Dual-sugar imaging using isonitrile and azido-based click chemistries.

ABSTRACT: We report the first account of metabolically labelling N-acetylglucosamine, in conjunction with either N-acetylgalactosamine or N-acetylmannosamine using a combination of isonitrile- and azide-based chemistries. With the appropriately labelled fluorescent probe molecules, that react with either the azido or isonitrile groups, the method enabled co-visualisation of cancer cell glycoproteins.

Metabolic glycan imaging by isonitrile-tetrazine click chemistry.

Project description:Seeing the sugar coating: N-Acetyl-glucosamine and mannosamine derivatives tagged with an isonitrile group are metabolically incorporated into cell-surface glycans and can be detected with a fluorescent tetrazine. This bioorthogonal isonitrile-tetrazine ligation is also orthogonal to the commonly used azide-cyclooctyne ligation, and so will allow simultaneous detection of the incorporation of two different sugars.

Thiol-click chemistries for responsive neural interfaces.

Project description:Neural interfaces provide an electrical connection between computers and the nervous system: current penetrating devices are orders-of-magnitude stiffer than surrounding tissue. In this work, recent efforts in softening electronics and utilize thiol-ene and thiol-epoxy "click" reactions are built upon to incorporate fluid-sensitive hydrogen bonding into smart substrates for high electrode density neural interfaces. The modulus of these substrates drops more than two orders of magnitude in response to physiological conditions, despite fluid uptake of less than 6%, and can be tuned by the covalent crosslink density and degree of hydrogen bonding in the polymer network. Intracortical and intrafascicular electrode arrays are fabricated and characterized with impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.

Click-correlative light and electron microscopy (click-AT-CLEM) for imaging and tracking azido-functionalized sphingolipids in bacteria.

Project description:Sphingolipids, including ceramides, are a diverse group of structurally related lipids composed of a sphingoid base backbone coupled to a fatty acid side chain and modified terminal hydroxyl group. Recently, it has been shown that sphingolipids show antimicrobial activity against a broad range of pathogenic microorganisms. The antimicrobial mechanism, however, remains so far elusive. Here, we introduce 'click-AT-CLEM', a labeling technique for correlated light and electron microscopy (CLEM) based on the super-resolution array tomography (srAT) approach and bio-orthogonal click chemistry for imaging of azido-tagged sphingolipids to directly visualize their interaction with the model Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis at subcellular level. We observed ultrastructural damage of bacteria and disruption of the bacterial outer membrane induced by two azido-modified sphingolipids by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Click-AT-CLEM imaging and mass spectrometry clearly revealed efficient incorporation of azido-tagged sphingolipids into the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria as underlying cause of their antimicrobial activity.

Facile Discovery and Quantification of Isonitrile Natural Products via Tetrazine-Based Click Reactions.

Project description:A facile method for the quick discovery and quantification of isonitrile compounds from microbial cultures was established based on the isonitrile-tetrazine click reaction. This method was successfully applied to the rediscovery of diisonitrile antibotic SF2768 from an unknown strain Streptomyces tsukubensis. Finally, an in situ reduction further enabled bioorthogonal ligation of primary and secondary isonitriles for the first time.

Nucleotidyl transferase assisted DNA labeling with different click chemistries.

Project description:Here, we present a simple, modular and efficient strategy that allows the 3'-terminal labeling of DNA, regardless of whether it has been chemically or enzymatically synthesized or isolated from natural sources. We first incorporate a range of modified nucleotides at the 3'-terminus, using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. In the second step, we convert the incorporated nucleotides, using either of four highly efficient click chemistry-type reactions, namely copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, Staudinger ligation or Diels-Alder reaction with inverse electron demand. Moreover, we create internal modifications, making use of either ligation or primer extension, after the nucleotidyl transferase step, prior to the click reaction. We further study the influence of linker variants on the reactivity of azides in different click reactions. We find that different click reactions exhibit distinct substrate preferences, a fact that is often overlooked, but should be considered when labeling oligonucleotides or other biomolecules with click chemistry. Finally, our findings allowed us to extend our previously published RNA labeling strategy to the use of a different copper-free click chemistry, namely the Staudinger ligation.

Novel Liposomal Azido Mannosamine Lipids on Metabolic Cell Labeling and Imaging via Cu-Free Click Chemistry.

