Protease responsive nanoprobes with tethered fluorogenic peptidyl 3-arylcoumarin substrates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protease responsive nanosensors were obtained by the attachment of unique green fluorescent bifunctional 3-arylcoumarin-derived fluorogenic substrates to poly(acrylamide-co-N-(3-aminopropyl)methacrylamide) nanoparticles, in which proteolysis results in substantial signal amplification.

Fluorescence bio-imaging has become an indispensable tool for monitoring molecular changes in the intracellular environment. A plethora of ‘smart’ optical devices including fluorogenic substrates, quantum dots, near-infrared fluorescence optical probes and optical nanosensors have been developed to provide non-invasive interrogation of enzymatic activity and concentration changes of analytes su...
متن کاملExpedient solid-phase synthesis of fluorogenic protease substrates using the 7-amino-4-carbamoylmethylcoumarin (ACC) fluorophore.
A highly efficient solid-phase synthesis method for the preparation of fluorogenic protease substrates based upon the bifunctional leaving group 7-amino-4-carbamoylmethylcoumarin (ACC) is reported. Methods for the large-scale preparation of the novel fluorogenic leaving-group ACC are provided (Scheme 1). Detailed procedures are also provided for loading a diverse set of amino acids to support-b...
متن کاملA novel high-yield synthesis of aminoacyl p-nitroanilines and aminoacyl 7-amino-4-methylcoumarins: Important synthons for the synthesis of chromogenic/fluorogenic protease substrates
Aminoacyl p-nitroaniline (aminoacyl-pNA) and aminoacyl 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (aminoacyl-AMC) are important synthons for the synthesis of chromogenic/fluorogenic protease substrates. A new efficient method was developed to synthesize aminoacyl-pNA and aminoacyl-AMC derivatives in excellent yields starting from either amino acids or their corresponding commercially available N-hydroxysuccinimi...
متن کاملActivity profiling of human deSUMOylating enzymes (SENPs) with synthetic substrates suggests an unexpected specificity of two newly characterized members of the family.
SENPs [Sentrin/SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier)-specific proteases] include proteases that activate the precursors of SUMOs, or deconjugate SUMOs attached to target proteins. SENPs are usually assayed on protein substrates, and for the first time we demonstrate that synthetic substrates can be convenient tools in determining activity and specificity of these proteases. We synthesized a g...
متن کاملActive site mapping, biochemical properties and subcellular localization of rhodesain, the major cysteine protease of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense.
Cysteine protease activity of African trypanosome parasites is a target for new chemotherapy using synthetic protease inhibitors. To support this effort and further characterize the enzyme, we expressed and purified rhodesain, the target protease of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (MVAT4 strain), in reagent quantities from Pichia pastoris. Rhodesain was secreted as an active, mature protease. Si...
