A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe was developed to detect the toxic dinoflagellate, Takayama pulchella TPXM, using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) combined with epifluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The PNA probe was then used to analyze HAB samples from Xiamen Bay. The results indicated that the fluorescein phosphoramidite (FAM)-labeled probe (PNATP28S01) [Flu]-OO ATG CCA TCT CAA GA, entered the algal cells easily and bound to the target species specifically. High hybridization efficiency (nearly 100%) was observed. Detection by epifluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry gave comparable results. The fluorescence intensity of the PNA probe hybridized to T. pulchella cells was remarkably higher than that of two DNA probes used in this study and than the autofluorescence of the blank and negative control cells. In addition, the hybridization condition of the PNA probe was easier to control than DNA probes, and when applied to field-collected samples, the PNA probe showed higher binding efficiency to the target species than DNA probes. With the observed high specificity, binding efficiency, and detection signal intensity, the PNA probe will be useful for monitoring harmful algal blooms of T. pulchella. 相似文献

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental measurements of the stability of a novel pyrrolidinyl PNA binding to DNA (PNA·DNA) in both parallel and antiparallel configurations were carried out. For comparison, simulations were also performed for the DNA·DNA duplex. The conformations of the three simulated systems were found to retain well-defined base pairing and base stacking as their starting B-like structure. A large gas-phase energy repulsion of the two negatively charged sugar-phosphate backbones of the DNA strands was found to reduce the stability of the DNA·DNA duplex significantly compared with that of the PNA·DNA complexes, especially in the antiparallel binding configuration. In addition, the antiparallel PNA·DNA was observed to be less solvated than that of the other two systems. The simulated binding free energies and the experimental melting temperatures for the three investigated systems are in good agreement, indicating that the antiparallel PNA·DNA is the most stable duplex. 相似文献

Thiolated pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acids (HS-PNAs) bearing d-prolyl-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (ACPC) backbones with different lengths and types of thiol modifiers were synthesized and then characterized by MALDI–TOF mass spectrometry. These HS-PNAs were immobilized on gold-coated glass by self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation via S atom linkage for the detection of DNA hybridization using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The amount and the stability of the immobilized HS-PNAs, as well as the effects of spacer and blocking thiol on DNA hybridization efficiency, were determined. SPR results indicated that the hybridization efficiency was enhanced when the distance between the PNA portion and the thiol terminal was increased and/or when blocking thiol was used following the HS-PNA immobilization. The immobilized HS-PNA could discriminate between fully complementary DNA from one or two base mismatched DNA with a relatively high degree of mismatch discrimination (>45%) in PBS buffer at 25 °C. The lowest DNA concentration at which reliable discrimination between fully complementary and single mismatched DNA could still occur was at about 0.2 μM, which is equivalent to 10 pmol of DNA. This research demonstrates that using these novel thiolated PNAs in combination with the SPR technique offers a direct, rapid and non-label based method that could potentially be applied for the analysis of genomic or PCR-amplified DNA in the future. 相似文献

A new simple solid-phase method has been developed for synthesizing Boc-protected peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomers. An immobilized backbone 3 was built on Expansin® resin using an ester disulphide handle: 2-hydroxypropyl-dithio-2′-isobutyric acid (HPDI). The base acetic acids of thymine 5 , Z-cytosine 9 , Z-adenine 12 , and 6-O-benzyl guanine 17 were prepared and coupled to the immoblized backbone. The HPDI handle was cleaved under mild conditions by cyanolysis or assisted hydrolysis with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) to give undamaged PNA monomers. These monomers were coupled to form oligomers by solid-phase method with another disulphide linkage: aminoethyldithio-2-isobutyric acid (AEDI) grafted on an amino-functionalized TentaGel® resin, using in situ neutralization and TBTU as activating reagent. Final cleavage of the AEDI linker gave PNA bearing a cysteamide residue that could be useful for optimizing PNA properties. Oligomers of up to 16 residues long were assembled. © 1998 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Plasmon surface polaritons, resonantly excited in the Kretschmann format, are used to enhance the fluorescence emission of chromophore-labeled oligonucleotides (15mers) binding to surface-attached (via biotin–streptavidin linkages) complement catcher probes. A detailed analysis of the association and dissociation kinetics as well as the affinity constants is given for a mismatch 1 hybrid, emphasizing, in particular, the experimental conditions that are required to allow for an artifact-free determination of rate constants. A first comparison between DNA- and peptide nucleic acid (PNA-) probes shows similar affinities, however, significant deviations from single-exponential kinetics predicted by a simple Langmuir model for the PNA case are found. 相似文献

