摘 要:Aim:To develop a high-throughput real-time assay based on molecular beaconsto monitor the integrase 3’-processing reaction in vitro and apply it to ***:The recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1integrase (IN) is incubated with a 38 mer oligonucleotide substrate,a sequenceidentical to the U5 end of HIV-1 long terminal repeats (LTR).Based on the fluores-cence properties of molecular beacons,the substrate is designed to form a stem-loop structure labeled with a fluorophore at the 5’ end and a quencher at the 3’ *** cleaves the terminal 3’-dinucleotide containing the quencher,resulting in anincrease in fluorescence which can be monitored on a *** this assay,tests were performed to investigate the effects of substrates,enzyme and the metal ion concentrations on the IN activity and optimal param-eters were ***,2 IN inhibitors were employed to test the perfor-mance of this assay in antiviral compound ***:The fluorescentintensity of the reaction mixture varies linearly with time and is proportional to thevelocity of the 3’-processing *** were performed and the results showedthat the optimal rate was obtained for a reaction mixture containing 50 mg/L recom-binant HIV-1 IN,400 nmol/L substrate,and 10 mmol/L Mn2+.The IN 3’-processingreaction under the optimal conditions showed a more than 18-fold increase in thefluorescence intensity compared to the enzyme-free *** IC50values ofthe IN inhibitors obtained in our assay were similar to the values obtained from aradiolabeled substrate ***:Our results demonstrated that this is afast,reliable,and sensitive method to monitor HIV IN 3’-processing reaction andthat it can be used for inhibitor screening.
