Abstract | Motor proteins, such as myosin and kinesin, are biological molecular motors involved in force generation and intracellular transport within living cells. The characteristics of molecular motors, i.e., their motility over long distances, their capacity of transporting cargoes, and their very efficient energy consumption, recommend them as potential operational elements of a new class of dynamic nano-devices, with potential applications in biosensing, analyte concentrators, and biocomputation. A possible design of a biosensor based on protein molecular motor comprises a surface with immobilized motors propelling cytoskeletal filaments, which are decorated with antibodies, presented as side-branches. Upon biomolecular recognition of these branches by secondary antibodies, the 'extensions' on the cytoskeletal filaments can achieve considerable lengths (longer than several diameters of the cytoskeletal filament carrier), thus geometrically impairing or halting motility. Because the filaments are several micrometers long, this sensing mechanism converts an event in the nanometer range, i.e., antibody-antigen sizes, into an event in the micrometer range: the visualization of the halting of motility of microns-long cytoskeletal filaments. Here we demonstrate the proof of concept of a sensing system comprising heavy-mero-myosin immobilized on surfaces propelling actin filaments decorated with actin antibodies, whose movement is halted upon the recognition with secondary anti-actin antibodies. Because antibodies to the actin-myosin system are involved in several rare diseases, the first possible application for such a device may be their prognosis and diagnosis. The results also provide insights into guidelines for designing highly sensitive and very fast biosensors powered by motor proteins. |
