- the only 96-well plate miniprep technology is available from Promega Corporation. D. Romanin et al . , Use of a 96 Well Format for Wizard Miniprep DNA Isolations, 49 Promega Notes 28-32 (1994) .
- the Promega method is based on the binding of DNA to a silica resin, which involves the transfer of cell lysates to a set of mini-columns, addition of a DNA binding resin to the lysates, washing the samples in a manifold, and elution of the plasmid DNA from the columns into a 96-well plate.
- the presently claimed method is not only based on a different DNA isolation mechanism, but also involves different DNA isolation procedures. Unlike Promega' s method, the present method does not require dedicated equipment or accessories, and all the steps are performed in the 96-well plates, from cell culture through isolating the plasmid DNA.
- Example 1 An illustrative composition according to the present invention for use in isolating plasmid DNA from a bacterial culture was prepared by dissolving MgCl 2 and PEG8000 in deionized water to concentrations of 3 M MgCl 2 and 10% (w/v) PEG 8000.
- Example 2 In this example, a procedure for using the composition according to Example 1 for isolating plasmid DNA is described:
- Example 3 In this procedure, a mid-sized preparation, i.e. "midiprep,” procedure using the composition according to Example 1 is described:
- Example 7 Add 2 ml of the solution of Example 1, mix by vortexing, and incubate the tube and its contents at 37°C for 5 minutes . 8. Centrifuge at 12,000 x g lor 10 minutes to pellet the plasmid DNA, and decant and discard the supernate .
- Example 4 In this example, a large-scale miniprep procedure using 96-well microtiter plates is described:
- a clone of pUT626 is prepared using this procedure.
- the recoveries of plasmid DNA among the samples is relatively consistent, and no inter-well contamination is observed.
- a clone of plasmid pHHC (2768 bp) is isolated according to the procedures of Example 2 and sequenced by the dideoxy method, F. Sanger et al . , DNA Sequencing with Chain-terminating Inhibitors, 74 Proc . Na ' 1 Acad. Sci. USA 5463 (1977) , hereby incorporated by reference, using 35 S- ⁇ -dATP and "SEQUENASE" version 2.
- a DNA isolation solution has been developed that has been successfully used for the rapid isolation of plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures .
- the composition comprises an effective amount of an enzyme for digesting cellular RNA, an effective amount of a stabilizer for protecting plasmid DNA from nuclease digestion, and an effective amount of a precipitating agent for precipitating plasmid DNA, as described above.
- a method of using the solution is simple, fast, convenient, and cost effective. More than 95% of the plasmid DNA can be recovered from a cell lysate by this method.
- the DNA obtained by this method is free of RNA contamination and is suitable for various manipulations in molecular cloning and DNA sequencing.
- the method has been adapted to a 96-well microtiter plate format for high throughput minipreps, which is very useful for screening large numbers of clones .
- the present method contains at least two distinct improvements over conventional methods that also involve the use of PEG for plasmid purification.
- a bivalent cation chelating agent such as EDTA
- plasmid DNA can be protected from degradation by cellular DNases during the 37°C incubation with RNase without first performing ethanol precipitation and the hazardous and tedious phenol-chloroform extraction.
- EDTA and RNase in the PEG solution, three objectives are obtained simultaneously: (1) protecting the plasmid DNA, (2) digesting the RNA, and (3) precipitating the plasmid DNA. In conventional PEG methods, these objectives are realized in three or more separate steps .
- the present method is simpler, faster, and can be adapted to large-scale miniprep procedures using a 96-well microtiter plate, as described below.
- the plasmid isolation solution is composed of non- toxic components and is stable at 4°C for at least 6 months.
- Other reagents required are TE buffer (10 mM Tris and 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0), 1% SDS in 0.2 N NaOH, 3 M Na acetate (pH 5.0), and 70% ethanol.
