A Universal Method for the Preparation of Covalent Protein–DNA Conjugates for Use in Creating Protein Nanostructures

Abstract: DNA has numerous attractive features as a scaffold for nanostructure assembly. Its rigidity, predictable structure, and assembly through complementary hybridization allow DNA to form nanoscale architectures such as cubes, [1] tetrahedra, [2] octahedra, [3,4] and 2D arrays. [5][6][7][8] By introducing proteins into DNA nanostructures, the recognition elements and functionalities that are inherent in proteins can be organized into nanostructured motifs. DNA-scaffolded protein assemblies have been used in immuno-… Show more

“…[11] Since enzymatic labeling of DNA with target proteins has clear advantages with respect to site-specificity and protein-friendly reaction conditions, several enzymes that post-translationally modify proteins have been exploited. [12][13][14] However, the majority of previous research, including our efforts, [12] have focused on the preparation of DNA-protein conjugates with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The present study has focused on a DNA-(protein) n conjugate with 1:n stoichiometry.…”

“…[8] Several methods for making covalent DNA-protein linkages have been developed, including bifunctional crosslinkers, [8,9] disulfide bonds [10] and click chemistry. [3] A methyltransferase can be used to form an abortive covalent complex with a modified base. [11] Cysteinemodified DNA oligomers can be coupled to recombinant intein-fusion proteins by expressed protein ligation.…”

“…Incorporation of proteins into these nanostructures is a promising way to increase their functionality: DNA structures have been used to arrange protein molecules in one, [1] two [2] or three dimensions [3] and to encapsulate them. [4] Other applications of DNA-protein conjugation include the formation of functional enzyme complexes, [5] fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) systems, [6] sensitive detection by immuno-PCR [7] and the construction of protein or peptide arrays by hybridization to surface-bound DNA probes.…”

“…To this tag the authors specifically attached an azide-modified isoprenoid diphosphate 1 with the help of the enzyme farnesyltransferase (PFTase, Scheme 2). [22] The obtained azide-bearing protein was then treated with a single-stranded oligonucleotide (ssODN) carrying an alkyne attached to a 5'-terminal phosphate group. To test whether the DNA sequence can still be addressed despite the presence of the protein, a counter strand containing a Texas Red label was successfully hybridized to the DNA strand attached to the protein.…”
