ODNs (Table 1) containing normal DNA bases and N1-methyladenine (m1A) and/or 2-aminopurine (2aPu) and FRET labels were synthesized on an ASM-700 Synthesizer (BIOSSET Ltd., Novosibirsk, Russia) using phosphoramidites purchased from Glen Research (Sterling, VA, USA) and were purified by anion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. Concentrations of the ODNs were determined by measuring absorbance at 260 nm (A260). The purity, homogeneity, and integrity of each ODN were assessed by 20% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by Stains-All dye staining (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). When needed, the modified DNA strands were 32P-labelled using [γ-32P]ATP and bacteriophage T4 polynucleotide kinase (SibEnzyme, Novosibirsk, Russia) and were purified by 20% denaturing PAGE.
Double-stranded substrate duplexes were prepared by annealing the modified strands (15m1A, 15m1A_2aPu, or 15m1A_FRET) and complementary strands (15T or 15TT in the case of a 2aPu-containing substrate) in a 1:1 molar ratio in a buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 50 mM KCl, and 10 mM MgCl2. Single-stranded substrates have the ‘ss’ prefix, and double-stranded substrates the ‘ds’ prefix.

Purification and Characterization of ssDNA

All ssDNA strands were synthesized from commercially available phosphoramidites (Glen Research, Sterling, VA) and prepared by the DNA/peptide core facility at the University of Utah. The DNA purification process was achieved by HPLC using an anion-exchange column running a linear gradient of B from 1% to 100% over 30 min (A = 10% CH3CN/90% ddH2O, B = 20 mM NaPi, 1 M NaCl, pH 7, in 10% CH3CN/90% ddH2O, flow rate = 3 mL/min) while monitoring the DNA strand elution by the UV absorbance at 260 nm. The purification salts were removed by dialysis against ddH2O for 36 h at 4 °C. The dialyzed samples were dried by lyophilization and then resuspended in ddH2O. The concentrations of the DNA solutions were obtained by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm and using the primary sequence to estimate the extinction coefficient.

MALDI-TOF MS measurements were performed by a Bruker MicrOTOFQ II instrument using a 3-hydroxypicolinic acid/diammonium hydrogen citrate matrix. The gel imaging and quantification were performed by a FLA-5100 (Fujifilm Co.).

Oligonucleotides containing 5fC, 5mC, 5hmC or 5caC were synthesized using the ABI Expedite 8909 Nucleic Acid Synthesizer. The modified nucleotides were site-specifically incorporated at desired positions (Supplementary Table 1) with commercially available phosphoramidites (Glen Research). Subsequent deprotection and purification were carried out with Glen-Pak Cartridges (Glen Research) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Purified oligonucleotides were characterized by MALDI-TOF (< 40-mer). Regular oligonucleotides (and PCR primers) were purchased from Sangon Biotech.
Long duplex DNAs (Supplementary Table 1 and 2) were prepared through ligation of short duplexes (20–40 bp) with sticky overhangs21 (link). In brief, the ligation-site oligonucleotides were phosphorylated with T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB) and then annealed with the corresponding complementary strands. Annealed duplexes with sticky overhangs were mixed and ligated with T7 DNA ligase (NEB) at 16 °C for 4 h, followed by purification with native PAGE (10%).
“10% 5fC” dsDNA and “5xC mix” dsDNA used in the qPCR assay were prepared through PCR amplification as previously described18 (link). All modified dCTPs were purchased from Trilink.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
