Isolation of a cDNA clone of the 14-kDa subunit of the signal recognition particle by cross-hybridization of differently primed polymerase chain reactions.

ABSTRACT: Using an enhancement of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, we have isolated a complementary DNA encoding SRP14 (14-kDa subunit), one of six proteins contained in the signal recognition particle (SRP). Several pools of degenerate oligonucleotides encoding different peptide sequences of SRP14 were used to generate amplified DNA by the PCR. A cross-hybridization procedure was developed to identify the authentic SRP14 cDNA clone among the amplified DNA products obtained by PCR. The basis of this approach is the assumption that a partial cDNA of SRP14 should be the only DNA product common to two amplification reactions primed with different degenerate oligonucleotide mixtures. The partial canine cDNA of SRP14 identified by this procedure served as a probe to isolate a complete cDNA clone of SRP14 from a mouse embryonic cDNA library in lambda phage gt10.

Project description:BACKGROUND: With the completion of the human genome sequence the functional analysis and characterization of the encoded proteins has become the next urging challenge in the post-genome era. The lack of comprehensive ORFeome resources has thus far hampered systematic applications by protein gain-of-function analysis. Gene and ORF coverage with full-length ORF clones thus needs to be extended. In combination with a unique and versatile cloning system, these will provide the tools for genome-wide systematic functional analyses, to achieve a deeper insight into complex biological processes. RESULTS: Here we describe the generation of a full-ORF clone resource of human genes applying the Gateway cloning technology (Invitrogen). A pipeline for efficient cloning and sequencing was developed and a sample tracking database was implemented to streamline the clone production process targeting more than 2,200 different ORFs. In addition, a robust cloning strategy was established, permitting the simultaneous generation of two clone variants that contain a particular ORF with as well as without a stop codon by the implementation of only one additional working step into the cloning procedure. Up to 92 % of the targeted ORFs were successfully amplified by PCR and more than 93 % of the amplicons successfully cloned. CONCLUSION: The German cDNA Consortium ORFeome resource currently consists of more than 3,800 sequence-verified entry clones representing ORFs, cloned with and without stop codon, for about 1,700 different gene loci. 177 splice variants were cloned representing 121 of these genes. The entry clones have been used to generate over 5,000 different expression constructs, providing the basis for functional profiling applications. As a member of the recently formed international ORFeome collaboration we substantially contribute to generating and providing a whole genome human ORFeome collection in a unique cloning system that is made freely available in the community.
