Abstract
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase (HAT) catalyzes the acetylation of a substrate peptide, and acetyl coenzyme A is converted to coenzyme A (CoA). A photoelectrochemical method is described for the determination of the HAT activity by using exfoliated MoS nanosheets, phos-tag-biotin, and β-galactosidase (β-Gal) based signal amplification. The MoS nanosheets are employed as the photoactive material, graphene nanosheets as electron transfer promoter, gold nanoparticles as recognition and capture reagent for CoA, and phos-tag-biotin as the reagent to link CoA and β-Gal. The enzyme β-Gal catalyzes the hydrolysis of substrate O-galactosyl-4-aminophenol to generate free 4-aminophenol which is a photoelectrochemical electron donor. The photocurrent increases with the activity of HAT. Under optimal conditions, the response is linear in the 0.3 to 100 nM activity range, and the detection limit is 0.14 nM (at S/N = 3). The assay was applied to HAT inhibitor screening, specifically for the inhibitors C646 and anacardic acid. The IC values are 0.28 and 39 μM, respectively. The method is deemed to be a promising tool for epigenetic research and HAT-targeted cancer drug discovery. Graphical abstract Histone acetyltransferase was detected using a sensitive photoelectrochemical method using MoS nanosheets as photoactive material.
