We get a lot of questions at NEB that come down to my cloning had trouble, my library prep had trouble, and people often like to blame the ligase. Let's see. The ligases are also used in what we classify as gene synthesis applications. Complementary (reverse) overhangs are automatically added to the query. the NEB publication, Comprehensive Profiling of Four Base Overhang Ligation Fidelity by T4 DNA Ligase and Application to DNA Assembly (3) or in our webinar, Fidelity and Bias in End-Joining Ligation: Enabling complex, multi-fragment Golden Gate DNA Assembly. Research at NEB has led to an increased understanding of ligase fidelity, including the development of a comprehensive method for profiling end-joining ligation fidelity in order to predict which overhangs have improved fidelity (1, 2, 3). And then that adenylated DNA intermediate is sealed, and the enzyme releases the sealed DNA and the AMP. Downstream mismatches, that's the 5' phosphorylated base pair are at the positions indicated here, sort of right off the diagonal. Now, in biotechnology, of course, you're often interested in sealing double stranded breaks. We actually published on this recently in PLoS One on T4. SplitSet ™ For simple, visual assay results, the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Colorimetric LAMP Assay Kit includes a color-changing pH indicator for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification. So, how does T7 compare with T4? Recently, NEB has published research on T4 DNA Ligase Fidelity (9) . A lot of App DNA, which is that intermediate, that second stage in ligation mechanism. Question on length of the strand. That's filled in first by the polymerase and then the HiFi ligase will ligate the filled in probe set. Kinetic information. So, any case when you're going to be ligating a nick and you want to make sure that the nick that you ligate has only correctly base paired bases around the ligation junction, that's when you have to worry about fidelity. And T4 will grab and react things as they anneal. And when looking at these, the Watson-Crick products, correctly base paired on both sides of the ligation junction, will be on the diagonal, indicated here. But our preference is for T4 because of high yield and high efficiency. Yes, I have. Overhang sequences are written 5′ to 3′. Ligase is going to have a lot of trouble with that. For example, NEBuilder HiFi takes advantage of high fidelity ligase among other changes to conditions to ensure high fidelity gene synthesis. What that means is that if a mismatch fits into a normal helix diameter, like GT or TT, it can be favored for mismatch ligation. This information, in conjunction with improved Type IIS restriction enzymes (e.g., BsaI-HFv2, NEB # R3733 and BsmBI-v2, NEB # R0739 ) and ligase fidelity tools , has enabled NEB to push the limits of Golden Gate Assembly. (2018) ACS Synth. And some of those RNA ligases will do RNA to DNA with decent efficiency, but DNA to DNA is a very difficult reaction. Just a few people, including my boss Dr. Tom Evans. Here in this application, we ligate one set of probes and then the amount of probes ligated is then quantified by qPCR. This information, in conjunction with improved Type IIS restriction enzymes (e.g., BsaI-HFv2, NEB # R3733 and BsmBI-v2, NEB # R0739 ) and ligase fidelity tools , has enabled NEB to push the limits of Golden Gate Assembly. It should work if you have a reaction designed for Taq ligase or Ampligase®, HiFi ligase is designed to be a drop-in into those reactions, that you should be able to. Yes, there are, so okay, a question on the assay. The ligase can't find its target. We tested out this ligase in a ligase detection reaction application. Question on annealing adapters, sort of annealing hairpin adapters. To do that, we devised this system for capillary electrophoresis as illustrated here. email or call 1-800-NEB-LABS. And here you can see compared to Taq ligase that is much higher fidelity. The second step involves incubation with a unique enzyme mix containing a kinase, a ligase and DpnI. High ligation frequency is expected for WC pairs. It tends to be DNA quality. For longer overhangs, like if you're thinking about something like a four base overhang system, comparable to a Golden Gate assembly, there's debate about whether annealing matters even between me and my colleagues here. And there is some evidence that for really complex assemblies, cycling helps. On top of that, what I'm showing you here is a very low concentration of T4 DNA ligase, 2nM. With this method in hand, we use it to profile a number of high fidelity ligases available. And then I'll talk briefly about HiFi Taq DNA ligase, a new ligase product that we have targeted towards these high fidelity applications. Ligase is also very active on cohesive ends and again, all three ligase formulations do very well. It's pretty much flat until the amount of DNA present in the reaction starts inhibiting things. Three orange color gradations are pre-defined: Overhangs in rows correspond to top strand, Overhangs in columns correspond to bottom strand, Overhangs are always written in 5' to 3' direction, For example, ATTC overhang in a row and GAAT overhang in a column corresponds to the WC pair, TACC overhang in a row and GGTT overhang in a column corresponds to a pair. But to actually, intentionally ligate across a gap, I'm not offhand aware of any applications. Anyone who's registered will get an email in the next little while with details on how to access that recording. And then we use color