Caging-Decaging Strategies to Realize Spatiotemporal Control of DNAzyme Activity for Biosensing and Bioimaging

doi:10.1007/s40242-022-2137-3

Abstract

Abstract: DNAzymes with RNA-cleaving activity have been widely used as biosensing and bioimaging tools for detection of metal ions. Despite the achievements, DNAzyme-based biosensors sometime suffer from false positive signals and unexpected off-target turn-on in biological environments, which are likely due to the unstable nature of the RNA site. Ways to control DNAzyme activity in order to improve the sensing performance remain a significant challenge. To meet the challenge, there is growing interest to develop synthetic strategies that can cage native DNAzyme under undesired conditions and reactivate it in target environment in order to function in a controlled manner. A variety of caging-decaging strategies have been developed to realize spatiotemporal control of the DNAzyme activity, improving its specificity and sensitivity as well as extending its application regimes. In this review, we focus on strategies to regulate the catalytic activity of DNAzyme, highlight the nucleic acid modification chemistries, and summarize three strategies to cage DNAzyme functions. Examples of using caged DNAzyme for bio-applications have also been reviewed in detail. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the potential challenges and opportunities of this emerging research topic that could advance the DNAzyme field.

Key words: RNA-cleaving DNAzyme, Caging-decaging strategy, Spatiotemporal control, Biosensing, Bioimaging
