摘要:

旨在建立简单、快速的检测体外酶促合成的c-di-GMP和cGAMP的方法。本研究以含有T7启动子、VC2 GEMM-1核糖开关序列或其突变序列VC2/g20a、spinach2和tRNA序列的双链DNA为模板,利用T7 RNA聚合酶体外转录体系制备VC2、VC2/g20a RNA适配体。通过检测绿色荧光强度分析RNA适配体对c-di-GMP和cGAMP的结合能力。结果表明,转录得到的RNA经过加热变性、缓慢退火后得到VC2 RNA适配体和VC2/g20a RNA适配体,在125 mmol·L-1 KCl和30 mmol·L-1 MgCl2溶液中孵育180 min的优化结合条件下,VC2适配体与c-di-GMP特异性结合,VC2/g20a适配体与cGAMP特异性结合;c-di-GMP对VC2适配体的半数效应浓度(EC50)为(89±1.7)nmol·L-1,cGAMP对VC2/g20a适配体的半数效应浓度为(309±4.5)nmol·L-1;VC2和VC2/g20a能够分别检测低至5 nmol·L-1和20 nmol·L-1的c-di-GMP和cGAMP;并且发现转录的RNA混合物在未纯化的情况下同样能够检测VC0179体外酶促合成的c-di-GMP和cGAMP。这种方法可以简单快速的检测VC0179体外酶促合成的c-di-GMP和cGAMP,并且为研究其他c-di-GMP和cGAMP合成酶活性提供潜在可能。

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to construct the method to simply and robustly detect the in vitro enzyme-synthesized c-di-GMP and cGAMP. In this study, the double-stranded DNA containing T7 promoter, VC2 GEMM-I ribose switch sequence or VC2/g20a, spinach2 and tRNA sequence was as the template, T7 RNA polymerase in vitro transcription system was used to prepare VC2, VC2/g20a RNA aptamers. In addition, the binding abilities of RNA aptamer to c-di-GMP and cGAMP were determined by examining the green fluorescence intensity. The results showed that the VC2 RNA aptamer and VC2/g20a RNA aptamer were obtained through the process in which transcribed RNA was heated and then was cooled slowly. Under the optimized conditions of 125 mmol·L-1 KCl, 30 mmol·L-1 MgCl2 for 180 min, VC2 and VC2/g20a aptamers could bind to c-di-GMP and cGAMP, respectively, both with specificity and selectivity. In addition, the half effect concentration (EC50) of c-di-GMP for VC2 aptamer was (89±1.7) nmol·L-1, the EC50 of cGAMP for VC2/g20a aptamer was (309±4.5) nmol·L-1. The detection limit of VC2 and VC2/g20a aptamers for c-di-GMP and cGAMP were 5 nmol·L-1 and 20 nmol·L-1, respectively. Moreover, it was shown that the transcribed RNA mixture without purification could noticeably detect c-di-GMP and cGAMP by VC0179 synthesized. Thus, this simple and robust method could be useful in detecting the c-di-GMP and cGAMP by VC0179 synthesized in vitro,and which might be applied to detect the activity of other c-di-GMP and cGAMP synthases.