to say how high was the yield. The co-factor is hydrolyzed, and the phosphodiester bond is formed, sealing the break. And, those that form stable, multiple hydrogen bonds, again GT and purine-purines, for example, will tend to pass the fidelity gate of ligases and be ligated. Is there any way of terminating the activity of any of these thermostable ligases, say, Taq or 9 Degrees North after ligation. Save time and money by placing an order with NEB. High fidelity polymerases are everywhere—but why would you need a high fidelity ligase? Just give me a second to review the questions remaining. Where we would set up a number of targets. Are you doing COVID-19 related research? How does template purity affect DNA ligation? If you need to do a ligation in high salt we recommend T3 DNA ligase, but even there, the salt tolerance tops out around 250 millimolar. And it is also used in modern DNA library adaptor ligation reactions, such as preparing DNA libraries for next-generation sequencing. And, I'd also like to thank NEB marketing and Marcomm for helping me set up this seminar and delivering it to you. Red means a pretty large peak but minor compared to the yellow or green. We have not done a multiplex LDR reaction, though, sort of conceptionally, the way we do the screens are multiplexed, where we've got a whole bunch of probes competing for a single target. Who, between them have developed and maintained the ligase products. But in my experience, if you just incubate at 37, most short overhangs are going to scramble over the course of the reaction. One pair that is complementary to one strand of the target, and a second pair that's complementary to the other strand. Contact your local US Sales Representative. But my default recommendation remains T4. As you go down this list, nicks are very easy to ligate and are the highest activity substrate available. Things like blunt ends and single base overhangs simply don't present opportunity for a mismatch pairing to occur. A loss of preference, especially at the 5' side of the ligation junction. That's an interesting one. Then, in panel C, on the bottom, shows an example of a reaction of that probe mixture with one target strand, the target containing a GT at the ligation junction. Ligation Protocol for NEB PCR Cloning Kit; ... B., Knight, T.F., Evans, T.C., Lohman, G.J.S. And when might you not want to use T4? T4 has high activity, which is why it's so attractive in molecular biology. And it also does a lot of the upstream mismatches with high activity and a number of even double mismatches were ligated by T4. Our latest RUO kit, the Luna ® SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Multiplex Assay Kit, enables high throughput workflows for real-time detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using hydrolysis probes.For simple, visual assay results, the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Colorimetric LAMP Assay Kit includes a color-changing pH indicator for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification And we have a question on template purity. GetSet ™ Predict high-fidelity junction sets. What applications there are that require high fidelity ligation, and what ligases you might want to use for them. Please sign back in to continue your session. DNA Ligase Fidelity: When does it matter? So, we can detect a very small amount of ligation product. You see a color code at the bottom. You could also ligate mismatched substrates as shown on the right of the screen there. That's actually an interesting one. Then I would like to discuss DNA ligase fidelity, and what we mean by that, and how that pertains to T4. And, my collaborators externally who are just great resources to have. Our latest RUO kit, the Luna ® SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Multiplex Assay Kit, enables high throughput workflows for real-time detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using hydrolysis probes.For simple, visual assay results, the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Colorimetric LAMP Assay Kit includes a color-changing pH indicator for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification What you need to know here is that we're looking at the difference in signal between ligating probes on the correct target where everything is Watson-Crick base paired and ligating probes on a mismatched target. Comprehensive profiling of four base overhang ligation fidelity by T4 DNA ligase and application to DNA assembly ACS Synthetic Biology. Ligases interrogate the shape of the helix. Those ligated probes now become a template for the yellow probes to anneal and ligate in subsequent rounds. Generally this is a case where you're looking for a specific base pair in a target DNA in some other gene of interest. But ligases seem like they're searching DNA by binding randomly. the NEB publication, Comprehensive Profiling of Four Base Overhang Ligation Fidelity by T4 DNA Ligase and Application to DNA Assembly (3) or in our webinar, Fidelity and Bias in End-Joining Ligation: Enabling complex, multi-fragment Golden Gate DNA Assembly. In order to really maximize fidelity in an application like this, you need to both use a high fidelity ligase and choose your reaction temperature appropriate for your probe set and the buffer you're using. What you'll see is that for T4 in its standard buffer, you only have a very small amount of ligation product. You see what we do is we encode which peaks we see by position, to identify which product it was. the NEB