Abstract
The combination of DNA origami nanostructures and aptamers provides a powerful technology for diagnostic assays. Here, we functionalized a DNA origami nanostructure with a Protein-A binding aptamer to target Staphylococcus aureus bacterial cells. Using an enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay (ELONA), we semi-quantitatively analyzed and compared the interaction of the aptamer and aptamer-modified DNA origamis with Staphylococcus aureus bacterial isolates. The results showed that aptamer-functionalized DNA nanostructures bind with five times higher affinity (KD: 34 ± 5 nM) compared to the aptamer alone (KD: 160 ± 9 nM). Visualising the interaction of bacterial cells and nanostructures with electron cryotomography further confirmed the aptamer-mediated specific interaction of DNA nanostructures with bacterial cells.
DNA 折纸纳米结构与适配体的结合为诊断分析提供了一种强大的技术。在这里,我们将 DNA 折纸纳米结构与蛋白-A 结合适配体功能化,以金黄色葡萄球菌细菌细胞为靶标。我们使用酶联寡核苷酸测定法(ELONA)半定量地分析和比较了适配体和适配体修饰的DNA折纸与金黄色葡萄球菌细菌分离物的相互作用。结果表明,与单独的适配体(KD:160 ± 9 nM)相比,适配体功能化 DNA 纳米结构的结合亲和力(KD:34 ± 5 nM)高出五倍。利用电子冷冻成像技术观察细菌细胞与纳米结构的相互作用,进一步证实了由适配体介导的 DNA 纳米结构与细菌细胞的特异性相互作用。
