5-RACE经验
5 Race(2007-11-18 21:37:08)转载▼分类:核酸技术如果您顺的话,一个礼拜足矣!同意,5'-RACE确实比较难,但也有顺利的时候,我上周做5'-RACE也一次就成功了,我觉得关键还是RNA 的质量,如果RNA模板质量不好,后面做得再认真也是白费!当时要克隆基因的5'GC含量达到了80%,一般的反转录酶和PCR都拿不到,后来加了海藻糖60度反转录一个小时后,用TaKaRa的GC-Buffer和LA-Taq才扩出来,当时就为了这个5端,很是费了力气。
如果RCR产物不是很特异或没有目的条带的话,建议用nest PCR。
在做5‘时,对RNA要求比较高,最好用新鲜的组织提,随即做逆转录,扩增。
做RACE PCR条带单一的不多,尽可能的回收与目的片段大小相近的条带。
克隆的时候,一般kit上建议挑8-10个克隆,多一个,多一份希望,因为RACE,尤其是5’太难了,我作了约6个月。
偶没有买试剂盒,自己合成了3条引物,买了反转录酶。
然后一次就出来了。
RACE的盒子最常用的是CLONTECH和INVITROGEN的,这个方法我也试过很多次了,方法很简单,但是作出来效果非常的不理想。
PCR出来的东西都是杂七杂八的东西,更多的时候是弥散的条带。
SmartRace 既然称之为Smart,因为它的引物能特异的识别5'端帽子位点,因此排除了所有非完全的逆转录。
再加上使用基因特异性引物,使其做出来的可能性更大。
这个方法省钱,但是我不是很看好,祝好运。
另,建议你不要用oligodT进行逆转录,在基因mRNA300bp处设计一条或几条基因特异性逆转录引物更好。
希望你能有好结果。
我刚做过5’、3‘ RACE,我个人的经验如下:1、首先,提的RNA必须完整,最好跑个RNA电泳来验证一下;2、设计引物时要注意:Tm最好大于70度,两引物间要有100-200bp的重叠区;3、用巢氏PCR相对容易出结果;4、如果出现多个条带,要分别验证;5、PCR过程中,我一般分两次,第一次用touchdowm PCR,后产物稀释50倍,作二次,72度尽量长一点,我们一般用2-3min;6、结果分析,最好是重叠区吻合,否则,应重新做。

IntroductionThe SMARTer RACE 5’/3’ Kit provides a method for performing both 5’- and 3’-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The SMARTer RACE 5’/3’ Kit includes our SMARTer II A Oligonucleotide and SMARTScribe™Reverse Transcriptase, which provides better sensitivity, less background and higher specificity than previouskits. This powerful system allows you to amplify the complete 5’ sequence of your target transcript from as little as 10 ng of total RNA. The cornerstone of SMARTer RACE cDNA synthesis is SMART™ technology, which eliminates the need for problematic adaptor ligation and lets you use first-strand cDNA directly in RACE PCR, a benefit that makes RACE far less complex and much faster (Chenchik et al., 1998). Additionally, the SMARTer RACE Kit exploits Clontech’s technology for suppression PCR & step-out PCR to increase the sensitivity andreduce the background of the RACE reactions. You can use either poly A+ or total RNA as starting material for constructing full-length cDNAs, even of very rare transcripts.The SMARTer RACE 5’/3’ Kit is an improved version of our original SMARTer RACE cDNA Amplification Kit, designed to accommodate larger RNA input volumes and perform more efficiently on challenging targets(e.g., those that are long, GC-rich, etc.). RACE PCR products are amplified with our highly robust SeqAmp™DNA Polymerase, and cloned into the linearized pRACE vector with In-Fusion® HD Cloning. The In-Fusion HD Cloning Kit, NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-Up Kit, and Stellar™ Competent Cel ls are included for yourconvenience in cloning RACE products.SMART technology provides a mechanism for generating full-length cDNAs in reverse transcription reactions (Zhu et al., 2001). This is made possible by the joint action of the SMARTer II A Oligonucleotide andSMARTScribe Reverse Transcriptase. When the SMARTScribe RT reaches the 5’ end of the RNA, its terminal transferase activity adds a few additional nucleotides to the 3’ end of the first-strand cDNA (Figure 1).Figure 1. Mechanism of SMARTer cDNA synthesis.First-strand cDNA synthesis is primed using a modified oligo (dT) primer. After SMARTScribe Reverse Transcriptase (RT) reaches the end of the mRNA template, it adds several nontemplated residues. The SMARTer IIA Oligonucleotide anneals to the tail of the cDNA and serves as an extended template for SMARTScribe RT.The SMARTer II A Oligonucleotide contains a terminal stretch of modified bases that anneal to the extended cDNA tail, allowing the oligo to serve as a template for the RT. SMARTScribe RT switches templates from the mRNA molecule to the SMARTer oligo, generating a complete cDNA copy of the original RNA with the additional SMARTer sequence at the end. Since the template switching activity of the RT occurs only when the enzyme reaches the end of the RNA template, the SMARTer sequence is typically only incorporated into full-length, first-strand cDNAs. This process guarantees that the use of high quality RNA will result in the formation of a set of cDNAs that have a maximum amount of 5’ sequence (Table I).Table 1.

