Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of gene probe detection, and particularly to modified polynucleotides which are useful in the detection of target genes.
- Nucleic acid hybridization tests for the detection of specific DNA and RNA sequences are now common in research and are becoming common in diagnostic applications. These hybridization tests typically involve the use of a labeled nucleic acid probe in such assay formats as dot blots, Southern blots, Northern blots, in situ hybridization, plaque hybridization and colony hybridization.
- a variety of labels have been used in these assays including, for example, radiolabels, chemiluminescent compounds, enzymes and fluorescent compounds.
- the attachment of labels to a nucleic acid probe can be accomplished by either direct or indirect methods.
- Direct labeling is the result of attaching a label to a nucleic acid probe via a covalent linkage, typically prior to formation of a duplex.
- the label can be incorporated noncovalently into a duplex via intercalation.
- a hapten is attached to the nucleic acid probe, and later detected using a labeled specific binding protein.
- biotin-streptavidin system described in Langer, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:6633-6637 (1981), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- a biotin moiety is attached to a nucleic acid probe and detection is carried out using a labeled avidin or labeled streptavidin.
- Another indirect method involves the use of the hapten digoxigenin (see, Kessler, et al, Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 371:917-965 (1990)).
- This system uses the digoxigenin and antibody fragments derived from sheep polyclonal antibodies against digoxigenin. This method is also characterized by subpicogram sensitivity, and circumvents the problem of extraneous background signal by using the cardenolide digoxigenin which occurs only in Digitalis plants. Nevertheless, digoxigenin is an expensive reagent.
- nucleic acid hybrids which have broad applicability, do not suffer from extraneous background signals and which provide modified duplexes which can be rapidly purified by affinity methods.
- the present invention provides such methods, as well as the monomers and modified nucleic acids which are employed therein.
- the present invention provides modified polynucleosides and polynucleotides which are useful in hybridization assays for the detection of target genes.
- the modified polynucleotides contain at least one boronic acid moiety which is attached to a nucleotide base in a position which does not interfere with the hydrogen bonding capabilities of that base during duplex formation.

- adenine, guanine, thymine or cytosine in which X is a linking group of from 7 to 30 carbon atoms, a portion of which is an aromatic ring; Y is a boron-containing moiety, prefereably a boronic acid or boronic ester moiety; and p is an integer of from 1 to 3.
- X is a linking group of from 7 to 30 carbon atoms, a portion of which is an aromatic ring

- the present invention provides modified nucleic acid monomers which are useful for the preparation of modified polynucleotides. These polynucleotides find application in nucleic acid detection methods described more fully below.
- the modified nucleic acid monomers will contain a boric or boronic acid moiety attached to the heterocyclic portion of the nucleic acid. The attachment is made via a linking group which is typically from 7 to 30 carbon atoms in length, contains an aromatic ring and is optionally interrupted by one or more amide, ester, disulfide, urea, carbamate, hydrazone, ether, thioether, amine or imine groups.
- aromatic ring is meant to include both carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic rings such as, for example, a phenyl, naphthyl, thienyl, furanyl or pyrazolyl ring.
- the linking group will also be of sufficient length that the boronic acid group can form a complex with a boronic acid complexing agent when the modified nucleic acid is incorporated into an polynucleotide.
- polynucleotide refers to a single or double-stranded polymer of deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide bases read from the 5' to the 3' end. It includes both self-replicating plasmids, infectious polymers of DNA or RNA and non-functional DNA or RNA.
- Modified polynucleotides are also provided in which the polynucleotide is constructed from naturally-occurring monomeric nucleic acids and one or more modified nucleic acid monomers of the present invention.
- the modified polynucleotides of the present invention will typically be from 10 to 1000 bases in length and contain from 1 to about 30 modified monomers. The number of modified monomers should not be so great as to interfere with the intended purpose of the polynucleotide.
- boronic acid and boronate ester moieties form complexes with certain polar molecules and have been exploited in a number of chromatographic methods.
- a boronic acid group is immobilized on a solid support and used to selectively retain those polar molecules having the required functionality which includes 1 ,2-diols, 1,3- diols, 1,2-hydroxy acids, 1 ,3-hydroxyacids, 1 ,2- and 1,3-hydroxylamines, and 1,2- and 1 ,3- diketones.
