Characterization of Heat-labile Uracil-DNA Glycosylase from Oncorhynchus mykiss and its Application for Carry-over Contamination Control in RT-qPCR
Background: Heat-labile uracil-DNA glycosylase (HL-UDG) is commonly employed to eliminate carry-over contamination in DNA amplifications. However, the prevailing HL-UDG is markedly inactivated at 50°C, rendering it unsuitable for specific one-step RT-qPCR protocols utilizing reverse transcriptase at...

Methods: The gene encoding an HL-UDG was cloned from the cold-water fish rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and expressed in Escherichia coli with high yield. The thermostability of this enzyme and other enzymatic characteristics were thoroughly examined. The novel HL-UDG was then applied for controlling carry-over contamination in one-step RT-qPCR. Results: This recombinantly expressed truncated HL-UDG of rainbow trout (OmUDG) exhibited high amino acids similarity (84.1% identity) to recombinant Atlantic cod UDG (rcUDG) and was easily denatured at 40°C. The optimal pH of OmUDG was 8.0, and the optimal concentrations of both Na+ and K+ were 10 mM. Since its inactivation temperature was lower than that of rcUDG, the OmUDG could be used to eliminate carry-over contamination in one-step RT-qPCR with moderate reverse transcription temperature. Conclusion: We successfully identified and recombinantly expressed a novel HL-UDG with an inactivation temperature of 40°C. It is suitable for eliminating carry-over contamination in one-step RT-qPCR. Article in Journal/Newspaper atlantic cod Bentham Science Publishers Protein & Peptide Letters 31 3 169 177 |
