Problems solved by technology

In fact, whether HPLC or LC-MS / MS is used to determine the content of SAH or methylated products, it is very inaccurate for evaluating MT activity.
HPLC and LC-MS / MS samples need special treatment. After a long time and many steps, SAH or methylated products will inevitably be lost. In addition, the products of the synthesis reaction may be unstable or even degrade in a short time. If it is not detected in time, it will cause the deviation of the detection value
All of these factors can make the measured values ​​very inaccurate, let alone trying to reflect the kinetic reaction of the enzyme
[0014] As for the multi-enzyme cycle method, two or more enzyme reactions are often involved, the process is complicated, and there are many influencing factors, and the detection method requires the use of large and expensive instruments such as biochemical analyzers

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measuring the activity of transmethylase in real time and a kit. The method comprises two reactions carried out at the same time in a reaction system; according to the first reaction, in a buffer system where it is guaranteed that S-ademetionine is adopted as a methyl donor and the transmethylase has the biological activity, a sample containing the transmethylase (MT), the methyl donor and a corresponding substrate are added, or the S-ademetionine methyl donor and the corresponding substrate are directly added into the liquid sample containing the transmethylase, and a reaction is carried out so that an S-adellosyl homocysteine (SAH) product can be generated, wherein the substrate is receptor matter of methyl; according to the second reaction, an immunological method is adopted for detecting the content of SAH to determine the activity of the transmethylase in the reaction system. The biochemical reaction of MT catalysis and the immunoreactions for measuring the product SAH are carried out at the same time, the two processes are organically combined, and great significance is especially achieved on accurate measurement of SAH with extremely unstable molecularity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of methyltransferase detection, in particular to a method for real-time determination of the biological activity of methyltransferase using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor and a detection kit. Background technique [0002] Methyltransferase (Methyltransferase, MT) is a class of enzymes that catalyze methylation reactions, and generally uses S-adenosyl methionine (S-Adenosyl Methionine, SAM) as a methyl donor. Methylation reactions widely exist in organisms, and their substrate range covers almost all biologically active molecules in cells, including nucleic acids, proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and many small molecules. Therefore, many important physiological links such as gene expression Inhibition or shutdown, repair of DNA damage, and synthesis and degradation of intermediates in physiological processes in microorganisms, animals and plants are all involved in the regulation of MT.
