Binding of SARS-CoV-2 Structural Proteins to Hemoglobin and Myoglobin Studied by SPR and DR LPG. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:3346. [PMID: 36992057 PMCID: PMC10058041 DOI: 10.3390/s23063346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
One of the first clinical observations related to COVID-19 identified hematological dysfunctions. These were explained by theoretical modeling, which predicted that motifs from SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins could bind to porphyrin. At present, there is very little experimental data that could provide reliable information about possible interactions. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method and double resonance long period grating (DR LPG) were used to identify the binding of S/N protein and the receptor bind domain (RBD) to hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb). SPR transducers were functionalized with Hb and Mb, while LPG transducers, were only with Hb. Ligands were deposited by the matrix-assisted laser evaporation (MAPLE) method, which guarantees maximum interaction specificity. The experiments carried out showed S/N protein binding to Hb and Mb and RBD binding to Hb. Apart from that, they demonstrated that chemically-inactivated virus-like particles (VLPs) interact with Hb. The binding activity of S/N- and RBD proteins was assessed. It was found that protein binding fully inhibited heme functionality. The registered N protein binding to Hb/Mb is the first experimental fact that supports theoretical predictions. This fact suggests another function of this protein, not only binding RNA. The lower RBD binding activity reveals that other functional groups of S protein participate in the interaction. The high-affinity binding of these proteins to Hb provides an excellent opportunity for assessing the effectiveness of inhibitors targeting S/N proteins.

[PMID: 35487015 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.123496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
SPR is a mature optical biosensor technology for detecting biomolecular interactions without fluorescence or enzyme labeling. In this paper, we acquire a sensitive SPR biosensor based on ZnO@Au nanomaterial, and the classical sandwich strategy using biotin-streptavidin for secondary signal amplification system was used to detect human IgG (hIgG). Nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) has the dual characteristics of nanocomposite and traditional zinc oxide, with large specific surface area and high chemical activity. Besides, the gold-coated ZnO nanocrystals improve the optical properties of ZnO and enlarge the loading capacity with better biocompatibility. Therefore, a sensing platform based on PDA-ZnO@Au nanomaterial was constructed on gold film modified with mercaptan. Meanwhile, the biotin-avidin system in SPR sensor field has been rapidly developed and applied. Due to the highly selection of streptavidin (SA) and biotin interact with each other, GNRs-SA-biotin-Ab2 (GSAB-Ab2) were constructed to obtain the secondary enhancement of SPR signal. The influences of experimental conditions were also discussed. With optimal experimental conditions, introducing GSAB-Ab2 conjugate combined with a sandwich format, the resulting SPR biosensor provides a favourable range for hIgG determination of 0.0375-40 μg mL-1. The minimum detection concentration of hIgG that can be obtained by this method is approximately 67-fold lower than the conventional SPR sensor based on gold film. The sensitivity of SPR biosensor is significantly improved in a certain range.
