基于群体和家系的遗传研究通常会导致鉴定出与临床疾病或表型在统计学上相关的遗传变异。对于许多疾病和性状,大多数变异是非编码的,因此可能通过影响微妙的、相对难以预测的控制基因表达的机制来发挥作用。在这里,我们描述了一种一般的战略方法,用于确定非编码变体的优先级,并筛选它们的功能。这种方法涉及使用功能基因组数据库进行计算优先级排序,然后对转录因子 (TFs) 与风险和非风险等位基因的差异结合进行实验分析。对于遗传变异的电泳迁移率变化测定 (EMSA) 和 DNA 亲和沉淀测定 (DAPA) 分析,使用合成 DNA 寡核苷酸 (oligo) 来鉴定疾病或表型相关细胞的核裂解物中的因子。对于 EMSA,通过在三硼酸盐-EDTA (TBE) 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上进行非变性电泳分析具有或不具有结合核因子 (通常是 TFs) 的寡核苷酸。对于 DAPA,寡核苷酸与磁柱结合,特异性结合 DNA 序列的核因子通过质谱法或还原十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳 (SDS-PAGE) 洗脱和分析,然后进行蛋白质印迹分析。这种通用方法可广泛用于研究与任何疾病、性状或表型相关的非编码遗传变异的功能。

Sequencing and genotyping based studies, including Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), candidate locus studies, and deep-sequencing studies, have identified many genetic variants that are statistically associated with a disease, trait, or phenotype. Contrary to early predictions, most of these variants (85-93%) are located in non-coding regions and do not change the amino acid sequence of proteins1,2. Interpreting the function of these non-coding variants and determining the biological mechanisms connecting them to the associated disease, trait, or phenotype has proven challenging3-6. We have developed a general strategy to identify the molec....

1. Preparation of Solutions and Reagents

  1. Order custom DNA oligonucleotide probes for use in EMSA and DAPA.
    1. To reduce non-specific protein binding, design short oligos (between 35-45 base pairs (bp) in length)30, and place the variant of interest directly in the center flanked by its 17 bp endogenous genomic sequence. For EMSA oligos, add a 5' fluorophore. For DAPA oligos, add a 5' biotin tag.
    2. Order both the sense strand and its reverse complement strand. Alternatively, order duplex (pre-annealed) oligos. When naming the oligos, base the nomenclature on an established reference genome.
      Note: "Risk" a....

In this section, representative results of what to expect are provided when performing an EMSA or DAPA, and the variability with regards to the quality of lysate is characterized. For example, it has been suggested that freezing and thawing protein samples multiple times may result in denaturation. In order to explore the reproducibility of EMSA analysis in the context of these "freeze-thaw" cycles, two 35 bp oligos differing at one genetic variant were incubated with a single batch of nu.......

Although advances in sequencing and genotyping technologies have greatly enhanced our capacity to identify genetic variants associated with disease, our ability to understand the functional mechanisms impacted by these variants is lagging. A major source of the problem is that many disease-associated variants are located in n on-coding regions of the genome, which likely affect harder-to-predict mechanisms controlling gene expression. Here, we present a protocol based on the EMSA and DAPA techniques, valuable molecular t.......
