Embodiment 1

[0059] Example 1: Peptostreptococcus protein L (PpL) for binding to indicator components at specific sites Modification

[0060] The PpL B1 domain of Peptostreptococcus major has two binding sites for the Ig kappa light chain, which correspond to the two ends of the beta sheet [Svensson et al. 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference]( Figure 14 ). To form the desired 1:1 ratio of PpL / Ig-κ complexes (as shown in Figure 2), a combination of site-directed mutagenesis and biotin / streptavidin (SA)-mediated protein assembly, was used To block the binding site 1 of Ig-κ. A20C variation can be achieved by site-directed mutagenesis as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Primer: 5'-TTCCTTTGAATTCGCAAGTTTGTGTGGATCCATTTGC-3') was introduced into the PpLB1 domain containing the Y47W variation (SEQ. ID NO: 1 and 6, provided by Drs. Ulf Sjobring and David Baker). The primer introduces a single cysteine ​​in the center of position 1 [Svensson et al. 200...

Embodiment 2

[0061] Example 2: Modification of Peptostreptococcus protein L (PpL) for covalent attachment to an affinity group decorated

[0062] In order to enable the covalent binding of the PpL B1 domain to the light chain variable region of Igκ, a non-natural photocrosslinking amino acid residue (p-benzoyl-L-phenyl alanine or Bpa) was introduced into a His-tagged PpL B1 domain mutant (Example 1), using an engineered orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase / tRNA pair corresponding to the amber codon TAG to convert Bpa in vivo Synthesized into Escherichia coli proteins [Chin et al. into this article]. In the PpL B1 domain structure close to its two binding sites, T39( Figure 14 A is marked in pink) and K41 (in Figure 14 Marked in cyan in B) are where the binding sites 1 and 2 were mutated to Bpa, respectively. For the introduction of Bpa, two plasmids were used: (1) a p15A-based plasmid (pDULE), expressing an orthogonal tRNA and synthetase pair (obtained from Dr. Peter Schultz), an...

Embodiment 3

[0063] Example 3: Attachment of Indicator Components to Modified PpL B1 Molecules

[0064] PpL B1 mutants (Example 1, Example 2) with a biotinylated histidine tag were immobilized in a Ni-NTA column, and fluorophore-labeled streptavidin (SA) was pumped through the column to form a 1:1 complex with the PpL mutant. The protein complexes formed on the column were then washed with imidazole, dialyzed to remove leachable nickel ions and excess imidazole, and subjected to gel filtration chromatography for further purification and analysis to examine their molecular size distribution. In this approach, isolated tubes of PpL B1 domain molecules can be individually labeled to create a variety of adapters for use in assays of the invention.

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and compositions to detect analytes in a sample using antibody molecules that are transformed into nanoscale ''self-signaling'' biosensors. It relates in particular to those methods and compositions that provide for single-step detection of target analytes without the need for labor-intensive steps necessary in conventional assays.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 683,921, filed May 23, 2005, and US Provisional Application No. 60 / 778,991, filed March 1, 2006. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and compositions for detecting analytes in samples using antibody molecules converted into nanoscale "spontaneous signaling" biosensors, particularly those that provide one-step detection of target analytes without the need for traditional assays Methods and compositions that necessitate labor-intensive steps. Background technique [0004] Immunoassays are based on specific interactions between antibodies and antigens. They are often indispensable in modern clinical diagnostics, drug screening tests and medical research. Among these immunoassays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), lateral flow immunoassay, and western blot assay are the most widely used. ELISA and Western b...
