MoS2 quantum dots featured fluorescent biosensor for multiple detection of cancer

ABSTRACTS
Transition metal ions, such as those generated through MoS2 material, possess an intrinsic fluorescence quenching property towards organic dye molecules; thus, they can be used to construct biosensors as quenchers. However, we found that the conventional bulk MoS2 blocks the view of fluorescence imaging, and is incapable of tracing and visualizing mucin 1-overexpression cancer cells. Herein, a FAM fluorophore-labeled ssDNA fluorescent probe (P0-FAM) stacked on the surface of MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) was used to construct a MoS2 QDs–P0-FAM biosensor. MoS2 QDs exhibit a high fluorescence quenching ability towards fluorescent dyes, possess large specific surface area and a large number of active sites to adsorb and quench more fluorescent probes, promoting sensitivity between quenching and the recovery signal. In addition, the lighter color of unstack-MoS2 QDs is beneficial to define the location of cancer cells compared to MoS2nanosheets. The novel MoS2 QDs-based biosensor demonstrates high sensitivity to MUC1 with a detection limit of 0.5 nM, and may become an important tool toward the detection of cancer cells.

The Catalytically Inactive Mutation of the Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme CDC34 Affects its Stability and Cell Proliferation

Author：Xun Liu, Yang Zhang, Zhanhong Hu, Qian Li, Lu Yang,  Guoqiang Xu     《The Protein Journal》 ABSTRACTS The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) plays important roles in the regulation of protein stability, localization, and activity. A myriad of studies have focused on the functions of ubiquitin ligases E3s and deubiquitinating enzymes DUBs due to their specificity in the recognition of downstream substrates. However, the roles of the most ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2s are not completely understood except that they transport the activated ubiquitin and form E2–E3 protein complexes. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme CDC34 can promote the degradation of downstream targets through the UPS whereas its non-catalytic functions are still elusive. Here, we find that mutation of the catalytically active cysteine to serine (C93S) results in the reduced ubiquitination, increased stability, and attenuated degradation rate of CDC34. Through semi-quantitative proteom...

Identification and Inhibitory Mechanism of Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides Derived from Bovine Hemoglobin

Author：Ying Wang, Yiqun Jiang, Yongguang Yin, Jiyun Liu,  Long Ding, Jingbo Liu, Ting Zhang     《The Protein Journal》 ABSTRACTS Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE, EC.3.4.15.1) inhibitory peptide is an efficacious therapy for hypertension. In this study, four dipeptides, TY, FD, FL and FG, were identified from the desalted fraction of bovine hemoglobin hydrolysate, obtained by in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion, via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The IC 50   value of TY and FL are 96.43?±?6.17 and 290.66?±?57.92  μM, respectively. The result of molecular docking indicated that TY occupied the ACE subsite S1 and S1′ with a lowest estimated binding energy of ?9.96  Kcal/mol, while FL occupied the subsite S5 with a lowest estimated binding energy of ?9.37  Kcal/mol. The subsite S1′ and S2′ are closer to the ACE active center (Zn 2+ ) than S5, and the lowest estimated binding energy of TY is lower ...

Preparation of an antimicrobial surface by direct assembly of antimicrobial peptide with its surface binding activity

Author：Junjian Chen, Yuchen Zhu, Yancheng Song, Lin Wang,  Jiezhao Zhan, Jingcai He, Jian Zheng, Chunting Zhong, Xuetao Shi, Sa Liu, Li Ren and Yingjun Wang     《Journal of Materials Chemistry B》 ABSTRACTS Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a broad prospect for clinical application against bacterial infections of biomaterials. However, a bottleneck exists as there is a lack of simple technology to prepare AMPs on biomaterials with sufficient activity, as the activity of AMP is dependent on the correct orientation on the biomaterial. In the present study, based on the conventional AMP (Tet213: KRWWKWWRRC) and surface binding peptide (SKHKGGKHKGGKHKG), we designed an Anchor-AMP that could be directly assembled onto the surface of the biomaterial and also showed excellent antimicrobial activity. By characterizing the surface using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), contact angle, atom force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectr...
