Description

Method for detecting leucine level in cells in real time
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of detection, and particularly relates to a method for detecting the level of leucine in cells in real time.
Background
Amino acids are an important class of compounds in animals, plants and microorganisms, which are the basic units that make up proteins, the latter being the primary contributor to vital activity. Scientific studies have shown that amino acid metabolic abnormalities are associated with a variety of diseases, such as albinism due to tyrosine metabolic abnormalities, phenylketonuria due to phenylalanine metabolic abnormalities, and the like. Therefore, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of free amino acids in organisms is of great importance for understanding the pathological mechanism of diseases.
Traditional amino acid analysis is planar chromatography, which has been replaced with instrumental analysis in recent years. The existing analysis methods mainly comprise an amino acid automatic analyzer method, a gas chromatography method, a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method and a high-performance anion chromatography-integral pulse amperometry method. Among them, the most used is the automatic amino acid analyzer method, and the fastest growing is the high performance liquid chromatography, but since both methods require pre-column or post-column derivatization, the results have a certain error, so the selection of efficient derivatization reagents is the future development direction. The high-efficiency anion chromatography-integral pulse amperometric method can directly analyze amino acid, has the advantages of high resolution, good reproducibility, accurate qualitative and quantitative, lower cost and the like, is applied to a certain degree in recent years, and has bright development prospect.
However, the existing method for analyzing amino acid is mainly instrument analysis, and the detection cost is too high due to the fact that the used instrument has a high manufacturing cost generally. And most amino acids do not contain a chromogenic group, pre-or post-column derivatization is typically required to effect detection of the signal. The mobile phase methanol, acetonitrile and other organic solvents used in high performance liquid chromatography can pollute the environment. And the instrument analysis generally requires that the concentration of the sample reach the detection limit, the required concentration of the sample is relatively high (40 OD), and the requirement on the quality of the sample is relatively high.

Times.7 yeast cells).
Example 4: sensitivity of pr-LEU4-GFP plasmid to leucine concentration variation
Yeast sampling
1. Shaking: BY4741 strain transferred with pr-LEU4-GFP plasmid is inoculated in a 12mL culture tube, 7mL CSH-Ura liquid culture medium is added into the culture tube, and the culture is carried out at 30 ℃ and 280rpm for 14-16 h.

After 3.1h, the OD of the yeast liquid was measured separately 600 Values, and recorded. 3 parts of 2OD bacterial solutions are respectively taken from each tube, centrifuged at 13000rpm for 1min, the supernatant is discarded, 1 part of the bacterial solutions are stored in a refrigerator at the temperature of minus 20 ℃ as a 0h sample, the rest 6 parts of the 2OD bacterial solutions are mixed together, and 8mL of CSH-Ura, CSH-Ura-30% Leu, CSH-Ura-20% Leu and CSH-Ura-10% Leu are respectively used for continuous culture for 6h.
4. OD of each tube of bacterial liquid was measured at 3 rd and 6h, respectively 600 And recorded. 2OD of bacterial liquid is taken from each tube, centrifuged at 13000rpm for 1min, and the supernatant is discarded. Samples 3 and 6h were obtained.
(II) sample preparation and Western blot were as in example 2.
FIG. 4 shows the sensitivity of pr-LEU4-GFP plasmid to leucine concentration changes using BY4741 strain design experiments transformed with pr-LEU4-GFP plasmid. Taking CSH-Ura as a control group, taking CSH-Ura-30% Leu, CSH-Ura-20% Leu and CSH-Ura-10% Leu as experimental groups, examining the expression amount of GFP in cells of 0, 3 and 6h, it can be seen that when the leucine concentration is reduced to 20% of the control group, the expression amount of GFP is obviously increased, and the lower the leucine concentration is, the higher the expression amount of GFP is.
FIG. 5 shows the concentration of intracellular leucine measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) by the company Pa Mi Nuoke, suzhou. The concentration of intracellular leucine was determined 3h in CSH-20% Leu, CSH-10% Leu, BY BY4741 strain experiments. It can be seen that the difference between the two groups is not significant. However, if we used this method, the lower the leucine concentration, the higher the GFP expression level, and the more likely it was to reflect a slight difference in the change in leucine concentration.
Regarding the detection limit of this method, it is known from the existing experimental results that the lower the leucine concentration is, the stronger the GFP signal is, and the theoretical detection limit can be made infinitely low. In general, to measure the concentration of a substance by using high performance liquid chromatography, it is necessary that the concentration of the substance in a sample reaches a detection limit, and the substance cannot be detected if the concentration is not reached, but our method is more sensitive to low concentration reaction and is a supplement to the conventional method.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that it should be understood by those skilled in the art that several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.

Claims (9)

1. The biosensor for detecting the intracellular leucine level in real time is characterized by comprising a promoter of an expression gene LEU4 of alpha-isopropyl propionate synthase II and a fluorescent protein gene expressed by the promoter, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the promoter is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1.
2. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the fluorescent protein gene is a green fluorescent protein gene.
3. The biosensor of claim 2, wherein the green fluorescent protein gene is an enhanced green fluorescent protein gene ygfp.
4. The biosensor of claim 1, wherein the promoter and fluorescent protein gene are located on the vector Ycplac 33.
5. The recombinant plasmid for detecting the intracellular leucine level in real time is characterized by comprising a promoter of an expression gene LEU4 of alpha-isopropyl propionate synthase II and a fluorescent protein gene which is expressed by the promoter, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the promoter is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1.
6. The recombinant plasmid according to claim 5, wherein the recombinant plasmid uses Ycplac33 as a vector.
7. A method for detecting the level of leucine in a cell in real time, which comprises transferring the biosensor according to any one of claims 1 to 3 into a cell producing leucine, and detecting the change in the level of leucine in the cell by detecting the expression level of fluorescent protein in the cell.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the cells are s.cerevisiae cells.
9. The method of claim 7, wherein the expression level of the fluorescent protein is detected by western blotting.
