Directed Assembly of Elastin-like Proteins into defined Supramolecular Structures and Cargo Encapsulation In Vitro

6.3K
At the interface of organic and aqueous solvents, tailored amphiphilic elastin-like proteins assemble into complex supramolecular structures such as vesicles, fibers and coacervates triggered by environmental parameters. The described assembly protocols yield Protein Membrane-Based Compartments (PMBCs) with tunable properties, enabling the encapsulation of various...

G Protein-selective GPCR Conformations Measured Using FRET Sensors in a Live Cell Suspension Fluorometer Assay

10.0K
Simple methods to detect the selective activation of G proteins by G protein-coupled receptors remain an outstanding challenge in cell signaling. Here, Fӧrster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensors have been developed by pairwise tethering a GPCR to G protein peptides to probe conformational changes at controlled concentrations in live...

The video demonstrates a paper-based immunoassay, involving amine-functionalized cellulose discs cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. Covalent immobilization of IgG-Fc-specific capture antibodies, followed by the introduction of immunoglobulin G and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated detection antibodies, results in a color change confirming the presence of immunoglobulin...

Bacterial Detection & Identification Using Electrochemical Sensors

28.9K
We describe an electrochemical sensor assay method for rapid bacterial detection and identification. The assay involves a sensor array functionalized with DNA oligonucleotide capture probes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) species-specific sequences. Sandwich hybridization of target rRNA with the capture probe and a horseradish peroxidase-linked DNA oligonucleotide detector probe produces a measurable amperometric...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysical chemistry
  • Analytical chemistry
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Distinguishing structurally similar proteins like immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes is challenging.
  • Current methods for detecting Ig deficiencies are often complex and costly, requiring multiple specific antibodies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a sensitive and cost-effective fluorescence sensor array for discriminating between structurally similar protein isotypes.
  • To demonstrate the array's utility in identifying immunoglobulin deficiencies in patient serum samples.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a 4-component sensor array using three cavitand hosts and two fluorophores.
  • Utilizing a host-guest interaction mechanism for fluorescence-based detection.
  • Integration with a Protein L-based extraction process for serum sample analysis.

Main Results:

  • The 4-component sensor array successfully discriminated between five structurally similar Ig protein isotypes.
  • The array, combined with Protein L extraction, could recognize Ig deficiencies in serum samples.
  • The developed method offers a simpler and lower-cost alternative to existing antibody-dependent tests.

Conclusions:

  • Host-guest based fluorescence sensor arrays are effective for sensing subtle protein structural differences.
  • This array provides a promising platform for simplified and affordable immunodeficiency diagnostics.
  • The technology has the potential to improve the accessibility of diagnostic testing for immunoglobulin deficiencies.
