Popis: | Fluorescence energy transfer (ET) primers and terminators are the reagents of choice for multiplex DNA sequencing and analysis. We present here the design, synthesis and evaluation of a four-color set of ET cassettes, fluorescent labeling reagents that can be quantitatively coupled to a thiol-activated target through a disulfide exchange reaction. The ET cassette consists of a sugar-phosphate spacer with a FAM donor at the 3′-end, an acceptor linked to a modified T-base at the 5′-end of the spacer and a mixed disulfide for coupling to a thiol at the 5′-end. The acceptor dye emission intensities of ET labeled primers produced in this manner are comparable to commercial ET primers. The utility of our ET cassette-labeled primers is demonstrated by performing four-color capillary electrophoresis sequencing with the M13(-21)forward primer and by generating and analyzing a set of single-nucleotide-polymorphism-specific PCR amplicons. |
