Label-free colorimetric assay for methyltransferase activity based on a novel methylation-responsive DNAzyme strategy.
DNA methylation catalyzed by methyltransferase (MTase) is a significant epigenetic process for modulating gene expression. Traditional methods to study MTase activity require a laborious and costly DNA labeling process. In this article, we report a simple, colorimetric, and label-free methylation-responsive DNAzyme (MR-DNAzyme) strategy for MTase activity analysis. This new strategy relies on h...
متن کاملMoS2 nanosheets as an effective fluorescence quencher for DNA methyltransferase activity detection.
As one of the inorganic graphene analogues, two dimensional MoS2 nanosheets have been drawing extensive attention in the past few years due to their remarkable structural and electronic properties. Herein, a simple signal-on fluorescence DNA methyltransferase (MTase) activity assay using a MoS2 nanosheet mediated fluorescence quenching strategy is described. Briefly, substrate DNA is designed t...
متن کاملMicroarray-based resonance light scattering assay for detecting DNA methylation and human DNA methyltransferase simultaneously with high sensitivity.
A microarray-based resonance light scattering assay, with the combination of methylation-sensitive endonuclease and gold nanoparticle (GNP) probes, has been proposed to sensitively distinguish the DNA methylation level as low as 0.01% (10 pM methylated DNA in 100 nM total DNA) and detect human DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1) down to 0.1 U mL(-1).
متن کاملMethylation-blocked enzymatic recycling amplification for highly sensitive fluorescence sensing of DNA methyltransferase activity.
Herein, using DNA adenine methylation (Dam) methyltransferase (MTase) as a model analyte, a novel fluorescence sensing strategy was developed for facile, rapid and highly sensitive detection of the activity and inhibition of the target based on methylation-blocked enzymatic recycling amplification. In this sensing system, nicking endonuclease Nt.AlwI with the methylation-sensitive property was ...
متن کاملO-11: N-a-acetyltransferase 10 Protein Regulates DNA Methylation and Embryonic Development
Background Genomic imprinting is a heritable and developmentally essential phenomenon by which gene expression occurs in an allele-specific manner1. While the imprinted alleles are primarily silenced by DNA methylation, it remains largely unknown how methylation is targeted to imprinting control region (ICR), also called differentially methylated region (DMR), and maintained. Here we show that ...
