DMLR: A toolkit for investigation of deoxyribozyme-mediated ligation based on real time PCR.

Abstract:

:Deoxyribozymes or DNAzyme are identified as catalytic DNA sequences which catalyze different chemical reactions. Ligating deoxyribozymes catalyze the formation of branched and linear products. Due to the lack of efficient read-out systems, there is no report on in vivo application of ligating deoxyribozymes. To expand the biological application of branched-RNA forming deoxyribozymes, we performed our study in order to suggest a practical toolkit for measurement of in vivo real-time activity of ligating deoxyribozymes. Further in vitro studies were designed to analyze the effects of the location of branch site on reverse transcriptase (RT) interference. With this toolkit even the activity of RT was measured precisely. Our results indicate that the activity of RT enzyme significantly affected by a 17 nt branched adaptor synthesized by 10DM24 ligating deoxyribozyme. The RT stalls at or near the RNA branch point during both initiation and elongation phases. The DNA synthesis is decreased 4.3 and 2.7 fold during initiation and elongation phases respectively. In conclusion, we introduce a general and practical toolkit called "DMLR" which is based on Real-time PCR method. The use of DMLR precisely determines RT behavior when encountered with any backbone modification with the ability of stopping the enzyme activity.
