Abstract
The solid-phase DNA probe method is a well-established technique for tRNA purification. We have applied this method for purification and analysis of other non-coding RNAs. Three columns for purification of tRNAPhe, transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) and 16S rRNA from Thermus thermophilus were connected in tandem and purifications were performed. From each column, tRNA(Phe), tmRNA and 16S rRNA could be purified in a single step. This is the first report of purification of native tmRNA from T. thermophilus and the purification demonstrates that the solid-phase DNA probe method is applicable to non-coding RNA, which is present in lower amounts than tRNA. Furthermore, if a long non-coding RNA is cleaved site-specifically and the fragment can be purified by the solid-phase DNA probe method, modified nucleosides in the long non-coding RNA can be analysed. Therefore, we designed a deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) to perform site-specific cleavage of 16S rRNA, examined optimum conditions and purified the resulting RNA fragment. Sequencing of complimentary DNA and mass spectrometric analysis revealed that the purified RNA corresponded to the targeted fragment of 16S rRNA. Thus, the combination of DNAzyme cleavage and purification using solid-phase DNA probe methodology can be a useful technique for analysis of modified nucleosides in long non-coding RNAs.Funding Information
