Abstract
Herein, we describe a procedure for DNA methylation analysis using the bisulfite-mediated C-to-U conversion of a target DNA followed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) and phosphate-affinity polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The MSP was performed using a 1:1 mixture of 5'-phosphorylated methylation-specific and 5'-OH non-methylation-specific primers. The PAGE using an immobilized phosphate-binding tag molecule (i.e., a polyacrylamide-bound dizinc(II) complex, Zn2+–Phos-tag), which selectively captures the 5'-phosphorylated DNA fragment, enabled the mobility-shift detection of the methylation-specific product as a slower migration band. Using this novel procedure, we demonstrated the detection of a methylated cytosine base in a pUC19 plasmid.
