Lanthanide-dependent RNA-cleaving DNAzymes as metal biosensors

Abstract: Lanthanides represent a group of very important but challenging analytes for biosensor development. These 15 elements are very similar in their chemical properties. So far, limited success has been realized using the rational ligand design approach. My laboratory has successfully accomplished the task of carrying out combinatorial selection to isolate lanthanide-dependent RNA-cleaving DNAzymes. We report two new DNAzymes, each discovered in a different selection condition and both are highly specific to lantha… Show more

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] RNA-cleaving DNAzymes are particularly interesting since they can achieve extremely high metal sensitivity and are versatile in biosensor design. 11,12 DNAzymes are DNAbased catalysts isolated using in vitro selection. 13 They often recruit divalent metals for catalysis, and in vitro selections can be intentionally performed to evolve DNAzymes that work only in the presence of specific metals.…”

“…[31] Recently, progressw as also made for monovalentN a + [32,33] and Ag + , [34] and trivalent lanthanide ions. [35][36][37][38] The interaction between chromiuma nd DNA was studied mainly in biological systems. For example, chromium(VI) crosslinks DNA in rats and in cultured cells, although it has little interactionw ith isolatedD NA.…”

“…By using specific metal ions during selection, many DNAzymes have been obtained with high specificityf or Na + , [13,14] Pb 2 + , [15,16] Zn 2 + , [17] Cu 2 + , [18,19] UO 2 2 + , [20] Cd 2 + , [21] Hg 2 + , [22] and trivalentl anthanides. [23][24][25][26][27] In principle, the metal specificity is associated with am etal-binding site, however it is quite challenging to extract aptamer motifs from DNAzymes.…”