The 2‐(o‐nitrophenyl)‐propyl (NPP) group is used as caging group to mask the nucleobases adenine and cytosine in N‐(2‐aminoethyl)glycine peptide nucleic acids (aeg‐PNA). The adeninyl and cytosinyl nucleo amino acid building blocks Fmoc‐aNPP‐aeg‐OH and Fmoc‐cNPP‐aeg‐OH were synthesized and incorporated into PNA sequences by Fmoc solid phase synthesis relying on high stability of the NPP nucleobase protecting group toward Fmoc‐cleavage, coupling, capping, and resin cleavage conditions. Removal of the nucleobase caging group was achieved by UV‐LED irradiation at 365 nm. The nucleobase caging groups provided sterical crowding effecting the Watson–Crick base pairing, and thereby, the PNA double strand stabilities. Duplex formation can completely be suppressed for complementary PNA containing caging groups in both strands. PNA/PNA recognition can be completely restored by UV light‐triggered release of the photolabile protecting group. Copyright © 2013 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Previous fluorescence melting curve analysis (FMCA) used intercalating dyes, and this method has restricted application. Therefore, FMCA methods such as probe-based FMCA and molecular beacons were studied. However, the usual dual-labeled probes do not possess adequate fluorescence quenching ability and sufficient specificity, and molecular beacons with the necessary stem structures are hard to design. Therefore, we have developed a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based FMCA method. PNA oligonucleotide can have a much higher melting temperature (Tm) value than DNA. Therefore, short PNA probes can have adequate Tm values for FMCA, and short probes can have higher specificity and accuracy in FMCA. Moreover, dual-labeled PNA probes have self-quenching ability via single-strand base stacking, which makes PNA more favorable. In addition, this method can facilitate simultaneous identification of multiple DNA templates. In conventional real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), one fluorescence channel can identify only one DNA template. However, this method uses two fluorescence channels to detect three types of DNA. Experiments were performed with one to three different DNA sequences mixed in a single tube. This method can be used to identify multiple DNA sequences in a single tube with high specificity and high clarity. 相似文献

Given the demand for improved methods for detecting and characterizing RNA variants in situ, we developed a quantitative method for detecting RNA alternative splicing variants that combines in situ hybridization of fluorescently labeled peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes with confocal microscopy Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The use of PNA probes complementary to sequences flanking a given splice junction allows to specifically quantify, within the cell, the RNA isoform generating such splice junction as FRET efficiency measure. The FRET-based PNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FP-FISH) method offers a conceptually new approach for characterizing at the subcellular level not only splice variant isoform structure, location, and dynamics but also potentially a wide variety of close range RNA–RNA interactions. In this paper, we explain the FP-FISH technique workflow for reliable and reproducible results. 相似文献

A new azido derivative of 2,2′-dipicolylamine (Dpa), 2-azido-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)ethanamine, (Dpa-N3) was readily prepared from the known 2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)ethanol (Dpa-OH). It was demonstrated that Dpa-N3 could be efficiently labeled with both [Re(CO)3(H2O)3]Br and [99mTc(H2O)3(CO)3]+ to give [Re(CO)3(Dpa-N3)]Br and [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-N3)]+, respectively. Furthermore, Dpa-N3 was successfully coupled, on the solid phase, to a Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) oligomer (H-4-pentynoic acid-spacer-spacer-tgca-tgca-tgca-Lys-NH2; spacer = -NH-(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-O-CH2-CO-) using the Cu(I)-catalyzed [2 + 3] azide/alkyne cycloaddition (Cu-AAC, often referred to as the prototypical “click” reaction) to give the Dpa-PNA oligomer. Subsequent labeling of Dpa-PNA with [99mTc(H2O)3(CO)3]+ afforded [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-PNA)] in radiochemical yields > 90%. Partitioning experiments in a 1-octanol/water system were carried out to get more insight on the lipophilicity of [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-N3)]+ and [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-PNA)]. Both compounds were found rather hydrophilic (log Do/w values at pH = 7.4 are −0.50: [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-N3)]+ and −0.85: [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-PNA)]. Biodistribution studies of [99mTc(CO)3(Dpa-PNA)] in Wistar rats showed a very fast blood clearance (0.26 ± 0.1 SUV, 1 h p.i.) and modest accumulation in the kidneys (5.45 ± 0.45 SUV, 1 h p.i.). There was no significant activity in the thyroid and the stomach, demonstrating a high in vivo stability of the 99mTc-labeled Dpa-PNA conjugate. 相似文献

