6、cy of abundant and increasing the frequency of rare mRNAs Bonaldo et al., 1996 Genome Research 6, 791-806 normalization is claimed to bring all cDNAs into the same order of magnitude abundance, i.e., within 10 fold of each other rarely works this well. More commonly, abundant genes are reduced 10 fo

7、ld and rare ones increased 3-10 fold. Intermediate class genes do not change much at all Approach make a population of cDNAs single stranded tester hybridize with a large excess of cDNA or mRNA to Cot =5.5 driver Cot value is critical for success of normalization 5-10 is optimal higher values are no

What are normalized l

10、ibraries good for? EST sequencing gene identification biggest use is to reduce the number of cDNAs that must be screened good general purpose target to screen subtracted libraries are useful but limited in utility Drawbacks Not trivial to make Size distribution of library changes Longer cDNAs lost,B

11、ioSci 203 lecture 20 page 5 copyright Bruce Blumberg 2001. All rights reserved,Normalization and subtraction (contd),Subtraction - removing cDNAs (mRNAs) expressed in two populations leaving only differentially expressed Sagerstrm et al. (1997) Ann Rev. Biochem 66, 751-783 +/- screening St. John and

12、 Davis (1979) Cell 16, 443-452. Hybridize the same library with probes prepared from two different sources and compare the results example - hybridize normal liver cDNA library with probes from normal and cancerous liverColonies or plaques that are expressed in target tissue (tumor) compared with co

All rights reserved,Normalization and subtraction (contd),What about rare mRNAs? These might be differential but not abundant enough to detect Do reverse experiment - select

14、for absence of a signal example - hybridize a tumor cDNA library with probe prepared from normal liverselect for genes absent in tumor Get genes lost from normal tissue and gained in tumor by this approach,BioSci 203 lecture 20 page 7 copyright Bruce Blumberg 2001. All rights reserved,Normalization

15、and subtraction (contd),Advantages Relatively simple approach Doesnt require difficult manipulations on probes Disadvantages Housekeeping genes often appear to be differential Sensitivity less than subtracted screening +/- screening typically requires 10 fold difference in expression levels using st

16、andard methods not widely used any longer BUT microarray analysis is really just a refined version of +/- screening fluorescence ratios give good internal standards more precise quantitation increased sensitivity,BioSci 203 lecture 20 page 8 copyright Bruce Blumberg 2001.

18、le stranded cDNA 10-100 fold more sensitive than +/- screening,BioSci 203 lecture 20 page 9 copyright Bruce Blumberg 2001. All rights reserved,Normalization and subtraction (contd),Subtractive screening (contd) benefits sensitive can simultaneously identify all cDNAs that are differentially present

19、in a population good choice for identifying unknown, tissue specific genes drawbacks easy to have abundant housekeeping genes slip through multistage subtraction is best in effect normalize first, then subtract libraries have limited applications may not be useful for multiple purposes rule of thumb

20、 make a high quality representative library from a tissue of interest save subtraction and other fancy manipulations for making probes to screen such libraries with unlimited screening easy to use libraries for different purposes, e.g. the liver library hepatocarcinoma cirrhosis regeneration specifi

21、c genes,BioSci 203 lecture 20 page 10 copyright Bruce Blumberg 2001.

23、Various binding protein strategies,Interaction screening,Subtracted or +/- screening,BioSci 203 lecture 20 page 11 copyright Bruce Blumberg 2001. All rights reserved,How to identify your gene of interest (contd),If you wish to identify a cDNA, what is the most important piece of information you need

24、?First step in any hybridization based method (high or low stringency) is to get information on expression straightforward with high stringency homologous screening - Northern analysis cross species screening requires more care perform a genomic Southern to identify hybridization and washing conditi

25、ons that identify a small number of hybridizing fragments standard hybridization conditions are 1 M Na+, 43% formamide, 37 C begin washing at RT in 2 x SSC and expose increase stringency until reasonable signal/noise ratio is obtained use these conditions for Northern. If Northern is unsuccessful -

26、obtain a genomic clone and repeat the screening at high stringency this approach will never fail to identify a homologous gene,Information on where the mRNA is expressed either what tissue or what time during development such information is indispensable!,BioSci 203 lecture 20 page 12 copyright Bruc
