Capture-SELEX of DNA Aptamers for Sulforhodamine B and Fluorescein

Description: While many dye binding aptamers have been reported, most of them were for light-up aptamers
that can significantly enhance the quantum yield of fluorophores. Sulforhodamine B (SRhB) was
used as a target previously to select both DNA and RNA aptamers, and the DNA aptamer was a
G-quadruplex that can bind to a number of rhodamine analogs. In addition, the previous selections were performed by immobilizing the target molecules. In this work, we used the
library immobilization method to respectively select aptamers for SRhB and fluorescein. The
SRhB aptamer has a non-G-quadruplex structure with a Kd of 1.0 µM measured from isothermal
titration calorimetry. Upon titration of the aptamer, the fluorescence of SRhB increased 2.5-fold,
and this aptamer does not require Mg2+ for binding. Rhodamine B has even tighter binding suggesting binding through the xanthene moiety of the dyes. No binding was detected for
fluorescein. For the fluorescein selection, a dominant aptamer sequence with a Kd of 147 µM was obtained. This study provides two new aptamers for two important fluorophores that can be used to study aptamer-based separation, dye detection, and catalysis. Comparison of these aptamers also provides insights into the effect of functional groups on aptamer binding.
