X Abstract

A molecular-beacon-type riboregulator (mRNA) was applied to multiply catalytic gene sensing. It consists of a reporter gene for firefly protein luciferase and, upstream thereof, a regulator hairpin domain composed of an RBS/anti-RBS stem (RBS = ribosome binding site) and a loop which is complementary to the target. The hairpin and, hence, the RBS are rendered open upon binding of a target oligonucleotide of the human CC chemokine receptor 5 sequence in a prokaryotic cell-free translation system (10 $μ$L) to ignite ribosomal catalytic translation, or transcription/translation when using a DNA form of the probe, to produce luciferase, which is assayed by a catalytic chemiluminescence reaction. The sensing, using an unmodified RNA or even dsDNA as a probe with a chemiluminescence output, is thus doubly catalytic or amplifiable with a sensitivity at <=50 fmol in respect to the target with 4.5 fmol (1 ng/$μ$L) of probe and a single nucleotide resolution.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