publication, Comprehensive Profiling of Four Base Overhang Ligation Fidelity by T4 DNA Ligase and Application to DNA Assembly (3) or in our webinar, Fidelity and Bias in End-Joining Ligation: Enabling complex, multi-fragment Golden Gate DNA Assembly. Four upstream probes and four downstream probes, each providing all four possible bases on either side of the ligation junction and coded by size. This ligase fidelity information can be used in conjunction with the NEB Golden Gate Assembly kits to achieve high … The Ligase Fidelity Viewer is used to check assembly fidelity of overhang sets, the GetSet tool is used to design high-fidelity overhang sets, and the SplitSet tool is used to divide up a target DNA sequencing into high-fidelity assembly fragments. T7 shows a modest increase in fidelity compared to T4 DNA ligase, but at the cost of a dramatic increase in overhang sequence bias. We're able to pick out several other products that formed from, in this case, one mismatch each, and are able to identify what those mismatched bases were. NEB devised a screen for rapid profiling nick-ligation fidelity and this was applied in the development of HiFi Taq DNA ligase, which we now recommend as the highest activity and the highest nick-ligation fidelity available commercially for use in SNP-detection applications and related technologies. So this is what you often use T4 ligase for. Comprehensive profiling of four base overhang ligation fidelity by T4 DNA ligase and application to DNA assembly ACS Synthetic Biology. Each complement had a specific pair of bases at the ligation junction. Here, you're generally doing a blunt or single-base overhang ligation, a TA ligation. NEB has compiled this information into the following tools: Ligase Fidelity Viewer ™ (v2) Visualize overhang ligation preferences. Now we look to the cohesive end. Now, I also mentioned, of course, quite extensively, that T4 is a low fidelity ligase. Yes. Room Temperature Ligation For convenience, ligations may be done at room temperature (20-25°C). Okay, what would we recommend for ligating hairpin adapters onto template DNA with random sticky ends. And blunt ends and single-base overhangs are even slower than that. You'll find what we did there was we did a ligation and then carried an aliquot of ligation mixture straight into the qPCR reaction. Both are primarily ligating the Watson-Crick products along the diagonal, but we see substantial ligation of, especially the 5' downstream products. We know that T7 doesn't really do blunt ligation, so it only does cohesive end ligation. Specify the overhangs to be checked as a comma-separated list: By default, the tool provides ligation data in a graphical output, indicating the general efficiency of each connection. If we're looking at all combinations of bases at the ligation junction at a target, that gives you 16 possible targets. All of them very rapidly seal the nick, essentially to the same endpoint. For blunt ends the reaction is slow, so you generally swamp the reaction with more ligase than there are ends to get the reaction done in a timely fashion. Though we did do an extended incubation in an attempt to visualize any minor products that would form. But for these very difficult to ligate fragments, for example a single base overhang. BsaI-HF ® v2 . Biol., 7, 2665–2674.). Ligase fidelity has been studied for a number of DNA ligases including T4. For cohesive (sticky) ends, use 1 µl of T4 DNA Ligase in a 20 µl reaction for 10 minutes. And all the open squares represent products that are mismatched on both sides of the ligation junction. There's the related ligase chain reaction. And then, once you've created these circles they can be detected by a variety of methods including standard PCR and rolling circle amplification. At higher salt there is an effect on kcat/KM, that's probably a binding effect. Indeed, there are many overhangs which resulted in minimal or zero product. HiFi Taq DNA Ligase (NEB #M0647) displays increased fidelity over Taq DNA Ligase (NEB #M0208) and Ampligase, showing a larger ΔCt value between probes fully complementary to the target sequence and those with a mismatched base pair at the ligation junction. So, if you're too far below the annealing temperature, the probes shown here in the 45 degree side, the amount of mismatch ligation goes up dramatically. Of course T4 DNA ligase is one of the most used ligases in molecular biology and its notable applications include restriction enzyme cloning where you will generally be ligating a short cohesive or blunt end into a vector. In multiplex ligation assay, the relative ligation frequency) was experimentally determined for all 256 four-base overhangs in a single experiment. And the ligase was still there but it didn't interfere with the downstream steps in any way that we could see. We are excited to announce that we are in the process of switching all reaction buffers to be BSA-free. Everything we do here is dependent on the NEB sequencing core and the staff listed there. These software tools, and their underlying code, are covered by one or more patents, trademarks and/or copyrights owned or controlled by New England Biolabs, Inc (NEB). I generally prefer doing those kind of reactions, just running them at room temperature and you're basically dynamically annealing at that point. Okay, interesting question we often get. One of the limitations of ligation detection reaction is that it is a linear amplification. The data used comes from recent publications on ligation fidelity using T4 DNA Ligase (1, 