MOLECULAR BIOLOGY: WORKING WITH DNA

SEQUENCING

Extended Sequencing with Klenow Fragment

Extended Sequencing with Klenow Fragment
Contributor: The Laboratory of Andrew Murray at Harvard University
 
Procedure
A. Annealing the primer

1. Add the following to a small microcentrifuge tube

5 μl M13 DNA (1 μg with a standard 1.5 ml pellet in 25 μl; equals 0.4 pmol)

2 μl sequencing Buffer

3 μl 17-base primer (2 μg/ml; equals 0.5 pmol)

Add ddH2O to 10 μl final volume

2. Mix contents and incubate 5 min at 65°C

3. Cool slowly to room temperature (10 min)

4. Prepare microtiter plate with wells labeled T, C, G, and A containing 2 μl each of the corresponding termination mix.

B. Labeling-extension reaction

1. Centrifuge the template primer tube and then add:

2 μl freshly-diluted 1X Extension Mix

1 μl sequencing label (10 mCi/ml α-[35S]dATP at 600 Ci/mmol; CAUTION! see Hint #1)

1 μl 100 mM DTT

2 Units of Klenow DNA polymerase

Add ddH2O to 16 μl total

2. Mix, centrifuge and incubate 5 min at room temperature (20°C).

C. Termination reaction

1. Transfer 3 μl of the extension reaction to each of the termination mix wells.

2. Mix the contents well.

3. Incubate the plate for 10 min at 37°C.

4. Add 4 μl of Formamide Dyes to each well.

5. Heat to 80°C for 5 min.

6. Load 2 μl of each reaction on the sequencing gel if a 6-tooth comb is used, or load 1 μl for a 12-tooth comb.