- 96-well (2 ml/well) microtiter plates e.g. Beckman #140504
- aluminum lids e.g. Beckman #538619
- Example 6 an illustrative composition according to the present invention is prepared by making a solution comprising 20 ⁇ g/ml of RNase A, 20 mM EDTA, and 20% PEG8000 in deionized water.
- Example 7 An illustrative embodiment of the present method of isolating plasmid DNA comprises the steps of (a) preparing an alkaline lysate of bacterial cells, (b) mixing equal volumes of lysate and the composition prepared according to Example 6, (c) incubating the mixture at 37°C for a few minutes, and (d) then centrifuging incubated mixture to pellet the plasmid DNA. Preferably, the plasmid pellet is then washed to remove residual contaminants. The washed plasmid DNA is then dried and suspended in an appropriate buffer or water.
- Example 8 In this example, a miniprep procedure using the composition according to Example 6 is described:
- Plasmid DNA was also prepared by direct ethanol precipitation from half of the same cell lysate.
- the purity of the plasmid DNA prepared according to the present invention was checked by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the yield (98.6%) was determined as the percent of plasmid DNA obtained by direct ethanol precipitation (FIG. 1) .
- Example 9 In this example, a midiprep procedure using the composition of according to Example 6 is described:
- plasmid pBKBHIOS (11857) was prepared from 50 ml of an overnight culture of bacterial strain STBL2. The plasmid was digested with 32 restriction enzymes at their respective optimal temperatures for 1 hour. The digested DNAs were then fractionated by electrophoresis on 0.6% agarose gel (FIG. 2) . The results show that the plasmid DNA purified with the solution of Example 6 was completely digested by the enzymes tested, and there was no RNA interfering with the detection of the plasmid bands.
- Example 10 In this example, a large-scale miniprep procedure using 96-well microtiter plates and the composition according to Example 6 is described: 1. Aliquot 1 ml of antibiotic-containing LB medium, J. Miller, Experiments in Molecular Genetics, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1972) , hereby incorporated by reference, into each of the 96 well using a repeat pipetter. 2. Inoculate one colony of bacteria into a well, cover the plate with an aluminum lid, and puncture holes on the lid with a needle to allow ventilation of the wells during incubation.
- a clone of plasmid pUT626 (3185 bp) was prepared using the large-scale procedure. As shown in FIG. 3, the recoveries of the plasmid among the samples were relatively consistent, and no inter-well contamination occurred during the procedure, since the wells that were not inoculated with bacteria produced no plasmid DNA.
- Example 11 A clone of plasmid pHHC (2768 bp) was isolated according the procedure of Example 8 and sequenced by the dideoxy method, F. Sanger et al . , DNA Sequencing with Chain-terminating Inhibitors, 74 Proc . Nat ' 1 Acad. Sci. USA 5463 (1977), hereby incorporated by reference, using 35S- -dATP and "SEQUENASE version 2.” The plasmid purified by this method was shown to be suitable for sequencing applications.
- the solution and the plasmid isolation procedures described herein have many advantages over other conventional and commercially available methods .
- the present method is simple.
- one volume of solution is added to a bacterial cell lysate and, after a short incubation (2-5 minutes) , the plasmid DNA is obtained by centrifugation.
- the procedure is also fast. Plasmid minipreps can be completed in 20-30 minutes. With the large-scale 96- well miniprep procedure, 96 minipreps can be obtained in about 90 minutes. Also, the procedure is safe.
- the solution contains no toxic components, and no steps in the procedure require toxic organic solvents. Further, the procedure is convenient.
- the SDS-NaOH lysis procedure is already routine in many laboratories .
- the procedure is economical .
- the reagent costs for the solution is estimated to be about 5 cents per miniprep. Only two microfuge tubes and a few pipette tips are required for each standard miniprep.
- the solution is easy to prepare and is a single solution product. It accompanies no other specialized reagents and accessories.
- the plasmid DNA obtained is clean and in good yield. There is no detectable RNA contamination, and the OD 260/280 ratio is about 1.8. More than 95% of the plasmid DNA in the cell lysate can be recovered.