Incorporation of universal primer binding sites in a single-step during first-strand cDNA synthesis eliminates the need for tedious second-strand synthesis and adaptor ligation. This simple and highly efficient SMARTer cDNA synthesis method ensures higher specificity in amplifying your target cDNA. Suppression PCR & step-out PCR techniques are used in combination with SMARTer technology to decrease background amplification in RACE PCR.Requirements for SMARTer RACE cDNA AmplificationThe only requirement for SMARTer RACE cDNA amplification is that you know at least 23–28 nucleotides (nt) of sequence information in order to design gene-specific primers (GSPs) for the 5’- and 3’-RACE reactions. (Additional sequence information will facilitate analysis of your RACE products.) This limited requirement makes SMARTer RACE ideal for characterizing genes identified through diverse methods, including cDNA subtraction, differential display, RNA fingerprinting, ESTs, library screening, and more.Uses of SMARTer RACE cDNA AmplificationSMARTer RACE cDNA amplification is a flexible tool—many researchers use this kit in place of conventional kits to amplify just the 5’ or 3’ end of a particular cDNA. Others perform both 5’- and 3’-RACE, and many then go on to clone full-length cDNAs using one of the two methods described in the latter part of this protocol. In many cases, researchers obtain full-length cDNAs without ever constructing or screening a cDNA library.Figure 2. Overview of the SMARTer RACE procedure.Detailed flow charts of the SMARTer RACE mechanisms can be found in Appendices B & C. Alternatively, you can obtain the sequences of the extreme ends of the transcript by sequencing the 5’ end of the 5’ product and the 3’ end of the 3’ product. Using this information, you can design 5’ and 3’ gene-specific primers to use in LD PCR with the 5’-RACE-Ready cDNA as template to generate the full-length cDNA.Note that with the cloned RACE fragments you can use a restriction site in an overlapping region to construct a full-length cDNA by subcloning, or design new GSPs to generate PCR products compatible with In-Fusion cloning.II.

Additional Materials RequiredIf your RNA template is from a non-eukaryotic organism and lacks a polyadenylated tail, you can add one prior to first-strand 3’-cDNA synthesis using the following enzyme:∙Poly(A) Polymerase (Takara Bio Cat. No. 2180A)The following materials are required for In-Fusion cloning and transformation, but not supplied: ∙Ampicillin (100 mg/ml stock) or other antibiotic required for plating the In-Fusion reaction∙LB (Luria-Bertani) medium (pH 7.0)∙LB/antibiotic plates∙SOC mediumThe following material is required for the NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-Up Kit, but not supplied: ∙96–100% ethanolIV. Primer DesignA. Primer SequenceGene-Specific Primers (GSPs) should:∙be 23–28 nt to ensure specific annealing∙be 50–70% GC∙have a T m≥65°C; best results are obtained if T m >70°C, which enables the use of touchdown PCR.(T m should be calculated based upon the 3’ (gene-specific) end of the primer, NOT the entire primer.) ∙not be complementary to the 3’-end of the Universal Primer MixLong primer = 5’–TAATACGACTCACTATAGGGCAAGCAGTGGTATCAACGCAGAGT–3'Short primer = 5’–CTAATACGACTCACTATAGGGC–3’∙be specific to your gene of interest∙both have 15 bp overlaps with the vector at their 5’ end s (i.e., add the sequenceGATTACGCCAAGCTT to the 5’ end s of both GSPs’ sequences; see details below) The relationship of the primers used in the SMARTer RACE reactions to the template and resultingRACE products are shown in detail in Figure 3.For the complete SMARTer RACE protocol, you will need at least two GSPs: an antisense primer for the5’-RACE PCR and a sense primer for the 3’-RACE PCR. If you are performi ng only 5’- or 3’-RACE,you will only need one GSP. In our experience, longer GSPs with annealing temperatures above 70°Cgive more robust amplification in