Fluorescence polarization method to characterize macrolide-ribosome interactions.
A fluorescence polarization assay is described that measures the binding of fluorescently labeled erythromycin to 70S ribosomes from Escherichia coli and the displacement of the erythromycin from these ribosomes. The assay has been validated with several macrolide derivatives and other known antibiotics. We demonstrate that this assay is suitable for determining the dissociation constants of no...
متن کاملFluorescence polarization assay to quantify protein-protein interactions: an update.
A fluorescence polarization assay can be used to evaluate the strength of a protein-protein interaction. A green fluorescent protein variant is fused to one of the protein partners. The formation of a complex is then deduced from an increase in fluorescence polarization, and the equilibrium dissociation constant of the complex is determined in a homogeneous aqueous environment. The assay is dem...
متن کاملA Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization Method To Quantify mRNA Translation by Visualizing Ribosome–mRNA Interactions in Single Cells
Single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) is a simple and widely used method to measure mRNA transcript abundance and localization in single cells. A comparable single-molecule in situ method to measure mRNA translation would enable a more complete understanding of gene regulation. Here we describe a fluorescence assay to detect ribosome interactions with mRNA (FLARIM). The me...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Fluorescence Difference Spectroscopy to Characterize Nanoparticles and their Interactions
Two dimensional fluorescence difference spectroscopy (2D FDS) detects nanoparticle interactions following surface functionalization and biomolecule loading by generating a spectral signature of the fluorescent intensity per excitation and emission wavelengths. Comparing metal oxide nanoparticles revealed a unique spectral signature per material composition. 2D FDS showed to be sensitive to chan...
متن کاملCritical 23S rRNA interactions for macrolide-dependent ribosome stalling on the ErmCL nascent peptide chain
The nascent peptide exit tunnel has recently been identified as a functional region of ribosomes contributing to translation regulation and co-translational protein folding. Inducible expression of the erm resistance genes depends on ribosome stalling at specific codons of an upstream open reading frame in the presence of an exit tunnel-bound macrolide antibiotic. The molecular basis for this t...
