Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Protein Engineering

Background:

  • Analyte-responsive polymers (ARPs) are crucial for advanced biosensing applications.
  • Elastin-like polymers (ELPs) are intrinsically disordered polymers with tunable phase behavior.
  • Understanding ligand-induced changes in ELP dynamics and assembly is key for developing responsive materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate proof-of-concept for analyte-responsive polymers (ARPs) in biosensing.
  • To investigate the impact of ligand binding on the temperature-dependent dynamics and self-assembly of ELP-SH3 fusion proteins.
  • To characterize the thermodynamic and structural changes associated with SH3 binding to ELP.

Main Methods:

  • Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) for binding thermodynamics.
  • Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy for conformational analysis.
  • Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and temperature-dependent UV-vis spectroscopy for phase behavior and assembly studies.

Main Results:

  • SH3 protein binding increased the transition temperature of the ELP-SH3 fusion protein.
  • Ligand binding was observed to destabilize ARP assemblies.
  • The observed changes were consistent with theoretical models for ELP fusions and reproducible in complex media.

Conclusions:

  • Ligand binding can specifically trigger responses in analyte-responsive polymers.
  • The interdependence of ligand binding and phase behavior in intrinsically disordered protein systems is highlighted.
  • This work provides a foundation for designing sophisticated biosensing materials based on polymer-protein conjugates.
