Remote Sensing Technology
Observation and acquisition of physical data from a distance by viewing and making measurements from a distance or receiving transmitted data from observations made at distant location.
Signal Transduction
The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen
Nuclear antigen with a role in DNA synthesis, DNA repair, and cell cycle progression. PCNA is required for the coordinated synthesis of both leading and lagging strands at the replication fork during DNA replication. PCNA expression correlates with the proliferation activity of several malignant and non-malignant cell types.
DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase
DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.

DNA Replication
The process by which a DNA molecule is duplicated.
DNA Damage
Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS.

The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
Ubiquitin
A highly conserved 76-amino acid peptide universally found in eukaryotic cells that functions as a marker for intracellular PROTEIN TRANSPORT and degradation. Ubiquitin becomes activated through a series of complicated steps and forms an isopeptide bond to lysine residues of specific proteins within the cell. These "ubiquitinated" proteins can be recognized and degraded by proteosomes or be transported to specific compartments within the cell.

Application of locked nucleic acids to improve aptamer in vivo stability and targeting function. (1/893)

Aptamers are powerful candidates for molecular imaging applications due to a number of attractive features, including rapid blood clearance and tumor penetration. We carried out structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies with the Tenascin-C binding aptamer TTA1, which is a promising candidate for application in tumor imaging with radioisotopes. The aim was to improve its in vivo stability and target binding. We investigated the effect of thermal stabilization of the presumed non-binding double-stranded stem region on binding affinity and resistance against nucleolytic degradation. To achieve maximal thermal stem stabilization melting experiments with model hexanucleotide duplexes consisting of unmodified RNA, 2'-O-methyl RNA (2'-OMe), 2'-Fluoro RNA (2'-F) or Locked Nucleic Acids (LNAs) were initially carried out. Extremely high melting temperatures have been found for an LNA/LNA duplex. TTA1 derivatives with LNA and 2'-OMe modifications within the non-binding stem have subsequently been synthesized. Especially, the LNA-modified TTA1 derivative exhibited significant stem stabilization and markedly improved plasma stability while maintaining its binding affinity to the target. In addition, higher tumor uptake and longer blood retention was found in tumor-bearing nude mice. Thus, our strategy to introduce LNA modifications after the selection procedure is likely to be generally applicable to improve the in vivo stability of aptamers without compromising their binding properties.  (+info)

Optical absorption assay for strand-exchange reactions in unlabeled nucleic acids. (2/893)

The nucleic acid exchange reaction is a common feature for genetic recombination, DNA replication and transcription. Due to the fact that in the strand-exchange reactions the reactant and product molecules have similar or identical nucleotide sequences, the reaction is undetectable. As a rule, the nucleic acids with radioactive or fluorescence labels are used in such studies. Besides the fact that the labels can perturb the reaction and pose a health risk to the investigators, the assays usually involve extra experimental steps: quenching the reaction, separation, visualization and quantification of the products. Here, we describe a straightforward, direct and precise method to study strand-exchange reaction of unlabeled nucleic acids by real-time measurements of optical absorption. The method takes advantage of the property of some guanine-rich oligonucleotides to adopt monomolecular quadruplex conformation in the presence of certain cations. The conformation is characterized by significant absorption in long-wavelength range of the ultraviolet region where usually other secondary structures are transparent. The 'signal' oligonucleotide is incorporated into reactant duplex by annealing with target sequence. Adding the replacement sequence initiates the release of the 'signal' oligonucleotide into solution, which is accompanied by ultraviolet absorption in long-wavelength range.  (+info)

Pegaptanib for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. (3/893)

BACKGROUND: Pegaptanib, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, was evaluated in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration. METHODS: We conducted two concurrent, prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, dose-ranging, controlled clinical trials using broad entry criteria. Intravitreous injection into one eye per patient of pegaptanib (at a dose of 0.3 mg, 1.0 mg, or 3.0 mg) or sham injections were administered every 6 weeks over a period of 48 weeks. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who had lost fewer than 15 letters of visual acuity at 54 weeks. RESULTS: In the combined analysis of the primary end point (for a total of 1186 patients), efficacy was demonstrated, without a dose-response relationship, for all three doses of pegaptanib (P<0.001 for the comparison of 0.3 mg with sham injection; P<0.001 for the comparison of 1.0 mg with sham injection; and P=0.03 for the comparison of 3.0 mg with sham injection). In the group given pegaptanib at 0.3 mg, 70 percent of patients lost fewer than 15 letters of visual acuity, as compared with 55 percent among the controls (P<0.001). The risk of severe loss of visual acuity (loss of 30 letters or more) was reduced from 22 percent in the sham-injection group to 10 percent in the group receiving 0.3 mg of pegaptanib (P<0.001). More patients receiving pegaptanib (0.3 mg), as compared with sham injection, maintained their visual acuity or gained acuity (33 percent vs. 23 percent; P=0.003). As early as six weeks after beginning therapy with the study drug, and at all subsequent points, the mean visual acuity among patients receiving 0.3 mg of pegaptanib was better than in those receiving sham injections (P<0.002). Among the adverse events that occurred, endophthalmitis (in 1.3 percent of patients), traumatic injury to the lens (in 0.7 percent), and retinal detachment (in 0.6 percent) were the most serious and required vigilance. These events were associated with a severe loss of visual acuity in 0.1 percent of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Pegaptanib appears to be an effective therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Its long-term safety is not known.  (+info)

