Development of a small peptide tag for covalent labeling of proteins.

ABSTRACT: A 21-mer peptide that can be used to covalently introduce synthetic molecules into proteins has been developed. Phage-displayed peptide libraries were subjected to reaction-based selection with 1,3-diketones. The peptide was further evolved by addition of a randomized region and reselection for improved binding. The resulting 21-mer peptide had a reactive amino group that formed an enaminone with 1,3-diketone and was used as a tag for labeling of maltose binding protein. Using this peptide tag and 1,3-diketone derivatives, a variety of molecules such as reporter probes and functionalities may be covalently introduced into proteins of interest.

Site-specific covalent labeling of His-tag fused proteins with N-acyl-N-alkyl sulfonamide reagent.

Project description:The ability to incorporate a desired functionality into proteins of interest in a site-specific manner can provide powerful tools for investigating biological systems and creating therapeutic conjugates. However, there are not any universal methods that can be applied to all proteins, and it is thus important to explore the chemical strategy for protein modification. In this paper, we developed a new reactive peptide tag/probe pair system for site-specific covalent protein labeling. This method relies on the recognition-driven reaction of a peptide tag and a molecular probe, which comprises the lysine-containing short histidine tag (KH6 or H6K) and a binuclear nickel (II)- nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni2+-NTA) complex probe containing a lysine-reactive N-acyl-N-alkyl sulfonamide (NASA) group. The selective interaction of the His-tag and Ni2+-NTA propeles a rapid nucleophilic reaction between a lysine residue of the tag and the electrophilic NASA group of the probe by the proximity effect, resulting in the tag-site-specific functionalization of proteins. We characterized the reactive profile and site-specificity of this method using model peptides and proteins in vitro, and demonstrated the general utility for production of a nanobody-chemical probe conjugate without compromising its binding ability.

A straightforward approach for bioorthogonal labeling of proteins and organelles in live mammalian cells, using a short peptide tag.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In the high-resolution microscopy era, genetic code expansion (GCE)-based bioorthogonal labeling offers an elegant way for direct labeling of proteins in live cells with fluorescent dyes. This labeling approach is currently not broadly used in live-cell applications, partly because it needs to be adjusted to the specific protein under study. RESULTS:We present a generic, 14-residue long, N-terminal tag for GCE-based labeling of proteins in live mammalian cells. Using this tag, we generated a library of GCE-based organelle markers, demonstrating the applicability of the tag for labeling a plethora of proteins and organelles. Finally, we show that the HA epitope, used as a backbone in our tag, may be substituted with other epitopes and, in some cases, can be completely removed, reducing the tag length to 5 residues. CONCLUSIONS:The GCE-tag presented here offers a powerful, easy-to-implement tool for live-cell labeling of cellular proteins with small and bright probes.

A peptide tag-specific nanobody enables high-quality labeling for dSTORM imaging.

Project description:Dense fluorophore labeling without compromising the biological target is crucial for genuine super-resolution microscopy. Here we introduce a broadly applicable labeling strategy for fixed and living cells utilizing a short peptide tag-specific nanobody (BC2-tag/bivBC2-Nb). BC2-tagging of ectopically introduced or endogenous proteins does not interfere with the examined structures and bivBC2-Nb staining results in a close-grained fluorophore labeling with minimal linkage errors. This allowed us to perform high-quality dSTORM imaging of various targets in mammalian and yeast cells. We expect that this versatile strategy will render many more demanding cellular targets amenable to dSTORM imaging.

Distinguishing Histidine Tautomers in Proteins Using Covalent Labeling-Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:In this work, we use diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC)-based covalent labeling together with LC-MS/MS analysis to distinguish the two sidechain tautomers of histidine residues in peptides and proteins. From labeling experiments on model peptides, we demonstrate that DEPC reacts equally with both tautomeric forms to produce chemically different products with distinct dissociation patterns and LC retention times, allowing the ratios of the two tautomers to be determined in peptides and proteins. Upon measuring the tautomer ratios of several histidine residues in myoglobin, we find good agreement with previous 2D NMR data on this protein. Because our DEPC labeling/MS approach is simpler, faster, and more precise than 2D NMR, our method will be a valuable way to determine how protein structure enforces histidine sidechain tautomerization. Because the tautomeric state of histidine residues is often important for protein structure and function, the ability of DEPC labeling/MS to distinguish histidine tautomers should equip researchers with a tool to understand the histidine residue structure and function more deeply in proteins.

Genetically encoded short peptide tag for versatile protein labeling by Sfp phosphopantetheinyl transferase.

Project description:An 11-residue peptide with the sequence DSLEFIASKLA was identified from a genomic library of Bacillus subtilis by phage display as an efficient substrate for Sfp phosphopantetheinyl transferase-catalyzed protein labeling by small molecule-CoA conjugates. We name this peptide the "ybbR tag," because part of its sequence is derived from the ybbR ORF in the B. subtilis genome. The site of Sfp-catalyzed ybbR tag labeling was mapped to the underlined Ser residue, and the ybbR tag was found to have a strong tendency for adopting an alpha-helical conformation in solution. Here we demonstrate that the ybbR tag can be fused to the N or C termini of target proteins or inserted in a flexible loop in the middle of a target protein for site-specific protein labeling by Sfp. The short size of the ybbR tag and its compatibility with various target proteins, the broad substrate specificity of Sfp for labeling the ybbR tag with small-molecule probes of diverse structures, and the high specificity and efficiency of the labeling reaction make Sfp-catalyzed ybbR tag labeling an attractive tool for expanding protein structural and functional diversities by posttranslational modification.