2) and represents subsets of the data sets discussed in those papers. What you can see is that both on the 3' mismatch and the 5' mismatch, HiFi Taq DNA ligase beats everything else available. Figure 3: HiFi Taq DNA Ligase exhibits increased thermostability Thanks very much for the great questions. international site. If you'd like to know more about these methods, there's more information on the NEB website. That adenyl group is transferred from the enzyme to the 5' phosphate at the break. That is that the higher fidelity ligase, and that higher fidelity on the upstream side of the ligation junction, that is, the base pair providing the 3' hydroxyl for ligation. Overhangs should be written in 5' to 3' direction. And even there, you're just not going to get the... the fidelity data I showed for T4 was at 37 degrees and that's essentially as good as it gets for nicks. Ligase Fidelity Viewer™ (v2): Help Page This tool allows the user to determine whether a set of four base overhangs is expected to show mismatch ligation between any members of the set. Cohesive ends are between 10 and 100 times slower to ligate than a nick. In order to sort of quickly analyze this data we abstracted this into a dot notation. HiFi Taq is fully selective for fully DNA substrates. So, a very large amount of non-nicked DNA can end up inhibiting the ligation reaction, simply from like a search problem. But, you know, there are many applications with people out there who use it. Here at NEB, we wanted to first learn about DNA ligases in a very comprehensive manner. And then, generally low quality DNA. And you can see sort of broadly is a little higher fidelity, but what I find most interesting here is that exactly which mismatches are ligated are notably different between Taq ligase and 9 Degrees North ligase. So, a higher ∆ Cq means higher fidelity. Let me tell you a little bit more about applications that require high fidelity ligation. You have been idle for more than 20 minutes, for your security you have been logged out. Some of the more modern methods are the padlock and molecular inversion probes, which are very similar but use a single probe that circularizes on the target. Contribute to potapovneb/ligase-fidelity development by creating an account on GitHub. The sort of canonical structure, and the one relevant to say, replication, would be sealing a nick, a break in one strand. In this case, 55 degrees. So, cleaning up the DNA is really the only option to get rid of the ligase activity. Everything I've looked at turns over efficiently on nicks, but I can't say for sure on end-joining reactions. Our latest RUO kit, the Luna ® SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Multiplex Assay Kit, enables high throughput workflows for real-time detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using hydrolysis probes.For simple, visual assay results, the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Colorimetric LAMP Assay Kit includes a color-changing pH indicator for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification We also encourage you to try our free Ligase Fidelity … We have a few references on today's talk. Again, if you're going to do high fidelity sticky end ligation, 30 to 37 is a good temperature to try for T4. So, T4's high activity, which is necessary for ligating difficult substrates like blunt ends, could also translate to ligating nicks that are not perfectly base paired or contain gaps. You can look at... if you look at our NAR paper on the development of the assay system we do describe what is essentially the HiFi ligase buffer development and in there the really key component is higher pH, which gives both higher activity and seems to give a bit more selectivity. NEB has compiled this information into the following tools: Ligase Fidelity Viewer ™ (v2) Visualize overhang ligation preferences. And you see here, if we use regular T4 DNA ligase, the quick ligation kit which includes polyethylene glycol, or the Blunt/TA ligation master mix, which is our highest activity formulation of T4. We have not multiplexed multiple probes, multiple targets in the same reaction. Biol., 7, 2665–2674.). We want to think about applications where you need to specifically ligate nicks without associated end-joining reactions or gap ligation. The default conditions are ligation at 25°C for 18 hours; these conditions have been shown to well predict the results of Golden Gate assembly using typical cycled conditions (16°C 5 min/37°C 5 min, 30 cycles). There are only a few things that it still was able to ligate in significant amounts and a few more in trace amounts. Thanks again, and we hope to see you at future webinars. I'm going to do some easy ones first. So, as I mentioned, the high fidelity ligases still show quite a few mismatches. And only in the higher activity formulations including polyethylene glycol do we get really high yields of the difficult to ligate fragment. As I mentioned, there's these gap ligase variants of the LCR and the molecular inversion probes where you're using a gap as sort of a stop and then filling it in order to ensure high fidelity. Your profile has been mapped to an Institution, please sign back for your profile updates to be completed. Again, there is both a simply ligation dependent and a gap filling ligation variant of these protocols. A lot of the time that is not going to be a critical issue but there are some applications where it is. What that gives us by CE analysis shown here is in the top panel, A. And they're the ones you