Here we present a platform for visualizing long DNA molecules biotinylated for anchoring on surfaces. We have reported an approach for DNA molecules tethered on an avidin protein coated surface with biotinylated bovine serum albumin.6 In the earlier approach, we found a crucial issue of DNA photo-cleavage caused by bis-intercalation dyes that stain DNA molecules tethered on the surface. As these continually excited fluorophores have a high probability to attack a DNA phosphate backbone,9 the excitat...

Visualization of large DNA molecules tethered on glass or bead surfaces has been utilized for investigating DNA-protein interactions, protein dynamics on DNA substrate,1,2 and polymer physics.3,4 A platform for single-tethered large DNA molecules has a few distinct advantages compared to other DNA immobilization methods.5 First, a large DNA molecule tethered on the surface has a natural random-coil conformation without a shear flow, which is critically important for a DNA-binding protein to recognize its binding site. Second, it is very easy to change the chemical environment around DNA molecules for a series of enzymatic reactions in a flow chamber. Third, a microfluidic shear flow induces DNA molecular stretching up to 100% of the full contour length, which is very difficult to achieve using alternative DNA elongation approaches such as surface immobilization6 and nanochannel confinement.7 A fully stretched DNA molecule also provides positional information that can be useful for monitoring enzymatic movements on the genomic map.
Nevertheless, the DNA tethering approach has a critical shortcoming in that the intercalating dye such as YOYO-1 generally causes tethered DNA molecules to be readily broken by fluorescence excitation light. Generally, large DNA molecules have to be stained with a fluorescent dye for visualization under a fluorescent microscope. For this purpose, YOYO-1 or other TOTO series dyes are primarily used because these dyes fluoresce only when they intercalate double-stranded DNA.8 However, it is well-known that bis-intercalating dye causes light-induced DNA photo-cleavage because of the intercalation of fluorophores.9 Further, fluorescently stained DNA molecules tethered on the surface are more fragile since shear flows can exert breaking forces on freely moving DNA molecules. Therefore, we developed FP-DBP as a novel DNA-staining protein dye for imaging large DNA molecules tethered on the surface. The advantage of using FP-DBP is that it does not cause photo-cleavage of the DNA molecules to which it binds.10 In addition, FP-DBP does not increase the contour length of DNA, while bis-intercalating dyes increase the contour length by about 33%.
This video method introduces the experimental approach for tethering large DNA molecules to a PEG-biotin surface. Figure 1 illustrates different approaches of tethering DNA with blunt ends and sticky ends. Thus, this staining method can be applied to any type of DNA molecule. Figure 2 depicts a schematic representation of the flow chamber assembly that can be controlled by a syringe pump to generate shear flows to stretch DNA molecules as well as to load chemical and enzyme solutions. Figure 3 demonstrates micrographs of fully stretched DNA molecules tethered on the PEGylated surface11 and stained with FP-DBP.

visualization of surface-tethered large dna molecules with a fluorescent protein dna binding peptide

Large DNA molecules tethered on the functionalized glass surface have been utilized in polymer physics and biochemistry particularly for investigating interactions between DNA and its binding proteins. Here, we report a method that uses fluorescent microscopy for visualizing large DNA molecules tethered on the surface. First, glass coverslips are biotinylated and passivated by coating with biotinylated polyethylene glycol, which specifically binds biotinylated DNA via avidin protein linkers and significantly reduces undesirable binding from non-specific interactions of proteins or DNA molecules on the surface. Second, the DNA molecules are biotinylated by two different methods depending on their terminals. The blunt ended DNA is tagged with biotinylated dUTP at its 3' hydroxyl terminus, by terminal transferase, while the sticky ended DNA is hybridized with biotinylated complimentary oligonucleotides by DNA ligase. Finally, a microfluidic shear flow makes single DNA molecules stretch to their full contour lengths after being stained with fluorescent protein-DNA binding peptide (FP-DBP).

Figure 1 shows two different DNA tethering methods depending on terminal structures of the DNA molecule. Figure 1a illustrates how the sticky ended DNA molecules are hybridized with complementary biotinylated oligonucleotides, which are immobilized on the avidin-coated PEG surface. Figure 1b shows the addition of biotinylated ddNTP or dNTP to the 3&#39; hydroxyl group of a blunt ended DNA by terminal transferase. We added flexible linkers...