RACE, particularly from difficult samples; however, there is generallyno advantage to using primers with gene-specific sequence longer than 30 nt.Successful In-Fusion cloning requires a 15 bp overlap with the linearized vector. Given this, you will needto add the sequence GATTACGCCAAGCTT to the 5’-end of your 5’ and 3’ GSPs to facilitate In-Fusioncloning of your RACE PCR products. This specific sequence is in addition to the 22 nt gene-specificsequence described above. The provided linearized pRACE vector already contains this overlap with theUniversal Primer A Mix included for PCR, and adding this sequence to the 5’-end of your GSPs willcomplete the necessary overlap for the cloning reaction. Please note that the In-Fusion User Manualcontains only general primer recommendations that should not be used for this particular protocol.Figure 3. The relationship of gene-specific primers to the cDNA template.This diagram shows a generalized first-strandcDNA template. This RNA/DNA hybrid does not precisely represent either the 5’- or 3’-RACE-Ready cDNAs. For a detailedlook at those structures, see Appendices B & C. Note that the gene-specific primers designed here contain tails with In-Fusionhomology, and also produce overlapping RACE products. This overlap permits the use of the primers together in a control PCRreaction. Additionally, if a suitable restriction site is located within this region, it will be possible to construct the full-lengthcDNA by subcloning.B. Additional Considerations for DesignThe primers shown in Figure 3 will create overlapping 5’- and 3’-RACE products. If a suitable restriction site is located in the region of overlap, the fragments can subsequently be joined by restriction digestion and ligation to create the full-length cDNA. If no suitable restriction sites are available, you canalternately design new GSPs suitable for multi-fragment In-Fusion cloning. By designing primers thatgive a 100–200-bp overlap in the RACE products, you will also be able to use the primers together as an internal positive control for the PCR reactions. However, it is not absolutely necessary to use primers that give overlapping fragments. In the case of large and/or rare cDNAs, it may be better to use primers that are closer to the ends of the cDNA and therefore do not create overlapping fragments. The primersthemselves can overlap (i.e., be complementary).C. Location of Primer Sequences within GenesWe have had good success using the SMARTer RACE Kit to amplify 5’ and 3’ cDNA fragments thatextend up to 6.5 kb from the GSP binding sites. Nevertheless, for optimum results, we recommendchoosing your primers so that the 5’- and 3’-RACE products will range from 1–3 kb in length. If you are working with an annotated genome, we suggest using NCBI’s Primer-BLAST to aid in your design for each transcript.D. Nested PrimersWe recommend that you do not use nested PCR in your initial experiments. The UPM Primer and a GSP will usually generate a good RACE product with a low level of nonspecific background. However, nested PCR may be necessary in some cases where the level of background or nonspecific amplification in the 5’- or 3’-RACE reaction is too high with a single GSP. In nested PCR, a primary amplification isperformed with the outer primers and, if a smear is produced, an aliquot of the primary PCR product is re-amplified using the inner primers. The SMARTer RACE protocols include optional steps indicatingwhere nested primers can be used. The Universal Primer Short (provided with the kit) can be used forbo th 5’- and 3’-RACE with nested primers.Nested gene specific primers (NGSP) should be designed according to the same guidelines discussedabove. If possible, nested primers should not overlap with the outer gene-specific primers; if they mustoverlap due to limited sequence information, the 3’ end of the inner primer should have as much unique sequence as possible. Additionally, your nested primers should also contain the 15 bp overlap required for In-Fusion cloning.V. Generating RACE-Ready cDNAPLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PROTOCOL BEFORE STARTINGA. General Considerations∙We recommend using the Tricine-EDTA Buffer provided in the kit to resuspend and dilute your cDNA samples throughout the protocols in this user manual, because Tricine buffers maintain theirpH at high temperature better than Tris-based buffers. Tris-based buffers can lead to low pHconditions that degrade DNA.