Development of Mercury Sensor Using FMN-Based Fluorescent Proteins |
초록 |
Bacterial light-oxygen-voltage-sensing photoreceptor-derived flavin mononucleotide (FMN)- based fluorescent proteins act as a promising distinct class of fluorescent proteins utilized for various biomedical and biotechnological applications. The key property of its independency towards oxygen for its chromophore maturation has greatly helped this protein to outperform the other fluorescent proteins such as GFP and DsRed for anaerobic applications. In the present study, we demonstrated the mercury-sensing ability of FbFP protein and the possible amino acids responsible for metal binding. A ratiometric approach was employed here in order to exploit the fluorescence changes observed at two different emission maxima with respect to Hg(2+) at micromolar concentration. The engineered variant FbFPC56I showed high sensitivity towards Hg(2+) and followed a good linear relationship from 0.1 to 3 µM of Hg(2+). Thus, further engineering with a rational approach would enable the FbFP to be developed as a novel and highly selective and sensitive biosensor for other toxic heavy metal ions as well. |
