基于纳米金和脱氧核酶荧光探针检测铅离子

本文以"8-17"脱氧核酶为识别靶标的配体,设计了一种基于纳米金(AuNPs)和脱氧核酶的荧光信号放大法检测Pb2+的探针。"8-17"脱氧核酶由一条底物链(17DS)和一条酶链(17E)组成。在底物链的一端修饰荧光基团6-羧基荧光素(FAM),而酶链通过巯基修饰到AuNPs表面。当底物链与酶链相混合时,酶链与底物链杂交,AuNPs与FAM靠近,导致FAM的荧光被AuNPs猝灭。当向该体系加入Pb2+时,"8-17"脱氧核酶被Pb2+激活,酶链将底物链剪切为两段,破坏了杂交的刚性结构,从而使得FAM的荧光恢复。基于此原理,构建了一种定量检测Pb2+的高灵敏传感器,该传感器对Pb2+的检测限达0.6nmol/L。

Probing metal binding in the 8-17 DNAzyme by TbIII luminescence spectroscopy

Metal-dependent cleavage activities of the 8-17 DNAzyme were found to be inhibited by Tb(III) ions, and the apparent inhibition constant in the presence of 100 microM of Zn(II) was measured to be 3.3+/-0.3 microM. The apparent inhibition constants increased linearly with increasing Zn(II) concentration, and the inhibition effect could be fully rescued with addition of active metal ions, indicating that Tb(III) is a competitive inhibitor and that the effect is completely reversible. The sensitized Tb(III) luminescence at 543 nm was dramatically enhanced when Tb(III) was added to the DNAzyme-substrate complex. With an inactive DNAzyme in which the GT wobble pair was replaced with a GC Watson-Crick base pair, the luminescence enhancement was slightly decreased. In addition, when the DNAzyme strand was replaced with a complete complementary strand to the substrate, no significant luminescence enhancement was observed. These observations suggest that Tb(III) may bind to an unpaired region of the DNAzyme, with the GT wobble pair playing a role. Luminescence lifetime measurements in D(2)O and H(2)O suggested that Tb(III) bound to DNAzyme is coordinated by 6.7+/-0.2 water molecules and two or three functional groups from the DNAzyme. Divalent metal ions competed for the Tb(III) binding site(s) in the order Co(II)>Zn(II)>Mn(II)>Pb(II)>Ca(II) approximately Mg(II). This order closely follows the order of DNAzyme activity, with the exception of Pb(II). These results indicate that Pb(II), the most active metal ion, competes for Tb(III) binding differently from other metal ions such as Zn(II), suggesting that Pb(II) may bind to a different site from that for the other metal ions including Zn(II) and Tb(III).     

Gold nanorods-based FRET assay for sensitive detection of Pb2+ using 8-17DNAzyme

In this paper, we have reported a sensitive assay for fluorescence "turn-on" detection of Pb(2+) in aqueous solutions based on FRET between gold nanorods (GNRs) and the FAM-labeled substrate strand of 8-17DNAzyme. The fluorescence of the FAM-labeled substrate strand is quenched when 8-17DNAzyme is adsorbed on GNRs surface through electrostatic interaction. In the presence of lead ions, the fluorescence is restored due to the decrease of FRET efficiency caused by the specific cleavage of the FAM-labeled substrate strand by the enzyme, which weakens the electrostatic interaction between the GNRs and short FAM-labeled DNA fragment. The interference of eleven common metal ions has been tested, indicating that Pb(2+) can be selectively detected. This method exhibits a high sensitivity for Pb(2+) with a detection limit of 61.8 pM and a linear range from 0.1 nM to 100 nM. It is a simple, sensitive, and selective method for Pb(2+) detection. Moreover, this sensing system obtained satisfying results for Pb(2+) detection in tap water samples.     

Novel fluorescent chemosensor for Ag^ ＋ based on coumarin fluorophore

A novel chemosensor 1 （CS1） bearing one coumarin and two carbodithioate groups was synthesized and its fluorescent sensing behavior toward metal ions was investigated. Ag^＋ addition to a CH3COCH3/H2O （3：7, v：v） solution of CS1 gave a significantly quenched fluorescence.

This constitutes an ON-OFF Ag^＋-selective fluorescent chemosensor.