NMR structures of double loops of an RNA aptamer against mammalian initiation factor 4A. (4/893)

A high affinity RNA aptamer (APT58, 58 nt long) against mammalian initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) requires nearly its entire nucleotide sequence for efficient binding. Since splitting either APT58 or eIF4A into two domains diminishes the affinity for each other, it is suggested that multiple interactions or a global interaction between the two molecules accounts for the high affinity. To understand the structural basis of APT58's global recognition of eIF4A, we determined the solution structure of two essential nucleotide loops (AUCGCA and ACAUAGA) within the aptamer using NMR spectroscopy. The AUCGCA loop is stabilized by a U-turn motif and contains a non-canonical A:A base pair (the single hydrogen bond mismatch: Hoogsteen/Sugar-edge). On the other hand, the ACAUAGA loop is stabilized by an AUA tri-nucleotide loop motif and contains the other type of A:A base pair (single hydrogen bond mismatch: Watson-Crick/Watson-Crick). Considering the known structural and functional properties of APT58, we propose that the AUCGCA loop is directly involved in the interaction with eIF4A, while the flexibility of the ACAUAGA loop is important to support this interaction. The Watson-Crick edges of C7 and C9 in the AUCGCA loop may directly interact with eIF4A.  (+info)

Development of an automated in vitro selection protocol to obtain RNA-based aptamers: identification of a biostable substance P antagonist. (5/893)

We have developed an automated SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential Enrichment) process that allows the execution of in vitro selection cycles without any direct manual intervention steps. The automated selection protocol is designed to provide for high flexibility and versatility in terms of choice of buffers and reagents as well as stringency of selection conditions. Employing the automated SELEX process, we have identified RNA aptamers to the mirror-image configuration (d-peptide) of substance P. The peptide substance P belongs to the tachykinin family and exerts various biologically important functions, such as peripheral vasodilation, smooth muscle contraction and pain transmission. The aptamer that was identified most frequently was truncated to the 44mer SUP-A-004. The mirror-image configuration of SUP-A-004, the so-called Spiegelmer, has been shown to bind to naturally occurring l-substance P displaying a K(d) of 40 nM and to inhibit (IC50 of 45 nM) l-substance P-mediated Ca2+ release in a cell culture assay.  (+info)

Proximity extension of circular DNA aptamers with real-time protein detection. (6/893)

Multivalent circular aptamers or 'captamers' have recently been introduced through the merger of aptameric recognition functions with the basic principles of DNA nanotechnology. Aptamers have strong utility as protein-binding motifs for diagnostic applications, where their ease of discovery, thermal stability and low cost make them ideal components for incorporation into targeted protein assays. Here we report upon a property specific to circular DNA aptamers: their intrinsic compatibility with a highly sensitive protein detection method termed the 'proximity extension' assay. The circular DNA architecture facilitates the integration of multiple functional elements into a single molecule: aptameric target recognition, nucleic acid hybridization specificity and rolling circle amplification. Successful exploitation of these properties is demonstrated for the molecular analysis of thrombin, with the assay delivering a detection limit nearly three orders of magnitude below the dissociation constants of the two contributing aptamer-thrombin interactions. Real-time signal amplification and detection under isothermal conditions points towards potential clinical applications, with both fluorescent and bioelectronic methods of detection achieved. This application elaborates the pleiotropic properties of circular DNA aptamers beyond the stability, potency and multitargeting characteristics described earlier.  (+info)

Vertebrate telomere repeat DNAs favor external loop propeller quadruplex structures in the presence of high concentrations of potassium. (7/893)

