Abstract
PGP-1 is a bacterial hydrolase that can hydrolyze the amide bond of the L-pyroglutamate (L-pGlu) residue at the amino terminus of proteins and peptides. Guided by the biological function of PGP-1, an off-on NIR fluorescent probe DDPA was developed for the visual sensing of PGP-1 by conjugating pyroglutamic acid (recognition group) and DDAN (fluorophore). Using intestinal bacteria cultivation, eight bacteria strains with active PGP-1 were identified and cultivated efficiently using DDPA. In addition, three natural inhibitors against PGP-1 were isolated from the medical herb Psoralea corylifolia, which could be used to interfere with bacterial metabolism in the gut. As such, the fluorescent probe DDPA provides an efficient method and potential tool for the investigation of intestinal microbiota.
