Alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. AH-101 was characterized in terms of physiological and biochemical characteristics, and 16S rDNA sequence homology and
DNA–DNA hybridization analyses were performed. Phylogenetic analysis of strain AH-101 based on comparison of 16S rDNA sequences
revealed that this strain is closely related to Bacillus halodurans. DNA–DNA hybridization of AH-101 and related Bacillus reference strains showed that the highest level of DNA–DNA relatedness (88%) was found between strain AH-101 and the B. halodurans type strain (DSM497). Our findings demonstrate that strain AH-101 is a member of the species B. halodurans.

With a view toward verifying the original classification of alkaliphilic Bacillus firmus OF4, physiological and biochemical characteristics were more extensively catalogued than in original studies, and this catalog
was supplemented with 16S rDNA sequence homology and more extensive DNA–DNA hybridization analyses. Phylogenetic analysis
of this alkaliphile based on the comparison of multiple 16S rDNA sequences from Bacillus species indicated that this strain is most closely related to Bacillus pseudofirmus. Consistently, in the DNA–DNA hybridization analysis of the alkaliphile and Bacillus reference strains, the highest level of DNA–DNA relatedness (96%) was found between the alkaliphile and the B. pseudofirmus type strain (DSM 8715T). The findings support the conclusion that this alkaliphile strain is more closely related to B. pseudofirmus than to B. firmus, and we propose the future use of the designation B. pseudofirmus OF4.

We propose a novel method to prepare a DNA–protein conjugate using histidine-tag (His-tag) chemistry. Oligo-DNA was modified
with nitrilotriacetate (NTA), which has high affinity to a His-tag on recombinant protein via the complexation of Ni2+. Investigations using a microplate which displayed a complementary DNA-strand revealed that a NTA-modified DNA–protein conjugate
was formed and immobilized in the presence of Ni2+ on the microplate. We then adopted alkaline phosphatase (AP) as a model protein, and application of the DNA–AP conjugate
was demonstrated in a thrombin aptamer-based detection system with a detection limit of approximately 10 nM. 相似文献

A Francisella strain, GM2212, previously isolated from moribund farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in Norway, is closely related to Francisella philomiragia among Francisella spp. according to its complete 16S rDNA, 16S-23S intergenic spacer, 23S rDNA, 23S–5S intergenic spacer, 5S rDNA, FopA, lipoprotein
TUL4 (LpnA), malate dehydrogenase and hypothetical lipoprotein (LpnB) sequences. A comparison between GM2212 and the type
strain of Francisella philomiragia were performed by DNA–DNA hybridization and fatty acid analysis. The DNA–DNA hybridization showed a 70% similarity. The fatty
acid analysis showed only minor differences between the Francisella isolates. Due to the inconclusive result from the DNA–DNA hybridisation, major emphasis concerning the status of this isolate
is made on previously published molecular, phenotypic and biochemical characters. All characteristics taken together support
the establishment of GM2212 as a novel species, for which the name Francisella piscicida sp. nov. is proposed (=CNCM I-3511T = DSM 18777T = LMG registration number not yet
available). 相似文献

Herein, we report the first experimental demonstration of surface plasmon enhancement at a liquid–metal–liquid interface using
a pseudo-Kretschmann geometry. Pumping gold nanoparticle clusters at the interface of a p-xylene–water mixture, we were able to measure a fluorescence enhancement of three orders of magnitude in Rose Bengal at an
excitation wavelength of 532 nm. The observed increase is due to the local electric field enhancement and the reduction of
the fluorescence lifetime of dye molecules in the close vicinity of the metal surface. Theoretical modeling using the T-matrix
method of the electric field intensity enhancement of emulated surfaces supports the experimental results. This new approach
will open a new road for the study of dynamic systems using plasmonics. 相似文献

Ultrafast transient absorption studies are reported for high-aspect-ratio gold nanorods that were fabricated by electrochemical
deposition in polycarbonate templates. The nanorods are 60 nm in diameter with distribution of lengths of up to 6 μm. The
average aspect ratio was ∼50, resulting in a longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (SPRL) band in the mid-IR, as well as a transverse (SPRT) band in the visible. The rods were excited at 400 nm and probed at a range of wavelengths from the visible to the mid-IR
to interrogate both SPR bands. The dynamics observed, including the electron–phonon coupling time and coherent acoustic breathing
mode oscillations, closely resemble those previously reported for gold spherical nanoparticles and smaller-aspect-ratio nanorods.
The electron–phonon coupling time was similarly determined to be 3.3 ± 0.2 ps for both of the SPR bands. Also, oscillations
with a 32-ps period were observed for probing near the SPRT band in the visible region due to impulsive coherent excitation of the acoustic breathing mode, which are consistent with
the 60-nm diameter of the nanorods determined by scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the dynamics for
long gold nanorods are similar to those for smaller nanoparticles.

