Probing enzymatic activity inside living cells using a nanowire-cell "sandwich" assay.
Developing a detailed understanding of enzyme function in the context of an intracellular signal transduction pathway requires minimally invasive methods for probing enzyme activity in situ. Here, we describe a new method for monitoring enzyme activity in living cells by sandwiching live cells between two vertical silicon nanowire (NW) arrays. Specifically, we use the first NW array to immobili...
متن کاملTaking the inventory inside single cells.
developed to measure cell-to-cell differences have typically been based on microscopic imaging of fluorescent proteins 1 or RNA 2,3. These techniques make it possible to monitor RNA or protein fluctuations both in single cells over time and across the cell population , and they are even capable of visualizing single molecules in single cells 4,5. However, they can only be used to monitor a few ...
متن کاملLocalization of mTORC2 activity inside cells
Activation of protein kinase Akt via its direct phosphorylation by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 2 (mTORC2) couples extracellular growth and survival cues with pathways controlling cell growth and proliferation, yet how growth factors target the activity of mTORC2 toward Akt is unknown. In this study, we examine the localization of the obligate mTORC2 component, mSin1, inside cel...
متن کاملProbing proteasome activity in living cells
The idea that nerve cells cannot be replenished was long regarded as fact, but experiments in the last few decades have overturned this misconception. Integral to this turnaround was a report that cells isolated from the adult mammalian central nervous system could, through cell division, produce large clonal spheres composed of daughter cells capable of differentiating into neurons, astrocytes...
متن کاملRadiofrequency triggered enzymatic reaction inside hydrogel microparticles
Biochemical reactions in living organism usually take place inside cells. The characteristic feature of these reactions is their executability; the organism does not produce certain substances all the time, but only when they are needed. The reaction is usually triggered after receiving an extra(or intra-) cellular signal. Stimuli-responsiveness is mostly possible because of compartmentalizatio...