∙Resuspend pellets and mix reactions by gently pipetting the solution up and down or by flicking the bottom of the tube. Always spin tubes briefly prior to opening to collect the contents at the bottom ofthe tubes.∙Perform all reactions on ice unless otherwise indicated.∙Add enzymes to reaction mixtures last.∙Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is a carcinogen. Use appropriate precautions when handling and disposing of this reagent. For more information, see Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual by Sambrook &Russell (2001).B. Preparation and Handling of Total and Poly A+ RNA1. General PrecautionsThe integrity and purity of your total or poly A+ RNA starting material is an important element inhigh-quality cDNA synthesis. The following precautions will help you avoid contamination anddegradation of your RNA:∙Have a separate bench and/or pipette set dedicated to RNA work, free of RNasecontamination.∙Wear gloves throughout to protect your RNA samples from nucleases.∙Use freshly deionized (e.g., MilliQ-grade) H2O directly, without treatment with DEPC(diethyl pyrocarbonate). Takara Bio also offers RNase-Free Water (Cat. No. 9012).∙Use only single-use plastic pipettes and pipette tips. Filter tips are recommended.2. RNA IsolationClontech® offers several kits for isolating total or poly A+ RNA from a variety of sources:Purified Product Starting Material Product Cat. #Total RNA Plant or fungal samples NucleoSpin RNA Plant 740949.50mRNA Total RNA derived fromcultured cells or animal tissuesMagnosphere UltraPuremRNA Purification Kit9186Many procedures are available for the isolation of poly A+ RNA (Farrell, 1993; Sambrook et al., 2001).3. RNA PurityThe purity of RNA is the key factor for successful cDNA synthesis and SMARTer RACE. Thepresence of residual organics, metal ions, salt or nucleases in your RNA sample can have a largeimpact on downstream enzymatic applications by inhibiting enzymatic activity or degrading theRNA. We strongly recommend checking the stability of your RNA to ensure that it is free ofcontaminants. Impurities such as salt or organic contaminants can be removed by repeatedethanol precipitation, subsequent washing with 80% ethanol and the complete removal of allremaining ethanol.Since RNA stability is a good indicator of RNA purity, we strongly recommend checking thestability of your RNA to ensure that it is free of contaminants.Incubate a small portion of your RNA at 37°C for 2 hours, then compare the sample to a duplicatecontrol stored at –70°C. If the sample incubated at 37°C shows a lower 28S:18S ratio than thecontrol or a significant downward shift on a formaldehyde agarose gel, the RNA may havenuclease contaminants (see Section V.C., below, for methods for assessing RNA quality).If your RNA template is from a plant or some other species with high pigment levels, pleasepay special attention to polysaccharide/pigment contamination. Polysaccharides/pigments arehard to remove and can’t be detected on the agarose gel. These glycoproteins might interfere withprimer binding sites of RNA during the first-strand cDNA synthesis leading to reduced cDNAyield.C. Assessing RNA Template Quality1. Methods for Assessing Total RNA Integrity∙Detection with the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (Agilent Technologies, CA):This microfluidics-based technology, which provides an alternative to traditional gel-based analysis, requires only 2–7 ng of RNA per analysis. We recommend using RNAsamples with an RNA Integrity Number (RIN) of 7 or higher. In addition to assessingRNA quality, this automated system provides a good estimate of RNA concentration.