Real-time protein detection in homogeneous solutions is necessary in many biotechnology and biomedical studies. The recent development of molecular aptamers, combined with fluorescence techniques, may provide an easy and efficient approach to protein elucidation. This report describes the development of a fluorescence-based assay with synthetic DNA aptamers that can detect and distinguish molecular variants of proteins in biological samples in a high-throughput process. We used an aptamer with high affinity for the B chain of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), labeled it with a fluorophore and a quencher at the two termini, and measured fluorescence quenching by PDGF. The specific quenching can be used to detect PDGF at picomolar concentrations even in the presence of serum and other cell-derived proteins in cell culture media. This is the first successful application of a synthetic aptamer for the detection of tumor-related proteins directly from the tumor cells. We also show that three highly related molecular variants of PDGF (AA, AB, and BB dimers) can be distinguished from one another in this single-step assay, which can be readily adapted to a microtiter plate assay for high-throughput analysis. The use of fluorescence quenching as a measure of binding between the DNA probe and the target protein eliminates potential false signals that may arise in traditional fluorescence enhancement assays as a result of degradation of the DNA aptamer by contaminating nucleases in biological specimens. This assay is applicable to proteins that are not naturally DNA binding. The excellent specificity, ultrahigh sensitivity, and simplicity of this one-step assay addresses a growing need for high-throughput methods that detect changes in the expression of gene products and their variants in cell cultures and biological specimens. 相似文献

This report describes studies on the use of a molecular-beacon aptamer (MBA) as a synthetic high-affinity DNA probe that exhibits fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in response to a specific protein biomarker, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). As a step toward the application of the MBA in a fluorescence-based assay for biological specimens, we examined the influence of certain physical and chemical parameters of incubation that would affect DNA conformation and DNA-backbone modification, and thus improve nuclease resistance. This bioassay is compatible with pH, temperature, and monovalent cation levels typically encountered in biological samples, and phosphorothioate backbone-modified MBA is able to exhibit specific FRET. With minimal sample processing and without assay optimization, the MBA is able to detect as little as 10 ng PDGF per mug of serum proteins from cell-culture media. We also show that different sets of known fluorophore-quencher pairs can be successfully used in the MBA for sensitive detection of the PDGF target. It should, therefore, be possible to develop multiplex bioassays that monitor either quenching or enhancement for the simultaneous detection of several biomarkers by using MBAs created from high-affinity DNA ligands for the desired protein targets. Interestingly, we observed that, with a DNA ligand with multiple binding sites for a standard multimeric protein target, the FRET bioassay could be accomplished by using a mixture of two individually labeled DNAs-one carrying the fluorophore and the other with the matching quencher. This observation has significant implications in the future design of more selective DNA-based FRET bioassays that use more than one ligand for the same protein target. 相似文献

Muscleblind-like proteins (MBNL) are RNA-binding proteins that bind to the poly(CUG) and poly(CCUG) sequences that are the causative agents of myotonic dystrophy. It has been suggested that as a result of binding to the repeating RNA sequences, MBNL1 is abnormally expressed and translocated, which leads to many of the misregulated events in myotonic dystrophy. In this work, steady-state fluorescence quenching experiments suggest that MBNL1 alters the structure of helical RNA targets upon binding, which may explain the selectivity of MBNL1 for less structured RNA sites. The removal of one pair of zinc fingers greatly impairs the binding affinity of MBNL1, which indicates that the two pairs of zinc fingers might possibly interact with RNA targets cooperatively. Alanine scanning mutagenesis results suggest that the binding energy may be distributed across the protein. Overall, the results presented here suggest that small molecules that stabilize the helical structure of poly(CUG) and poly(CCUG) RNAs will inhibit the formation of complexes with MBNL1. 相似文献

Native porcine odorant-binding protein (OBP) bears eleven sites of phosphorylation, which are not always occupied in the molecular population, suggesting that different isoforms could co-exist in animal tissues. As phosphorylation is a dynamic process resulting in temporary conformational changes that regulate the function of target proteins, we investigated the possibility that OBP isoforms could display different binding affinities to biologically relevant ligands. The availability of recombinant proteins is of particular interest for the study of protein/ligand structure-function relationships, but prokaryotic expression systems do not perform eukaryotic post-translational modifications. To investigate the role of phosphorylation in the binding capacities of OBP isoforms, we produced recombinant porcine OBP in two eukaryotic systems, the yeast, Pichia pastoris, and the mammalian CHO cell line. Isoforms were separated by anion exchange HPLC, and their phosphorylation sites were mapped by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and compared to those of the native protein. Binding experiments with ligands of biological relevance in the pig, Sus scrofa, were performed by fluorescence spectroscopy on two isoforms of recombinant OBP expressed in the yeast. The two isoforms, differing only by their phosphorylation pattern, displayed different binding properties, suggesting that binding specificity is driven by phosphorylation. 相似文献