The circular dichroism, CD, spectra of the telomere repeats of vertebrates, d(TTAGGG), indicate that parallel type quadruplex structures or disordered single-stranded structures are formed in low salt. Anti-parallel quadruplex structures are favored in the presence of high concentrations, 140 mM, of sodium. External loop, also known as propeller, parallel type structures are favored in the presence of high concentrations, 100 mM, of potassium in the presence of either 5 or 140 mM sodium. The cation dependence of the CD spectra of the vertebrate telomere repeat DNAs is distinctly different from that of the telomere repeats of Tetrahymena and Oxytricha as well as that of the thrombin binding aptamer. These results indicate that the external loop structures may be present in vertebrate telomeres under the conditions of high potassium and low sodium concentration found in nuclei.  (+info)

Structural characterization of an anti-gp120 RNA aptamer that neutralizes R5 strains of HIV-1. (8/893)

We recently described the isolation of 2'-fluoropyrimidine-substituted RNA aptamers that bind specifically to the surface glycoprotein (gp 120) of the R5 strain, HIV-1(Ba-L), as presented in a previous study. These aptamers potently neutralize HIV-1 infectivity in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells of both tissue culture lab-adapted strains and diverse R5 clinical isolates from multiple clades. Here, we report a detailed structural characterization of one such neutralizing aptamer, B40, using enzymatic and chemical probing methods. We identify the minimal region of the aptamer essential for binding gp120 and accordingly design a 77-nucleotide truncated aptamer, B40t77. We then quantitatively analyze the binding affinity and neutralization potency of the parental and truncated (minimal) aptamer, and show them to be comparable. Furthermore, using results from secondary structure analysis, RNA mutagenesis and BIAcore surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding assays, we hypothesize that a folded RNA structure is required to present specific nucleotide sequences to allow gp120-recognition and binding. The information gained from this study may provide leads for development of novel anti-HIV-1 therapies and can be used to extend our understanding of the molecular interactions between the virus and its host cell.  (+info)

Nucleic acid aptamers against biotoxins: A new paradigm toward the treatment and diagnostic approach - Murdoch Research...Nucleic acid aptamers against biotoxins: A new paradigm toward the treatment and diagnostic approach - Murdoch Research...
Nucleic acid aptamers are short single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind to their targets with very high affinity and specificity, and are generally selected by a process referred to as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. Conventional antibody-based therapeutic and diagnostic approach currently employed against biotoxins pose major limitations such as the requirement of a live animal for the in vivo enrichment of the antibody species, decreased stability, high production cost, and side effects. Aptamer technology is a viable alternative that can be used to combat these problems. Fully sequestered in vitro, aptamers eliminate the need for a living host. Furthermore, one of the key advantages of using aptamers instead of antibodies is that they can be selected against very weakly immunogenic and cytotoxic substances. In this review, we focus on nucleic acid aptamers developed against various biotoxins of plant, microorganism, or animal origin and show how ...

The minimal primary structures of RNA aptamers selected to bind HIV-1 reverse transcriptaseThe minimal primary structures of RNA aptamers selected to bind HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) is the most common molecular target of current HIV treatments. Oligonucleotide aptamers bind and inhibit the RNA- and DNA-dependent polymerization activities of HIV RT. Libraries consisting of aptamers including 32, 70 or 80 nucleotide variable regions were previously screened by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) against RT. Roughly half of the resulting aptamers were represented by pseudoknots with well defined signature sequences (the Family I), but also additional pseudoknots with little sequence convergence (Family II), and non-pseudoknot aptamers (Family III). Nucleic acid aptamers bind RT in the primer/template binding site. Aptamers are generally non-toxic and non-immunogenic molecules making them enticing drug prospects. Many aptamers inhibit DNA dependent DNA polymerization by RT from several phenotypically different recombinant viruses, but inhibition depends on a single amino acid mutation at ...

Anti-thrombin aptamers - WikipediaAnti-thrombin aptamers - Wikipedia
Anti-thrombin aptamers are G-quadruplex-bearing oligonucleotides, which recognizes the exosites of human thrombin. The first anti-thrombin aptamer, TBA, was generated through via SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) technology in 1992 by L.C. Bock, J.J. Toole and colleagues. A second thrombin-binding aptamer, HD22, recognizes thrombin exosite II and was discovered in 1997 by NeXstar (now Gilead Sciences). These two aptamers have high affinity and good specificity and have been widely studied and used for the development of aptamer-based therapeutics and diagnostics. The aptamer TBA (also known as G15D, HTQ, HD1 or ARC183) is a 15-mer single-stranded DNA with the sequence 5-GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG-3. It interacts with the exosite I of human alpha-thrombin, which is the binding site of fibrinogen, so this aptamer acts as an anti-coagulant agent inhibiting the activation of fibrinogen as well as platelet aggregation. In addition, TBA shows good affinity and specificity ...

