Summary
Aqui, descrevemos uma configuração de pinça magnética de alta velocidade que realiza medições nanomecânicas em biomoléculas sensíveis à força na taxa máxima de 1,2 kHz. Apresentamos sua aplicação a pinos de DNA e complexos SNARE como sistemas modelo, mas também será aplicável a outras moléculas envolvidas em eventos mecanobiológicos.
Abstract
Pinças magnéticas de molécula única (MTs) têm servido como ferramentas poderosas para interrogar com força biomoléculas, como ácidos nucléicos e proteínas, e, portanto, estão prontas para serem úteis no campo da mecanobiologia. Uma vez que o método geralmente se baseia no rastreamento baseado em imagens de esferas magnéticas, o limite de velocidade no registro e análise de imagens, bem como as flutuações térmicas das contas, há muito tempo dificultam sua aplicação na observação de pequenas e rápidas mudanças estruturais em moléculas-alvo. Este artigo descreve métodos detalhados para a construção e operação de uma configuração MT de alta resolução que pode resolver a dinâmica de nanoescala e milissegundos de biomoléculas e seus complexos. Como exemplos de aplicação, experimentos com pinos de cabelo de DNA e complexos SNARE (máquinas de fusão por membrana) são demonstrados, com foco em como seus estados transitórios e transições podem ser detectados na presença de forças em escala de piconewton. Esperamos que as MTs de alta velocidade continuem a permitir medições nanomecânicas de alta precisão em moléculas que detectam, transmitem e geram forças nas células e, assim, aprofundam nossa compreensão em nível molecular da mecanobiologia.
Introduction
As células sentem e respondem ativamente a estímulos mecânicos. Ao fazer isso, muitas biomoléculas exibem propriedades dependentes da força que permitem mudanças estruturais dinâmicas. Exemplos bem apreciados incluem canais iônicos mecanossensíveis e elementos citoesqueléticos que fornecem às células informações mecânicas importantes de seu ambiente circundante.
Além disso, moléculas que mostram uma natureza única de suporte de força também podem ser consideradas mecanossensíveis em um sentido mais amplo. Por exemplo, a formação local e o derretimento de duplexes de ácidos nucleicos, bem como estruturas de ordem superior, como G-quadruplexes, desempenham papéis cruciais na replicação, transcrição, recombinação e, mais recentemente, edição do genoma. Além disso, algumas proteínas neuronais envolvidas nas comunicações sinápticas desempenham suas funções gerando forças físicas que excedem os níveis de interações intermoleculares típicas. Não importa qual exemplo se estude, investigar a nanomecânica das biomoléculas envolvidas com alta precisão espaço-temporal será altamente útil na revelação de mecanismos moleculares dos processos mecanobiológicosassociados1,2,3.
Métodos de espectroscopia de força de molécula única têm servido como ferramentas poderosas para examinar as propriedades mecânicas de biomoléculas 2,4,5,6. Eles podem monitorar mudanças estruturais em ácidos nucleicos e proteínas simultaneamente com a aplicação de força, examinando assim propriedades dependentes da força. Duas configurações bem conhecidas são as pinças ópticas e as pinças magnéticas (MTs), que empregam esferas do tamanho de mícrons para manipular moléculas 5,6,7,8. Nessas plataformas, o poliestireno (para pinças ópticas) ou esferas magnéticas (para MTs) são amarrados a moléculas-alvo (por exemplo, ácidos nucléicos e proteínas) por meio de “alças” moleculares, tipicamente feitas de fragmentos curtos de DNA de fita dupla (dsDNA). As contas são então movidas para exercer força e fotografadas para rastrear suas localizações que relatam mudanças estruturais nas moléculas-alvo. Pinças ópticas e magnéticas são amplamente intercambiáveis em suas aplicações, mas existem diferenças importantes em suas abordagens para controlar a força. Pinças ópticas são instrumentos de fixação intrinsecamente posicionados que aprisionam contas na posição, por causa das quais a força aplicada flutua quando uma construção alvo sofre mudanças de forma; aumento de extensão, como de desdobramento, afrouxa a amarração e reduz a tensão, e vice-versa. Embora a realimentação ativa possa ser implementada para controlar a força em pinças ópticas, as MTs, em contraste, operam naturalmente como um dispositivo de fixação de força, aproveitando as forças magnéticas estáveis e de campo distante por ímãs permanentes, que também podem resistir à perturbação ambiental.
Apesar de sua longa história e design simples, as MTs ficaram atrás das pinças ópticas em suas aplicações para medições de alta precisão, em grande parte devido aos desafios técnicos no rastreamento rápido de contas. Recentemente, entretanto, vários grupos têm liderado conjuntamente um aprimoramento multifacetado tanto do hardware quanto do software para instrumentos de MT2,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 . Neste trabalho, apresentamos um exemplo de tal configuração rodando a 1,2 kHz e descrevemos como usá-lo para realizar medições nanomecânicas em biomoléculas sensíveis à força. Como sistemas modelo, empregamos pinos de cabelo de DNA e complexos SNARE neuronais e examinamos suas rápidas mudanças estruturais no regime de piconewton. Pinos de DNA exibem transições simples de dois estados em uma faixa de força bem definida20,21 e, portanto, servem como modelos de brinquedo para verificar o desempenho de uma pinça. À medida que as proteínas SNARE se agrupam em um complexo sensível à força que impulsiona a fusão da membrana22, elas também têm sido extensivamente estudadas por espectroscopia de força de molécula única 14,23,24,25. Abordagens padrão para analisar dados e extrair informações úteis sobre termodinâmica e cinética são apresentadas. Esperamos que este artigo possa facilitar a adoção de MTs de alta precisão em estudos mecanobiológicos e motivar os leitores a explorar seus próprios sistemas sensíveis à força de interesse.

Representative Results
Calibração da forçaOs resultados dos dois métodos de medição de força (variância do deslocamento lateral das contas e análise do espectro de potência) diferiram em 0-2 pN (Figura 2G).

Discussion
Neste trabalho, introduzimos uma configuração de espectroscopia de força de molécula única que pode observar mudanças estruturais de biomoléculas com alta precisão espaço-temporal. A câmera CMOS de alta velocidade usada adquire 1.200 quadros s−1 com resolução de 1.280 x 1.024, permitindo o rastreamento de contas de 1,2 kHz. No entanto, a velocidade das medições é atualmente limitada pelo software de rastreamento de contas, de modo que o ROI é normalmente reduzido a áreas menores em mediçõe…