Cationic nucleopeptides belong to a family of synthetic oligomers composed by amino acids and nucleobases. Their capability to recognize nucleic acid targets and to cross cellular membranes provided the basis for considering them as novel non-covalent delivery agents for nucleic acid pharmaceuticals. Herein, starting from a 12-mer nucleopeptide model, the number of cationic residues was modulated in order to obtain new nucleopeptides endowed with high solubility in acqueous medium, acceptable bio-stability, low cytotoxicity and good capability to bind nucleic acid. Two candidates were selected to further investigate their potential as nucleic acid carriers, showing higher efficiency to deliver PNA in comparison with RNA. Noteworthy, this study encourages the development of nucleopeptides as new carriers to extend the known strategies for those nucleic acid analogues, especially PNA, that still remain difficult to drive into the cells. 相似文献

A novel leaky surface acoustic wave (LSAW) bis-peptide nucleic acid (bis-PNA) biosensor with double two-port resonators has been constructed successfully for the quantitative detection of human papilloma virus (HPV). The bis-PNA probe can directly detect HPV genomic DNA without polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, and it can bind to the target DNA sequences more effectively and specifically than a DNA probe. When the concentrations varied from 1 pg/L to 1000 μg/L, with 100 μg/L being the optimal, a typical linearity was found between the quantity of target and the phase shifts. The detection limit was 1.21 pg/L and the clinical specificity was 97.22% of that of real-time PCR. The bis-PNA probe was able to distinguish sequences that differ only in one base. Both the intraassay and interassay coefficients of variance (CVs) were <10%, and the biosensor can be regenerated for ten times without appreciable loss of activity. Therefore, this technical platform of LSAW biosensor can be applied to clinical samples for direct HPV detection. 相似文献

The HERV‐W family of human endogenous retroviruses represents a group of numerous sequences that show close similarity in genetic composition. It has been documented that some members of HERV‐W–derived expression products are supposed to play significant role in humans' pathology, such as multiple sclerosis or schizophrenia. Other members of the family are necessary to orchestrate physiological processes (eg, ERVWE1 coding syncytin‐1 that is engaged in syncytiotrophoblast formation). Therefore, an assay that would allow the recognition of particular form of HERV‐W members is highly desirable. A peptide nucleic acid (PNA)–mediated technique for the discrimination between multiple sclerosis‐associated retrovirus and ERVWE1 sequence has been developed. The assay uses a PNA probe that, being fully complementary to the ERVWE1 but not to multiple sclerosis‐associated retrovirus (MSRV) template, shows high selective potential. Single‐stranded DNA binding protein facilitates the PNA‐mediated, sequence‐specific formation of strand invasion complex and, consequently, local DNA unwinding. The target DNA may be then excluded from further analysis in any downstream process such as single‐stranded DNA‐specific exonuclease action. Finally, the reaction conditions have been optimized, and several PNA probes that are targeted toward distinct loci along whole HERV‐W env sequences have been evaluated. We believe that PNA/single‐stranded DNA binding protein–based application has the potential to selectively discriminate particular HERV‐W molecules as they are at least suspected to play pathogenic role in a broad range of medical conditions, from psycho‐neurologic disorders (multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia) and cancers (breast cancer) to that of an auto‐immunologic background (psoriasis and lupus erythematosus). 相似文献

