Detection of RNA-DNA association by a proximity ligation-based method.

ABSTRACT: We describe a proximity ligation assay (PLA)-based method of assessing association of DNA and RNA in single cells during the cell cycle. Pulse-labeling of DNA with EdU and RNA with BrU and testing their close proximity by PLA demonstrates that RNA synthesis in individual cells resumes about 30-45 min after DNA replication. Consistent with this conclusion, RNA Pol II phosphorylated at Ser2 of its CTD is detected at the same time as RNA transcripts on nascent DNA. Our results also show that RNA is associated with DNA foci during all stages of mitosis.

Proximity-Based Sortase-Mediated Ligation.

Project description:Protein bioconjugation has been a crucial tool for studying biological processes and developing therapeutics. Sortase?A (SrtA), a bacterial transpeptidase, has become widely used for its ability to site-specifically label proteins with diverse functional moieties, but a significant limitation is its poor reaction kinetics. In this work, we address this by developing proximity-based sortase-mediated ligation (PBSL), which improves the ligation efficiency to over 95?% by linking the target protein to SrtA using the SpyTag-SpyCatcher peptide-protein pair. By expressing the target protein with SpyTag C-terminal to the SrtA recognition motif, it can be covalently captured by an immobilized SpyCatcher-SrtA fusion protein during purification. Following the ligation reaction, SpyTag is cleaved off, rendering PBSL traceless, and only the labeled protein is released, simplifying target protein purification and labeling to a single step.

Accurate detection of Newcastle disease virus using proximity-dependent DNA aptamer ligation assays.

Project description:Detecting viral antigens at low concentrations in field samples can be crucial for early veterinary diagnostics. Proximity ligation assays (PLAs) in both solution and solid-phase formats are widely used for high-performance protein detection in medical research. However, the affinity reagents used, which are mainly poly- and monoclonal antibodies, play an important role in the performance of PLAs. Here, we have established the first homogeneous and solid-phase proximity-dependent DNA aptamer ligation assays for rapid and accurate detection of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). NDV is detected by a pair of extended DNA aptamers that, upon binding in proximity to proteins on the envelope of the virus, are joined by enzymatic ligation to form a unique amplicon that can be sensitively detected using real-time PCR. The sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of the assays were validated using 40 farm samples. The results demonstrated that the developed homogeneous and solid-phase PLAs, which use NDV-selective DNA aptamers, are more sensitive than the sandwich enzymatic-linked aptamer assay (ELAA), and have a comparable sensitivity to real-time reverse transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) as the gold standard detection method. In addition, the solid-phase PLA was shown to have a greater dynamic range with improved lower limit of detection, upper- and lower limit of quantification, and minimal detectable dose as compared with those of ELAA and rRT-PCR. The specificity of PLA is shown to be concordant with rRT-PCR.

Nanoparticle-Based Proximity Ligation Assay for Ultrasensitive, Quantitative Detection of Protein Biomarkers.

Project description:Proximity ligation assay (PLA) achieves extremely low limits of detection but requires the synthesis of antibody-DNA conjugates recognizing multiple target epitopes with appropriate proximity. In this work, we introduce a more generally applicable method by replacing antibody-DNA conjugates with nanoparticles which create ultradetectable PCR templates by capturing biotinylated oligonucleotides and catalyzing ligation. A competitive PCR readout was used to make the assay quantitative. We have demonstrated that NP-PLA can detect and quantitate human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels as low as 2.6 fM (∼0.1 pg/mL), nearly 1000 times more sensitive than the current state of the art ELISA.

Optimized proximity ligation assay (PLA) for detection of RNA-protein complex interactions in cell lines.

Project description:Conventional proximity ligation assay (PLA) suffers from target specificity issues that curtail their accuracy on interpreting proximal interactions in cell biology. Here, we present a reliable and sensitive approach by including a fluorochrome-labeled mRNA fragment along with biotin-labeled RNA probe and a target-specific antibody, which were used to generate proximal ligation signals through linear connectors in intact cells. This protocol will be particularly useful for studying the proximal interactions between RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and their target mRNAs in cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to George et al. (2021).

A Proximity Ligation-Based Method for Quantitative Measurement of D-Loop Extension in S. cerevisiae.

Project description:Homologous recombination faithfully restores the sequence information interrupted by a DNA double-strand break by referencing an intact DNA molecule as a template for repair DNA synthesis. DNA synthesis is primed from 3'-OH end of the invading DNA strand in the displacement loop (D-loop). Here, we describe a simple and quantitative proximity ligation-based assay to study the initiation of homologous recombination-associated DNA synthesis initiated at the D-loop and final product formation. The D-loop extension assay overcomes the semiquantitative nature and some limitations of the current PCR-based technique and facilitates the study of the recombination-associated DNA synthesis.

High-throughput determination of RNA structure by proximity ligation.

Project description:We present an unbiased method to globally resolve RNA structures through pairwise contact measurements between interacting regions. RNA proximity ligation (RPL) uses proximity ligation of native RNA followed by deep sequencing to yield chimeric reads with ligation junctions in the vicinity of structurally proximate bases. We apply RPL in both baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and human cells and generate contact probability maps for ribosomal and other abundant RNAs, including yeast snoRNAs, the RNA subunit of the signal recognition particle and the yeast U2 spliceosomal RNA homolog. RPL measurements correlate with established secondary structures for these RNA molecules, including stem-loop structures and long-range pseudoknots. We anticipate that RPL will complement the current repertoire of computational and experimental approaches in enabling the high-throughput determination of secondary and tertiary RNA structures.

Proximity Ligation-Based Fluorogenic Imaging Agents for Neuraminidases.

Project description:Reagents to visualize and localize neuraminidase activity would be valuable probes to study the role of neuraminidases in normal cellular processes as well as during viral infections or cancer development. Herein, a new class of neuraminidase-imaging probes that function as proximity ligation reagents by releasing a highly reactive fluorophore that tags nearby cellular material is described. It is further demonstrated that it is possible to create an influenza virus-specific reagent, which can specifically detect influenza virus infections in mammalian cells. These reagents have potential use as specific histological probes independent of viral antigenicity and, therefore, offer some advantages over commonly used anti-neuraminidase antibodies.

Improving precision of proximity ligation assay by amplified single molecule detection.

Project description:Proximity ligation assay (PLA) has been proven to be a robust protein detection method. The technique is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity, but the assay precision is probably limited by the PCR readout. To investigate this potential limitation and to improve precision, we developed a digital proximity ligation assay for protein measurement in fluids based on amplified single molecule detection. The assay showed significant improvements in precision, and thereby also detection sensitivity, over the conventional real-time PCR readout.
