Microelectrophoresis of a bilayer-coated silica bead in an optical trap: application to enzymology

Biophysical Journal
R GalnederS McLaughlin

Abstract

We describe an apparatus that combines microelectrophoresis and laser trap technologies to monitor the activity of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C-delta1 (PLC-delta) on a single bilayer-coated silica bead with a time resolution of approximately 1 s. A 1-microm-diameter bead was coated with a phospholipid bilayer composed of electrically neutral phosphatidylcholine (PC) and negatively charged phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (2% PIP2) and captured in a laser trap. When an AC field was applied (160 Hz, 20 V/cm), the electrophoretic force produced a displacement of the bead, Delta(x), from its equilibrium position in the trap; Delta(x), which was measured using a fast quadrant diode detector, is proportional to the zeta potential and thus to the number of PIP2 molecules on the outer leaflet (initially, approximately 10(5)). When a solution containing PLC-delta flows past the bead, the enzyme adsorbs to the surface and hydrolyzes PIP2 to form the neutral lipid diacylglycerol. We observed a nonexponential decay of PIP2 on the bead with time that is consistent with a model based on the known structural properties of PLC-delta.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