- Each of these functional groups are known to form complexes with, for example, phenylboronic acid.
- these functional groups are present in a number of biological molecules including carbohydrates, catecholamines, prostaglandins, ribonucleosides and steroids.
- boronic acid chromatographic media for the isolation and separation of biological molecules has been reviewed. See, Singhal, et al, Adv. Chromatog. 31:293- 335 (1992); Mazzeo, et al, BioChromatog. 4:124-130 (1989); and Bergold, et al, in SOLID PHASE BIOCHEMISTRY, Scouten, ed. , John Wiley & Sons, New York, pp. 149-187 (1983).
- Boric or boronic acids are Lewis acids and ionize by hydration in which the trigonal acid is converted to a tetrahedral boronate anion.
- the boron adopts a tetrahedral configuration in which the average bonds lengths to the boron atom are about 10% longer.
- complexes are formed in a pH dependent manner in many instances. See, Lorand, et al, J. Org. Chem. 24:769 (1959), Sienkiewicz, et al. , J. Inorg. Nuc Chem. , 42: 1559-1571 (1980) and Tanner, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 89:6954 (1967). This property provides additional advantages for the use of boronic acids in the monomers, polynucleotides and methods described below.
- the present invention provides modified nucleic acids having the formula:
- R ⁇ R 2 and R 3 are each independently hydrogen, hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, monophosphate ester, diphosphate ester, or triphosphate ester.
- R 1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl
- R 2 is hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, or monophosphate ester
- R 3 is hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, monophosphate ester, diphosphate ester, or triphosphate ester.
- Nu represents a radical which is:
- the letter X represents a linking group of from 7 to 30 carbon atoms, at least a portion of which is an aromatic ring.
- the linking group is optionally interrupted by one or more amide, ester, disulfide, urea, carbamate, hydrazone, ether, thioether, amine or imine groups.
- the letter Y represents a boron-containing moiety which is typically a boronic acid, a borinic acid, or a boronic acid ester.
- R and R' are alkyl groups of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms which, in some embodiments, can be linked together to form a cyclic ester.
- the letter p represents an integer of from 1 to 3.
- linking groups used in this aspect of the invention will typically comprise of from 7 to 30 carbon atoms.
- the linking group is an alkylene chain which is interrupted by one or more amide, ether, thioether, dissulfide, ester, thioester, urea and amine linkages and terminates in an aromatic ring.
- n and m independently represent integers of from 1 to 6.
- X is more simply that X does not interfere with duplex formation when the monomers are incorporated into polynucleotides and that X provide sufficient clearance for the boronic acid or ester moiety (Y) to engage in binding of complexing agents without affecting duplex stability for polynucleotides containing the above monomers.
- -X- and -(Y) p are taken together and comprise a radical which is
- X 1 is a linking group fragment having from 3 to 23 carbon atoms.
- the monomers in this aspect of the present invention can be prepared by a number of methods.
- modified pyrimidine bases e.g. modified uridines and cytidines
- a synthetic scheme is preferred which begins with the preparation of 5-aminoallyl-dUTP (see, Langer, et al, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 78:6633-6637 (1981), incorporated herein by reference). Briefly, deoxyuridine 5 '-triphosphate is first chloromercurated at the 5-position using mercuric chloride, then treated with allylamine in the presence of potassium tetrachloropalladate to effect a carbon-carbon bond formation and provide 5-aminoallyl-dUTP.
- the modified nucleic acids can be prepared beginning with 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine monophosphate (prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of non-glycosylated phage T 4 DNA as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,241 ,060, incorporated herein by reference) , 5-(4-aminobuty laminomethy l)-2 ' -deoxyuridinemonophosphate (see U . S . Patent No. 5,241,060), 5 -formyl-2' -deoxyuridine (see, Mertes, et al, J. Heterocyclic Chem.
- 3-aminophenylboronic acid is treated with methyl succinyl chloride to provide the amide 2a.
- Subsequent saponification of the ester and coupling of the activating group N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) provides the activated ester 2b.
- Treatment of 2b with 6-aminohexanoic acid provides 2c which can be coupled with 5- aminoallyl-dUTP to provide the monomer depicted in Figure 1 (abbreviated as PBA-XX-dUTP).
