Utilisation of enzymatic labelling with 4-aminophtalimide and 4-hydroxybenzylideneimidazolinone fluorescent derivates for monitoring of DNA-protein interaction
Orság, Petr ; Pivoňková, Hana ; Riedl, Jan ; Hocek, Michal ; Fojta, Miroslav
The 5’-substituted deoxycytosine triphosphates with conjugated solvatochromic derivates of 4-aminophtalimide (API) and derivates of the green fluorescent protein, 4-hydroxybenzylideneimidazolinone (HBI) were synthetized and successfully tested for enzymatic incorporation using primer extension assay. Site specifically labelled oligonucleotide probes were prepared and tested for interaction with p53 and SSB proteins, displaying distinct DNA-binding properties. The incorporation of multiple fluorescent labels did not interfere with natural protein binding and protein interaction leaded in both cases the to the gradual ratiometric increase of the fluorescence intensity moreover accompanied with the changes of the fluorescence emission spectra profile. Neither effect was observed after incubation with BSA, non-DNA binding protein, confirming the specificity of the interaction. Modified nucleoside triphosphates with conjugated fluorescence labels derivates of API and HBI can be used as substrates for preparation of the specific oligonucleotide labelled probes and provide the novel tool for studying and monitoring the DNA-protein interaction.

Labelling of DNA with electrochemically active moieties proved to be a convenient way to the development of electrochemical techniques for the sequence-specific DNA sensing. Through combinations of various labels differing in redox potentials, independent redox coding of different DNA sequences or individual nucleobases can be attained. Applications possibilities of electrochemistry in analysis of modified DNAs are further extended by facile monitoring of chemical conversion of reactive groups on DNA during post-labelling with ultimate redox labels. In addition, controlled in situ electrochemical conversions of specific intrinsic and extrinsic DNA components can be utilized to switch their electrochemical signals and improve signal resolution.
