  • Title: Nucleotide clusters in deoxyribonucleic acids. XIII. Sequence analysis of the longer unique pyrimidine oligonucleotides of bacteriophage S13 DNA by a method using unlabeled atarting oligonucleotides.

    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1976 Jul 02; 435(3):269-81. PubMed ID: 779845.
    Abstract:
    A method has been designed for sequence analysis of unlabeled oligodeoxynucleotides of chain length up to 20 nucleotides with no restriction on base composition. The unlabeled oligonucleotide preparation, is partially degraded with spleen exonuclease to give a series of products each differing in size by one nucleotide. The oligonucleotides in the digest are 5'-32 P terminally labeled with [psi-32] P ATP and T4 polynucleotide kinase, the excess ATP removed by chromatography on Sephadex G-25 then the oligonucleotides fractionated according to change length on DEAE-Sephadex. Each isostich fraction is analyzed for base composition and the nucleotide at the 5' terminus determined by its 32P label, resulting in direct read off of the sequence up to the penultimate 3'- terminal nucleotide. The 3'-terminal dinucleotide is analyzed by DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the Sephadex G-25 dinucleotide fraction. The method has been demonstrated by sequence analysis of the unique longer pyrimidine oligonucleotides C5T6, C2T8, C6T4 and C6T3 from S13 DNA. The sequences have extensive internal sequence homology.
