Type IB phosphoinositide 3OH-kinase (PI3K) is activated by G-protein βγ subunits (Gβγs). The enzyme is soluble and largely cytosolic in vivo. Its substrate, PtdIns(4,5)P2, and the Gβγs are localized at the plasma membrane. We have addressed the mechanism by which Gβγs regulate the PI3K using an in vitro approach. We used sedimentation assays and surface plasmon resonance to determine association of type IB PI3K with lipid monolayers and vesicles of varying compositions, some of which had Gβγs incorporated. Association and dissociation rate constants were determined. Our results indicated that in an assay situation in vitro the majority of PI3K will be associated with lipid vesicles, irrespective of the presence or absence of Gβγs. In line with this, a constitutively active membrane-targeted PI3K construct could still be activated substantially by Gβγs in vitro. We conclude that Gβγs activate type IB PI3K by a mechanism other than translocation to the plasma membrane.

Two optical methods, namely surface plasmon resonance imaging and frustrated total internal reflection, are described in the paper in terms of comparing their sensitivity to change of refractive index of a thin boundary layer of an investigated medium. It is shown that, despite the fact that the theoretically calculated sensitivity is higher for the frustrated total internal reflection method, and the fact that usually in practice the surface plasmon resonance method, on the contrary, is considered more sensitive, under the same experimental conditions both methods show a similar result.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Quantitative measurement of small-molecule metabolites is now emerging as an effective way to link the metabolite profile to disease state. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a sensing platform that has demonstrated applicability for a large range of biomolecules. However, direct detection of small molecules with SPR challenges the refractive index based detection mechanism. Herein, we utilized an indirect detection format and developed an inhibition immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of 17β-estradiol (E2) using SPR. One competitor, BSA-E2 conjugate, was immobilized to the SPR chip via the reaction between the primary amino group of the conjugate and the succinimide group (NHS) introduced by the formation of a thiol-NHS monolayer on gold surface. Free E2 molecules compete with BSA-E2 on chip surface for binding sites provided by a monoclonal anti-E2 antibody. It was found the binding affinity of the antibody to BSA-E2 conjugate increases with decreasing surface coverage of BSA-E2 conjugate. Under optimal conditions, a sigmoidal calibration curve with a negative slope and a dynamic range from 10 pM to 2 nM was generated. The detection limit of the immunoassay is estimated to be 0.3 pM. Moreover, the immunoassay exhibits high specificity for E2 detection using estrone (E1) as a potential interference.</p></div></div></div>