- modified nucleic acids can be prepared using synthetic methods described in Hashimoto, et al, J. Org. Chem. 58:4194-4195 (1993) and Hashimoto, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 115:7128-7134 (1993), incorporated herein by reference. Briefly, modified uridine and cytidine analogs are synthesized beginning with the corresponding 5- iodo-2' -deoxyuridine and 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine. Reaction of the iodo-nucleosides with an appropriately protected amino alkyne in the presence of a palladium catalyst provides the desired carbon framework for further elaboration.
- Hydrogenation of the newly introduced alkyne can be accomplished over a palladium on carbon catalyst to provide analogs having a protected amine which is linked to the nucleotide via a saturated carbon tether.
- the alkyne may kept as part of the linking group or may be reduced to an alkene using controlled hydrogenation over palladium on carbon catalysts. The remaining steps for elongation of the linking group and attachment of a boronic acid moiety will follow those steps described above.
- Preparation of modified purine nucleotides and deazapurine nucleotides can also be carried out as described above for pyrimidine nucleosides. Mercuration of the C8 position of the purine ring and the C7 position of a deazapurine has been described. See, Dale, et al, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 70:2238 (1973) and Dale, et al, Biochemistry 14:2447 (1975), the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Following mercuration of the nucleosides, allyl amine can be coupled to the heterocyclic ring using the procedures outlined above. Further synthesis to provide the monomers of the present invention are then be carried out, also as described above.
- the present invention provides modified polynucleotides having the formula:
- z represents an integer of from 1 to 1000 and each R 11 is — H or — OH.
- the symbols R 12 and R 13 each independently represent a hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, monophosphate ester, diphosphate ester, or triphosphate ester.
- the symbols P 1 and P 2 are each independently — P(O)(OH)— , — P(O)(NH 2 )— , — P(S)(OH)— ,
- each Nu 11 , Nu 12 and Nu 13 is independently adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine or a modified nucleic acid base having the formula:
- the nucleic acid derivatives above are modified to have a boron-containing moiety which is attached to the heterocyclic ring portion by means of a linking group X.
- the linking group comprises of from 7 to 30 carbon atoms, a portion of which is present as an aromatic ring.
- Preferred groups for X are those which have been described above for the monomers of the present invention.
- the boron-containing moiety, Y is a boronic acid substituent such as — B(OH) 2 , — B(OH)(OR) and — B(OR)(OR') in which R and R' are alkyl groups of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms which, in some embodiments, can be linked together to form a cyclic ester.
- alkyl refers to a saturated hydrocarbon radical which may be straight-chain or branched-chain (for example, ethyl, isopropyl, t-amyl, or 2-methylpentyl).
- Preferred groups for Y are also those which have been described above for the monomers.
- the modified polynucleosides and polynucleotides of the present invention are constructed such that at least one and no more than thirty of Nu", Nu 12 and Nu 13 are other than adenine, guanine, thymine or cytosine.
- modified nucleic acid monomers in an polynucleotide will depend in part on the particular application (e.g., the sensitivity of the complexing agent which is ultimately attached to the boronic acid moiety in various assays). Additionally, the modified monomers should not be so numerous as to interfere with the intended purpose of the modified polynucleotide (e.g., binding or duplex formation with a target gene or target polynucleotide). Thus, for example, an polymer of 20 to 30 monomers will typically contain from one to five modified monomers, while an polymer of 1000 monomers can contain up to about 30 modified monomers.
- the boron-containing polynucleotides used in the present invention may be synthesized in solid phase or in solution, using the above boron-containing monomers and other nucleoside bases.
- the boron-containing polynucleotides are prepared using enzyme-based methodology such as PCR, random prime labeling, tailing or nick translation.
- polynucleotide synthesis can be carried out using commercially available monomers such as, for example, N6-(6-aminohexyl)-dATP.
- one or more boronic acid-containing moieties can be attached to the pendent amino group using methods described above and in the examples which follow.
- the timing of delivery and concentration of monomeric nucleotides utilized in a coupling cycle will not differ from the protocols typical for commercial phosphoramidites used in commercial DNA synthesizers. In these cases, one may merely add the solution containing the monomers to a receptacle on a port provided for an extra phosphoramidite on a commercial synthesizer (e.g., model 380B, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, U.S.A.). However, where the coupling efficiency of a particular monomer is substantially lower than the other phosphoramidites, it may be necessary to alter the timing of delivery or the concentration of the reagent in order to optimize the synthesis.