In this study, an immunosensor chip utilizing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) was fabricated for detecting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Specifically, we applied in parallel an SPR instrument and a CV device to monitor the assembly of carcinoembryonic antibody (anti-CEA) on a protein A-conjugated surface and the subsequent ligand reaction. The immunosensor chips were constructed by various concentrations of protein A. To determine the surface characteristics of different self-assembly monolayers (SAMs), several quantitative and kinetic measurements were carried out. The extent of immobilization of anti-CEA and the immune response of anti-CEA antibody against CEA were measured using the SPR instrument and CV device. The terminal functional groups of protein A have different effects on the adsorption and covalent binding of immunoprotein depending on the steric hindrance. Through the parallel measurements, we demonstrate that SPR and CV are sensitive to measure the antigen–antibody binding capacity. 相似文献

A novel method for sensitivity enhancement of spectral surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors was presented by reducing the refractive index of the sensing prism in the analysis of protein arrays. Sensitivity of spectral SPR biosensors with two different prisms (BK-7, fused silica) was analyzed by net shifts of resonance wavelength for specific interactions of GST–GTPase binding domain of p21-activated kinase-1 and anti-GST on a mixed thiol surface. Sensitivity was modulated by the refractive index of the sensing prism of the spectral SPR biosensors with the same incidence angle. The sensitivity of a spectral SPR biosensor with a fused silica prism was 1.6 times higher than that with a BK-7 prism at the same incidence angle of 46.2°. This result was interpreted by increment of the penetration depth correlated with evanescent field intensity at the metal/dielectric interface. Therefore, it is suggested that sensitivity enhancement is readily achieved by reducing the refractive index of the sensing prism of spectral SPR biosensors to be operated at long wavelength ranges for the analysis of protein arrays. 相似文献

Plant lectin recognition of glycans was evaluated by SPR imaging using a model array of N-biotinylated aminoethyl glycosides of β-d-glucose (negative control), α-d-mannose (conA-responsive), β-d-galactose (RCA120-responsive) and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosamine (WGA-responsive) printed onto neutravidin-coated gold chips. Selective recognition of the cognate ligand was observed
when RCA120 was passed over the array surface. Limited or no binding was observed for the non-cognate ligands. SPR imaging of an array
of 40 sialylated and unsialylated glycans established the binding preference of hSiglec7 for α2-8-linked disialic acid structures
over α2-6-sialyl-LacNAcs, which in turn were recognized and bound with greater affinity than α2-3-sialyl-LacNAcs. Affinity
binding data could be obtained with as little as 10–20 μg of lectin per experiment. The SPR imaging technique was also able
to establish selective binding to the preferred glycan ligand when analyzing crude culture supernatant containing 10–20 μg
of recombinant hSiglec7-Fc. Our results show that SPR imaging provides results that are in agreement with those obtained from
fluorescence based carbohydrate arrays but with the added advantage of label-free analysis. 相似文献

Numerical simulations of surface plasmon resonance system for monitoring DNA hybridization and detecting protein-lipid film interactions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper presents a simple method to extract information about thin organic films from surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
spectra. From numerical simulations it was found that a shift (Δθ
SPR) of an absorption peak in the SPR spectrum was directly proportional to the product of the thin organic film thickness and
the refractive index difference between the thin organic film and a buffer soaking the sample. It was also found that Δθ
SPR was not sensitive to the thin organic film support of a gold film and a glass cover slip. Relationships between Δθ
SPR and distributions of macromolecule structures, in the thin organic films were theoretically established. Formulae were derived
for a homemade SPR system to calculate length, transverse area, density and surface concentration of macromolecules in the
thin organic film. The validity of these treatments was checked by precisely measuring the size of a single distearoylphosphatidylcholine
molecule on a gold-supported phospholipid film; by quantitatively monitoring hybridization of synthesized oligonucleotides
strands based on a biotin/avidin system; and by quantitatively detecting the steric hindrance of rabbit C-reactive protein
specifically bound to phospholipid monolayers composed of synthesized lipids.

