A flow injection analysis (FIA) system for biochemical assays using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) in the millisecond time scale was developed. As a model system, we studied a kinase assay, measuring the phosphorylation of poly(GT)-biotin (substrate) by a receptor tyrosine kinase (epidermal growth factor receptor). A streptavidin labeled with XL665 (SA-XL665)-the acceptor-was coupled to the biotin moiety, and an antiphosphotyrosine antibody labeled with europium cryptate (Ab-EuK)-the donor-was coupled to the phosphorylated tyrosine group(s). Long-lived FRET can only occur if the substrate is successfully phosphorylated. For the time-resolved detection of such long-lived luminescence phenomena in a flow system, the repetition rate of the excitation source plays a crucial role. Good results were obtained for a small-sized commercially available quadrupled Nd:YAG laser emitting at 266 nm with a repetition rate of 7.8 kHz and a pulse width of 0.3 ns. The long-lived emissions of the donor at 625 nm and that of the acceptor at 665 nm were monitored simultaneously with two photomultipliers, using a delay time of 50 micros and a gate time of 75 micros to exclude background fluorescence interferences. In the FIA experiments, the Ab-EuK concentration was 6 nM and the substrate concentration and SA-XL665 concentrations were 7 nM. By monitoring the intensity changes at 625 and 665 nm, the inhibition of tyrosine kinase by tyrphostin AG1478 was studied and an IC(50) value of 5.1 +/- 0.4 nM obtained.
开发了一种用于生化分析的流动注射分析(FIA)系统,该系统在毫秒时间尺度上使用时间分辨荧光共振能量转移(TR-FRET)。作为一个模型系统,我们研究了一种激酶分析,即测量受体酪氨酸激酶(表皮生长因子受体)对聚(GT)-生物素(底物)的磷酸化作用。用XL665标记的链霉亲和素(SA-XL665)——受体——与生物素部分偶联,用铕穴状化合物标记的抗磷酸酪氨酸抗体(Ab-EuK)——供体——与磷酸化的酪氨酸基团偶联。只有当底物成功磷酸化时,才会发生长寿命的FRET。对于在流动系统中对这种长寿命发光现象进行时间分辨检测,激发源的重复频率起着至关重要的作用。对于一台小型商用四倍频Nd:YAG激光器,其发射波长为266 nm,重复频率为7.8 kHz,脉冲宽度为0.3 ns,获得了良好的结果。用两个光电倍增管同时监测供体在625 nm处的长寿命发射和受体在665 nm处的长寿命发射,使用50微秒的延迟时间和75微秒的门控时间来排除背景荧光干扰。在FIA实验中,Ab-EuK的浓度为6 nM,底物浓度和SA-XL665的浓度为7 nM。通过监测625和665 nm处的强度变化,研究了酪氨酸激酶抑制剂 tyrphostin AG1478对酪氨酸激酶的抑制作用,并获得了5.1±0.4 nM的IC(50)值。
