摘要: Abstract We report the design of robust sensors for measuring intracellular pH, based on native DNA i-motifs (iMs) found in neurodegeneration- or carcinogenesis-related genes. Those iMs appear to be genomic regulatory elements and might modulate transcription response pH stimuli. Given their intrinsic sensitivity minor changes within physiological range, such noncanonical structures can used as sensor core without additional modules other than fluorescent labels quenchers. focused several that exhibited fast folding/unfolding kinetics. Using stopped-flow techniques FRET-melting/annealing assays, we confirmed rates temperature-driven iM-ssDNA transitions correlate with pH-driven transitions. Thus, propose FRET-based hysteresis analysis an express method selecting desired kinetic characteristics. For leading fast-response sensor, optimized labelling scheme performed calibration. Unlike commonly small-molecule indicators, was transferred efficiently cell nuclei. Considering its favourable characteristics, monitoring proton dynamics nucleus. These results argue ‘genome-inspired’ is a productive approach development biocompatible molecular tools.