We review recent work on DNA-linked gold nanoparticle assemblies. The synthesis, properties, and phase behavior of such DNA–gold
nanoparticle assemblies are described. These nanoparticle assemblies have strong optical extinction in the ultraviolet and
visible light regions; hence, the technique is used to study the kinetics and phase transitions of DNA–gold nanoparticle assemblies.
The melting transition of DNA–gold nanoparticle assemblies shows unusual trends compared to those of free DNA. The phase transitions
are influenced by many parameters, such as nanoparticle size, DNA sequence, DNA grafting density, DNA linker length, interparticle
distance, base pairing defects, and disorders. The physics of the DNA–gold nanoparticle assemblies can be understood in terms
of the phase behavior of complex fluids, with the colloidal gold interaction potential dominated by DNA hybridization energies. 相似文献

The relationship between Sporidiobolus johnsonii and S. salmonicolor was investigated using rDNA sequence data. Two statistically well-supported clades were obtained. One clade included the
type strain of S. johnsonii and the other included the type strain of S. salmonicolor. However, some mating strains of S. salmonicolor were found in the S. johnsonii group. These strains belonged to mating type A2 and were sexually compatible with mating type A1 strains from the S. salmonicolor group. DNA–DNA reassociation values were high within each clade and moderate between the two clades. In the re-investigation
of teliospore germination, we observed that the basidia of S. salmonicolor were two-celled. In S. johnsonii, basidia were not formed and teliospore germination resulted in direct formation of yeast cells. We hypothesize that the
S. johnsonii clade is becoming genetically isolated from the S. salmonicolor group and that a speciation process is presently going on. We suspect that the observed sexual compatibility between strains
of the S. johnsonii and S. salmonicolor groups and the possible genetic flow between the two species has little biological relevance because distinct phenotypes
have been fixed in the two taxa and intermediate (hybrid) sequences for LSU and ITS rDNAs have not been detected.

Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins from plants, animals or microorganisms, which typically bind specifically to sugar residues, e.g., located in cell walls or membranes. This reaction might change the physiology of the cell wall and influences the metabolism inside the cell. Some lectins of plants stimulate the immune system by unspecific activation of T-cells or influence cell division; others cause agglutination of cells (e.g., erythrocytes) and are therefore from therapeutic interest.
In a new approach, biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA) was utilised for a screening program on lectins. The BIA has been done by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The system can be used either for characterisation of lectin-binding domains or for a screening on lectins from natural sources. Several lectin-binding surfaces on the basis of SPR have been established. 相似文献

The prion protein (PrP) is a metalloprotein with an unstructured region covering residues 60–91 that bind two to six Cu(II)
ions cooperatively. Cu can bind to PrP regions C-terminally to the octarepeat region involving residues His111 and/or His96.
In addition to Cu(II), PrP binds Zn(II), Mn(II) and Ni(II) with binding constants several orders of magnitudes lower than
those determined for Cu. We used for the first time surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis to dissect metal binding to specific
sites of PrP domains and to determine binding kinetics in real time. A biosensor assay was established to measure the binding
of PrP-derived synthetic peptides and recombinant PrP to nitrilotriacetic acid chelated divalent metal ions. We have identified
two separate binding regions for binding of Cu to PrP by SPR, one in the octarepeat region and the second provided by His96
and His111, of which His96 is more essential for Cu coordination. The octarepeat region at the N-terminus of PrP increases
the affinity for Cu of the full-length protein by a factor of 2, indicating a cooperative effect. Since none of the synthetic
peptides covering the octarepeat region bound to Mn and recombinant PrP lacking this sequence were able to bind Mn, we propose
a conformational binding site for Mn involving residues 91–230. A novel low-affinity binding site for Co(II) was discovered
between PrP residues 104 and 114, with residue His111 being the key amino acid for coordinating Co(II). His111 is essential
for Co(II) binding, whereas His96 is more important than His111 for binding of Cu(II). 相似文献

In a recent study, we reported the results of a rapid high-throughput expression analysis of the affinity-tagged proteins present in total cell lysates, using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging protein chip system. In this paper, we describe a novel method, which is able to sequentially carry out a recombinant Escherichia coli culture, as well as the detection and purification of the expressed proteins on a single microwell chip, fabricated on a two-dimensional thin gold film. Following the induction of the protein on the microwell chip, the E. coli cells were lysed on the chip via the addition of lysozymes, and the expressed glutathione S-transferase-fused green fluorescent protein (GST–GFP) was then purified on the chip via affinity interaction with the glutathionylated gold surface of the chip. Finally, the expressed protein was directly detected using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging system. This system saves a substantial amount of time, experimental resources, and labor, by allowing for the complicated and labor-intensive procedures inherent to the production of recombinant proteins to be conducted on a single microwell chip, simply and economically.M.

A carbohydrate ligand system has been developed which is composed of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of mannosylerythritol
lipid-A (MEL-A) from Pseudozyma antarctica, serving for human immunoglobulin G and M (HIgG and HIgM). The estimated binding constants from surface plasmon resonance
(SPR) measurement were K
a = 9.4 × 106 M−1 for HIgG and 5.4 × 106 M−1 for HIgM, respectively. The binding site was not in the Fc region of immunoglobulin but in the Fab region. Large amounts
of HIgG and HIgM bound to MEL-A SAMs were directly observed by atomic force microscopy. 相似文献
