There are many different surface technologies currently applied for preparation of protein chips. However, it requires innovative surface chemistry for capture proteins to be immobilized on chip surface keeping their conformation and activity intact and their orientation right, while they bind tightly and densely in a given array spot. Proteogen has developed 'ProteoChip BP' coated with novel proprietary linker molecules $(ProLinker^{TM})$ for efficient and robust immobilizations of capture proteins by improving surface properties of molecular captures. It was demonstrated that $ProLinker^{TM}$ gave the best surface performance in preparation of protein microarray chip base plates among others currently available on the market. In particular, the $ProLinker^{TM}-based$ surface chemistry has demonstrated to provide excellent performance in preparation of 'Antibody Chip' for analysis of biomarkers as well as proteome expression profiles. The linker molecule has also shown to be well applicable for development of biosensors and micro-beads as well as protein microarray and nano-array. ProteoChip BP can be used either for preparation of high-density array by using a microarrayer or for preparation of 'Well-on-a-Chip' with low density array, which is better applicable for quantitative analysis of biomarkers or protein-protein interactions. The biomarker assay can be performed either by direct or sandwich methods of fluorescence immunoassay. Application of ProteoChip BP has been well demonstrated by the extensive studies of 1) tumor-marker assays, 2) new drug screening by using 'Integrin Chip' and 3) protein expression profile analysis. Some of experimental results will be presented.

The capability of detecting amyloid beta 42 ($A{\beta}42$), a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease, using a thiolated protein A-functionalized bimetallic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip was investigated. An optimized configuration of a bimetallic chip containing gold and silver was obtained through calculations in the intensity measurement mode. The surface of the SPR bimetallic chip was functionalized with thiolated protein A for the immobilization of $A{\beta}42$ antibody. The response of the thiolated protein A-functionalized bimetallic chip to $A{\beta}42$ in the concentration range of 50 to 1,000 pg/mL was linear. Compared to protein A without thiolation, the thiolated protein A resulted in greater sensitivity. Therefore, the thiolated protein A-functionalized bimetallic SPR chip can be used to detect very low concentrations of the biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.

Background: The mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) receptor can be overexpressed in solid tumors, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the molecular mechanism regulating MET stability and turnover in SCLC remains undefined. One potential mechanism of MET regulation involves the C-terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP), which targets heat shock protein 90-interacting proteins for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. In the present study, we investigated the functional effects of CHIP expression on MET regulation and the control of SCLC cell apoptosis and invasion. Methods: To evaluate the expression of CHIP and c-Met, which is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MET gene (the MET proto-oncogene), we examined the expression pattern of c-Met and CHIP in SCLC cell lines by western blotting. To investigate whether CHIP overexpression reduced cell proliferation and invasive activity in SCLC cell lines, we transfected cells with CHIP and performed a cell viability assay and cellular apoptosis assays. Results: We found an inverse relationship between the expression of CHIP and MET in SCLC cell lines (n=5). CHIP destabilized the endogenous MET receptor in SCLC cell lines, indicating an essential role for CHIP in the regulation of MET degradation. In addition, CHIP inhibited MET-dependent pathways, and invasion, cell growth, and apoptosis were reduced by CHIP overexpression in SCLC cell lines. Conclusion: C HIP is capable of regulating SCLC cell apoptosis and invasion by inhibiting MET-mediated cytoskeletal and cell survival pathways in NCI-H69 cells. CHIP suppresses MET-dependent signaling, and regulates MET-mediated SCLC motility.

A multi-cavity injection mold system of protein chip for point-of-care with cavity temperature and pressure sensors was proposed in this work. In advance of manufacturing for the multi-cavity injection mold system, a single cavity injection mold system to mold protein chip was considered. Injection molding analysis for the presented system was performed to optimize the process of the molding and suggest guides to design. On the basis of the results for the single cavity system, a multi-cavity injection mold system for protein chip was analyzed, designed and manufactured with cavity temperature and pressure sensors. Results of balanced filling for protein chip models were obtained from the presented mold system.

