures for Tn5 transposase production and optimized reaction conditions for tagmentation-based sequencing library construction. We further show how molecular crowding agents both modulate library lengths and enable efficient tagmentation from subpicogram amounts of cDNA. The comparison of single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries generated using produced and commercial Tn5 demonstrated equal performances in terms of gene detection and library characteristics. Finally, because naked Tn5 can be annealed to any oligonucleotide of choice, for example, molecular barcodes in single-cell assays or methylated oligonucleotides for bisulfite sequencing, custom Tn5 production and tagmentation enable innovation in sequencing-based applications.

Biochemical analysis of chromatin targeting by Tn5 transposase

Project description:Tn5 transposase is used as a tool for detecting nucleosome-free regions of genomic DNA in eukaryotes, but its DNA target site in chromatin has not been understood. In the present study, the well-positioned dinucleosomes were reconstituted, and the Tn5 transposase target sites were mapped in the dinucleosomes in vitro. We found that Tn5 transposase preferentially targets near the entry-exit DNA region within the nucleosome, if the linker DNA exists between two nucleosomes. This specific DNA targeting by Tn5 did not depend on the linker DNA length and DNA sequence. Tn5 transposase becomes to target the middle of the linker DNA, in addition to the entry-exit site of the nucleosome, if the linker DNA length extends to 30 base pairs. These in vitro data provide direct evidence for the Tn5 target sites in the nucleosome, resulting important information for interpretation of the Tn5-transposase-based genomics methods, which have been interpreted as linker or nucleosome-free DNA regions in genomes.

Site-directed mutagenesis studies of tn5 transposase residues involved in synaptic complex formation.

Project description:Transposition (the movement of discrete segments of DNA, resulting in rearrangement of genomic DNA) initiates when transposase forms a dimeric DNA-protein synaptic complex with transposon DNA end sequences. The synaptic complex is a prerequisite for catalytic reactions that occur during the transposition process. The transposase-DNA interactions involved in the synaptic complex have been of great interest. Here we undertook a study to verify the protein-DNA interactions that lead to synapsis in the Tn5 system. Specifically, we studied (i) Arg342, Glu344, and Asn348 and (ii) Ser438, Lys439, and Ser445, which, based on the previously published cocrystal structure of Tn5 transposase bound to a precleaved transposon end sequence, make cis and trans contacts with transposon end sequence DNA, respectively. By using genetic and biochemical assays, we showed that in all cases except one, each of these residues plays an important role in synaptic complex formation, as predicted by the cocrystal structure.

OpenTn5: Open-Source Resource for Robust and Scalable Tn5 Transposase Purification and Characterization.

Project description:Tagmentation combines DNA fragmentation and sequencing adapter addition by leveraging the transposition activity of the bacterial cut-and-paste Tn5 transposase, to enable efficient sequencing library preparation. Here we present an open-source protocol for the generation of multi-purpose hyperactive Tn5 transposase, including its benchmarking in CUT&Tag, bulk and single-cell ATAC-seq. The OpenTn5 protocol yields multi-milligram quantities of pG-Tn5E54K, L372P protein per liter of E. coli culture, sufficient for thousands of tagmentation reactions and the enzyme retains activity in storage for more than a year.

Tn5 transposase-mediated library preparation of single-cell cDNAs for RNA-seq

Project description:Deep sequencing of single cell-derived genomic DNA and/or cDNAs brings novel insights into oncogenesis and embryogenesis. However, traditional library preparation for RNA-Seq requires multiple steps, including shearing the target DNA/RNA and following sequential enzymatic reactions, which result in consequent sample loss and stochastic variation at each step. Such variation may significantly affect the output from sequencing. We have found that a new technique of library preparation using hyperactive Tn5 transposase for the next-generation sequencer of Illumina's platform provided high-quality libraries from 100ng of short-length (average 700~800 bp) single-cell level cDNA. This new method reduced the number of steps in the protocol, which resulted in improved reproducibility and reduced variation among the specimens. Two methods of library preparation (sonication, tagmentation with hyperactive Tn5 transposase) were compared in the case of RNA-Seq for single-cell level cDNA. Technical triplicates were used.