want to key to the Tm of your probes or the nick that you're trying to ligate. I don't have a comprehensive answer on that yet. The Ligase Fidelity Viewer then returns an estimated fidelity for assembly, along with an assembly matrix that identifies potential mismatch connections. Incorrect or duplicate overhangs are automatically discarded; spaces (if any) are excluded; overhangs may be entered in upper or lower case. DNA Modifying Enzymes & Cloning Technologies, DNA Assembly, Cloning and Mutagenesis Kits, Protein Expression & Purification Technologies. And all the ligation products as both the upstream and downstream probes have unique lengths. The thermostable ligases are active 37 and above. Learn more about Ligation Independent Cloning (LIC) Are you doing COVID-19 related research? Hello everyone. And now, I'd like to open it up for any questions. (2018) ACS Synth. For RNA-splinted ligation, the best ligase we have for doing that is SplintR ligase, which is unfortunately not thermo-stable. For example, a substrate with a G-T mismatch. For example, cohesive ends, where you've got a short overlap, complementary overlaps. Gapped substrates on the left of your screen which would be a nick that is missing a base at the ligation junction and T4 can actually ligate across a missing base to make a short loop out. What are its limitations? Yellow means significant yield. And while T4 ligase is fairly promiscuous, there are other ligases that will reject these mismatched base pair substrates and not ligate them. One target strand per pool, listed here is the complements. So, T4 DNA ligase has essentially no detectable activity on untemplated DNA to DNA ligation. As well as the founders and directors of NEB. Ligation can also be performed in any of the four restriction endonuclease NEBuffers or in T4 Polynucleotide Kinase Buffer if they are supplemented with 1 mM ATP. And weaker fidelity on the downstream side of the ligation junction, which is the base pair providing the 5' phosphate. Toggle the checkbox to display normalized ligation counts. Please see publications for further details. So this is the trace from panel C on the previous page. That's a substrate with a break in one strand of a DNA duplex. You know, T4 can ligate across gaps and ligase mismatches, but it's got reduced activity on those substrates. HiFi Taq DNA Ligase (NEB #M0647) displays increased fidelity over Taq DNA Ligase (NEB #M0208) and Ampligase, showing a larger ΔCt value between probes fully complementary to the target sequence and those with a mismatched base pair at the ligation junction. But it differs from ligase to ligase. We really recommend, if you're designing any of these detection ligation-dependent, detection reactions, or in general going to be using a high fidelity ligase to ligate probes, you're going to get the best specificity if you use this tool to optimize your probe design and then choose the correct ligation temperature for your probe set. Advances in ligase fidelity . You see the starting probe mixture where the visualized labeled probes, the four phosphorylated downstream probes, run at discrete sizes. Now, that said, we have not...in a lot of follow on reactions, the residual ligase activity is not going to be a problem, especially if next steps are at lower temperature. A few references there at the top about the overview of ligation and ligation chemistry. When do you need to worry about high fidelity in your ligation? 2018. In the middle section, we have ligase fidelity references, including the third one there is the overview of our mismatch detection profile. To learn more and manage cookies, please refer to our Cookie Statement. All Rights Reserved. What else we got? As I mentioned earlier, GT is a base pair that ligases have a great deal of difficulty distinguishing from a correct Watson-Crick base pair. So, have we looked at untemplated ligation? Here, I'm talking about one strand, the base pairing between strands contains a mismatch. And I'll note what we do here is we used the manufacturer recommended amount of ligase and supplied buffer. My name is Gregory Lohman. Download a PDF containing pricing for our full product list. Contact your local subsidiary or distributor. GetSet ™ Predict high-fidelity junction sets. What else? For this example, we choose the BsmBI-v2 restriction enzyme and 42°C/16°C thermocycling protocol. They don't actually check what base pairs are there. Indeed we do. So, I would just recommend seeing what's been published and it's potentially worth comparing the two in your own application. You can find out more about the process we used to sort of develop a new buffer. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssynbio.8b00333i. We also encourage you to try our free Ligase Fidelity … I would use for that the regular standard T4, don't use either of the products containing polyethylene glycol in the buffer because that does modestly increase mismatches for the short sticky ends. Getting KM and turnover rate for double stranded break fragments is trickier so we don't have firm numbers on those, but the KM for blunts is roughly in the high micromolar range, so it's much weaker binding than binding to a nick. NEB has developed ligase fidelity tools to facilitate the design of high-fidelity Golden Gate Assemblies: Ligase Fidelity Viewer-visualize overhang ligation preferences; GetSet™ – predict high-fidelity junction sets; SplitSet™ – split DNA sequence for scarless high-fidelity assembly; All tools are available at neb.com/research/NEBeta-tools