Photoinduced electron transport process in nature such as photoelectric conversion and long-range electron transfer in photosynthetic organisms are known to occur not only very efficiently but also unidirectionally through the functional groups of biomolecules. The basic principles in the development of new functional devices can be inspired from the biological systems such as molecular recognition, electron transfer chain, or photosynthetic reaction center. By mimicking the organization of the biological system, molecular electronic devices can be realized $artificially^{1)}$. The nano-fabrication technology of biomolecules was applied to the development of nano-protein chip for simultaneously analyzing many kinds of proteins as a rapid tool for proteome research. The results showed that the self-assembled protein layer had an influence on the sensitivity of the fabricated bio-surface to the target molecules, which would give us a way to fabricate the nano-protein chip with high sensitivity. The results implicate that the biosurface fabrication using self-assembled protein molecules could be successfully applied to the construction of nanoscale bio-photodiode and nano-protein chip based on electrical detection.

We fabricated protein chip plates coated with silane carboxylate. The silane compound was immobilized by hydrogen bond and/or other chemical bonds on the surface of the plate. The plates were then prepared by binding $Ni^{2+}$ to surfaces terminated with silane carboxylate groups. The carboxylic acid surface was generated by chemical oxidation of the terminal double-bond functions of the silane-deposited layer. The $Ni^{2+}$ ions on the surface reacted readily to His-tagged proteins. A significant increase in His-tagged protein adsorption was achieved on the surface terminated with silane carboxylate with longer alkyl chain, suggesting better availability of these protein chip plates for proteomic studies.

The INO80 chromatin remodeling complex has roles in many essential cellular processes, including DNA replication. However, the mechanisms that regulate INO80 in these processes remain largely unknown. We previously reported that the stability of Ino80, the catalytic ATPase subunit of INO80, is regulated by the ubiquitin proteasome system and that BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1), a nuclear deubiquitinase with tumor suppressor activity, stabilizes Ino80 via deubiquitination and promotes replication fork progression. However, the E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets Ino80 for proteasomal degradation was unknown. Here, we identified the C-terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP), the E3 ubiquitin ligase that functions in cooperation with Hsp70, as an Ino80-interacting protein. CHIP polyubiquitinates Ino80 in a manner dependent on Hsp70. Contrary to our expectation that CHIP degrades Ino80, CHIP instead stabilizes Ino80 by extending its half-life. The data suggest that CHIP stabilizes Ino80 by inhibiting degradative ubiquitination. We also show that CHIP works together with BAP1 to enhance the stabilization of Ino80, leading to its chromatin binding. Interestingly, both depletion and overexpression of CHIP compromise replication fork progression with little effect on fork stalling, as similarly observed for BAP1 and Ino80, indicating that an optimal cellular level of Ino80 is important for replication fork speed but not for replication stress suppression. This work therefore idenitifes CHIP as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that stabilizes Ino80 via nondegradative ubiquitination and suggests that CHIP and BAP1 act in concert to regulate Ino80 ubiquitination to fine-tune its stability for efficient DNA replication.

수소 플라즈마 처리된 유리 기판에 스핀 코팅 시스템을 이용하여 nickel chloride를 코팅하여 단백질칩 플레이트를 제조하였다. 다양한 플라즈마 처리 시간대에서 histidine tagged 단백질의 부착 능력 특성을 연구하였다. 유리 기판 표면에서 nickel chloride와 단백질 특성을 particle size analysis를 이용하여 관찰하였고, 단백질의 부착 능력 정도를 bio imaging analyzer system으로 측정하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면, 플라즈마 처리 시간이 증가할수록 단백질 부착 능력은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 기판 표면에서의 단백질 부착능력 특성에 관한 mechanism은 본문의 결과 및 토의에서 논의되었다. 플라즈마 처리된 단백질칩 기판에 대한 표면 안정화는 바이오센서 시장에서 큰 관심을 끌 것으로 기대된다.

Bacterial hemoglobin from Vitreoscilla (VHb) is recognized as a good fusion protein for the soluble expression of foreign protein. In this study, we generated a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against VHb for its detection. For the rapid screening of MAb, a protein chip technology based on the Alexa-488 (A488) dye labeling method was introduced. In order to fabricate the chip, the VHb protein was chemically coupled to the chip surface and then the culture supernatants of 84 hybridoma cell lines were spotted onto the VHb chip. The bound MAbs were measured by A488-modified anti-mouse IgG. A single spot (MAb A10) exhibited significantly high signal intensity. The immunoblot analysis evidenced that the MAb A10 can detect VHb-fused proteins with high specificity.
