摘要
A procedure for rapid purification of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products allowing precise molecular weight determination using electrospray ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (ESI-FTICR) mass spectrometry is described, PCR amplification utilized the DNA polymerase from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) which, unlike Tag, does not incorporate a nontemplated terminal deoxyadenosine phosphate, An 89-base pair nucleotide portion of the spacer region between the 16S and 23S ribosomal rRNA genes was amplified from the genome of three members of Bacillus cereus group and a 114 nucleotide region from the Bacillus subtilis, PCR involves polymerization of nucleotide precursors using two oligonucleotide primers and an amplification enzyme, as well as the presence of metal ions, Mass spectrometric analysis greatly benefits from removal of the oligonucleotide primers (15- and 17-mers in this instance) and nucleotide precursors since they adversely affect sensitivity and metal ion adduction results in an inaccurate molecular weight determination, In the presence of guanidinium hydrochloride, the PCR products bind preferentially to a silica resin, allowing removal of other components (i,e,, dNTP's, primers, and salts), Further removal of metal ions was accomplished using a microdialysis device, allowing samples to be pumped through a hollow cellulose fiber with an external countercurrent now of 2.5 mM ammonium acetate, Prior to injection into the mass spectrometer, the sample buffer was adjusted to 50 vol % acetonitrile, 25 mM piperidine, and 25 mM imidazole, which enhanced signal intensity, The molecular weights of the PCR products determined by nucleotide sequence and MS analysis were in excellent agreement, and several PCR products were analyzed where mass differences corresponding to single base substitutions could be accurately assigned, These assignments were possible due to the high mass precision, accuracy, and resolution FTICR inherently affords, This constitutes the first report demonstrating the ionization and detection of PCR products by mass spectrometry with mass precision and accuracy for assigment of such modifications or substitutions.
