Exploration of the binding proteins of perfluorooctane sulfonate by a T7 phage display screen.
2012
Abstract Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a pollutant widely found throughout nature and is toxic to animals. We created a PFOS analogue on a polyethylene glycol polyacrylamide copolymer and isolated peptides that preferentially bound the PFOS analogue using a T7 phage display system. Bioinformatic analysis using the FASTAskan program on the RELIC bioinformatics server showed several human proteins that likely bound PFOS. Among them, we confirmed binding between PFOS and a recombinant soluble form of monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 (sCD14) by a surface plasmon biosensor. Furthermore, PFOS inhibited TNF-α production induced by the sCD14 in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells.
