The fluorescence regulation mechanism of the paramagnetic metal in a biological HNO sensor.

ABSTRACT: Paramagnetic metals are frequently used to regulate fluorescence emissions in chemical and biological probes. Accurate quantum calculations offer the first regulation theory that quenching is through the competitive nonradiative decay of the mixed fluorophore/metal (3)??*/dd state isoenergetic to the fluorophore-localized (1)??* state.

A fast and selective near-infrared fluorescent sensor for multicolor imaging of biological nitroxyl (HNO).

Project description:The first near-infrared fluorescent turn-on sensor for the detection of nitroxyl (HNO), the one-electron reduced form of nitric oxide (NO), is reported. The new copper-based probe, CuDHX1, contains a dihydroxanthene (DHX) fluorophore and a cyclam derivative as a Cu(II) binding site. Upon reaction with HNO, CuDHX1 displays a five-fold fluorescence turn-on in cuvettes and is selective for HNO over thiols and reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. CuDHX1 can detect exogenously applied HNO in live mammalian cells and in conjunction with the zinc-specific, green-fluorescent sensor ZP1 can perform multicolor/multianalyte microscopic imaging. These studies reveal that HNO treatment elicits an increase in the concentration of intracellular mobile zinc.

"Turn-Off" Supramolecular Fluorescence Array Sensor for Heavy Metal Ion Identification.

Project description:A "turn-off" supramolecular fluorescence array sensor based on the host-guest complexes between fluorescence dyes and cucurbit[n]urils for sensing metal ions was developed. Three fluorescent probes (RhB@Q[7], H33342@2Q[7], and BRE@Q[7]) were used as the sensing units to construct a supramolecular fluorescence array sensor. The binding ability of the metal ions and cucurbituril-dye probes varied; therefore, the probes and metal ions produced different fluorescence responses. When combined with linear discriminant analysis (LDA), the qualitative and quantitative detection of seven metal ions was achieved. In analytical samples, the supramolecular fluorescence array sensor recognized and distinguish seven metal ions. These results provided new research ideas for the rapid analysis and real-time monitoring of different heavy metal ions.

New strategy for quantifying biological zinc by a modified zinpyr fluorescence sensor.

Project description:Substitution of one pyridine by pyrazine in each DPA appendage of ZP1 leads to a new zinc sensor, ZPP1, with a modified background fluorescence and zinc affinity. ZPP1 exhibits a two-step zinc response during fluorescence titrations, which leads to a new method for zinc quantification. The ability of ZPP1 to image and quantify zinc was demonstrated in pancreatic Min6 cells.

Data on a real-time tripodal colorimetric/fluorescence sensor for multiple target metal ions.

Project description:Currently considerable research both in life and in environmental sciences is dedicated to chemosensors able to detect metals of biological interest such as zinc and iron or other toxic and carcinogenic, as cadmium, mercury, chromium, lead. Recently, a new chemosensor strategy of "single chemosensor for multiple metals" has emerged. For this scope, many fluorescent sensors for Cd(II) and Zn(II) have been designed and synthetized, as ligand systems or in polymeric matrices [1], [2], [3]. The data presented in this article include experimental data on the of a pyridyl/phenolic/benzothiazole functionalized colorimetric receptor (BPAP) and its selectively recognise Fe(III) and Fe(II) ions with visible, naked eye colour changes and fluorometric selectivity towards Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions in aqueous medium. This article is submitted as a companion paper to Caruso et al. (2018) [4].

An enzyme-responsive metal-enhanced near-infrared fluorescence sensor based on functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is promising due to the high penetration depths and minimal levels of autofluorescence in living systems. However, it suffers from low fluorescent quantum yield, and metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) is considered to be a promising technique to overcome this. Stimuli-responsive NIR fluorescence enhancement shows remarkable potential for applications in medical imaging and diagnosis. Herein, we successfully fabricated an enzyme-responsive near-infrared sensor based on MEF by functionalizing gold nanoparticles with NIR fluorophores and enzyme-responsive self-aggregation moieties. The NIR fluorescence of fluorophores on the gold nanoparticles was significantly enhanced due to increases both in the light scattering intensity and in the radiative decay rate (kr) of the NIR fluorophores, along with relatively small variation in the nonradiative decay rate. This novel strategy for NIR fluorescent sensors should be particularly promising for NIR fluorescence imaging of enzyme activities and early diagnosis based on rationally designed nanomaterials.

A molecular paramagnetic spin-doped biopolymeric oxygen sensor.

Project description:Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry is a powerful technique capable of providing accurate, reliable, and repeated measurements of tissue oxygenation, which is crucial to the diagnosis and treatment of several pathophysiological conditions. Measurement of tissue pO(2) by EPR involves the use of paramagnetic, oxygen-sensitive probes, which can be either soluble (molecular) in nature or insoluble paramagnetic materials. Development of innovative strategies to enhance the biocompatibility and in vivo application of these oxygen-sensing probes is crucial to the growth and clinical applicability of EPR oximetry. Recent research efforts have aimed at encapsulating particulate probes in bioinert polymers for the development of biocompatible EPR probes. In this study, we have developed novel EPR oximetry probes, called perchlorotriphenylmethyl triester (PTM-TE):polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) chips, by dissolving and incorporating the soluble (molecular) EPR probe, PTM-TE, in an oxygen-permeable polymer matrix, PDMS. We demonstrate that such incorporation (doping) of PTM-TE in PDMS enhanced its oxygen sensitivity several fold. The cast-molding method of fabricating chips enabled them to be made with increasing amounts of PTM-TE (spin density). Characterization of the spin distribution within the PDMS matrix, using EPR micro-imaging, revealed potential inhomogeneties, albeit with no adverse effect on the oxygen-sensing characteristics of PTM-TE:PDMS. The chips were resistant to autoclaving or in vitro oxidoreductant treatment, thus exhibiting excellent in vitro biostability. Our results establish PTM-TE:PDMS as a viable probe for biological oxygen-sensing, and also validate the incorporation of soluble probes in polymer matrices as an innovative approach to the development of novel probes for EPR oximetry.

