A High-Affinity Methyl-CpG-Binding Protein for Endonuclease-Free and Label-Free DNA Methyltransferase Activity Detection
摘要 DNA methyltransferase(MTase)activity detection has received increasing attention as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target.However,most of these detection methods rely on endonuclease digestion and signal groups labeling.Herein,we present a novel platform for sensing DNA MTase activity that overcomes these limitations.Our approach is both endonuclease-free and label-free,utilizing a combination of a high-affinity streptavidin-methyl-CpG-binding domain(SA-MBD)protein and surface plasmon resonance(SPR)technology.The SA-MBD protein specifically recognizes a hairpin probe containing methylated CpG sites,which is treated with M.SssI MTase.This recognition event generates a corresponding SPR response signal.The limit of detection is as low as 0.016 U/mL,owing to the high-affinity of the SA-MBD protein.Notably,we have demonstrated the feasibility of our method for M.SssI MTase activity analysis in serum and inhibitor screening,which implies the potential prospects for biomedical research.
