Protein-ligand interactions investigated by thermal shift assays (TSA) and dual polarization interferometry (DPI).

ABSTRACT: Over the last decades, a wide range of biophysical techniques investigating protein-ligand interactions have become indispensable tools to complement high-resolution crystal structure determinations. Current approaches in solution range from high-throughput-capable methods such as thermal shift assays (TSA) to highly accurate techniques including microscale thermophoresis (MST) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) that can provide a full thermodynamic description of binding events. Surface-based methods such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and dual polarization interferometry (DPI) allow real-time measurements and can provide kinetic parameters as well as binding constants. DPI provides additional spatial information about the binding event. Here, an account is presented of new developments and recent applications of TSA and DPI connected to crystallography.

TSA-CRAFT: A Free Software for Automatic and Robust Thermal Shift Assay Data Analysis.

Project description:Thermal shift assay (TSA) is an increasingly popular technique used for identifying protein stabilizing conditions or interacting ligands in X-ray crystallography and drug discovery applications. Although the setting up and running of TSA reactions is a relatively simple process, the subsequent analysis of TSA data, especially in high-throughput format, requires substantial amount of effort if conducted manually. We therefore developed the Thermal Shift Assay-Curve Rapid and Automatic Fitting Tool (TSA-CRAFT), a freely available software that enable automatic analysis of TSA data of any throughput. TSA-CRAFT directly reads real-time PCR instrument data files and displays the analyzed results in a web browser. This software features streamlined data processing and Boltzmann equation fitting, which is demonstrated in this study to provide more accurate data analysis than the commonly used first-derivative method. TSA-CRAFT is freely available as a cross-operating system-compatible standalone tool ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/tsa-craft/ ) and also as a freely accessible web server ( http://tbtlab.org/tsacraft.html ).

POT1 stability and binding measured by fluorescence thermal shift assays.

Project description:The protein POT1 (Protection of Telomeres 1) is an integral part of the shelterin complex that protects the ends of human chromosomes from degradation or end fusions. It is the only component of shelterin that binds single-stranded DNA. We describe here the application of two separate fluorescent thermal shift assays (FTSA) that provide quantitative biophysical characterization of POT1 stability and its interactions. The first assay uses Sypro Orange™ and monitors the thermal stability of POT1 and its binding under a variety of conditions. This assay is useful for the quality control of POT1 preparations, for biophysical characterization of its DNA binding and, potentially, as an efficient screening tool for binding of small molecule drug candidates. The second assay uses a FRET-labeled human telomeric G-quadruplex structure that reveals the effects of POT1 binding on thermal stability from the DNA frame of reference. These complementary assays provide efficient biophysical approaches for the quantitative characterization of multiple aspects of POT1 structure and function. The results from these assays provide thermodynamics details of POT1 folding, the sequence selectivity of its DNA binding and the thermodynamic profile for its binding to its preferred DNA binding sequence. Most significantly, results from these assays elucidate two mechanisms for the inhibition of POT1 -DNA interactions. The first is by competitive inhibition at the POT1 DNA binding site. The second is indirect and is by stabilization of G-quadruplex formation within the normal POT1 single-stranded DNA sequence to prevent POT1 binding.

Optimization of protein samples for NMR using thermal shift assays.

Project description:Maintaining a stable fold for recombinant proteins is challenging, especially when working with highly purified and concentrated samples at temperatures >20 °C. Therefore, it is worthwhile to screen for different buffer components that can stabilize protein samples. Thermal shift assays or ThermoFluor(®) provide a high-throughput screening method to assess the thermal stability of a sample under several conditions simultaneously. Here, we describe a thermal shift assay that is designed to optimize conditions for nuclear magnetic resonance studies, which typically require stable samples at high concentration and ambient (or higher) temperature. We demonstrate that for two challenging proteins, the multicomponent screen helped to identify ingredients that increased protein stability, leading to clear improvements in the quality of the spectra. Thermal shift assays provide an economic and time-efficient method to find optimal conditions for NMR structural studies.

Ligand-protein interactions in lysozyme investigated through a dual-resolution model.

Project description:A fully atomistic (AT) modeling of biological macromolecules at relevant length- and time-scales is often cumbersome or not even desirable, both in terms of computational effort required and a posteriori analysis. This difficulty can be overcome with the use of multiresolution models, in which different regions of the same system are concurrently described at different levels of detail. In enzymes, computationally expensive AT detail is crucial in the modeling of the active site in order to capture, for example, the chemically subtle process of ligand binding. In contrast, important yet more collective properties of the remainder of the protein can be reproduced with a coarser description. In the present work, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach through the calculation of the binding free energy of hen egg white lysozyme with the inhibitor di-N-acetylchitotriose. Particular attention is payed to the impact of the mapping, that is, the selection of AT and coarse-grained residues, on the binding free energy. It is shown that, in spite of small variations of the binding free energy with respect to the active site resolution, the separate contributions coming from different energetic terms (such as electrostatic and van der Waals interactions) manifest a stronger dependence on the mapping, thus pointing to the existence of an optimal level of intermediate resolution.

