BUSM MS Resources进行原子力显微镜,以补充对单个高分子量生物聚合物的质谱学研究,包括蛋白多糖、胶原蛋白和具有胶原型结构域的分子,以及其他含有高水平糖基化的蛋白质,以及非共价复合体。原子力显微镜正被用来估计这些物种的总重量和模数组成,其基础是对质谱学可获得的范围内的校准曲线进行外推。本项目的目的是使用原子力显微镜快速估计大分子和络合物的相对分子质量,作为高分子量范围内的质谱分析的补充工具。这是通过使用AFM测量已知相对分子质量的单分子的分子体积作为标准,使用不同相对分子质量的生物聚合物标准来外推曲线,并确定分子体积与相对分子质量的关系。原子力显微镜也被用来表征淀粉样纤维,目的是将纤维特性与氨基酸序列的变化和组成蛋白的翻译后修饰联系起来。通过使用纯化的患者样本和重组淀粉样蛋白,在这一开发项目和几个合作项目(例如,Nugent、Skinner、Trinkaus-Randall)中,都监测了不同条件下淀粉样纤维的形成以及蛋白质/GAG相互作用。还记录了从死于原发淀粉样病的患者的器官组织中获得的淀粉样纤维的AFM图像。描述最新结果的手稿将很快提交。为了提高原子力显微镜测量的分辨率,人们正在探索碳纳米管的使用,并建造了一种安装碳纳米管的装置并进行了测试。
仪器的日常操作、维护和监督由洪博士负责,他在波士顿大学系完成了博士学位。细胞生物物理学,重点是粘蛋白的原子力显微镜研究。丁博士在β-淀粉样蛋白和突触核蛋白淀粉样纤维以及各种大分子的原子力显微镜方面拥有丰富的经验,他帮助规划了这个项目,并继续为BUSM的调查人员提供建议和协助。尽管他已经搬到了北卡罗来纳州,但他仍然保持着电子邮件和电话联系。
英文摘要
This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the
resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and
investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,
and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is
for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.
The BUSM MS Resource carries out atomic force microscopy to complement mass spectrometry studies of individual biopolymers of high molecular weight, including, e.g., proteoglycans, collagens and molecules having collagen-type domains, and other proteins that contain high levels of glycosylation, as well as non-covalent complexes. AFM is being used to estimate the overall weight and modular composition of such species, on the basis of extrapolations of calibration curves over the range accessible by mass spectrometry. The aim of this project is to use AFM to quickly estimate the MWs of large molecules and complexes as a supplemental tool for mass spectrometry in the high molecular weight range. This is achieved by using AFM to measure the molecular volume of single molecules of known MW as standards, extrapolating a curve using biopolymer standards at different MW, and determining the relation between molecular volume and MW. AFM is also being used to characterize amyloid fibrils, with the goal of relating fibril properties to variations in the amino acid sequence and to posttranslational modifications of the constituent proteins. By using purified patient samples as well as recombinant amyloid proteins, the formation of amyloid fibrils under different conditions and protein/GAG interactions is monitored in both this development project and in several collaborative projects (e.g., Nugent, Skinner, Trinkaus-Randall). AFM images have also been recorded for amyloid fibrils obtained from organ tissues of patients who have succumbed to primary amyloid disease. A manuscript describing recent results will be submitted shortly. To improve resolution in AFM measurements, the use of carbon nanotubes is being explored and a device for mounting the tubes has been constructed and tested.
Day-to-day operation, maintenance and supervision of the instrument are the responsibility of Dr. Hong, who completed his PhD in the Boston University Dept. of Cellular Biophysics with a focus on AFM studies of mucins. Dr. Ding, who has extensive experience in AFM of beta-amyloid and synuclein amyloid fibrils and various types of macromolecules, helped in the planning for this project and continues to provide advice and assistance to the BUSM investigators. Although he has relocated to North Carolina, he remains in email and phone contact.
