Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure: Two-dimensionally crystall-ized macromolecular films are built up with the aid of a lipid monofilm carrying biotin units.

Description

2031~
O.Z. 0050/41278 Two-dimensionally crystallized macromolecular fllms The present invention relates to two-dimension-ally crystallized macromolecular films which have been produced with the assistance of a lipid monofilm carrying 5biotin units.
The formation of crystalline films of natural macromolecules, espe~ially of proteins, i8 of particular interest. Such films allow investigations of the struc-ture of these substances, the possibility of analysis of 10structural relations between ~he molecules and, in some cases, ~he development of novsl applications. However, it is precisely the interesting protein~ which do not naturally form crystals suitable for analysisO Hence there has been no lack of attempts to generate crystal-15lized protein ilms. Thus, Uzigiris ~ Kornberg (Nature 301 (1983) 125-129) have reported a method for forming two-dimensional protein films on lipid films. This method allows specific binding of proteins to natural or syn-thetic lipid ligands present in the planar lipid film.
20However, despite the preparation of a num~ar of crystal-lized protein films, the disadvantage was that a specific lipid ligand, and thus a protein-antigen con~ugate, must be available for each protein. In this connection the formation of specific protein films, those of strep-25tavidin, u~ing this technique was also proposed. For this purpose, the lipid intended for ~he lipid film was provided wi.th a biotin ligand so that, because of the particularly high affinity of biotin for streptavidin~
the streptavidin molecule~ are able to attach themselves 30to the biotin ligands in the lipid film and form a two-dimensionally crystallized streptavidin film in the water/air transition zone. Direct inspection of such films is pos-~ible using fluorescence microscopy, and the crystalline nature can be determined by electron micro-35scopy (Blankenburg et al., Biochemistry 28 (1989) 8214).
It is an object of the present in~ention to prepare crystallized macromolecular films which have not .: . ~ -' ' ' ' :

, :.................... - : , 203~2~
, - 2 - o.Z~ 0050/41278 been obtainable to date in a 3traightforward manner.
We have found that thi~ obiect i~ achieved by two-dimensionally cry3tallized macromolecular film~ which are compo~ed of a first lipid monofilm carrying biotin units and of a second film which i9 composed of strepta-vidin and attache~ itself to the biotin units and cry~tallizes, and of a film which is composed of a biotinylated macromolecula and is built up over the free active centers of the streptavidin film.
~hu~, these crystallized macromolecular films are composed of biotinylated macromolecules which are bound to the streptavidin film. In another embodiment of the films according to the invention the binding is achieved indirectly via a low molecular weight or pol~meric biotin ligand molecule. The crystalli~ation of the second macromolecular film is induced both by the receptor affinity binding and by the ordering of the streptavidin film which i~ already present.
In a particular embodiment of the films according to the invention the macromolecule~ are composed of proteins.
The first lipid monofilm carrying the biotin units characterizing the crystallized macromolecular films according to the invention is generally composed of the known amino functional lipids.
Examples o~ compounds which have proven particu-larly advantageous ~or the purposes of the present invention are N-biotinyl-S-~1,2-bis(octadecyloxycarbon-yl)ekhyl)cysteine, N-biotinyl-S-(l-carboxy-2-~N,N-diocta-decylaminocarbonyl)ethyl)cysteine, N-biotinoyl-S-1-phos-phatidyl-3-glycero-~n-dimyristoyl, N,N-dioctadecyl-N'-biotinylpropanediamine and N, N-dioctadecyl-biotinamide.
A streptavidin film i~ then attached to this biotinylated lipid film via the specific receptor~.
Streptavidin is a protein which ha~ four identical subunits, each of which i~ able to bind a biotin mole-cule. The non-covalent binding between streptavidin and ...... .

, - 3 - O.Z. 0050/41278 biotin is known to be one of the strongest; the X~ valus is about 1015 mol-l. Thi~ at~achment of the streptavidin to the biotin units of the lipid film result~ in an ordered, two-dimensional film a~ i9 depicted by way of example in Fiyure 1 with (A) = lipid, (B) = biotin and (C) = strep-tavidin. Very large two-dimensional streptavidin regions covering from 50 to 200 ~m are produced in this way. They can be detected by means of fluorescence microscopy.
The attachmen~ of a biotinylated, water-soluble macromolecule, in particular a biotinylated protein, to the free attachment sites of the biotin surfaca is now possible with the depicted surface of the two-dimension-ally crystallized strep~avidin film. The water-soluble macromolecules can be biotinylated poly(meth)acrylate, polylysine, polyvinyl alcohol or dextran. They ~erve to anchor another ligand molecule to the already crystall-ized surface. Proteins, such as biotinylated monoclonal antibodies or enzymes, are able to bind directly to the streptavidin film and be built up in a surprisingly straightforward manner to give crystalli~ed films.
Figures 2 and 3 show the films according to the inven-tion, where X generally represents a macromolecule and the ~quares 0 are intended to represent the protein.
The two-dimensionally crystallized macromolecular film~ built up in this way can be obtained by binding a water-soluble biotin ligand adapter molecule to the streptavidin film and thus maklng new recognition struc-tures available to another protein. It is also possible to bind a water-soluble polymer with biotin and ligand ~tructure~ to the streptavidin film, in exactly the same way as a biotinylated protein can be coupled to the ~treptavidin film. Details of the experimental procedure are to be found, inter alia, in Blankenburg et al., Biochemi~try 28 (1989) 8214.

The crystallized macromolecular film~ according to the invention permit rapid and straightforward pre-paration of samples for investigation of the structure ofthesa macromolecules which are not otherwise obtainable in cry~tallized form. These films are also suitable for monitoring enzymatic reactions when the protein type is coupled with retention of its en7.ymatic activity to the streptavidin film.
