Analogs of dUTP and UTP that contain a biotin molecule covalently bound to the C-5 position of the pyrimidine ring through an allylamine linker arm were synthesized. These biotin-labeled nucleotides are efficient substrates for a variety of [Escherichia coli, herpes simplex, mouse lymphoid tumor L1210 cells, human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase] DNA and [mouse, calf thymus, E. coli, T] RNA polymerases in vitro. Polynucleotides containing low levels of biotin substitution (50 molecules or fewer per kilobase) have denaturation, reassociation, and hybridization characteristics similar to those of unsubstituted controls. Biotin-labeled polynucleotides, both single and double stranded, are selectively and quantitatively retained on avidin-Sepharose, even after extensive washing with 8 M urea, 6 M guanidine hydrochloride, or 99% formamide. In addition, biotin-labeled polynucleotides can be selectively immunoprecipitated in the presence of [rabbit] antibiotin antibody and Staphylococcus aureus protein A. The unique features of biotin-labeled polynucleotides suggest that they will be useful affinity probes for the detection and isolation of specific DNA and RNA sequences.