The demand has increased for sophisticated molecular tools with improved detection limits. Such molecules should be simple in structure, yet stable enough for clinical applications. Nucleic acid aptamers (NAAs) represent a class of molecules able to meet this demand. In particular, aptamers, a class of small nucleic acid ligands that are composed of single-stranded modified/unmodified RNA/DNA molecules, can be evolved from a complex library using Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) against almost any molecule. Since its introduction in 1990, in stages, SELEX technology has itself undergone several modifications, improving selection and broadening the repertoire of targets. This review summarizes these milestones that have pushed the field forward, allowing researchers to generate aptamers that can potentially be applied as therapeutic and diagnostic agents.

An L-ribonucleic acid aptamer (L-RNA aptamer, trade name Spiegelmer - from German Spiegel mirror - by Noxxon Pharma) is an RNA-like molecule built from L-ribose units. It is an artificial oligonucleotide named for being a mirror image of natural oligonucleotides. L-RNA aptamers are a form of aptamers. Due to their L-nucleotides, they are highly resistant to degradation by nucleases. Spiegelmers are considered potential drugs and are currently being tested in clinical trials. Spiegelmers, built using L-ribose, are the enantiomers of natural oligonucleotides, which are made with D-ribose. Nucleic acid aptamers, including L-RNA aptamers, contain adenosine monophosphate, guanosine monophosphate, cytidine monophosphate, uridine monophosphate, a phosphate group, a nucleobase and a ribose sugar. Like other aptamers, L-RNA aptamers are able to bind molecules such as peptides, proteins, and substances of low molecular weight. The affinity of L-RNA aptamers to their target molecules often lies in the ...

After three decades, the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a global pandemic. It has been difficult to develop therapeutic agents and vaccines against HIV due partly to the virus s ability to mutate rapidly. As a result, there is a constant need to develop new therapeutic agents that target HIV-1. This research seeks to develop an RNA aptamer that would bind tightly to the Pre-Hairpin Intermediate state of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp41 to inhibit viral fusion. The project targets the envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1, gp41, with nucleic acid aptamers. Aptamers are selected from random pools (libraries) by an in vitro selection called Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). The aptamers go through rounds of selection, where the weak binders will be washed off in each round. Once these aptamers are developed, they will be tested for their ability to prevent viral membrane fusion, and their potential use in HIV therapeutics. ...

Aptamers are nucleic acid-based ligands identified through a process of molecular evolution named SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment). During the last 10-15 years, numerous aptamers have been developed specifically against targets present on or associated with the surface of human cells or infectious pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. Several of the aptamers have been described as potent probes, rivalling antibodies, for use in flow cytometry or microscopy. Some have also been used as drugs by inhibiting or activating functions of their targets in a manner similar to neutralizing or agonistic antibodies. Additionally, it is straightforward to conjugate aptamers to other agents without losing their affinity and they have successfully been used in vitro and in vivo to deliver drugs, siRNA, nanoparticles or contrast agents to target cells. Hence, aptamers identified against cell surface biomarkers represent a promising class of ligands. This review

Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides isolated via in vitro systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX),1,2 which can specifically bind to a wide range of targets including proteins, small molecules and metal ions.3 Aptamers offer several advantages as recognition elements for biosensor applications relative to antibodies. First, aptamers can be chemically synthesized with high reproducibility at relatively low cost.4,5 Second, the high chemical stability of DNA aptamers means that they can be used under harsher conditions and stored with a longer shelf life.6 Finally, it is possible to generate unstructured aptamers that form specific secondary structures such as three-way junctions7,8 or tertiary folds such as G-quadruplex structures9,10 upon target binding. Such target-induced conformational changes can be readily exploited for specific target detection in a variety of applications, including medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and drug screening.11-13 ...

Background: RNA aptamers are small RNA molecules that bind antigens like antibodies and are currently being explored as alternatives to antibodies for diagnosis and therapy. A potential merit of aptamers is that they can be generated against native cellular antigens, such as those with unique post-translational modifications or receptor-ligand complexes, for which antibody generation can be difficult. Here, we report the use of a cell-based systematic enrichment approach (SELEX) to develop a novel Treg-binding RNA aptamer specific to IL2Rα-IL2 receptor-ligand complex.. Methods and Results:. A. Generation of Treg-binding aptamers:. We designed a cell-based SELEX strategy to generate RNA aptamers specific to human T regulatory (Treg) cells. The starting library consisted of random RNA aptamers with a structural diversity of ~1012. Aptamers against common T cell antigens were pre-cleared using CD4+CD25- Teff cells. Treg-binding aptamers were then positively selected using CD4+CD25+ Tregs from the ...

and / or polyclonal antibodies specific to a particular target for capture and / or quantitative detection. Most ELISAs employ a 96-well plate-based format. ELISAs are currently used in a wide range of industries, with wide-spread application for the detection of protein biomarkers in research, diagnostics and therapeutics. While antibody-based immunoassays have proven to be very sensitive and specific, there are some limitations which can be overcome with the ELASA, or Enzyme-Linked Aptamer Sorbent Assay. Unlike antibodies, aptamers can be selected for specific binding to poorly immunogenic and toxic compounds. Aptamers can also distinguish between highly conserved molecules. Chemical aptamer synthesis enables rapid, low-cost production of new batches with low lot-to-lot variability. As with traditional ELISAs, ELASAs can be direct, indirect, and sandwich assays. Several sandwich ELASA assays have been developed at Base Pair Biotechnologies. Biotinylated capture aptamers are typically bound to ...

