Method for analyzing protein-protein interaction on single-molecule level in cell environment, and method for measuring density of protein activated in cytosol

摘要

A method of analyzing protein-protein interactions includes: preparing two substrates, in which first protein-binding molecules that are biomolecules to be bound to the first proteins are attached to each of the substrates; inducing binding between the first proteins and the first protein-binding molecules on the first substrate and the second substrate, respectively, by supplying the first proteins included in the control group-cell to the first substrate among the two substrates and supplying the first proteins included in the experimental group-cell to the second substrate among the two substrates; supplying cell lysates of cells including the marker-tagged second proteins to the first substrate and the second substrate, respectively; and comparing the interactions between the first proteins and the second proteins on the first substrate and the second substrate in the supply of the cell lysates to the first substrate and the second substrate, respectively.

1. A method of analyzing interactions between first proteins and second proteins, comprising:
(a) preparing a substrate; (b) attaching first protein-binding molecules that are biomolecules to be bound with the first proteins to the substrate; (c) supplying first cell lysates including the first proteins to the substrate to induce binding of the first protein and the first protein-binding molecules; (d) supplying second cell lysates including marker-tagged second proteins after the first proteins are bound to the first protein-binding molecules on the substrate to induce the interactions between the first proteins and the second proteins; and (e) analyzing the interactions between the first proteins and the second proteins on the substrate by determining a level of the first proteins interacted with the second proteins, wherein determining the level of the first proteins interacted with the second proteins includes cumulatively measuring in an integral section of a predetermined time period a fluorescent signal having a specific wavelength generated by markers tagged to the second proteins bound to the first proteins using an optical apparatus generating a near-field.
