Electrical detection of TATA binding protein at DNA-modified microelectrodes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple method for the electrochemical detection of TATA-binding protein is demonstrated at DNA-modified microelectrodes. The assay is general and based on the interruption of DNA-mediated charge transport to Nile Blue, a redox-active probe covalently attached to the DNA base pair stack. Nanomolar quantities of TATA binding protein can be detected on the microelectrodes even in the presence of micromolar amounts of bovine serum albumin, EndonucleaseIII, or Bam HI methyltransferase. The scheme outlined provides a basis for the sensitive electrical detection of numerous proteins on a single DNA chip.

The effects of salt on the TATA binding protein-DNA interaction from a hyperthermophilic archaeon.
This study investigates the thermodynamics of the interaction of the TATA box binding protein (TBP) from Pyrococcus woesei (Pw) with an oligonucleotide containing a specific binding site. Pw is a hyperthermophilic archeal organism which exists under conditions of high salt and high temperature. A measurable protein-DNA interaction only occurs at high salt concentrations. Isothermal titration ca...
متن کاملStereochemistry and position-dependent effects of carcinogens on TATA/TBP binding.
The TATA-box binding protein (TBP) is required by eukaryotic RNA polymerases to bind to the TATA box, an eight-basepair DNA promoter element, to initiate transcription. Carcinogen adducts that bind to the TATA box can hamper this important process. Benzo[a]pyrene (BP) is a representative chemical carcinogen that can be metabolically converted to highly reactive benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxides (BPD...
متن کاملAn electrochemical sensing platform based on local repression of electrolyte diffusion for single-step, reagentless, sensitive detection of a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein.
In this paper, we report for the first time an electrochemical biosensor for single-step, reagentless, and picomolar detection of a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein using a double-stranded, electrode-bound DNA probe terminally modified with a redox active label close to the electrode surface. This new methodology is based upon local repression of electrolyte diffusion associated with prote...
متن کاملDNA-modified electrodes fabricated using copper-free click chemistry for enhanced protein detection.
A method of DNA monolayer formation has been developed using copper-free click chemistry that yields enhanced surface homogeneity and enables variation in the amount of DNA assembled; extremely low-density DNA monolayers, with as little as 5% of the monolayer being DNA, have been formed. These DNA-modified electrodes (DMEs) were characterized visually, with AFM, and electrochemically, and were ...

PT-ACRAMTU ([PtCl(en)(ACRAMTU-S)](NO(3))(2), en = ethane-1,2-diamine, ACRAMTU = 1-[2-(acridin-9-ylamino)ethyl]-1,3-dimethylthiourea) is a cytotoxic platinum-acridine conjugate previously shown to form adducts with the N3 endocyclic nitrogen of adenine in the DNA minor groove. This unusual observation and our prior determination of the pronounced 5'-TA/TA base-step affinity of the drug have prom...