- a commercial synthesizer e.g., model 380B, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, U.S.A.
- DMT dimethoxytrityl
- coupling efficiency may be determined by measuring the DMT cation concentration during the acidic removal of the DMT group. DMT cation concentration is usually determined by spectrophotometrically monitoring the acid wash. The acid/DMT solution is a bright orange color.
- coupling efficiency may be estimated by comparing the ratio of truncated to full length polynucleotides utilizing, for example, capillary electrophoresis or HPLC.
- Solid phase polynucleotide synthesis may be performed using a number of solid supports.
- a suitable support is one which provides a functional group for the attachment of a protected monomer which will become the 3 ' terminal base in the synthesized polynucleotide.
- the support must be inert to the reagents utilized in the particular synthesis chemistry.
- Suitable supports are well known to those of skill in the art.
- Solid support materials include, but are not limited to polyacryloylmorpholide, silica, controlled pore glass (CPG), polystyrene, polystyrene/latex, and carboxyl-functionalized teflon.
- Preferred supports are amino-functionalized controlled pore glass and carboxylfunctionalized teflon.
- Solid phase polynucleotide synthesis requires, as a starting point, a fully protected monomer (e.g., a protected nucleoside) coupled to the solid support. This coupling is typically through the 3 '-hydroxyl. Typically, a linker group is covalently bound to the 3'- hydroxyl on one end and covalently bound to the solid support on the other end.
- the first synthesis cycle then couples a nucleotide monomer, via its 3 '-phosphate, to the 5 '-hydroxyl of the bound nucleoside through a condensation reaction that forms a 3 '-5' phosphodiester linkage. Subsequent synthesis cycles add nucleotide monomers to the 5 '-hydroxyl of the last bound nucleotide.
- nucleoside monomers to a solid support are known to those of skill in the art, although monomers covalently linked through a succinate or hemisuccinate to controlled pore glass are generally preferred.
- monomers covalently linked through a succinate or hemisuccinate to controlled pore glass are generally preferred.
- Conventional protected nucleosides coupled through a hemisuccinate to controlled pore glass are commercially available from a number of sources (e.g. , Glen Research, Sterling, Vermont, U.S.A.; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, U.S.A.
- the polynucleotide is deprotected and cleaved from the solid support prior to use. Cleavage and deprotection may occur simultaneously or sequentially in any order. The two procedures may be interspersed so that some protecting groups are removed from the polynucleotide before it is cleaved off the solid support and other groups are deprotected from the cleaved polynucleotide in solution. The sequence of events depends on the particular blocking groups present, the particular linkage to a solid support, and the preferences of the individuals performing the synthesis.
- the protecting groups may be washed away from the polynucleotide which remains bound on the solid support. Conversely, where deprotection follows cleavage, the removed protecting groups will remain in solution with the polynucleotide. Often the polynucleotide will require isolation from these protecting groups prior to use.
- the protecting group on the 5 '-hydroxyl is removed at the last stage of synthesis.
- the polynucleotide is then cleaved off the solid support, and the remaining deprotection occurs in solution.
- Removal of the 5 '-hydroxyl protecting group typically requires treatment with the same reagent utilized throughout the synthesis to remove the terminal 5 '-hydroxyl protecting groups prior to coupling the next nucleotide monomer.
- deprotection can be accomplished by treatment with acetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid.
- the polynucleotide is a ribonucleotide and the 2 '-hydroxyl group is blocked with a tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) moiety
- TDMMS tert-butyldimethylsilyl
- the latter group may be removed using tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran at the end of synthesis.
- Phenoxyacetyl protecting groups can be removed with anhydrous ammonia in alcohol (under these conditions the TBDMS groups are stable and the polynucleotide is not cleaved).
- the benzoyl protecting group of cytidine is also removed with anhydrous ammonia in alcohol.
- Cleaved and fully deprotected polynucleotides may be used directly (after lyophilization or evaporation to remove the deprotection reagent) or they may be purified prior to use. Purification of synthetic polynucleotides is generally desired to isolate the full length polynucleotide from the protecting groups that were removed in the deprotection step and, more importantly, from the truncated polynucleotides that were formed when polynucleotides that failed to couple with the next nucleotide monomer were capped during synthesis.
