A 30-kDa fragment of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-3 in human pregnancy serum with strongly reduced IGF-I binding

Proteolytic cleavage of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein (IGFBP)-3 during pregnancy is likely to have both IGF-dependent and -independent effects on maternal, placental and fetal growth and metabolism. A 30-kDa proteolytic IGFBP-3 fragment was isolated from third trimester pregnancy human serum and identified by N- and C-terminal amino acid sequence analysis and mass spectrometry to correspond to residues 1–212 of the parent protein. This fragment is the dominating IGFBP-3 immunoreactive species in pregnancy serum. The 30-kDa fragment was also detected in serum of non-pregnant women where it coexists with intact IGFBP-3. Using biosensor technology, (1–212)IGFBP-3 was found to have 11-fold lower affinity for IGF-I compared to intact IGFBP-3, while a 4-fold decrease in affinity was found for IGF-II. Tests with des(1–3)IGF-I suggest fast binding of IGF-I to the N-terminal region of IGFBP-3 and similar affinity to a slow binding site in the C-terminal region.

The progress of olfactory transduction and biomimetic olfactory-based biosensors

Olfaction is a very important sensation for all animals. Recently great progress has been made in the research of olfactory transduction. Especially the novel finding of the gene superfamily encoding olfactory receptors has led to rapid advances in olfactory transduction. These advances also promoted the research of biomimetic olfactory-based biosensors and some obvious achievements have been obtained due to their potential commercial prospects and promising industrial applications. This paper briefly introduces the biological basis of olfaction, summarizes the progress of olfactory signal transduction in the olfactory neuron, the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortex, outlines the latest devel- opments and applications of biomimetic olfactory-based biosensors. Finally, the olfactory biosensor based on light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) is addressed in detail based on our recent work and the research trends of olfactory biosensors in future are discussed.