∙If you do not have access to an Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer, you can visualize your RNA on a denaturing formaldehyde agarose gel under UV light. The theoretical 28S:18S ratiofor eukaryotic RNA is approximately 2:1. If the 28S:18S ratio of your RNA is less than 1,your RNA template is not suitable for SMARTer RACE. When visualizing RNA usingEtBr, you need at least 0.5–1 µg of total RNA. Alternatively, SYBR® Green II or SYBRGold dyes (Molecular Probes; Eugene OR), allow you to detect as little as 1 or 2 ng ofRNA on your gel, respectively.2. Methods for Assessing mRNA IntegrityAll of the methods mentioned above can be used to assess the quality of your mRNA. However,because mRNA does not contain strong ribosomal bands, the assessment of its quality will besomewhat subjective. Typically, mRNA appears as a smear between 0.5 kb to 6 kb, with an areaof higher intensity around 1.5 and 2 kb. This size distribution may be tissue or species-specific. Ifthe average size of your mRNA is less than 1.5 kb, it could be an indication of degradation.D. Protocol: First-Strand cDNA SynthesisThe two 20 µl reactions described in the protocol convert 10 ng–1 µg of total or poly A+ RNA intoRACE-Ready first-strand cDNAWe recommend that you use poly A+ RNA whenever possible. However, if you have less than 50 µg of total RNA we do not recommend purification of poly A+ RNA because the final yield will be too small to effectively analyze the RNA quantity and quality.We strongly recommend that you perform a positive control cDNA synthesis using the includedMouse Heart Total RNA in addition to your experimental reactions.NOTE: If your RNA template is from a non-eukaryotic organism and/or lacks a polyadenylated tail,follow the protocol for 5’-first-strand cDNA synthesis with random primers in Appendix D.For 3’-first-strand cDNA synthesis, add a poly(A) tail using Poly(A) Polymerase (Takara Cat. No.2180A), and proceed with the following protocol.IMPORTANT:∙Prior to cDNA synthesis, please make sure that your RNA is intact and free of contaminants (see Section V.C. Assessing the Quality of the RNA Template).∙Do not change the volume of any of the reactions. All components have been optimized for the volumes specified.1.Prepare enough of the following Buffer Mix for all of the 5’- and 3’-RACE-Ready cDNA synthesisreactions plus 1 extra reaction to ensure sufficient volume. Mix the following reagents and spinbriefly in a microcentrifuge, then set aside at room temperature until Step 6:4.0 µl 5X First-Strand Buffer0.5 µl DTT (100 mM)1.0 µl dNTPs (20 mM)5.5 µl Total Volumebine the following reagents in separate microcentrifuge tubes:For preparation of 5’-RACE-Ready cDNA For preparation of 3’-RACE-Ready cDNA1.0–10 µl RNA* 1.0–11 µl RNA*1.0 µl 5’-CDS Primer A 1.0 µl 3’-CDS Primer A0–9 µl Sterile H2O 0–10 µl Sterile H2O11 µl Total Volume 12 µl Total Volume*For the control reactions, use 1 µl of Control Mouse Heart Total RNA (1 µg/µl).3.Mix contents and spin the tubes briefly in a microcentrifuge.4.Incubate tubes at 72°C for 3 minutes, then cool the tubes to 42°C for 2 minutes. After cooling, spinthe tubes briefly for 10 seconds at 14,000 x g to collect the contents at the bottom.NOTE: This step can be performed in a thermal cycler. While the tubes are incubating, you can prepare the Master Mix in Step 6.5.To just the 5’-RACE cDNA synthesis reaction(s), add 1 µl of the SMARTer II A Oligonucleotideper reaction.6.Prepare enough of the following Master Mix for all 5’- and 3’-RACE-Ready cDNA synthesisreactions. Mix these reagents at room temperatures in the following order:5.5 µl Buffer Mix from Step 10.5 µl RNase Inhibitor (40 U/µl)2.0 µl SMARTScribe Reverse Transcriptase (100 