A Chemical Probe for Protein Crotonylation
Bos, Jeffrey,Muir, Tom W.
, p. 4757 - 4760 (2018)
Protein lysine crotonylation has emerged as an important post-translational modification (PTM) in the regulation of gene transcription through epigenetic mechanisms. Here we introduce a chemical probe, based on a water-soluble phosphine warhead, which reacts with the crotonyl modification. We show that this reagent is complementary to antibody-based tools allowing detection of endogenous cellular proteins such as histones carrying the crotonylation PTM. The tool is also used to show that the histone acylation activity of the transcriptional coactivator, p300, can be activated by pre-existing lysine crotonylation through a positive feedback mechanism. This reagent provides a versatile and sensitive probe for the analysis of this PTM.

Many biosensor applications are based on streptavidin (SA) binding to partially biotinylated self-assembled thiol monolayers (SAMs). In our study, binary SAMs on gold were prepared from solutions containing 16-mercapto-1- hexadecanol (thiol I) and N-(8-biotinyl-3,6-dioxa-octanamidyl)-16- mercaptohexadecanamide (thiol II) in varying component ratios. Either chloroform or ethanol was used as solvent. After 24 h thiol incubation, SA was immobilized on the resulting SAMs using the strong SA-biotin interaction. The SA binding process was monitored by QCM-D (quartz crystal microbalance monitoring dissipation factor). It is shown that the Sauerbrey equation is valid to calculate the mass quantities of the immobilized SA layers. Under the chosen incubation conditions, marginal fractions of the biotinylated component II in chloroform ((nI/nII)solution ≈ 1000) lead to SAMs which ensure a maximal SA binding quantity of mSauerbrey SA ≈ 400 ngcm-2, being equivalent to a SA single-layer arrangement on the SAM surface. In case of incubations from ethanolic solutions, a complete SA layer formation needs significantly higher amounts of the biotinylated component II during SAM preparation ((nI/nII) solution ≈ 50). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data show that the fraction of biotinylated thiol II in the SAM determines the amount of surface-bound SA. The SAM thiol ratio ((nI/nII) SAM) not only depends on the corresponding component ratio in the incubation solution, but is also strongly influenced by the solvent. Using chloroform as solvent during SAM preparation significantly increased the fraction of biotinylated thiol II in the SAMs compared to ethanol.

A bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN)-based cyclooctyne reagent bearing a photocrosslinking diazirine (DAz) group and a biotin affinity handle, BCN-DAz-Biotin, is reported. BCN-DAz-Biotin is capable of simultaneously delivering photocrosslinking and affinity tags to azide-labeled biomolecules, enabling photoactivated capture and enrichment/detection of interacting species in native contexts.

The Pictet-Spengler reaction was applied to the N-terminal labeling of horse heart myoglobin. This was performed in the following two steps: (1) conversion of the N-terminal glycine residue to an α-keto aldehyde by a transamination reaction and (2) condensation of the resulting activated myoglobin with tryptamine analogues by the Pictet-Spengler reaction. Ultraviolet (UV)/visible (vis) absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectral data revealed that the tertiary structure of myoglobin was not altered by the Pictet-Spengler reaction.

Scutellarin, one of natural flavonoids, is widely and clinically used for treating many diseases in China. Recently, scutellarin has demonstrated a broad spectrum of anti-proliferative activities against multiple cancer cell lines. However, the molecular mechanism of action remains to be investigated. We herein report the design and synthesis of biotinylated scutellareins as probes, which can be applied to discover scutellarein interacting proteins. Finally, we show that scutellarin directly targets pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and inhibits its cytosolic activity to decrease glycolytic metabolism; on the other hand, scutellarin may also participate in regulating cell cycle and apoptotic proteins by activating MEK/ERK/PIN1 signaling pathway to promote the nuclear translocation of PKM2.

We have developed a novel bioorthogonal reaction that can selectively displace fluorine substitutions alpha to amide bonds. This fluorine-thiol displacement reaction (FTDR) allows for fluorinated cofactors or precursors to be utilized as chemical reporters, hijacking acetyltransferase-mediated acetylation both in vitro and in live cells, which cannot be achieved with azide- or alkyne-based chemical reporters. The fluoroacetamide labels can be further converted to biotin or fluorophore tags using FTDR, enabling the general detection and imaging of acetyl substrates. This strategy may lead to a steric-free labeling platform for substrate proteins, expanding our chemical toolbox for functional annotation of post-translational modifications in a systematic manner.

The long-term stability of affinity-based protein labeling probes is crucial to obtain reproducible protein labeling results. However, highly stable probes generally suffer from low protein labeling efficiency and pose significant challenges when labeling low abundance native proteins in living cells. In this paper, we report that protein labeling probes based on an ortho-difluorophenyl ester reactive module exhibit long-term stability in DMSO stock solution and aqueous buffer, yet they can undergo rapid and selective labeling of native proteins. This novel electrophile can be customized with a wide range of different protein ligands and is particularly well-suited for the labeling and imaging of transmembrane proteins. With this probe design, the identity and relative levels of basal and hypoxia-induced transmembrane carbonic anhydrases were revealed by live cell imaging and in-gel fluorescence analysis. We believe that the extension of this difluorophenyl ester reactive module would allow for the specific labeling of various endogenous membrane proteins, facilitating in-depth studies of their distribution and functions in biological processes.
