监测蛋白质(Monitoring proteins) 3.4 监测蛋白质(Monitoring proteins) The interactions between two key macromolecular species, nucleic acids and proteins, control many important biological processes. There have been limited effective methodologies to study these interactions in real time. In this work, we have applied a newly developed molecular beacon (MB) DNA probe for the analysis of an enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and for the investigation of its properties of binding with single-stranded DNA. Molecular beacons are single-stranded oligonucleotide probes designed to report the presence of specific complementary nucleic acids by fluorescence detection. The interaction between LDH and MB has resulted in a significant fluorescence signal enhancement, which is used for the elucidation of MB/LDH binding properties. The processes of binding between MB and different isoenzymes of LDH have been studied. The results show that the stoichiometry of LDH-5/MB binding is 1:1, and the binding constant is 1.910-7 M-1. We have also studied salt effects, binding sites, temperature effects, pH effects, and the binding specificities for different isoenzymes. Our results demonstrate that MB can be effectively used for sensitive protein quantitation and for efficient protein-DNA interaction studies. MB has a signal transduction mechanism built within the molecule and can thus be used for the development of rapid protein assays and for real-time measurements.

监测蛋白质(Monitoring proteins) 3.4 监测蛋白质(Monitoring proteins) Application of MBs in phosphorylation and ligation studies. a) Real-time monitoring of nucleic acid ligation: Two oligonucleotides that are complementary to opposite halves of the MB loop hybridize with the MB, whereby a nick is formed, and the stem may be opened slightly. The DNA ligase binds to the nick and catalyzes the ligation of the two short oligonucleotides to form a longer oligonucleotide. The ligation product hybridizes with the MB to restore fluorescence. b) Monitoring of nucleic acid phosphorylation: Oligonucleotide A is first phosphorylated at the 5’-hydroxy group by the polynucleotide kinase. The nick formed upon the hybridization of oligonucleotide B and phosphorylated oligonucleotide A with MB can be sealed by the DNA ligase, whereupon the stem helix of the MB is opened, and fluorescence is restored.

(Left) Curve A is a time scan of fluorescence intensity of MB with N1; B is of MB with N2 and N4; C is of MB with N2 and N3; curve D is of MB itself. t0 is the time when T4 DNA ligase is added into the MB/oligo solution. (Right) Gel electrophoresis images. Lanes 1 and 2 are for sample D; 3 and 4 for sample C; 5 and 6 for sample B; and 7 and 8 for sample A. Lanes 1, 3, 5 and 7 represent samples D, C, B and A before the addition of T4 DNA ligase, while lanes 2, 4, 6 and 8 represent corresponding samples obtained at 360 s after the addition of ligase. There is a major difference between lanes 5 and 6, while there is basically no difference for all the other pairs.

(Right) Fluorescence intensity ratio is plotted as a function of temperature. The ratio is calculated using the fluorescence intensity of MB with N1 over that of MB with N2 and N4 without ligase. This profle can be used for determining the optimal temperature for ligase studies using MBs.

Therefore, each plot can only be compared within itself, and cannot be used to draw comparisons with plots.
