N6-methyladenosine(m6A)plays an important role in embryogenesis,nuclear export,transcription splicing,and protein translation control.Herein,we demonstrate a copper-free click chemistry-mediated assembly of single quantum dot(QD)nanosensor for accu-rately monitoring locus-specific m6A in cancer cells.The m6A-sensitive endoribonuclease MazF can digest the unmethylated A-RNA,and the intact m6A-RNA then hybridizes with DNA probes a and b to produce a sandwich hybrid,initiating the click chemistry to gen-erate probe a-b ligation product via first tandem ligation detection reaction(LDR)cycle.Subsequently,DNA probes c and d can hy-bridize with the probe a-b ligation product to generate the probe c-d ligation product via second LDR cycle.Both LDR cycles can be repeated through denaturation and annealing reaction to generate abundant biotin-/fluorophore-modified probe c-d ligation prod-ucts that can easily assemble on the QD surface to induce distinct fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET)between QD and Cy5.This assay can be homogenously performed without the involvement of copper catalyst,m6A-specific antibody,radioactive la-beling,ligase enzyme,enzymatic reverse transcription,and next-generation sequencing.Moreover,it can discriminate even 0.01%m6A level in complex samples and accurately measure cellular mA-RNA expression,providing a promising avenue for clinical diag-nostics and biomedical research.