Label-free fluorescent aptamer sensor based on regulation of malachite green fluorescence.

Project description:We report a label-free fluorescent aptamer sensor for adenosine based on the regulation of malachite green (MG) fluorescence, with comparable sensitivity and selectivity to other labeled adenosine aptamer-based sensors. The sensor consists of free MG, an aptamer strand containing an adenosine aptamer next to an MG aptamer, and a bridging strand that partially hybridizes to the aptamer strand. Such a hybridization prevents MG from binding to MG aptamer, resulting in low fluorescence of MG in the absence of adenosine. Addition of adenosine causes the adenosine aptamer to bind adenosine, weakening the hybridization of the aptamer strand with the bridging strand, making it possible for MG to bind to the aptamer strand and exhibit high fluorescence intensity. Since this design is based purely on nucleic acid hybridization, it can be generally applied to other aptamers for the label-free detection of a broad range of analytes.

The carbonyl-lock mechanism underlying non-aromatic fluorescence in biological matter.

Project description:Challenging the basis of our chemical intuition, recent experimental evidence reveals the presence of a new type of intrinsic fluorescence in biomolecules that exists even in the absence of aromatic or electronically conjugated chemical compounds. The origin of this phenomenon has remained elusive so far. In the present study, we identify a mechanism underlying this new type of fluorescence in different biological aggregates. By employing non-adiabatic ab initio molecular dynamics simulations combined with a data-driven approach, we characterize the typical ultrafast non-radiative relaxation pathways active in non-fluorescent peptides. We show that the key vibrational mode for the non-radiative decay towards the ground state is the carbonyl elongation. Non-aromatic fluorescence appears to emerge from blocking this mode with strong local interactions such as hydrogen bonds. While we cannot rule out the existence of alternative non-aromatic fluorescence mechanisms in other systems, we demonstrate that this carbonyl-lock mechanism for trapping the excited state leads to the fluorescence yield increase observed experimentally, and set the stage for design principles to realize novel non-invasive biocompatible probes with applications in bioimaging, sensing, and biophotonics.

Mechanism of metal ion-induced activation of a two-component sensor kinase.

Project description:Two-component systems (TCSs) are essential for bacteria to sense, respond, and adapt to changing environments, such as elevation of Cu(I)/Ag(I) ions in the periplasm. In Escherichia coli, the CusS-CusR TCS up-regulates the cusCFBA genes under increased periplasmic Cu(I)/Ag(I) concentrations to help maintain metal ion homeostasis. The CusS histidine kinase is a homodimeric integral membrane protein that binds to periplasmic Cu(I)/Ag(I) and transduces a signal to its cytoplasmic kinase domain. However, the mechanism of how metal binding in the periplasm activates autophosphorylation in the cytoplasm is unknown. Here, we report that only one of the two metal ion-binding sites in CusS enhances dimerization of the sensor domain. Utilizing nanodisc technology to study full-length CusS, we show that metal-induced dimerization in the sensor domain triggers kinase activity in the cytoplasmic domain. We also investigated autophosphorylation in the cytoplasmic domain of CusS and phosphotransfer between CusS and CusR. In vitro analyses show that CusS autophosphorylates its conserved H271 residue at the N1 position of the histidine imidazole. The phosphoryl group is removed by the response regulator CusR in a reaction that requires a conserved aspartate at position 51. Functional analyses in vivo of CusS and CusR variants with mutations in the autophosphorylation or phosphoacceptor residues suggest that the phosphotransfer event is essential for metal resistance in E. coli Biochemical analysis shows that the CusS dimer autophosphorylates using a cis mechanism. Our results support a signal transduction model in which rotation and bending movements in the cytoplasmic domain maintain the mode of autophosphorylation.

Paramagnetic Chemical Probes for Studying Biological Macromolecules.

Project description:Paramagnetic chemical probes have been used in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for more than four decades. Recent years witnessed a great increase in the variety of probes for the study of biological macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, and oligosaccharides). This Review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing paramagnetic chemical probes, including chemical synthetic approaches, functional properties, and selected applications. Recent developments have seen, in particular, a rapid expansion of the range of lanthanoid probes with anisotropic magnetic susceptibilities for the generation of structural restraints based on residual dipolar couplings and pseudocontact shifts in solution and solid state NMR spectroscopy, mostly for protein studies. Also many new isotropic paramagnetic probes, suitable for NMR measurements of paramagnetic relaxation enhancements, as well as EPR spectroscopic studies (in particular double resonance techniques) have been developed and employed to investigate biological macromolecules. Notwithstanding the large number of reported probes, only few have found broad application and further development of probes for dedicated applications is foreseen.
