Titolo: | Interaction of miR-155 with Human Serum Albumin: An Atomic Force Spectroscopy, Fluorescence, FRET, and Computational Modelling Evidence | Autori: | Botti, Valentina Cannistraro, Salvatore Bizzarri, Anna Rita |
Rivista: | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES | Data pubblicazione: | 2022 | Abstract: | This study investigated the interaction between Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and microRNA 155 (miR-155) through spectroscopic, nanoscopic and computational methods. Atomic force spectroscopy together with static and time-resolved fluorescence demonstrated the formation of an HSA/miR-155 complex characterized by a moderate affinity constant (KA in the order of 104 M-1). Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) experiments allowed us to measure a distance of (3.9 ± 0.2) nm between the lone HSA Trp214 and an acceptor dye bound to miR-155 within such a complex. This structural parameter, combined with computational docking and binding free energy calculations, led us to identify two possible models for the structure of the complex, both characterized by a topography in which miR-155 is located within two positively charged pockets of HSA. These results align with the interaction found for HSA and miR-4749, reinforcing the thesis that native HSA is a suitable miRNA carrier under physiological conditions for delivering to appropriate targets. |