U)8.0 µl Total Volume7.Add 8 µl of the Master Mix from Step 6 to the denatured RNA from Step 4 (3’-RACE cDNA) andStep 5 (5’-RACE cDNA), for a total volume of 20 µl per cDNA synthesis reaction.8.Mix the contents of the tubes by gently pipetting, and spin the tubes briefly to collect the contents atthe bottom.9.Incubate the tubes at 42°C for 90 minutes in an air incubator or a hot-lid thermal cycler.NOTE: Using a water bath for this incubation may reduce the volume of the reaction mixture (due to evaporation), and therefore reduce the efficiency of first-strand cDNA synthesis.10.Heat tubes at 70°C for 10 minutes.11.Dilute the first-strand cDNA synthesis reaction product with Tricine-EDTA Buffer:∙Add 10 µl if you started with <200 ng of total RNA.*∙Add 90 µl if you started with >200 ng of total RNA.*∙Add 240 µl if you started with poly A+ RNA.*The copy number of your gene of interest should be the determining factor for diluting your sample.If you have 200 ng of total RNA but your gene of interest has low abundance, dilute with 10 µl. If you have 200 ng of total RNA and the gene of interest is highly abundant, dilute with 90 µl.12.You now have 3’- and 5’-RACE-Ready cDNA samples. Samples can be stored at –20°C for up tothree months.VI. Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE)PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PROTOCOL BEFORE STARTING.At this point, you have 3’- and 5’-RACE-Ready cDNA samples. The RACE reactions in this section use only a fraction of this material for each RNA of interest. There is sufficient single-stranded cDNA for PCR amplification of multiple genes.A. Things You Should Know Before Starting RACE PCR ReactionsIf you intend to use LD PCR to construct your full-length cDNA after completing 5’- and 3’-RACE, besure to set aside an aliquot of the 5’-RACE-Ready cDNA to use as a template in the PCR reaction.Please note that the efficiency of RACE PCR depends on the abundance of the mRNA of interest in yourRNA sample. Additionally, different primers will have different optimal annealing/extensiontemperatures. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (Appendix A) for suggestions on optimizing PCRconditions.NOTE: This is a RACE-specific protocol. It differs from the general SeqAmp protocol in many regards.B. Protocol: Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE)This procedure describes the 5’-RACE and 3’-RACE PCR reactions that generate the 5’ and 3’ cDNAfragments. We recommend that you also perform positive control 5’- and 3’-RACE using the TFRprimers and UPM. Although the Universal Primer Short (UPM short) is provided, nested PCR isgenerally not necessary in SMARTer RACE reactions.1.Prepare enough PCR Master Mix for all of the PCR reactions plus one extra reaction to ensuresufficient volume. The same Master Mix can be used for both 5’- and 3’-RACE reactions. For each50 µl PCR reaction, mix the following reagents:15.5 µl PCR-Grade H2O25.0 µl 2X SeqAmp Buffer1.0 µl SeqAmp DNA Polymerase41.5 µl Total Volume2.Prepare PCR reactions as shown below in Table 2.

5'RACE
5’-RACE技术的意义:可以精确定位转录起始位点。
但是定位转录起始位点又有什么意义呢?以RNA聚合酶Ⅱ为例,启动子区一般位于转录起始位点上游200-300bp的范围内,也即转录起始位点的确定有助于分析基因的转录。
而且有些基因具有多个转录起始位点,通过5’-RACE技术可以精确定位之,进而详细研究基因的调控机制。
5’-RACE试剂盒一般基于以下几种技术:SMART、Oligo capping method、self-ligation和anchored PCR。
下面将分别介绍这些技术的原理和各自的优缺点。
1、SMART技术。
该技术是基于以下两个观察发展起来的:a、不同反转录酶包括MMLV 合成的cDNA 3’端保真度不高;b、不同的反转录酶具有不同的加尾特性,MMLV特意的在cDNA末端加上3-4个dCTP。
该技术用MMLV合成cDNA第一链,同时利用它的加尾特性在合成的cDNA链3’加上3-4个dCTP,而且当帽子结构存在时该酶的加尾活性最高(对全长分子的富集机制),随后这3-4个碱基与体系中事先加入的引物(该引物的3’端有3-4个dGTP)配对,MMLV继而以聚合酶活性将配对引物补成双链。
目前基于该技术的试剂盒只有Clontech公司生产,全名为SMART RACE cDNA amplification kit(Cat634914)流程见图:该方法的突出优点就是操作简便,成功率较高,全场分子的比例较高。
cDNA第一链的合成和加尾一步即完成,避免了其他方法中对mRNA和cDNA链的反复操作,降低了mRNA降解和合成产物丢失的风险,使本来就含量甚微的全长分子得到最大保存,所以这种方法得到了广泛认可,应用最多。
如果加上RNA提取时间,这种技术可以在3个小时内得到加上接头的cDNA产物,最大限度地降低了mRNA的降解风险。
2、Oligo capping method方法(又称RLM-RACE)是由日本东京大学铃木等人开发,可以更精确的定位转录起始位点。

以下为使用本试剂盒时的注意事项,使用前请一定认真阅读!