Visualization of Periplasmic and Cytoplasmic Proteins with a Self-Labeling Protein Tag.

Project description:The use of fluorescent and luminescent proteins in visualizing proteins has become a powerful tool in understanding molecular and cellular processes within living organisms. This success has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for new and more versatile protein-labeling tools that permit light-based detection of proteins within living cells. In this report, we present data supporting the use of the self-labeling HaloTag protein as a light-emitting reporter for protein fusions within the model prokaryote Escherichia coli. We show that functional protein fusions of the HaloTag can be detected both in vivo and in vitro when expressed within the cytoplasmic or periplasmic compartments of E. coli. The capacity to visually detect proteins localized in various prokaryotic compartments expands today's molecular biologist toolbox and paves the path to new applications.Visualizing proteins microscopically within living cells is important for understanding both the biology of cells and the role of proteins within living cells. Currently, the most common tool is green fluorescent protein (GFP). However, fluorescent proteins such as GFP have many limitations; therefore, the field of molecular biology is always in need of new tools to visualize proteins. In this paper, we demonstrate, for the first time, the use of HaloTag to visualize proteins in two different compartments within the model prokaryote Escherichia coli. The use of HaloTag as an additional tool to visualize proteins within prokaryotes increases our capacity to ask about and understand the role of proteins within living cells.

Structural analysis and optimization of the covalent association between SpyCatcher and a peptide Tag.

Project description:Peptide tagging is a key strategy for observing and isolating proteins. However, the interactions of proteins with peptides are nearly all rapidly reversible. Proteins tagged with the peptide SpyTag form an irreversible covalent bond to the SpyCatcher protein via a spontaneous isopeptide linkage, thereby offering a genetically encoded way to create peptide interactions that resist force and harsh conditions. Here, we determined the crystal structure of the reconstituted covalent complex of SpyTag and SpyCatcher at 2.1Å resolution. The structure showed the expected reformation of the β-sandwich domain seen in the parental streptococcal adhesin, but flanking sequences at both N- and C-termini of SpyCatcher were disordered. In addition, only 10 out of 13 amino acids of the SpyTag peptide were observed to interact with SpyCatcher, pointing to specific contacts important for rapid split protein reconstitution. Based on these structural insights, we expressed a range of SpyCatcher variants and identified a minimized SpyCatcher, 32 residues shorter, that maintained rapid reaction with SpyTag. Together, these results give insight into split protein β-strand complementation and enhance a distinct approach to ultrastable molecular interaction.

Versatile Labeling and Detection of Endogenous Proteins Using Tag-Assisted Split Enzyme Complementation.

Project description:Recent advances in genome engineering have expanded our capabilities to study proteins in their natural states. In particular, the ease and scalability of knocking-in small peptide tags has enabled high throughput tagging and analysis of endogenous proteins. To improve enrichment capacities and expand the functionality of knock-ins using short tags, we developed the tag-assisted split enzyme complementation (TASEC) approach, which uses two orthogonal small peptide tags and their cognate binders to conditionally drive complementation of a split enzyme upon labeled protein expression. Using this approach, we have engineered and optimized the tag-assisted split HaloTag complementation system (TA-splitHalo) and demonstrated its versatile applications in improving the efficiency of knock-in cell enrichment, detection of protein-protein interaction, and isolation of biallelic gene edited cells through multiplexing.

Peptide tag forming a rapid covalent bond to a protein, through engineering a bacterial adhesin.

Project description:Protein interactions with peptides generally have low thermodynamic and mechanical stability. Streptococcus pyogenes fibronectin-binding protein FbaB contains a domain with a spontaneous isopeptide bond between Lys and Asp. By splitting this domain and rational engineering of the fragments, we obtained a peptide (SpyTag) which formed an amide bond to its protein partner (SpyCatcher) in minutes. Reaction occurred in high yield simply upon mixing and amidst diverse conditions of pH, temperature, and buffer. SpyTag could be fused at either terminus or internally and reacted specifically at the mammalian cell surface. Peptide binding was not reversed by boiling or competing peptide. Single-molecule dynamic force spectroscopy showed that SpyTag did not separate from SpyCatcher until the force exceeded 1 nN, where covalent bonds snap. The robust reaction conditions and irreversible linkage of SpyTag shed light on spontaneous isopeptide bond formation and should provide a targetable lock in cells and a stable module for new protein architectures.

Higher-Order Structure Influences the Kinetics of Diethylpyrocarbonate Covalent Labeling of Proteins.

Project description:The combination of covalent labeling (CL) and mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a useful tool for studying protein structure due to its good structural coverage, the ability to study proteins in mixtures, and its high sensitivity. Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) is an effective CL reagent that can label N-termini and the side chains of several nucleophilic residues, providing information for about 30% of the residues in the average protein. For DEPC to provide accurate structural information, the extent of labeling must be controlled to minimize label-induced structural perturbations. In this work, we establish a quantitative correlation between general protein structural factors and DEPC reaction rates by measuring the reaction rate coefficients for several model proteins. Using principal component and regression analyses, we find that the solvent accessible surface areas of histidine and lysine residues in proteins are the primary factors that determine a protein's reactivity toward DEPC, despite the fact that other more abundant residues, such as tyrosine, threonine, and serine, are also labeled by DEPC. From the statistical analysis, a model emerges that can be used to predict the reactivity of a protein based on its structure and sequence, allowing the optimal DEPC concentration to be chosen for a given protein. The resulting model is supported by cross-validation studies and by accurately predicting of the reactivity of five test proteins. Overall, our model reveals interesting insight into the reactivity of proteins with DEPC, and it will facilitate identification of optimal DEPC labeling conditions for proteins.
