M. A1 - Leimkühler, Silke T1 - Rhodobacter capsulatus XdhC is involved in molybdenum cofactor binding and insertion into xanthine dehydrogenase N2 - Rhodobacter capsulatus xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) is a cytoplasmic enzyme with an (alpha beta) 2 heterodimeric structure that is highly identical to homodimeric eukaryotic xanthine oxidoreductases. The crystal structure revealed that the molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is deeply buried within the protein. A protein involved in Moco insertion and XDH maturation has been identified, which was designated XdhC. XdhC was shown to be essential for the production of active XDH but is not a subunit of the purified enzyme. Here we describe the purification of XdhC and the detailed characterization of its role for XDH maturation. We could show that XdhC binds Moco in stoichiometric amounts, which subsequently can be inserted into Moco-free apo-XDH. A specific interaction between XdhC and XdhB was identified. We show that XdhC is required for the stabilization of the sulfurated form of Moco present in enzymes of the xanthine oxidase family. Our findings imply that enzyme-specific proteins exist for the biogenesis of molybdoenzymes, coordinating Moco binding and insertion into their respective target proteins. So far, the requirement of such proteins for molybdoenzyme maturation has been described only for prokaryotes Y1 - 2006 UR - http://www.jbc.org/ U6 - https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M601617200 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Beissenhirtz, Moritz Karl A1 - Scheller, Frieder W.

T1 - Molecule-detective BT - Molekül-Detektive : Biosensoren N2 - Biosensors are analytical devices incorporating biological material (receptor) intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochernical transducer. Advantages are the high selectivity for analyte detection. Examples given comprise the very successful commercial blood glucose biosensors made for the self-control by the diabetic patients. Other biosensors are part of an analytic system, including the sensor chips Of surface plasmon resonance or interferometry based devices, piezoelectric or reflectometric sensors capable of direct measurement of mass changes, and thermometric and other reagentless sensors. The development of nanotubes-based devices allows for significant enhancment of the signal-to-noise ratio of the biosensors. A milestone on the way towards miniaturization and parallelization of biosensors is the recently developed and prize-winning electronic DNA chip Y1 - 2006 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Liu, Songqin A1 - Wollenberger, Ursula A1 - Halamek, Jan A1 - Leupold, Eik A1 - Stöcklein, Walter F.

T1 - Affinity interaction betwen phenylboronic acid-carrying self-assembled monolayers and FAD or HRP N2 - A method is provided for the recognition of glycated molecules based on their binding affinities to boronate- carrying monolayers. The affinity interaction of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with phenylboronic acid monolayers on gold was investigated by using voltammetric and microgravimetric methods. Conjugates of 3-aminopherrylboronic acid and 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid di(N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) or 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid were prepared and self-assembled on gold surfaces to generate monolayers. FAD is bound to this modified sur-face and recognized by a pair of redox peaks with a formal potential of -0.433 V in a 0.1 m phosphate buffer solution, pH 6.5. Upon addition of a sugar to the buffer, the bound FAD could be replaced, indicating that the binding is reversible. Voltammetric, mass measurements, and photometric activity assays show that the HRP can also be bound to the interface. This binding is reversible, and HRP can be replaced by sorbitol or removed in acidic solution. The effects of pH, incubation time, and concentration of H2O2 were studied by comparing the catalytic reduction of H2O2 in the presence of the electron-donor thionine. The catalytic current of the HRP-loaded electrode was proportional to HRP concentrations in the incubation solution in the range between 5 mu g mL(-1) and 0.4 mg mL(-1) with a linear slope of 3.34 mu A mL mg(-1) and a correlation coefficient of 0.9945 Y1 - 2005 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Kleuser, U.

T1 - Detection of subicomolar concentrations of human matrix metalloproteinase-2 by an optical biosensor N2 - We describe in this paper the development of a one-step sandwich assay for the highly sensitive and fast detection of human matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 (EC 3.4.24.24), using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For the assay, two ligands were selected: monoclonal anti-MMP-2 antibody Ab-2 and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-2. They were chosen on the basis of (1) their affinities to MMP-2, (2) the efficiency of immobilization to the sensor chip, (3) the efficiency of adsorption to colloidal gold, and (4) the stability of these protein-coated gold particles. The assay included mixing of MMP-2 with antibody Ab-2 adsorbed to colloidal gold with a diameter of about 20 rim and injection into the flowcell of the SPR instrument containing immobilized TIMP-2. By using colloidal gold particles an amplification factor of 114 and a detection limit of 0.5 pM for MMP-2 were obtained. The precision of the assay was high even at low analyte concentrations, the standard deviation being 8.3% for five determinations of 1 pM MMP- 2. No significant binding was observed with the structurally related MMP-9. The assay is far more sensitive and faster than commonly used methods for MMP-2 detection. As TIMP-bound MMP-2 is not detected by this method, the assay can be applied for measuring free MMP-2, reflecting the imbalance of free and inhibitor-bound enzyme in various pathological situations.
