COMMENT The CAGE (cap analysis gene expression) is based on preparation
and sequencing of concatamers of DNA tags deriving from the
initial 20/21 nucleotides from 5' end mRNAs.
Full-length cDNAs were at first selected with the Cap-Trapper
method. Then, a specific linker (Linker1, some linker contain 5 bp
sequences that have 15 variations for each rna sample) containing
the ClassIIs restriction enzyme site MmeI was then ligated to the
single-strand cDNA and then the second strand of cDNA synthesized.
The resulting double-stranded cDNA was cleaved by the restriction
enzyme MmeI and a second linker (Linker2) was ligated to the 2 bp
overhang at the MmeI cleaved site, to produce a 5' 20/21 tag
having two linkers at both sides. The ligation products were
separated from unmodified DNA with magnetic beads. The 5' end cDNA
tags were released from the beads, and the DNA fragments were
amplified in a PCR step by using the two linker-specific primers
(Primer1 (uni-PCR), Primer2 (MmeI-PCR)). The desired 32-37 bp tags
were purified and ligated to form concatamers, and then the
concatamer were fractionated and ligated to the plasmid ZErO-2.
The ligations were finally electroporated into DH10b cells
(Invitrogen) and obtained plasmids were sequenced with forward
primers.
CAGE libraries were sequenced with forward primers essentially as
described with minor modifications to use zeocin for selection of
recombinants. We used in-house developed algorithms for the
extraction of tags and for masking the vectors. CAGE tags were
extracted with the following parameters: vector masking, minimum
12 bp recognition allowed; linker (13 bp) masking: maximum
mismatch, 2 bp allowed; XmaJI site maximum mismatch, 2 bp allowed;
tag length, 17-24 bp.
