A rhodium-cyanine fluorescent probe: detection and signaling of mismatches in DNA
Abstract
We report a bifunctional fluorescent probe that combines a rhodium metalloinsertor with a cyanine dye as the fluorescent reporter. The conjugate shows weak luminescence when free in solution or with well matched DNA but exhibits a significant luminescence increase in the presence of a 27-mer DNA duplex containing a central CC mismatch. DNA photocleavage experiments demonstrate that, upon photoactivation, the conjugate cleaves the DNA backbone specifically near the mismatch site on a 27-mer fragment, consistent with mismatch targeting. Fluorescence titrations with the 27-mer duplex containing the CC mismatch reveal a DNA binding affinity of 3.1 × 10^6 M^(–1), similar to that of other rhodium metalloinsertors. Fluorescence titrations using genomic DNA extracted from various cell lines demonstrate a clear discrimination in fluorescence between those cell lines that are proficient or deficient in mismatch repair. This differential luminescence reflects the sensitive detection of the mismatchrepair-deficient phenotype.