The functionality of aptamers is similar to that of antibodies. Aptamer are selected for specific target molecules by an in vitro selection and amplification method called SELEX. They can recognise and bind their targets with high affinity and specificity. As single-stranded oligonucleotides, aptamers are able to fold into complex and stable three-dimensional structures, which allow them to specifically interact with their targets. Aptamers are receiving increasing attention as alternative affinity reagents and represent essential tools in both basic and applied research. Aptamers can be used to detect and characterise their targets but also to modify the activity of their targets. Therefore, they provide a broad range of applications, e.g., affinity enrichment, analytics, medical diagnostics, or therapy.. Research focuses ...

Non-SELEX: selection of aptamers without intermediate amplification of candidate oligonucleotides | Nature ProtocolsNon-SELEX: selection of aptamers without intermediate amplification of candidate oligonucleotides | Nature Protocols
Aptamers are typically selected from libraries of random DNA (or RNA) sequences through systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), which involves several rounds of alternating steps of partitioning of candidate oligonucleotides and their PCR amplification. Here we describe a protocol for non-SELEX selection of aptamers - a process that involves repetitive steps of partitioning with no amplification between them. Non-equilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (NECEEM), which is a highly efficient affinity method, is used for partitioning. NECEEM also facilitates monitoring of bulk affinity of enriched libraries at every step of partitioning and screening of individual clones for their affinity to the target. NECEEM allows all clones to be screened prior to sequencing, so that only clones with suitable binding parameters are sequenced. The entire protocol can be completed in 1 wk, whereas conventional SELEX protocols take several weeks even in a specialized

Infectious diseases are a subject of public health safety. In case of events such as bioterrorism or food samples tainted with a disease causing bacteria or virus the standard traditional methods of detection of viral or bacterial detection are too slow. We have developed molecular probes known as ?aptamers? to detect infection with high specificity and sensitivity. Aptamer, a word derived from Latin ?aptus? meaning ?to fit?; are molecular probes which are generated using nucleic acids which recognize and bind their target with a very high affinity and specificity. Aptamers are evolved in vitro in a test tube for its target. Aptamers are generated using a screening process known an SELEX, which stands for Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment. A library of 10 14 to 10 16 unique sequences is synthesized. These sequences are fractionated based on interactions with the target for which the aptamer is generated. The weaker binding sequences are weeded out after each successive ...

We have recently described the isolation of 2-fluoropyrimidine-substituted RNA aptamers that bind selectively to disease-associated beta-sheet-rich forms of the prion protein, PrP, from a number of mammalian species. These aptamers inhibit the accumulation of protease-resistant forms of PrP in a prion-seeded, in vitro conversion assay. Here we identify the minimal portions of two of these aptamers that retain binding specificity. We determine their secondary structures by a combination of modeling and solution probing. Finally, we identify an internal site for biotinylation of a minimized, synthetic aptamer and use the resultant reagent in the detection of abnormal forms of PrP in vitro.

Membrane Accelerator and Membrane Rudder are both post-translational controlling device to regulate metabolic flux of the host cell. To connect this relatively isolated post-translational control system to genetic circuits, we employed RNA signal, which is present in cytoplasm. Rationally designed RNA D0 with MS2 and PP7 aptamer domain is recruited. When RNA molecule with this two aptamer domains is present in cells, their cognate aptamer binding proteins can thus aggregate together. Furthermore, if we place RNA D0 (with PP7 and MS2 aptamer domains) under various promoters regulated by different signals, approaches to induce dimerization would be expanded sharply. Thus, Membrane Rudder could sense much more signals. We constructed our device as demonstrated in Fig.3. In RNA-sensing Membrane Rudder, VioA, VioB, VioE and VioC with interacting Membrane Anchors constitutively aggregate. RNA D0, can aggregate with RNA aptamer binding protein MS2 and PP7.

