Problems solved by technology

At present, bioluminescent sensing technology has been successfully applied to the detection of biomarkers such as proteins and cells, but its application in the detection of nucleic acid markers such as microRNAs is still very limited.
The main reason for the above problems is that luciferase, which produces bioluminescence, cannot directly respond to changes in nucleic acid content and structure in real time and accurately.
The above problems restrict the application of bioluminescence in the detection of nucleic acid markers

Abstract

The invention relates to a modified luciferase mutant protein, a bioluminescent probe, a probe group, a preparation method and a detection method, and belongs to the technical field of molecular biology. The amino acid sequence of the modified luciferase mutant protein provided by the invention is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The modified luciferase mutant protein provided by the invention is obtained by mutating cysteine at the 166 site of luciferase protein into serine and adding cysteine at the C-terminal of luciferase, and controllable and equal-proportion covalent coupling of the luciferase protein and DNA molecules is realized by modifying the luciferase protein. Therefore, the high-signal-to-noise-ratio bioluminescence probe capable of responding to nucleic acid is constructed, accurate sensing of nucleic acid molecules is realized, and the problem that a bioluminescence sensing technology is difficult to apply to the nucleic acid molecules is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and in particular relates to a modified luciferase mutant protein, a bioluminescence probe, a probe group, a preparation method and a detection method. Background technique [0002] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNA molecules with a length ranging from 22 to 25 nt. They not only participate in important biological processes such as cell differentiation, but also are key marker molecules for major diseases such as tumors. At present, miRNAs detection methods based on sensing principles such as electrochemistry, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence have been established. However, the existing methods still have the problems of cumbersome operation, susceptibility to environmental factors, and high cost of detection equipment. [0003] Compared with traditional detection technologies, bioluminescent sensing has the advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio, low phototoxicity, and ...