Analysis of protein stability and ligand interactions by thermal shift assay.

Project description:Purification of recombinant proteins for biochemical assays and structural studies is time-consuming and presents inherent difficulties that depend on the optimization of protein stability. The use of dyes to monitor thermal denaturation of proteins with sensitive fluorescence detection enables rapid and inexpensive determination of protein stability using real-time PCR instruments. By screening a wide range of solution conditions and additives in a 96-well format, the thermal shift assay easily identifies conditions that significantly enhance the stability of recombinant proteins. The same approach can be used as an initial low-cost screen to discover new protein-ligand interactions by capitalizing on increases in protein stability that typically occur upon ligand binding. This unit presents a methodological workflow for small-scale, high-throughput thermal denaturation of recombinant proteins in the presence of SYPRO Orange dye.

Large-scale characterization of drug mechanism of action using proteome-wide thermal shift assays.

Project description:In response to an ever-increasing demand of new small molecules therapeutics, numerous chemical and genetic tools have been developed to interrogate compound mechanism of action. Owing to its ability to characterize compound-dependent changes in thermal stability, the proteome-wide thermal shift assay has emerged as a powerful tool in this arsenal. The most recent iterations have drastically improved the overall efficiency of these assays, providing an opportunity to screen compounds at a previously unprecedented rate. Taking advantage of this advance, we quantified 1.498 million thermal stability measurements in response to multiple classes of therapeutic and tool compounds (96 compounds in living cells and 70 compounds in lysates). When interrogating the dataset as a whole, approximately 80% of compounds (with quantifiable targets) caused a significant change in the thermal stability of an annotated target. There was also a wealth of evidence portending off-target engagement despite the extensive use of the compounds in the laboratory and/or clinic. Finally, the combined application of cell- and lysate-based assays, aided in the classification of primary (direct ligand binding) and secondary (indirect) changes in thermal stability. Overall, this study highlights the value of these assays in the drug development process by affording an unbiased and reliable assessment of compound mechanism of action.

Assessing the Efficacy of Mdm2/Mdm4-Inhibiting Stapled Peptides Using Cellular Thermal Shift Assays.

Project description:Previous publications on stapled peptide inhibitors against Mdm2/Mdm4-p53 interactions have established that this new class of drugs have the potential to be easily optimised to attain high binding affinity and specificity, but the mechanisms controlling their cellular uptake and target engagement remain elusive and controversial. To aid in understanding the rules of peptide and staple design, and to enable rapid optimisation, we employed the newly-developed cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA). CETSA was able to validate stapled peptide binding to Mdm2 and Mdm4, and the method was also used to determine the extent of cellular uptake, cellular availability, and intracellular binding of the endogenous target proteins in its native environment. Our data suggest that while the stapled peptides engage their targets intracellularly, more work is needed to improve their cellular entry and target engagement efficiency in vivo. CETSA now provides a valuable tool to optimize such in vivo properties of stapled peptides.

Polarization interferometry for real-time spectroscopic plasmonic sensing.

Project description:We present quantitative, spectroscopic polarization interferometry phase measurements on plasmonic surfaces for sensing applications. By adding a liquid crystal variable wave plate in our beam path, we are able to measure phase shifts due to small refractive index changes on the sensor surface. By scanning in a quick sequence, our technique is extended to demonstrate real-time measurements. While this optical technique is applicable to different sensor geometries-e.g., nanoparticles, nanogratings, or nanoapertures-the plasmonic sensors we use here consist of an ultrasmooth gold layer with buried linear gratings. Using these devices and our phase measurement technique, we calculate a figure of merit that shows improvement over measuring only surface plasmon resonance shifts from a reflected intensity spectrum. To demonstrate the general-purpose versatility of our phase-resolved measurements, we also show numerical simulations with another common device architecture: periodic plasmonic slits. Since our technique inherently measures both the intensity and phase of the reflected or transmitted light simultaneously, quantitative sensor device characterization is possible.

Dual Ligand Effects

Project description:We identified differentially expressed genes in response to single and double ligand treatments (LPS, IFG, 2MA, LPS plus 2MA, and LPS plus IFG). The majority of the regulated transcripts responded additively to dual ligand treatment. However, a significant fraction responded in a non-additive fashion. Several cytokines showing non-additive transcriptional responses to dual ligand treatment also showed non-additive protein production/secretion responses in separate experiments. Many of the genes with non-additive responses to LPS plus 2MA showed enhanced responses and encoded pro-inflammatory proteins. On the other hand, LPS plus IFG appeared to induce both non-additive enhancement and non-additive attenuation of gene expression. The affected genes were associated with a variety of biological functions. These experiments reveal both dependent and independent regulatory pathways and further analyses may point out the specific nature of the regulatory interactions.
