Bioorthogonal Chemical Reporters for Monitoring Unsaturated Fatty‐Acylated Proteins

Dietary unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, have been shown to be covalently incorporated into a small subset of proteins, but the generality and diversity of this protein modification has not been studied. We synthesized unsaturated fatty‐acid chemical reporters and determined their protein targets in mammalian cells. The reporters can induce the formation of lipid droplets and be incorporated site‐specifically onto known fatty‐acylated proteins and label many proteins in mammalian cells. Quantitative proteomics analysis revealed that unsaturated fatty acids modify similar protein targets to saturated fatty acids, including several immunity‐associated proteins. This demonstrates that unsaturated fatty acids can directly modify many proteins to exert their unique and often beneficial physiological effects in vivo.

荧光灯制灯工艺对卤粉性能影响的研究

制作荧光灯时,灯用卤粉先后经过球磨、烤管、排气(或释汞)、老炼等工艺程序。这些工艺对卤粉发光性能的影响,主要在球磨、烤管工艺对卤粉发光性能的影响作过研究和报导。我国各制灯厂的制灯工艺尚未建立起严格的统一规范,因而同一性能的灯用卤粉在不同制灯厂的制灯水平差异较大,为此有必要就制灯工艺对卤粉发光性能的影响开展系统工作,以搞清不同制灯工艺对卤粉性能的影响并分析其原因,从而为改进卤粉应用特性和为消除不合理的制灯工艺对卤粉带来的有害影响,进而为提高荧光灯的光学性能提供有效的实验数据,对于提高灯的性能有着重要的经济价值。     

One‐Step Synthesis of Superbright Water‐Soluble Silicon Nanoparticles with Photoluminescence Quantum Yield Exceeding 80%

Fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) have shown potential applications in bioimaging/biolabelling, sensing, and nanomedicine/cancer therapy due to their superior properties such as excellent photostability, low cytotoxicity, and versatile surface modification capability. Here, a simple, high‐yield, and one‐pot method is developed to prepare superbright, water‐soluble, and amine‐functionalized SiNPs with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) comparable to fluorescent II–VI semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) but with much lower cytotoxicity. By introducing a commercially available amine‐containing silane molecule, N‐[3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (DAMO), water‐soluble SiNPs are prepared with PLQY of 82.4% via a microwave‐assisted method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest PLQY value ever reported for water‐soluble fluorescent SiNPs. The silicon element in our SiNPs is mainly four‐valent silicon and thus these SiNPs may also be termed as oxidized silicon nanospheres or silica nanodots. We have also demonstrated the importance of the silane structure (e.g., a suitable amine content) on the photoluminescence property of the prepared SiNPs. As revealed by the time‐resolved photoluminescence technique, the highest PLQY value of DAMO SiNPs is correlated with their monoexponential decay with a relatively long fluorescence lifetime. In addition, the potential use of these SiNPs has also been demonstrated for fluorescent patterning/printing and ion sensing (including Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺).

Activatable Peptides for Rapid and Simple Visualization of Protease Activity Secreted in Living Cells

Activity-based monitoring of cell-secreted proteases has gained significant interest due to the implication of these substances in diverse cellular functions. Here, we demonstrated a cell-based method of monitoring protease activity using fluorescent cell-permeable peptides. The activatable peptide consists of anionic (EEEE), cleavable, and cationic sequences (RRRR) that enable intracellular delivery by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), which is secreted by living cancer cells. Compared to HT-29 cells (MMP2-negative), HT-1080 cells (MMP2-positive) showed a strong fluorescence response to the short fluorescent peptide via cell-secreted protease activation. Our approach is expected to find applications for the rapid visualization of protease activity in living cells.
