This study introduces a novel single-molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique for simultaneously identifying two protein types in complex biological samples, aiding in tracking compositional changes.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Biological complexes are often multisubunit and undergo dynamic compositional changes during cellular processes.
  • Tracking these protein compositional shifts is crucial for understanding complex biological functions.
  • Existing methods may lack the resolution or multiplexing capability for simultaneous dual-protein identification in situ.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a single-molecule technique for the simultaneous identification of two distinct protein types within complex biological samples.
  • To adapt atomic force microscopy (AFM) recognition imaging for multiplexed protein detection.
  • To demonstrate the technique's capability in analyzing protein composition of known biological complexes and chromatin.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of atomic force microscopy (AFM) recognition imaging.
  • Tethering two different antibodies to the AFM tip for dual-target recognition.
  • Sequential blocking with antigenic peptides to differentiate antibody binding events.
  • Application to identify BRG1 and beta-actin in Swi-Snf complexes and H2A and H3 histones in chromatin.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated simultaneous identification of two specific protein components in a single AFM image.
  • Successfully identified BRG1 and beta-actin within the human Swi-Snf complex.
  • Successfully identified H2A and H3 histones in chromatin samples.
  • The technique allows for distinguishing individual antibody recognition events.

Conclusions:

  • The developed AFM-based method enables simultaneous, single-molecule detection of two protein types in complex samples.
  • This technique provides a powerful tool for analyzing the dynamic composition of biological complexes and chromatin.
  • It offers new possibilities for studying protein interactions and modifications at the single-molecule level.