The assays, which can be performed in parallel, were developed in a microfluidic device and tested for the detection of free Prostate Specific Antigen (fPSA). A secondary antibody (Aptamer-Antibody Assay) or a lectin (Aptamer-Lectin Assay) is used to quantify, by chemiluminescence, both the amount of fPSA and its glycosylation levels. The use of aptamers enables a more reliable, selective and controlled sensing of the analyte. The dual approach provides sensitive detection of fPSA along with selective fPSA ...

We report a highly sensitive detection of Escherichia coli by taking advantage of the aptamer amplification as well as the specific binding of aptamers onto E. coli. This unique approach consists of three steps. First, the target E. coli was captured by antibody-conjugated magnetic beads. Second, the RNA aptamers were bound onto the surface of captured E. coli in a sandwich way. Finally, the heat-released aptamers were amplified by using real-time reverse-transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR). The aptamer amplification in this ...

摘要：A simple approach based on exfoliating and disintegrating treatments for graphite oxide, followed by hydrothermal synthesis, was developed to prepare water-soluble graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The as-prepared GQDs exhibited bright blue emission under ultraviolet irradiation (similar to 365 nm), and showed an excitation-independent photoluminescence feature. More importantly, a newly anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was observed from the water-soluble GQDs with H2O2 as coreactant for the first time, and the ECL induced a strong light emission at a low potential (ca. 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The ECL mechanism is investigated in detail. Employing SiO2 nanospheres as signal carrier, a novel SiO2/GQDs ECL signal amplification labels were synthesized based on which a ultrasensitive ECL aptamer sensor was proposed. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the proposed ECL aptamer sensor exhibited excellent analytical performance for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) determination, ranging from ...

There is currently an urgent need for biomarkers that can be used to monitor the efficacy of experimental therapies for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in clinical trials. Identification of novel protein biomarkers has been limited due to the massive complexity of the serum proteome and the presence of a small number of very highly abundant proteins. Here we have utilised an aptamer-based proteomics approach to profile 1,129 proteins in the serum of wild-type and mdx (dystrophin deficient) mice. The serum levels of 96 proteins were found to be significantly altered (P | 0.001, q | 0.01) in mdx mice. Additionally, systemic treatment with a peptide-antisense oligonucleotide conjugate designed to induce Dmd exon skipping and recover dystrophin protein expression caused many of the differentially abundant serum proteins to be restored towards wild-type levels. Results for five leading candidate protein biomarkers (Pgam1, Tnni3, Camk2b, Cycs and Adamts5) were validated by ELISA in the mouse samples.

Some bioterrorism agents cause disease at very low infective doses and their presence can be masked by the environment. Therefore, ultrasensitive detection is required for homeland defense applications. In this Phase I research project, Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech) proposes to couple DNA aptamers made by the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) process to commercially available fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs, composed of chelated europium in polystyrene). OpTech will demonstrate aptamer-NP-mediated detection of a bacterial, viral, and toxin simulant at low levels. Fluorescent NPs are nanometer-sized plastic and metallic ¿beads¿ that endow superior sensitivity in clinical assays (up to zeptomolar [10-21] detection limits).

Carbon Nanodot Aptamer Assay - Analyst BlogCarbon Nanodot Aptamer Assay - Analyst Blog
Trying to incorporate quantum dots into biological systems has proven difficult due to their lack of biocompatibility and the toxicity of heavy metals inside cells. Recently developed carbon nanodots retain the advantages of quantum dots, but can function in biological media. Xianogang Qu and researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences incorporated carbon nanodots in a thrombin detection assay using DNA aptamers. Thrombin contains two binding sites that are recognized by different aptamers on both a silica nanoparticle and carbon nanodot. The multi-binding site capabilities of aptamers allow for greater sensitivity when compared to single site antibodies, and the fluorescent signal of the carbon nanodot is only detected when bound to thrombin on the silica nanoparticle.

Data accumulated over the latest two decades have established that the serine protease urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a potential therapeutic target in cancer. When designing inhibitors of the proteolytic activity of serine proteases, obtaining sufficient specificity is problematic, because the topology of the proteases active sites are highly similar. In an effort to generate highly specific uPA inhibitors with new inhibitory modalities, we isolated uPA-binding RNA aptamers by screening a library of 35 nucleotides long 2′-fluoro-pyrimidine RNA molecules using a version of human pro-uPA lacking the epidermal growth factor-like and kringle domains as bait. One pro-uPA-binding aptamer sequence, referred to as upanap-126, proved to be highly specific for human uPA. Upanap-126 delayed the proteolytic conversion of human pro-uPA to active uPA, but did not inhibit plasminogen activation catalyzed by two-chain uPA. The aptamer also inhibited the binding of pro-uPA to uPAR and the ...

2. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com.ezp1.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/fulltext/110526995/PDFSTART This paper is also talking about how protein arrays can be self-assembled using DNA nanostructures in the shape of a lattice. The biotin-streptavidin interaction provides only one type of protein-ligand interaction; while it is possible to fuse other proteins with streptavidin, this process is both complicated and may affect the functionality of the proteins themselves during the process. They then introduce aptamers, which are DNA or RNA molecules that have the ability to bind to other molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, organic compounds, and organisms. There are a wide range of aptamers suited to a variety of proteins that guarantee specificity and high affinity. This method has three components: the DNA lattice nanostructure, a DNA-docking site with the aptamer sequence that will bind the protein of interest to the nanostructure, and the protein itself. In the paper, they use the ...

Intra-Accumbens Injection of a Dopamine Aptamer Abates MK-801-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction in a Model of SchizophreniaIntra-Accumbens Injection of a Dopamine Aptamer Abates MK-801-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction in a Model of Schizophrenia
Systemic administration of the noncompetitive NMDA-receptor antagonist, MK-801, has been proposed to model cognitive deficits similar to those seen in patients with schizophrenia. The present work investigated the ability of a dopamine-binding DNA aptamer to regulate these MK-801-induced cognitive deficits when injected into the nucleus accumbens. Rats were trained to bar press for chocolate pellet rewards then randomly assigned to receive an intra-accumbens injection of a DNA aptamer (200 nM; n = 7), tris buffer (n = 6) or a randomized DNA oligonucleotide (n = 7). Animals were then treated systemically with MK-801 (0.1 mg/kg) and tested for their ability to extinguish their bar pressing response. Two control groups were also included that did not receive MK-801. Data revealed that injection of Tris buffer or the random oligonucleotide sequence into the nucleus accumbens prior to treatment with MK-801 did not reduce the MK-801-induced extinction deficit. Animals continued to press at a high rate over

PLOS ONE: Monitoring Genomic Sequences during SELEX Using High-Throughput Sequencing: Neutral SELEXPLOS ONE: Monitoring Genomic Sequences during SELEX Using High-Throughput Sequencing: Neutral SELEX
Background SELEX is a well established in vitro selection tool to analyze the structure of ligand-binding nucleic acid sequences called aptamers. Genomic SELEX transforms SELEX into a tool to discover novel, genomically encoded RNA or DNA sequences binding a ligand of interest, called genomic aptamers. Concerns have been raised regarding requirements imposed on RNA sequences undergoing SELEX selection. Methodology/Principal Findings To evaluate SELEX and assess the extent of these effects, we designed and performed a Neutral SELEX experiment omitting the selection step, such that the sequences are under the sole selective pressure of SELEXs amplification steps. Using high-throughput sequencing, we obtained thousands of full-length sequences from the initial genomic library and the pools after each of the 10 rounds of Neutral SELEX. We compared these to sequences obtained from a Genomic SELEX experiment deriving from the same initial library, but screening for RNAs binding with high affinity to the E.

Discrete Dynamical Systems in Multiple Target and Alternate SELEX by Howard A. Levine and Yeon-Jung SeoDiscrete Dynamical Systems in Multiple Target and Alternate SELEX by Howard A. Levine and Yeon-Jung Seo
Dynamical systems are often used to model biochemical and biological processes. In Seo et al. (2010, 2014) we studied two mathematical models of the iterative biochemical procedure known as SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential Enrichment): multiple target SELEX and alternate SELEX. It is the purpose of this paper to revisit the mathematics of these processes in the language of dynamical systems on compact manifolds but for a dynamical system on a manifold with compact closure. From the experimentalists point of view, multiple target SELEX provides a way of obtaining the best binding ligands to a pool of several fixed targets, whereas alternate SELEX provides a way to specify which of the best binding ligands also bind best to a specified subtarget. Because these procedures are iterative, it is natural to investigate them in the context of the theory of discrete dynamical systems. Although the iterative schemes are nonautonomous, they have the same limiting properties as two closely

Lirias: Label-free monitoring of protein-DNA interactions using fluorescent silver nanoclustersLirias: Label-free monitoring of protein-DNA interactions using fluorescent silver nanoclusters
AgNCs are complexes between few Ag atoms and a specific DNA sequence template to stabilize the clusters. In most cases, AgNCs are synthesized either at the 3 or 5 end of the template. Our results show that AgNCs can successfully be generated from a template embedded in the middle of a hybridization probe, used for the isothermal amplification of aptamers, called rolling circle amplification (RCA). RCA uses circular oligonucleotide probes to generate long, ssDNA molecules containing periodic repeats of the circular probe.[4][5] Previous works show that overexpression of aptamers by RCA increases target binding efficiency compared to monovalent aptamers.[6] The RCA concatemer combines both the aptamer and the fluorescent AgNC template. Subsequently synthetized AgNCs exhibit strong, robust and tunable fluorescence, eliminating the need for labeling.[7] Importantly, it has been shown that aptamer-AgNCs retain the same specificity and affinity for the cognate protein and that target binding results ...

