  • ANS is known to be a polarity-sensitive fluorophore which displays an increased quantum yield in low polarity environments. Weber, G. (1951). Biochem J. 51 :155-167; Slavik, J. (1982). Biochim. Biophys. Acta 694:1-25. Additionally, ANS frequently binds to proteins with an increase in intensity. We examined the effects of GD on the emission intensity of ANS. A moderate enhancement was found but the ANS intensity remained low compared to other ANS-protein complexes. Also, addition of glucose to this GD-ANS complex did not change upon addition of glucose.
  • thermophilic protein is a thermophilic protein and can be expected to be rigid under mesophilic conditions.
  • thermophilic proteins often display increased activity at higher temperatures or the presence of non-polar solvents (D'Auria, S., et al. (1999) Biophys. Chem 81, 23-31; D'Auria, S., et al. (1999) J. Biochem. 126, 545-552) which are conditions expected to increase the protein dynamics.
  • Addition of acetone to the solution containing ANS and GD resulted in a dramatic increase in the ANS intensity, ( Figure 8), as well as in a blue-shift of the emission maximum.
  • Addition of similar amounts of acetone to ANS in the absence of the protein produced modest fluorescence increase.
  • the increase in the ANS intensity reflects a change in the local protein environment which is due to acetone.
  • Figure 12 shows the emission polarized spectra of ANS-GD at various concentrations of glucose. The polarization decreases at higher glucose concentrations because the emission from this solution is observed through the horizontal polarizer.
  • acetone may be eliminated by selecting proteins which are less thermophilic.
  • the proteins can be engineered for covalent labeling by insertion of cysteine residues at appropriate locations in the sequence.
  • the glucose induced spectral changes may be larger with other polarity sensitive probes or by the use of RET between two fluorophores on the protein.
  • apo-enzymes are found to be a valuable source of protein sensors.
  • beef heart lactate dehydrogenase, ANS and L-lactate were obtained from Sigma. Lactate dehydrogenase was extensively dialyzed against mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0 at 4°C. After dialysis the enzyme solution was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 30 min at 4°C and the supernatant was recovered. The supernatant was filtered by utilizing an inorganic membrane filter, Anotop 10 (Whatman). The obtained enzyme solution represents the starting material for the fluorescence measurements. For all fluorescence measurements the final concentrations of ANS and lactate dehydrogenase were 4 ⁇ M and 3 ⁇ M, respectively.

  • Figure 14 shows the intrinsic tryptophan emission of ANS-coupled lactate dehydrogenase. Addition of micromolar concentrations of lactate resulted in an approximate 30% decrease in the tryptophan intensity, consistent with an earlier report on the C isozyme of lactate dehydrogenase. Gupta, G. S., et al. (1997) Indian J. of Biochemistry & Biophysics 34:307-312. An increase of lactate concentration over 200 ⁇ M does not introduce further changes in fluorescence intensity. Thus, the enzyme is mostly saturated by 200 ⁇ M lactate. As shown in Figure 15 and Table 2, lactate binding did not significantly change nor affect the mean lifetime, intensity-weighted lifetime or intensity decay of lactate dehydrogenase.

  • the emission intensity of ANS solution with lactate dehydrogenase was about 30-fold higher and displayed a blue shift from 525 to 465 nm.
  • ANS concentrations significantly higher than the lactate dehydrogenase concentration did not appear to bind to lactate dehydrogenase.
  • Others have reported that tetrameric lactate dehydrogenase binds 4 to 6 ANS molecules, and further addition of ANS does not result in further ANS binding. Kube, D. et al.

  • This reference is observed through a vertically oriented polarizer.
  • the sample contains ANS-lactate dehydrogenase and various concentrations of lactate, and is observed through a horizontally oriented polarizer.
  • the emission from both sides of the sensor is then observed through an analyzer polarizer.
  • the analyzer polarizer is rotated until the emission from both sides is equalized, which can be measured visually (Gryczynski, I., et al. (1999) Anal.

  • the total intensity change -40% (n-1.7) the change in compensation angle was about 6° for the entire range of lactate concentrations. While the range seems small, the compensation angles are readily measured to about 0.1 degrees, so that a 6° change corresponds to an accuracy of 2% in the lactate concentration.
  • the device shown in Figure 19 was battery powered and could be easily designed as a portable instrument for bedside use.
  • the simulations in Figure 19 are for intensity changes comparably to those observed for ANS-lactate dehydrogenase.

  • This apparatus uses, in its preferred embodiment, polarization sensing to quantify the amount of lactate present in the sample.
  • Other types of sensors can be used which can use various fluorescence measurements including emission intensity, emission maxima, spectral shift, wavelength-ratio, energy transfer and lifetime.