Metal-dependent global folding and activity of the 8-17 DNAzyme studied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer

The 8-17 DNAzyme is a DNA metalloenzyme catalyzing RNA transesterification in the presence of divalent metal ions, with activity following the order Pb2+ > Zn2+ >Mg2+. Since the DNAzyme has been used as a metal ion sensor, its metal-induced global folding was studied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) by labeling the three stems of the DNAzyme with the Cy3/Cy5 FRET pair two stems at a time in order to gain deeper insight into the role of different metal ions in its structure and function. FRET results indicated that, in the presence of Zn2+ and Mg2+, the DNAzyme folds into a compact structure, stem III approaching a configuration defined by stems I and II without changing the angle between stems I and II. Correlations between metal-induced folding and activity were also studied. For Zn2+ and Mg2+, the metal ion with higher affinity for the DNAzyme in global folding (Kd(Zn) = 52.6 microM and Kd(Mg) = 1.36 mM) also displays higher affinity in activity (Kd(Zn) = 1.15 mM and Kd(Mg) = 53 mM) under the same conditions. Global folding was saturated at much lower concentrations of Zn2+ and Mg2+ than the cleavage activities, indicating the global folding of the DNAzyme occurs before the cleavage activity for those metal ions. Surprisingly, no Pb2+-dependent global folding was observed. These results suggest that for Pb2+ global folding of the DNAzyme may not be a necessary step in its function, which may contribute to the DNAzyme having the highest activity in the presence of Pb2+.     

"Turn-on" fluorescent sensor for Hg2+ via displacement approach

A new Cu2+ compound Cu- NB, (where H2 NB is bis(2-hydroxyl-naphthalene-carboxaldehyde) benzil dihydrazone) was synthesized as a highly selective fluorescence chemosensor for the detection of Hg2+ in aqueous media through a displacement "turn-on" signaling strategy. Whereas the coordination of Cu2+ resulted in a considerable quenching of the typical luminescence of the naphthol rings in Cu-NB, the addition of Hg2+ ion led to a dramatic increase in the emission intensity of Cu-NB at about 530 nm (excitation at 430 nm). The competitive fluorescent experiments showed that alkali, alkaline earth metal ions, the group 12 metals Zn2+, Cd2+, the first-row transition-metal ions such as Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, and Ni2+, as well as Pb2+ could not inhibit the Hg2+-binding fluorescent enhancement. It is postulated that the existence of Cu2+ in the luminescent probe Cu-NB could turn away the interferences of other metal cations from Hg2+ detection. The optical responses of the free ligand upon addition of Cu2+ ion, and of the Hg-H2NB compound upon the addition of Cu2+ were also investigated for comparisons.     

Acid-base and metal-ion binding properties of the RNA dinucleotide uridylyl-(5'-->3')-[5']uridylate (pUpU3-)

It is well known that Mg2+ and other divalent metal ions bind to the phosphate groups of nucleic acids. Subtle differences in the coordination properties of these metal ions to RNA, especially to ribozymes, determine whether they either promote or inhibit catalytic activity. The ability of metal ions to coordinate simultaneously with two neighboring phosphate groups is important for ribozyme structure and activity. However, such an interaction has not yet been quantified. Here, we have performed potentiometric pH titrations to determine the acidity constants of the protonated dinucleotide H2(pUpU)-, as well as the binding properties of pUpU3- towards Mg2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and Pb2+. Whereas Mg2+, Mn2+, and Cd2+ only bind to the more basic 5'-terminal phosphate group, Pb2+, and to a certain extent also Zn2+, show a remarkably enhanced stability of the [M(pUpU)]- complex. This can be attributed to the formation of a macrochelate by bridging the two phosphate groups within this dinucleotide by these metal ions. Such a macrochelate is also possible in an oligonucleotide, because the basic structural units are the same, despite the difference in charge. The formation degrees of the macrochelated species of [Zn(pUpU)]- and [Pb(pUpU)]- amount to around 25 and 90 %, respectively. These findings are important in the context of ribozyme and DNAzyme catalysis, and explain, for example, why the leadzyme could be selected in the first place, and why this artificial ribozyme is inhibited by other divalent metal ions, such as Mg2+.     

DNAzyme-based fluorescent microarray for highly selective and sensitive detection of lead(II)

A facile microarray-based fluorescent sensor for the detection of lead (II) was developed based on the catalytic cleavages of the substrates by a DNAzyme upon its binding to Pb(2+). The release of the fluorophore labelled substrates resulted in the decrease of fluorescence intensity. The sensor had a quantifiable detection range from 1 nM to 1 μM and a selectivity of >20 fold for Pb(2+) over other metal ions.