Project description:In comparison with the popular Ac4ManNAz applied as cell labels via Cu-free click chemistry, two novel azido mannosamine lipids with C6 and C12 esters on anomeric hydroxyl groups were prepared and encapsulated in a liposome delivery system, which enhanced chemical stabilities and showed good cell-metabolizable labeling efficiency on MDA-MB-231 cells with strong fluorescence after the treatment of DBCO-Cy5 by triazole formation via click chemistry.

Ortho-Stabilized (18) F-Azido Click Agents and their Application in PET Imaging with Single-Stranded DNA Aptamers.

Project description:Azido (18) F-arenes are important and versatile building blocks for the radiolabeling of biomolecules via Huisgen cycloaddition ("click chemistry") for positron emission tomography (PET). However, routine access to such clickable agents is challenged by inefficient and/or poorly defined multistep radiochemical approaches. A high-yielding direct radiofluorination for azido (18) F-arenes was achieved through the development of an ortho-oxygen-stabilized iodonium derivative (OID). This OID strategy addresses an unmet need for a reliable azido (18) F-arene clickable agent for bioconjugation reactions. A ssDNA aptamer was radiolabeled with this agent and visualized in a xenograft mouse model of human colon cancer by PET, which demonstrates that this OID approach is a convenient and highly efficient way of labeling and tracking biomolecules.

Facile Click-Mediated Cell Imaging Strategy of Liposomal Azido Mannosamine Lipids <i>via</i> Metabolic or Nonmetabolic Glycoengineering.

Project description:Two Ac4ManNAz (AAM) derivatives with octadecanoic ester (C18 ester) and octadecyl ether (C18 ether) attached to the anomeric hydroxyl groups were synthesized and used in preparation of liposomes. Both liposomes show strong cell-labeling efficiencies on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. The cell surface-anchored azide group can react with DBCO-Cy5 via Cu-free click chemistry. The two liposomes exhibit different azide placement mechanisms; C18-ether-AAM-treated cells have azido placement through direct insertion, while C18-ester-AAM-treated cells express azido more through metabolic glycoengineering.

Fluorescence imaging of chromosomal DNA using click chemistry.

Project description:Chromosome visualization is essential for chromosome analysis and genetic diagnostics. Here, we developed a click chemistry approach for multicolor imaging of chromosomal DNA instead of the traditional dye method. We first demonstrated that the commercially available reagents allow for the multicolor staining of chromosomes. We then prepared two pro-fluorophore moieties that served as light-up reporters to stain chromosomal DNA based on click reaction and visualized the clear chromosomes in multicolor. We applied this strategy in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and identified, with high sensitivity and specificity, telomere DNA at the end of the chromosome. We further extended this approach to observe several basic stages of cell division. We found that the click reaction enables direct visualization of the chromosome behavior in cell division. These results suggest that the technique can be broadly used for imaging chromosomes and may serve as a new approach for chromosome analysis and genetic diagnostics.

Site-Selective and Rewritable Labeling of DNA through Enzymatic, Reversible, and Click Chemistries.

Project description:Current methods for bioconjugation rely on the introduction of stable linkers that lack the required versatility to perform sequential functionalizations. However, sequential manipulations are an increasing requirement in chemical biology because they can underpin multiple analyses of the same sample to provide a wider understanding of cell behavior. Here, we present a new method to site-selectively write, remove, and rewrite chemical functionality to a biomolecule, DNA in this case. Our method combines the precision and robustness of methyltransferase-directed labeling with the reversibility of acyl hydrazones and the efficiency of click chemistry. Underpinning the method is a new S-adenosyl-l-methionine derivative to site-selectively label DNA with a bifunctional chemical handle containing an acyl hydrazone-linker and a terminal azide. Functional tags are conjugated via the azide and can be removed (i.e., untagged) when needed at the acyl hydrazone via exchange with hydroxyl amine. The formed hydrazide-labeled DNA is a versatile intermediate that can be either rewritten to reset the original chemical handle or covalently reacted with a permanent tag. This ability to write, tag, untag, and permanently tag DNA is exploited to sequentially introduce two fluorescent dyes on DNA. Finally, we demonstrate the potential of the method by developing a protocol to sort labeled DNA using magnetic beads, with subsequent amplification of the sorted DNA sample for further analysis. The presented method opens new avenues for site-selective bioconjugation and should underpin integrative approaches in chemical biology where sequential functionalizations of the same sample are required.
