Barcoded NucIeotides**
Anna Baccaro, Anna-Lena Steck, and Andreas Marx*
DNA as an information storage syste m is simple and at the
same time complex owing to the va rious different arrangeme nts of the four natural nucleotides.1I1 The DNA synthesis
by DNA polyme rases is intriguing, since these enzymes are
able to catalyze the elongation of the primer strand by
recogni zing the DNA template and selecting the corresponding nucleotide.l lb.21 This feature can be exploited to diversify
th e four-base-code by substitution of the natural substrates
with modifi ed analogues PI Nucleotide analogues equipped
with various marker groups (e.g. dyes, tags, or spin labelsl41)
can be employed in DNA polymerase catalyzed reactions to
increase the application scope of DNA (e.g. sequ e ncing,
structural characterization, and immobilizationI4d.51). The
" information" embedded in the marker groups allow conclusions to be drawn from the evaluation of the resu lting
signals. A significant gain in information would result by
e mbedding a marker th at exhibits th e properties of a barcode.
Typically, th e ba rcode label bears no descriptive data but it
consists of a series of signs which code for th e de posited
information (the term was used in other contexts with DNA
before).16 1 For univ ersal adoption th e barcode should be
simple, affixed easily, and allow a relia bl e assignment of th e
deposited information . O ligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) meet
the requirements of a barcode label to a great extent, since
the y have a simple code and can be distinguished by
characteristics such as self-assembly and hybridization specificity. For a simple introduction of th ese DNA barcode
labels into DNA, an e nzyme- mediated approach utilizing
ODN-modified nucleotides would be desirable. PI Howeve r,
the acceptance of th ese modified nucleotides by DNA
polyme rases should be hampe red by the steric demand of
th e ODN-modified nucleotides. Herein , we show that despite
the steric de mand th e e nzymatic synthesis of barcoded DNA
is feasible by usin g ODN-modified nucleoside triphosphates
that are a bout 40-times larger th a n the natural nucleo tides
and longer than the di a meter of a DNA polymerase (Figure 1 A).

He rein, we introduce 2' -deoxyribonucleotide analogues,
containing an ODN at th e nucleobase (Figure 1 B), as
substrates for DNA polymerase mediated reactions. We
chose th e C5 position for pyrimidines and th e C7 position
for 7-deaza-purines to introduce the DNA strand at th e
nucleobase, since modifications at these positions have bee n
acce pted by DNA polymerases in several cases. I).HI To ODNbarcode-label nucleotides, an ODN strand was activated with
a commercial available carboxy modifie r at the 5' -end while
still on solid support and then coupled to the aminefunctiona lized triphosphates (Figure 1 B, see Supporting
Info rm ation) . After deprotection and cleavage from th e
solid support, th ese ODN-functionalized nucleotides were
tested in DNA polyme rase promoted primer-exte nsion reactions (yields and DNA sequ e nces are listed in Figure 1 C and
Supporting Information , Table Sl). We examined the acceptance of the ODN-modified thymidine a nalogues by DNA
polyme rases in primer-extension reactions (Figure 2A for
Therminalor DNA polymerase, Supporting Information Figure Sl for KlenTaq DNA polyme rase). We us ed a 23nucleotide (nt) primer with a 32P-label at th e 5'-end and a
35-nt templ ate, which contains a single A residue at position 27, coding for inserti on of a thymidine analogue aft er
ex te nding th e primer by three nucleo tides (Figure 2A).
Incub ati on with a DNA polymerase in absence of a thymidine

amounts of full-length product (Figure 2 A , lane 1), while the

(Figure 2 A , lanes 3-6). Double bands were observ ed arising
from non -te mpla ted nucleotide ad dition to the 3'-te rmini of
th e blunt-ended DNA strand, which has been re po rted
before.191 As expected, these reacti on products mi grated
signifi ca ntly more slowly in de naturing polyacryl amide gel
electrophoresis (PAG E ) than the unmodifi ed full-l e ngth
reacti o n product, indicating that th e provided bulky nu cleotide is incorporated. The lowe r mobility th at increased with
the size of the label, is explained by th e additio nal bulk of the
incorpo ra ted barcode DNA stra nd . Simila r findin gs of lowe r
mobility for modified reaction products have been reported
before.IIO]
To e va luate the e ffici ency of incorporation of th e modi fi ed nucleo tid es in co mparison to the na tural nucleotides we
conducted single- nu cleotide incorpo ra ti o n expe rim e nts in
whi ch the modified nucleo tides (dT(T P, dT2'TP) directly
compete for incorpo ration with th e ir na tural counte rpa rts
(Supporting Informati on, Figure S2) . The ratio of unm odifi ed
versus modified nucleotide incorpo ration is easily accessible
by PAGE through th e signifi ca ntl y di ffe re nt rete nti o n times
ca used by th e incorpora ti on of th e bul ky m odifica tion . This
setup was pre viously used for the same purposel 8a] as we ll as to
st udy DNA polymerase selectivity.P I[ We found th a t Therminator DNA polyme rase inco rporates the investigated nucleotides with approximately 6- and 16-fold lower effi c iency than
th e natural nucleotide while for KlenTaq DNA p olymerase
33- and 66-fold lower effi ciencies were observed . The
obse rved effici e ncies compare we ll to rece ntly st udi e d C5modified dTIP analogues. lsal
We investigated th e feasibility of multiple inco rpo rations
(Supporting Informati on, Figure S3). Using dT2!YyP and a
template coding for the insertion of 46 TMPs in t he primer
exte nsion reaction , a highly branched reaction product is
generated with at least 7 modified nucleotides in a row.
E ncouraged by these res ul ts we synthesized dATP, dCTP, a nd
dGTP an alogues (see Supporting Informati o n) a nd tested
the m as well in the prime r extension reactio n (Figure S4). All
the analogues we re accepted by Therm inalor DNA po lyme rase and the prime r was extended to full -le ngth .
We tested th e ability of DNA poly me ra ses to utilize the
inco rp orated barcode DNA strand as a prime r in primer
exte nsion reactions. For this purpose, we pe rform ed prime r
exte nsion reactions with natural dNTPs as a control re action,
and ano th er reaction with dT23TP instead of dTIP using a 24nt primer a nd a 42-nt templa te coding for the inserti on of o ne
dTMP. These reaction products were hybridized with a seco nd
templ a te (69-nt) comple me ntary to the incorporate d ba rcode
DNA strand and incuba ted with a DNA polyme rase and
dNTPs for 1 h at 60 °C performing the barcode primer
exte nsio n reaction (Figure 2 B) . We obse rv ed comple te di sappea rance of th e initial band (Figure 2 B, lanes 2 a nd 4) and
the appea rance of a ne w band shifted to lower mobility,
indicating that the incorporated barcode DNA s trand was
used as the primer and elongated to a full-l e ngth prodpct
(Figure 2 B, la ne 4) . A s expected, in th e control reaction with
natural dNTPs, th e mobility of the reacti o n product aft er the
first prime r exte nsion was not altered on incubation und er the
same conditions. In addition, we tested the e lo ngation of the
inco rporated DNA stra nd by rolling circle amplification l121
(RCA) in solution a nd found extension as well (Supporting
Information, Figure S5).