We developed the approach to detect single-nucleotide mutation with peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes and time-resolved fluorometry using a fluorescence lanthanide chelate label, {2,2',2',2'-{4'-{[(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]biphenyl-4-yl}-2,2': 6',2'-terpyridine-6,6'-diyl}bis(methylenenitrilo)}tetrakis(acetato)}europium(III) (DTBTA-Eu3+). Compared with DNA probes, PNA probes showed lower mismatch signals and gave higher signal/noise (S/N) ratios. Using the system, we examined the single-nucleotide mutations of codon 12 in the c-Ha-ras gene of PCR amplicons of genome DNAs isolated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and T24 cells. 相似文献

Since inhibitors of mucin onco proteins are potential targets for breast cancer therapy, a series of novel 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid (1) derivatives 3a–k were synthesized by the reaction of 1 with SOCl2 followed by different bases/alcohols in the presence of triethylamine. Once synthesized and characterized, their binding modes with MUC1 were studied by molecular docking analysis using Aruglab 4.0.1 and QSAR properties were determined using HyperChem. All synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro anti-breast cancer activity against MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines by Trypan-blue cell viability assay and MTT methods. Compounds 1, 3b, 3d, 3e, 3i and 3f showed good anti-breast cancer activity. Since 1 and 3d exhibited high potent activity against MDA-MB-231 cell lines, they show could be effective mucin onco protein inhibitors. 相似文献

N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are known to be involved in a range of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and consequently the development of compounds that modulate the function of these receptors has been the subject of intense interest. We have recently reported that 6-bromocoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (UBP608) is a negative allosteric modulator with weak selectivity for GluN2A-containing NMDARs. In the present study, a series of commercially available and newly synthesized coumarin derivatives have been evaluated in a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study as modulators of recombinant NMDAR activity. The main conclusions from this SAR study were that substituents as large as iodo were accommodated at the 6-position and that 6,8-dibromo or 6,8-diiodo substitution of the coumarin ring enhanced the inhibitory activity at NMDARs. These coumarin derivatives are therefore excellent starting points for the development of more potent and GluN2 subunit selective inhibitors, which may have application in the treatment of a range of neurological disorders such as neuropathic pain, epilepsy and depression. Surprisingly, 4-methyl substitution of UBP608 to give UBP714, led to conversion of the inhibitory activity of UBP608 into potentiating activity at recombinant GluN1/GluN2 receptors. UBP714 also enhanced NMDAR mediated field EPSPs in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. UBP714 is therefore a novel template for the development of potent and subunit selective NMDAR potentiators that may have therapeutic applicability in the treatment of patients with cognitive deficits or schizophrenia. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to study the inhibitory effects of antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) targeted to domain II of 23S rRNA on bacterial translation and growth. In this paper, we report that PNA(G1138) or peptide-PNA(G1138) targeted to domain II of 23S rRNA can inhibit both translation in vitro (in a cell-free translation system) and bacterial growth in vivo. The inhibitory concentration (IC50) and the minimum inhibiting concentration (MIC) are 0.15 and 10 microM, respectively. The inhibition effect of PNA(G1138) in vitro is somewhat lower than that of tetracycline (IC50 = 0.12 microM), but the MIC of peptide-PNA(G1138) against Escherichia coli is significantly higher than that of tetracycline (MIC = 4 microM). Further studies based on similar colony-forming unit (CFU) assays showed that peptide-PNA(G1138) at 10 microM is bactericidal, but the bactericidal effect is less effective than that of tetracycline. Nevertheless, the results demonstrated that the peptide-PNA(G1138) treatment is bactericidal in a dose- and sequence-dependent manner and that the G1138 site of 23S rRNA is a possible sequence target for designing novel PNA-based antibiotics. 相似文献

The reaction of cyanide (CN?) with cystine to produce 2-aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (ATCA) is one of the independent detoxification pathways of cyanide in biological systems. In this report, in vivo production of ATCA and its distributions in plasma and organs were studied after a subcutaneous sublethal dose of 4?mg/kg body weight potassium cyanide (KCN) administration to rats. At this sublethal dose of KCN, ATCA concentration was not significantly increased in the plasma samples, however, it was found significantly increased in liver samples. These results suggested that ATCA might not be a good diagnostic biomarker in plasma for sublethal cyanide exposure; however, liver could serve as the right organ for the detection of ATCA in post-mortem examinations involving cyanide exposure in military, firefighting, industrial and forensic settings. 相似文献
