Transcription and hybridization of 125I-cRNA from flow sorted chromosomes.

Abstract:

:Metaphase chromosomes from the Chinese hamster cell line M3-1 were separated by means of a flow sorter. Two chromosome fractions were used for this study: A, which consisted of 95% pure chromosome no. 1, and B, which was 90% pure chromosome no. 2. The DNA of 10(6) chromosomes of each type was purified, and a 125I-cRNA transcript was synthesized in a reaction containing E. coli RNA polymerase and carrier-free 125I-CTP (1.7 Ci/mumole). The cRNA product synthesized with template DNA from 10(5) sorted chromosomes contained more than 10(6) dpm. The electrophoretic mobility profiles of the cRNAs on 7.5% SDS acrylamide gels demonstrated that more than 50% of the ribo-polymers were equal to or longer than marker E. coli met-tRNAf. In hybridization reactions 21% and 17% of the transcripts from Chinese hamster whole cell and sorted chromosome DNA hybridized to Chinese hamster DNA and did not hybridize significantly over background in reactions containing calf DNA at Crt values of 1.3 and 1.9 x 10(2) mole sec/l. Labelled cRNAs transcribed from the DNA of sorted chromosomes hybridized with the DNA of each sorted chromosome fractions at a Crt of 0.6 mole sec/l. This study demonstrated that the DNA can be (1) recovered from small numbers of highly purified flow sorted chromosomes, (2) used as template by E. coli RNA polymerase and (3) used to prepare a cRNA in reactions containing polymerase and carrier-free 125I-CTP to yield a product which can be employed for hybridization analysis.