1. 进行 5′RACE 实验时,为提高 RACE 结果的可信度,应同时进行 TAP(-)和 M-MLV(-)的负对 照实验。TAP(-)即:RNA 经去磷酸化反应后不进行 TAP 处理,直接进行 5′RACE Adaptor 的 连接及后续实验,以验证 RNA 去磷酸化是否充分。如果充分,RT-PCR 将不能扩增。但是,真正进 行 TAP(-)负对照实验时,由于不能保证 100%的去磷酸化,往往会有 RT-PCR 扩增结果,但其扩 增片段长度一般不同于目的片段。M-MLV(-)即:5′RACE Adaptor 连接反应后进行 RT 反应时 不添加 M-MLV,以排除基因组 DNA 污染造成的假阳性结果。如果 M-MLV(-)的负对照实验没有 特异性扩增,说明 5′RACE 结果来源于 mRNA。
【试剂配制】 用于 RNA 实验的试剂,须使用干热灭菌(180℃,3 小时以上)或用上述方法进行 DEPC 水处理灭菌后 的玻璃容器盛装(也可使用 RNA 实验用的一次性塑料容器),使用的无菌水须用 0.1%的 DEPC 处理后进 行高温高压灭菌。RNA 实验用的试剂和无菌水都应专用,避免混用后交叉污染。

2. 同时进行几个样品的反应时,应先配制各种试剂的混合液(Master Mix),然后再分装到每个反应管 中。这样,可使所取的试剂体积更准确,减少试剂损失,避免重复分取同一试剂。同时也可以减少实 验操作或实验之间产生的误差。
3. 使用Alkaline Phosphatase(Calf intestine)、Tobacco Acid Pyrophosphatase、T4 RNA Ligase、 Reverse Transcriptase M-MLV(RNase H-)和RNase Inhibitor等酶类时,应轻轻混匀,避免起 泡,分取之前要小心离心收集到反应管底部。由于酶粘度高,分取时应慢慢吸取。
●RNA 样品制备
本试剂盒是扩增 cDNA 5′末端全长的试剂盒。RNA 的完整性和纯度会影响 5′RACE 的结果。而制备 RNA 的关键是要抑制细胞中的 RNA 分解酶和防止所用器具及试剂中的 RNA 分解酶的污染。因此,在实 验中必须采取以下措施:戴一次性干净手套,使用 RNA 操作专用实验台,在操作过程中避免讲话等等。 通过以上办法可以防止实验者的汗液、唾液中的 RNA 分解酶的污染。

●实验例试剂盒是高灵敏度、高特异性扩增 cDNA 5′末端全长的试剂盒。使用 RT-PCR 方法扩增目的 DNA 时, 一般很难得到全长的 cDNA 片段,在基因工程研究中,分析遗传基因的全长 cDNA 序列十分重要。RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends)法能有效解决这一问题。TaKaRa 5′-Full RACE Kit 能够通过 已知的 cDNA 序列,高灵敏度、高特异性地扩增 cDNA 的 5′末端的全长序列。 本试剂盒应用了“去帽法”原理,Tobacco Acid Pyrophosphatase(TAP)可以去掉 mRNA 的 5′帽子 结构,使用 T4 RNA Ligase 将 5′RACE Adaptor 连接到 mRNA 的 5′端后,可以使用 5′RACE Adaptor 上的引物与已知序列部分的引物进行 RT-PCR 反应,高特异性地扩增 cDNA 5′末端的全长序列。 本试剂盒中含有完成 5′RACE操作的主要试剂。试剂盒中使用的Reverse Transcriptase M-MLV(RNase H-)经过了本公司的特殊改良,反转录性能良好,无RNase H活性,大大增加了反转录性能。结合使用 TaKaRa LA Taq®(TaKaRa Code:DRR02AM)进行PCR扩增时,其 5′RACE的扩增性能大大优于其 他同类产品。 本试剂盒应用了套式PCR原理,增加了PCR扩增的特异性与灵敏度,可以对少量样品或低丰度的基因进行 5′RACE实验,并且对长片段的 5′RACE扩增具有明显优势。5′RACE Inner Primer中含有BamH I 酶切位点,为克隆提供了方便。使用TaKaRa LA Taq®扩增得到的PCR产物的 3′端附有一个“A”碱基, 可直接克隆于T-Vector中。试剂盒中提供的Control HL60 Total RNA可作为Control RNA,使用Control Primer可扩增Human Prohibitin(PHB)基因 5′末端约 750 bp的DNA片段。 本试剂盒具有以下特点: 1. 扩增 cDNA 的 5′末端全长序列。应用了“去帽法”原理,可以有效扩增 cDNA 的 5′末端全长序列。 2. 高灵敏度的 5′RACE 扩增。采用了套式 PCR 法,对低丰度的基因或极少量的 RNA 样品同样可以进
