Kinetic analyses of divalent cation-dependent EcoRV digestions on a DNA-immobilized quartz crystal microbalance.

Enzymatic digestion with a type IIP restriction endonuclease EcoRV was investigated on a DNA-immobilized 27-MHz quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Real-time observations of both the enzyme binding process and the DNA cleavage process of EcoRV were followed by frequency (mass) changes on the QCM, which were dependent on divalent cations such as Ca(2+) or Mg(2+). In the presence of Ca(2+), the site-specific binding of EcoRV to DNA could be observed, without the catalytic process. On the other hand, in the presence of Mg(2+), both the binding of the enzyme to the specific DNA (mass increase) and the site-specific cleavage reaction (mass decrease) could be observed continuously from QCM frequency changes. From time courses of frequency (mass) changes, each kinetic parameter, namely binding rate constants (k(on)), dissociation rate constants (k(off)), dissociation constants (K(d)) of EcoRV to DNA, and catalytic rate constant (k(cat)) of the cleavage reaction, could be determined. The binding kinetic parameters of EcoRV in the presence of Ca(2+) were consistent with those of the binding process followed by the cleavage process in the presence of Mg(2+). The k(cat) value obtained by the QCM method was also consistent with that obtained by other methods. This study is the first to simultaneously determine k(on), k(off), and k(cat) for a type IIP restriction endonuclease on one device.

A peptide motif recognizing a polymer stereoregularity.

A combinatorial phage display method was applied to films composed of a stereoregular polymer of methacrylates. The phage clones with selective affinity for isotactic (it) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were isolated. Greater amounts of the phage clones bound to it-PMMA, compared to other stereoregular PMMAs. The phage expressing ELWRPTR most strongly bound to the polymer, and the selectivity was also the best. The peptide motif essential for the specific interaction with the stereoregular polymer was revealed.

Kinetic studies of DNA cleavage reactions catalyzed by an ATP-dependent deoxyribonuclease on a 27-MHz quartz-crystal microbalance.

Catalytic DNA cleavage reactions by an ATP-dependent deoxyribonuclease (DNase) from Micrococcus luteus were monitored directly with a DNA-immobilized 27-MHz quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM). The 27-MHz QCM is a very sensitive mass-measuring device in aqueous solution, as the frequency decreases linearly with increasing mass on the electrode at a nanogram level. Three steps in ATP-dependent DNA hydrolysis reactions, including (1) binding of DNase to the end of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) on the QCM electrode (mass increase), (2) degradation of one strand of dsDNA in the 3' --> 5' direction depending on ATP (mass decrease), and (3) release of the enzyme from the nonhydrolyzed 5'-free-ssDNA (mass decrease), could be monitored stepwise from the time dependencies of QCM frequency changes. Kinetic parameters for each step were obtained as follows. The binding constant (K(a)) of DNase to the dsDNA was determined as (28 +/- 2) x 10(6) M(-)(1) (k(on) = (8.0 +/- 0.3) x 10(3) M (-)(1) s(-)(1) and k(off) = (0.29 +/-0.01) x 10(-)(3) s(-)(1)), and it decreased to (0.79 +/- 0.16) x 10(6) M(-)(1) (k'(on) = (2.3 +/- 0.2) x 10(3) M (-)(1) s(-)(1) and k'(off) = (2.9 +/- 0.1) x 10(-)(3) s(-)(1)) for the completely nonhydrolyzed 5'-free ssDNA. This is the reason the DNase bound to the dsDNA substrate can easily release from the nonhydrolyzed 5'-free-ssDNA after the complete hydrolysis of the 3' --> 5' direction of the complementary ssDNA. K(a) values depended on the DNA structures on the QCM, and the order of these values was as follows: the dsDNA having a 4-base-mismatched base-pair end (3) > the dsDNA having a 5' 15-base overhanging end (2) > the dsDNA having a blunt end (1) > the ssDNA having a 3'-free end (4) >> the ssDNA having a 5'-free end (5). Thus, DNase hardly recognized the free 5' end of ssDNA. Michaelis-Menten parameters (K(m) for ATP and k(cat)) of the hydrolysis process also could be obtained, and the order of k(cat)/K(m) was as follows: the dsDNA having a blunt end (1) approximately the dsDNA having a 4-base-mismatched base-pair end (3) > the ssDNA having a free 3' end (4) >> the ssDNA having a free 5' end (5). Thus, DNase could not recognize and not hydrolyze the free 5' end of ssDNA. The DNA hydrolysis reaction could be driven by dATP and GTP (purine base) as well as ATP, whereas the cleavage efficiency was very low driven with UTP, CTP (pyrimidine base), ADP, and AMP.

Kinetic study of phosphorylation-dependent complex formation between the kinase-inducible domain (KID) of CREB and the KIX domain of CBP on a quartz crystal microbalance.

We report quantitative analysis of peptide-peptide interactions on a 27 MHz quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) in aqueous solution. The KID (kinase-inducible domain) of transcription factor CREB (cyclic AMP response element binding protein) is known to interact with the KIX domain of coactivator CBP (CREB binding protein), facilitated by phosphorylation at Ser-133 of the KID. The KIX domain peptide (86 aa) was immobilized on the QCM gold electrode surface by means of a poly(ethylene glycol) spacer. Binding of the KID peptide (46 aa) to the KIX peptide was detected by frequency decreases (mass increases) of the QCM. Both maximum binding amount (Deltammax) and association constants (Ka) obtained from the QCM measurements increased as a result of phosphorylation of Ser-133 of the KID peptide. The Ka values for KIX peptide to the phosphorylated (pKID) and unphosphorylated KID peptides were (93+/-2) x 10(3) and (5+/-1) x 10(3) M(-1), respectively. This difference was explained by the dissociation rate constant (k(-1)) of the pKID being 20 times smaller than that of the KID, while association rate constants (k1) were independent of phosphorylation.

Direct monitoring of EcoRII restriction enzyme reactions on a 27 MHz quartz-crystal microbalance.

EcoRII is a type IIe restriction endonuclease characterized by a highly cooperative reaction mechanism that depends on simultaneous binding of the dimeric enzyme molecule to two copies of its recognition site. Gaining insights about reaction property of EcoRII binding to its recognition site and effect of divalent metal ion on DNA cleavage process, a DNA-immobilized quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), which enables real-time monitoring both the binding of enzyme and the cleavage reaction on DNA strands as mass changes, was utilized.