Versatile probes for Flow Cytometry and FACS - Aptamer GroupVersatile probes for Flow Cytometry and FACS - Aptamer Group
Flow cytometry has gained popularity and demand in the field of biology because of its accurate analysis and high throughput. The use of multiple lasers, affinity ligands and attached fluorophores allows simultaneous analysis of several markers expressed on thousands of cells per second (Figure 1). Some of the most widely used applications include drug testing, microbiological analysis of bacteria and viruses, cell phenotyping, stem cell research and most importantly detecting cancer cells. Aptamers compete with antibodies in many such applications, in which high-affinity and specificity ligands are needed. Moreover, low specificity and inconsistent labelling of antibodies may lead to significant loss of function and reliability in detecting the target of interest. In this regard, fluorescence-tagged aptamers have shown increased use in flow and imaging cytometry for detecting cells expressing distinct antigens.. ...

Riboswitches and their genetic and molecular significance in living organisms - Microbiology ClassRiboswitches and their genetic and molecular significance in living organisms - Microbiology Class
Riboswitches are defined as RNA domains at the 5-ends of mRNA that recognize small molecules and respond by changing their three-dimensional structure. This change in turn affects the translation of the mRNA or, sometimes, its premature termination, especially during protein synthesis in the cell, including microbial cells. A riboswitch can be defined as an RNA domain, usually in an mRNA molecule, that can bind a specific small molecule and alter its secondary structure. And this alteration in turn controls translation of the mRNA in the affected cell. Riboswitching as explained above is an important process in molecular biology because it helps to control biosynthetic pathways for amino acids and other metabolites in the cell of an organism. Riboswitches are mostly used to control biosynthetic pathways for amino acids, purines, and other metabolites produced in the cells of microbes.. One of the most interesting findings in molecular biology has been the discovery that RNA molecules can carry ...

The design and implementation of synthetic biological systems often require information on transcription and translation rates and on the impact of both RNA and protein levels on metabolic activities of host cells. Such information is needed when both strong and low levels of expression are desired, depending on the biologists goal, e.g. high production or cell localization of a protein, respectively. To date, however, quantitative information about the expression strength of a promoter is difficult to obtain due to the lack of noninvasive and quick approaches to measure the levels of RNA and protein in cells. Here, we engineer a fluorescence-based sensor that can provide information on both transcription strength and translation efficiency that is noninvasive, easily applied to a variety of promoters, and capable of providing results in a time frame that is short when compared to current technologies. The sensor is based on the use of an RNA aptamer (termed Spinach) and a fluorogen activating ...

There are surprisingly few ways to directly observe how cells and proteins work inside living creatures. Weian Zhao devised simple sensors that let scientists do exactly that.. Zhao starts by identifying a short, single-stranded piece of DNA called an aptamer that selectively binds with a protein or other biomolecule researchers are interested in. He attaches a fluorescent dye to the aptamer and then attaches the aptamer-dye combination to the surface of a type of stem cell, found in bone marrow and fat tissue, that homes in on inflamed tissue and tumors.. When the combination of dye, aptamer, and stem cell is injected into a living organism, the stem cell seeks out the targeted biomolecules. For example, if researchers want to look at unhealthy tissue, the aptamer latches onto the biomolecule suspected of being at the root of the problem, and the dye lights up or changes color.. By putting mice that have been injected with these sensors under a special microscope designed to hold a living ...

  • To reduce toxicity, the immunomodulatory aptamers were targeted to the tumor by conjugation to a second aptamer that bound to a product expressed on the surface of the tumor cell, the targeting aptamer, generating a bispecific aptamer conjugate analogous to bispecific antibodies. (aacrjournals.org)
  • In a proof-of-concept study in mice, we have shown that an agonistic 4-1BB-binding aptamer conjugated to a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-binding aptamer led to the inhibition of PSMA-expressing tumors, was more effective than, and synergized with, vaccination, and exhibited a superior therapeutic index compared with nontargeted costimulation with 4-1BB antibodies or 4-1BB aptamers. (aacrjournals.org)
  • The cell-free chemically synthesized ODN aptamers offer significant advantages over antibodies in terms of synthesis, cost, as well as conjugation chemistry needed to generate bispecific ligand fusions. (aacrjournals.org)
  • The ability of aptamers to replicate the behaviour of antibodies has led to excitement about the potential of use of aptamers in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. (atdbio.com)
