DNA-hosted Hoechst dyes: application for label-free fluorescent monitoring of endonuclease activity and inhibition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple and facile approach was developed for monitoring EcoRI endonuclease activity and inhibition, in which a hairpin-like DNA containing restriction cutting site for EcoRI endonuclease acts as the sensing element and Hoechst dyes as the signal indicator in a label-free format.

DNA labeling in living cells.
BACKGROUND Live cell fluorescence microscopy experiments often require visualization of the nucleus and the chromatin to determine the nuclear morphology or the localization of nuclear compartments. METHODS We compared five different DNA dyes, TOPRO-3, TOTO-3, propidium iodide, Hoechst 33258, and DRAQ5, to test their usefulness in live cell experiments with continuous imaging and photobleachi...
متن کاملSingle molecule localization microscopy of the distribution of chromatin using Hoechst and DAPI fluorescent probes
Several approaches have been described to fluorescently label and image DNA and chromatin in situ on the single-molecule level. These superresolution microscopy techniques are based on detecting optically isolated, fluorescently tagged anti-histone antibodies, fluorescently labeled DNA precursor analogs, or fluorescent dyes bound to DNA. Presently they suffer from various drawbacks such as low ...
متن کاملDiscovery of DNA dyes Hoechst 34580 and 33342 as good candidates for inhibiting amyloid beta formation: in silico and in vitro study
Combining Lipinski's rule with the docking and steered molecular dynamics simulations and using the PubChem data base of about 1.4 million compounds, we have obtained DNA dyes Hoechst 34580 and Hoechst 33342 as top-leads for the Alzheimer's disease. The binding properties of these ligands to amyloid beta (Aβ) fibril were thoroughly studied by in silico and in vitro experiments. Hoechst 34580 an...
متن کاملEarly detection of Chlamydia trachomatis using fluorescent, DNA binding dyes.
HeLa 229 cells were infected with genital tract strains of Chlamydia trachomatis. After incubation for varying times the infected cells were fixed and stained with the fluorescent DNA binding dyes Hoechst 33258 or DAPI for comparison with conventional Giemsa stain. Fluorochrome-treated preparations were examined by incident ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy and the Giemsa-stained preparations...
متن کاملApplication of JC1 for non-toxic isolation of cells with MDR transporter activity by flow cytometry
The DNA intercalating dye Hoechst 33342 or its close analog DCV are actively removed from cells by the multidrug resistance transporter ABCG2, a protein overexpressed in metastatic cells and somatic stem cells. In bivariate blue-red flow cytometry fluorescent plots active Hoechst or DCV efflux combined with a concentration dependent bathochromic shifts of these nuclear dyes leads to the segrega...
