Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Protein-bound glycan analysis is crucial for understanding physiological and pathological processes.
  • Current glycan analysis methods face challenges due to similar physicochemical properties of carbohydrates.
  • Lectin-based biosensors offer an alternative for glycan detection but require optimal protein immobilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a directed immobilization strategy for lectin biosensors using noncanonical amino acids and bioorthogonal chemistry.
  • To enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of lectin biosensors through controlled protein orientation.
  • To improve the performance of diagnostic tools for glycan analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Site-specific incorporation of a reactive noncanonical amino acid (Nε-((2-azidoethoxy)carbonyl)-l-lysine) into a cysteine-less single-chain variant of human galectin-1 (scCSGal-1).
  • Utilized strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition for directed lectin immobilization on a biosensor surface.
  • Employed biolayer interferometry to assess binding sensitivity.

Main Results:

  • Directed immobilization of scCSGal-1 via bioorthogonal chemistry resulted in a 12-fold enhancement in binding sensitivity to glycosylated von Willebrand factor compared to random immobilization.
  • Demonstrated successful site-specific incorporation of the reactive noncanonical amino acid.
  • Validated the effectiveness of controlled protein orientation in improving biosensor performance.

Conclusions:

  • Controlled, site-specific protein orientation is critical for optimizing lectin biosensor sensitivity and selectivity.
  • The combination of noncanonical amino acid incorporation and bioorthogonal chemistry provides a powerful platform for developing advanced diagnostic tools.
  • This strategy significantly improves the performance of lectin-based glycan detection systems.
