Thermodynamics of DNA-RNA heteroduplex formation: effects of locked nucleic acid nucleotides incorporated into the DNA strand
Harleen Kaur et al. Biochemistry. 2008.
Abstract
A locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomer is a conformationally restricted nucleotide analogue exhibiting enhanced hybridization efficiency toward complementary strand. The potential of LNA-based oligonucleotides has been sought to improve the selectivity and specificity of probe sets employed in detection and specific targeting of nucleic acids. We have evaluated the influence of "locked nucleic acid" residues on hybridization thermodynamics, counterions and hydration of DNA.RNA heteroduplex using spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques. One to three LNA substitutions have been introduced either at the adenine (5'-AGCACCAG) or thymine (5'-TGCTCCTG) residues of the DNA strand. A complete thermodynamic profile for heteroduplex formation suggested that LNA-induced stabilization results from a favorable increase in the enthalpy of hybridization that compensates for the unfavorable entropy change. Analysis of differential scanning calorimetry data indicated a nonzero heat capacity change, DeltaCp, accompanying the heteroduplex formation. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements indicated an increase in binding affinity of the two strands as the LNA content of the heteroduplex is increased. Overall our result demonstrated that the effect of LNA-substitution at the thymine residue is more pronounced compared to the adenine residue. Furthermore, optical melting studies showed that, compared to an unmodified duplex, the formation of LNA-modified duplex is accompanied by a higher uptake of counterions and a lower uptake of water molecules. Our result, thus, presents a preliminary attempt toward the characterization of hybridization thermodynamics of the LNA-based probe-target sets, which will in turn aid in the selection of optimal conditions for hybridization experiments, and evaluation of the minimum probe-length required for hybridization and cloning experiments.
