Using a Kinase/Phosphatase Switch to Regulate a Supramolecular Hydrogel and Forming the Supramolecular Hydrogel in Vivo

Yang, Zhimou, Liang, Gaolin, Wang, Ling, Xu, Bing·2006·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

We have designed and synthesized a new hydrogelator Nap-FFGEY (1), which forms a supramolecular hydrogel. A kinase/phosphatase switch is used to control the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the hydrogelator and to regulate the formation of supramolecular hydrogels. Adding a kinase to the hydrogel induces a gel-sol phase transition in the presence of adenosine triphosphates (ATP) because the tyrosine residue is converted into tyrosine phosphate by the kinase to give a more hydrophilic molecule of Nap-FFGEY-P(O)(OH)(2) (2); treating the resulting solution with a phosphatase transforms 2 back to 1 and restores the hydrogel. Electron micrographs of the hydrogels indicate that 1 self-assembles into nanofibers. Subcutaneous injection of 2 in mice shows that 80.5 +/- 1.2% of 2 turns into 1 and results in the formation of the supramolecular hydrogel of 1 in vivo. This simple biomimetic approach for regulating the states of supramolecular hydrogels promises a new way to design and construct biomaterials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
