Ni–nitrilotriacetic acid-modified quantum dots as a site-specific labeling agent of histidine-tagged proteins in live cells

Abstract: Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) functionalized CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were exploited as a site-specific labeling agent of histidine-tagged biomolecules in live cells; the QDs were found to be water-soluble, aggregation free and stable for several months.

“…In the following, larger Au nanoparticles (Brinas et al 2008) and quantum dots (Gupta et al 2008;Kim et al 2008b) have also been modified with NTA-containing ligands, as well as silanized iron oxide nanoparticles (Li et al 2007) by conjugation of amine-containing NTA to carboxylic groups on the particle surface. After loading the NTA groups with bivalent cations, the modified particles could be used for conjugation to proteins with polyhistidine residues.…”

“…Although the NTA groups are first chemically immobilized onto the NPs surface ligands, the binding to peptide is indirect or secondary in this context. The direct benefit of this chemistry is that potentially any peptide containing a His n sequence can be conjugated to any NP functionalized with an NTA group and examples of NP materials thus functionalized to date include Au-NPs [40]; FePt magnetic NPs [37], semiconductor QDs [41], Ni-NPs [42] and Si-NPs [43].…”

“…Because histidine appears in proteins with a relatively lower frequency than, for example, lysine, site-specific fluorescent labeling of polypeptides can be achieved by engineering polyhistidine tag sequences, often of six residues in length, into target polypeptides, as demonstrated in several studies. [13,14] In a recent work, Ma et al characterized a cyclometalated iridiumA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (III) solvento complex as a selective luminogenic probe for histidine-rich proteins and applied it as a dye to the proteins in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE). [15] Herein, we further explore the advantage of this histidine-specific iridiumA…”