- Polynucleotide purification techniques are well known to those of skill in the art. Methods include, but are not limited to, thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica plates, gel electrophoresis, size fractionation (e.g. , using a Sephadex column), reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and anion exchange chromatography (e.g. , using the mono-Q column, Pharmacia- LKB, Piscataway, New Jersey, U.S.A.).
- TLC thin layer chromatography
- HPLC reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography
- anion exchange chromatography e.g. , using the mono-Q column, Pharmacia- LKB, Piscataway, New Jersey, U.S.A.
- modified polynucleotides containing a modified monomer described above can also be achieved by enzyme-based methods as detailed in the examples set forth below.
- Pyrimidine, purine and deazapurine nucleoside triphosphates containing a boronic acid moiety linked to the heterocyclic ring can be used as substrates for a wide variety of purified nucleic acid polymerases of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic origin. These include Taq DNA polymerase, DNA polymerase I of E. coli, bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase, DNA polymerases alpha and beta from murine (A-9) and human (HeLa) cells, and the DNA polymerase of Herpes simplex virus.
- Nick-translation, random prime labeling, and terminal transferase tailing are also useful methods for the incorporation of a modified nucleic acid monomer into an polynucleotide.
- Nick-translation can be carried out as described in Rigby, et al, J. Mol Biol. 113:237-251 (1977), incorporated herein by reference.
- Random prime labeling can be conducted utilizing a modification of the method of Feinberg, et al, Anal. Biochem. 132:6-13 (1988) in which a modified monomer is used in place of dTTP. Incorporation can be verified by capture of the probe (or modified polynucleotide) on DHBHA-Sepharose.
- Tailing, or terminal transfer can be carried out using the method of Abhay, et al, Anal. Biochem. 169:376-382 (1988) in which a modified (boronic acid-containing) monomer is diluted into dTTP. As above, incorporation of the modified monomer can be verified by capture of the probe on DHBHA-Sepharose.
- FIG. 4 illustrates one applications for the use of the modified polynucleotides in a DNA probe detection system.
- a modified polynucleotide is prepared using random-primed DNA labeling and PBA-XX-dUTP as the boron-containing monomer.
- PBA-XX-dUTP PBA-XX-dUTP
- any of the monomers described above could also be used, as well as alternative methods of polymer formation (e.g. , nick translation, solid phase synthesis, and terminal transferase).
- a blot hybridization can be carried out in which the labeled probe is applied to filter-bound DNA ( Figure 4b), under conditions in which hybridization takes place between the probe and a target polynucleotide.
- the presence of a target polynucleotide can then be determined using, for example, enzyme-linked detection.

- One of skill in the art will understand that the number of modified nucleic acid monomers in a polynucleotide will depend in part on the particular application (e.g., the sensitivity of the complexing agent which is ultimately attached to the boronic acid moiety in various assays).
- modified monomers should not be so numerous as to interfere with the duplex formation which takes place between the modified polynucleotide and the target polynucleotide (e.g., a target gene or target oligonucleotide).
- target polynucleotide e.g., a target gene or target oligonucleotide
- an oligomer of 20 to 30 monomers will typically contain from one to five modified monomers, while a polymer of 1000 monomers can contain up to about 30 modified monomers.
- the sequence of the modified polynucleotide is one which is essentially complementary to the target polynucleotide.
- the term “complementary or substantially complementary” refers to the hybridization or base pairing between nucleotides or nucleic acids, such as, for instance, between the two strands of a double stranded DNA molecule or between an polynucleotide primer and a primer binding site on a single stranded nucleic acid to be sequenced or amplified.
- Complementary nucleotides are, generally, A and T (or A and U), or C and G.
- Two single stranded RNA or DNA molecules are said to be substantially complementary when the nucleotides of one strand, optimally aligned and compared and with appropriate nucleotide insertions or deletions, pair with at least about 80% of the nucleotides of the other strand, usually at least about 90% to 95%, and more preferably from about 98 to 100%.
- substantial complementarity exists when an RNA or DNA strand will hybridize under selective hybridization conditions to its complement.
- selective hybridization will occur when there is at least about 65 % complementarity over a stretch of at least 14 to 25 nucleotides, preferably at least about 75%, more preferably at least about 90% complementarity.
