An RNA-Based Fluorescent Biosensor for High-Throughput Analysis of the cGAS-cGAMP-STING Pathway.

Cell chemical biology

Bose D, Su Y, Marcus A, Raulet DH, Hammond MC.
PMID: 27889408
Cell Chem Biol. 2016 Dec 22;23(12):1539-1549. doi: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2016.10.014. Epub 2016 Nov 23.

In mammalian cells, the second messenger (2'-5',3'-5') cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (2',3'-cGAMP), is produced by the cytosolic DNA sensor cGAMP synthase (cGAS), and subsequently bound by the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) to trigger interferon response. Thus, the cGAS-cGAMP-STING...

ACS Cent Sci. 2016 Mar 23;2(3):139-147. doi: 10.1021/acscentsci.5b00340. Epub 2016 Feb 16.

Antibodies are widely used biomarkers for the diagnosis of many diseases. Assays based on solid-phase immobilization of antigens comprise the majority of clinical platforms for antibody detection, but can be undermined by antigen denaturation and epitope masking. These technological...

Synthesis of Cycloprodigiosin Identifies the Natural Isolate as a Scalemic Mixture.

Organic letters

Johnson RE, de Rond T, Lindsay VN, Keasling JD, Sarpong R.
PMID: 26114660
Org Lett. 2015 Jul 17;17(14):3474-7. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.5b01527. Epub 2015 Jun 26.

The enantiomers of the natural product cycloprodigiosin were prepared using an expedient five-step synthetic sequence that takes advantage of a Schöllkopf-Barton-Zard (SBZ) pyrrole annulation with a chiral isocyanoacetate and a nitrocyclohexene derivative. Using chiral HPLC and X-ray crystallographic analyses...

A modular platform to develop peptoid-based selective fluorescent metal sensors.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)

Knight AS, Kulkarni RU, Zhou EY, Franke JM, Miller EW, Francis MB.
PMID: 28272633
Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Mar 25;53(24):3477-3480. doi: 10.1039/c7cc00931c. Epub 2017 Mar 08.

Despite the reduction in industrial use of toxic heavy metals, there remain contaminated natural water sources across the world. Herein we present a modular platform for developing selective sensors for toxic metal ions using N-substituted glycine, or peptoid, oligomers...

Development of Peptoid-Based Ligands for the Removal of Cadmium from Biological Media.

Chemical science

Knight AS, Zhou EY, Francis MB.
PMID: 26918113
Chem Sci. 2015 Jul 01;7(6):4042-4048. doi: 10.1039/C5SC00676G. Epub 2015 May 14.

Cadmium poisoning poses a serious health concern due to cadmium's increasing industrial use, yet there is currently no recommended treatment. The selective coordination of cadmium in a biological environment-i.e. in the presence of serum ions, small molecules, and proteins-is...

Enzyme Activated Gold Nanoparticles for Versatile Site-Selective Bioconjugation.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

Ramsey AV, Bischoff AJ, Francis MB.
PMID: 33939917
J Am Chem Soc. 2021 May 19;143(19):7342-7350. doi: 10.1021/jacs.0c11678. Epub 2021 May 03.

A new enzymatic method is reported for constructing protein- and DNA-AuNP conjugates. The strategy relies on the initial functionalization of AuNPs with phenols, followed by activation with the enzyme tyrosinase. Using an oxidative coupling reaction, the activated phenols are...

Overcoming inefficient cellobiose fermentation by cellobiose phosphorylase in the presence of xylose.

Biotechnology for biofuels

Chomvong K, Kordić V, Li X, Bauer S, Gillespie AE, Ha SJ, Oh EJ, Galazka JM, Jin YS, Cate JH.

Biotechnol Biofuels. 2014 Jun 07;7:85. doi: 10.1186/1754-6834-7-85. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: Cellobiose and xylose co-fermentation holds promise for efficiently producing biofuels from plant biomass. Cellobiose phosphorylase (CBP), an intracellular enzyme generally found in anaerobic bacteria, cleaves cellobiose to glucose and glucose-1-phosphate, providing energetic advantages under the anaerobic conditions required...