应用紫外光谱和荧光光谱法研究二氢卟吩e6(Ce6)和锌二氢卟吩e6(ZnCe6)分别与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的相互作用。通过紫外光谱、荧光光谱、光照实验,探讨了两种物质与BSA相互作用的荧光猝灭光谱特征、猝灭机理、与BSA结合反应及光照的影响。结果表明,Ce6和ZnCe6都可与BSA发生相互作用,Ce6和ZnCe6浓度的变化会引起Ce6、ZnCe6与BSA之间能量转移的变化,Ce6的猝灭程度要比ZnCe6强,猝灭机制是由静态猝灭引起的。Ce6与BSA的结合能力强于锌二氢卟吩e6,结合位点数均接近1,结合的作用力类型主要为范德华力和氢键作用力。Ce6-BSA和ZnCe6-BSA复合物均有光漂白特性,光漂白机制均为光学修饰型引起的,这种机制有利于提高光动力治疗(PDT)效果。 相似文献

A portable fluorescence assay for direct endopeptidase activity detection has been developed with the use of a cyclophane‐based conductive conjugated fluorescent polymer and peptide substrates. The substrates, carrying internal quenching amino acid, were designed to be cleaved in a sequence‐specific manner by a protease of interest. Intact substrates were incapable of quenching the fluorescence of the polymer due to steric constraints. Upon specific cleavage, the quencher became exposed and could interact with the ring structure of the fluorescent polymer, disrupting the conjugation and quenching the fluorescence along the polymer chain. The approach was developed using a model Glu‐C endopeptidase from Staphylococcus aureus strain V8, detected in the picomolar to micromolar concentration range. The developed assay was tested for the detection of endopeptidase activity of botulinum toxin. The feasibility study showed that botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT)‐A could be detected down to picomolar concentration, with limit of detection of 5 pg, or 33 amol in 5 µL of sample, and a total assay time under 2 h. The assay exhibited high specificity and no cross‐reactivity with BoNT‐B was detected. Following this proof‐of‐concept work, the assay can be further optimized and expanded to differentiate between various botulinum toxin serotypes in their active proteolytic form, or modified for detection of proteases with other specificities. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

We report the sensitive detection of telomerase activity by using exonuclease III-aided target recycling to amplify the signal produced by a chimeric LNA-DNA molecular beacon. We demonstrate the specific detection of as few as 30 telomerase-positive breast cancer cells in a single-measurement fluorescence assay that avoids the problematic PCR and gel analysis of the current "gold-standard" assay. 相似文献

A new modular nanoswitch was described for versatile, rapid (within 1 h), homogeneous, and sensitive protein detection. The system employs two hairpins (HP1 and HP2) that can be reciprocally recognized through the apical loop–loop interaction. HP2 possesses a conformation‐switching stem–loop structure, with appended single‐stranded tails on each end, which can hybridize with the recognition‐element‐conjugated DNA strands to construct a protein‐responsive HP2 scaffold. It works according to a simple mix‐and‐detect assay format, with the first formation of a kissing complex between HP1 and HP2 scaffolds for fluorescence quenching, and then cascade propagation from steric strain through protein binding to the dissociation of the kissing complex for fluorescence recovery. The detection universality of such a modular nanoswitch was demonstrated by using three multivalent proteins, including anti‐digoxigenin (Anti‐Dig) antibody, streptavidin, and thrombin, with detection limits of 0.33, 0.17, and 0.5 nm , respectively. 相似文献

Less than 50 years since tau was first isolated from a porcine brain, its detection in femtolitre concentrations in biological fluids is revolutionizing the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. This review highlights the molecular and technological advances that have catapulted tau from obscurity to the forefront of biomarker diagnostics. Comprehensive updates are provided describing the burgeoning clinical applications of tau as a biomarker of neurodegeneration. For the clinician, tau not only enhances diagnostic accuracy, but holds promise as a predictor of clinical progression, phenotype, and response to drug therapy. For patients living with neurodegenerative disorders, characterization of tau dysregulation could provide much-needed clarity to a notoriously murky diagnostic landscape. 相似文献

Aptamers are promising therapeutic and diagnostic agents for various diseases due to their high affinity and specificity against target proteins. Structural determination in combination with multiple biochemical and biophysical methods could help to explore the interacting mechanism between aptamers and their targets. Regrettably, structural studies for aptamer–target interactions are still the bottleneck in this field, which are facing various difficulties. In this review, we first reviewed the methods for resolving structures of aptamer–protein complexes and for analyzing the interactions between aptamers and target proteins. We summarized the general features of the interacting nucleotides and residues involved in the interactions between aptamers and proteins. Challenges and perspectives in current methodologies were discussed. Approaches for determining the binding affinity between aptamers and target proteins as well as modification strategies for stabilizing the binding affinity of aptamers to target proteins were also reviewed. The review could help to understand how aptamers interact with their targets and how alterations such as chemical modifications in the structures affect the affinity and function of aptamers, which could facilitate the optimization and translation of aptamers-based theranostics. 相似文献
