Design of oligothiophene-based tetrazoles for laser-triggered photoclick chemistry in living cells.

ABSTRACT: A 405 nm light-activatable terthiophene-based tetrazole was designed that reacts with a fumarate dipolarophile with the second-order rate constant k2 exceeding 10(3) M(-1) s(-1). The utility of this laser-activatable tetrazole in imaging microtubules in a spatiotemporally controlled manner in live cells was demonstrated.

Fluorogenic, two-photon-triggered photoclick chemistry in live mammalian cells.

Project description:The tetrazole-based photoclick chemistry has provided a powerful tool to image proteins in live cells. To extend photoclick chemistry to living organisms with improved spatiotemporal control, here we report the design of naphthalene-based tetrazoles that can be efficiently activated by two-photon excitation with a 700 nm femtosecond pulsed laser. A water-soluble, cell-permeable naphthalene-based tetrazole was identified that reacts with acrylamide with the effective two-photon cross-section for the cycloaddition reaction determined to be 3.8 GM. Furthermore, the use of this naphthalene-tetrazole for real-time, spatially controlled imaging of microtubules in live mammalian cells via the fluorogenic, two-photon-triggered photoclick chemistry was demonstrated.

Gold-Triggered Uncaging Chemistry in Living Systems.

Project description:Recent advances in bioorthogonal catalysis are increasing the capacity of researchers to manipulate the fate of molecules in complex biological systems. A bioorthogonal uncaging strategy is presented, which is triggered by heterogeneous gold catalysis and facilitates the activation of a structurally diverse range of therapeutics in cancer cell culture. Furthermore, this solid-supported catalytic system enabled locally controlled release of a fluorescent dye into the brain of a zebrafish for the first time, offering a novel way to modulate the activity of bioorthogonal reagents in the most fragile and complex organs.

Sterically shielded tetrazoles for a fluorogenic photoclick reaction: tuning cycloaddition rate and product fluorescence.

Project description:A panel of sterically shielded tetrazoles with different N-aryl groups were synthesized and subsequently evaluated in the photoinduced tetrazole-alkene cycloaddition reaction. It was found that increase in the HOMO energy of the corresponding nitrile imines leads to a faster cycloaddition reaction along with a red shift in the fluorescence emission of the pyrazoline cycloadduct.

Genetically encoded cyclopropene directs rapid, photoclick-chemistry-mediated protein labeling in mammalian cells.

Project description:We just click: Genetic incorporation of a cyclopropene amino acid CpK (see scheme) site-specifically into proteins in E.?coli and mammalian cells was achieved using an orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA(CUA) pair (CpKRS/MbtRNA(CUA)). Cyclopropene exhibited fast reaction kinetics in the photoclick reaction and allowed rapid (ca. 2?min) labeling of proteins.

A biosynthetic route to photoclick chemistry on proteins.

Project description:Light-induced chemical reactions exist in nature, regulating many important cellular and organismal functions, e.g., photosensing in prokaryotes and vision formation in mammals. Here, we report the genetic incorporation of a photoreactive unnatural amino acid, p-(2-tetrazole)phenylalanine (p-Tpa), into myoglobin site-specifically in E. coli by evolving an orthogonal tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair and the use of p-Tpa as a bioorthogonal chemical "handle" for fluorescent labeling of p-Tpa-encoded myoglobin via the photoclick reaction. Moreover, we elucidated the structural basis for the biosynthetic incorporation of p-Tpa into proteins by solving the X-ray structure of p-Tpa-specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase in complex with p-Tpa. The genetic encoding of this photoreactive amino acid should make it possible in the future to photoregulate protein function in living systems.

Design of spiro[2.3]hex-1-ene, a genetically encodable double-strained alkene for superfast photoclick chemistry.

Project description:Reactive yet stable alkene reporters offer a facile route to studying fast biological processes via the cycloaddition-based bioorthogonal reactions. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a strained spirocyclic alkene, spiro[2.3]hex-1-ene (Sph), for an accelerated photoclick chemistry, and its site-specific introduction into proteins via amber codon suppression using the wild-type pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA(CUA) pair. Because of its high ring strain and reduced steric hindrance, Sph exhibited fast reaction kinetics (k2 up to 34,000 M(-1) s(-1)) in the photoclick chemistry and afforded rapid (<10 s) bioorthogonal protein labeling.

Fluorogenic and Bioorthogonal Modification of RNA Using Photoclick Chemistry.

Project description:A bromoaryltetrazole-modified uridine was synthesized as a new RNA building block for bioorthogonal, light-activated and postsynthetic modification with commercially available fluorescent dyes. It allows "photoclick"-type modifications by irradiation with light (300 nm LED) at internal and terminal positions of presynthesized RNA with maleimide-conjugated fluorophores in good yields. The reaction was evidenced for three different dyes. During irradiation, the emission increases due to the formation of an intrinsically fluorescent pyrazoline moiety as photoclick product. The fluorogenecity of the photoclick reaction was significantly enhanced by energy transfer between the pyrazoline as the reaction product (poor emitter) and the photoclicked dye as the strong emitter. The RNA-dye conjugates show remarkable fluorescent properties, in particular an up to 9.4 fold increase of fluorescence, which are important for chemical biology and fluorescent imaging of RNA in cells.

Discovery of new photoactivatable diaryltetrazoles for photoclick chemistry via 'scaffold hopping'.

Project description:We report the discovery of two long-wavelength (365 nm) photoactivatable diaryltetrazoles through screening a small library of diaryltetrazoles that were designed using a 'scaffold hopping' strategy. A naphthalene-derived tetrazole showed excellent reactivity in the photoinduced cycloaddition reaction with methyl methacrylate under 365 nm photoirradiation in acetonitrile PBS buffer mixture. Besides, the brightly fluorescent pyrazoline cycloadducts that were formed further increase the potential utility of these new diaryltetrazoles as 'photoclick' reagents and as reporters in biological studies.

Design and synthesis of laser-activatable tetrazoles for a fast and fluorogenic red-emitting 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction.

Project description:The design and synthesis of a new class of laser light activatable tetrazoles with extended ?-systems is reported. Upon 405 nm laser light irradiation, these bithiophene-substituted tetrazoles underwent extremely fast 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl fumarate with second-order rate constants approaching 4000 M(-1) s(-1). The resulting pyrazoline cycloadducts exhibited solvent-dependent red fluorescence, making these tetrazoles potentially useful as fluorogenic probes for detecting alkenes in vivo.

Fast alkene functionalization in vivo by Photoclick chemistry: HOMO lifting of nitrile imine dipoles.

Project description:Extremely fast fluorescence labeling (<1 min) of a recombinant alkene-encoded protein in living Escherichia coli cells was observed with tetrazole 1. The electron-donating methoxy substituent raises the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of the nitrile-imine intermediate derived from 1. This strategy greatly accelerates the functionalization of alkenes by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in living systems.
