RESUMO
A novel series of charge-modified, dye-labeled 2′,3′-dideoxynucleoside-triphosphate terminators were synthesized and evaluated as reagents for DNA sequencing. These terminators possess an advantage over existing reagents in that no purification is required to remove unreacted nucleotide or associated breakdown products prior to electrophoretic separation of the sequencing fragments. This obviates the need for a time consuming post-reaction work up, allowing direct loading of DNA sequencing reaction mixtures onto a slab gel. Thermo Sequenase™ II DNA polymerase poorly incorporates the charge-modified terminators compared with regular dye-labeled terminators. However, extending the linker arm between dye and nucleotide and using a mutant form of a related DNA polymerase can in part mitigate the decrease in substrate efficiency. We also present evidence that these charge-modified terminators can relieve gel compression artefacts when used with dGTP in sequencing reactions.
