Description

Coronavirus protease activity detection method based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of enzyme activity detection, in particular to a coronavirus protease activity detection method based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
Background
The novel coronaviruses produce two proteases that cleave the viral polyprotein, papain-like (PL)pro) And chymotrypsin-like enzyme(3CLpro). The measurement of the activity of these two proteases currently lacks a universal quantitative detection scheme, although separate methods for their activation have been reported, such as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high pressure liquid chromatography. However, these methods are based on the isolation of peptide fragments after cleavage and are therefore rather cumbersome and non-quantitative and only suitable for end-point analysis, which is not practical if applied to high-throughput screening of compound libraries.
In recent years, the use of fluorescent probes for protease activity measurements has also been described in the literature. Fluorophores, such as 7-amino-4-carbamoylmethylcoumarin (ACC) covalently attached to the terminus of a substrate polypeptide, can be used as reporter groups for proteolysis. However, recognition of these substrates by proteases may be affected because only one side contains the homologous sequence of the native substrate and the other side is replaced by a fluorophore at the site that would otherwise require cleavage. For example, 3CLproThere is a Leu-Gln ↓ Ser-Ala-Gly recognition sequence, where the arrow marks the cleavage site. Although the N-terminal Leu-Gln sequence plays a key role in binding specificity, the C-terminal Ser-Ala-Gly sequence may play an important role in binding affinity and cleavage efficiency. Thus, a substrate whose sequence structure at the cleavage site is disrupted may not be cleaved as efficiently as a substrate comprising the complete recognition sequence.
