Convenient analysis of protein modification by chemical blotting with fluorogenic "click" reagents.

ABSTRACT: Direct visualization of bioorthogonal alkyne or azide handles using fluorogenic azide-alkyne cycloaddition conducted on the surface of a blot membrane. The method eliminates the need for separation steps to remove excess small molecule reagents before attachment of antigen molecules or other visualization handles, and is especially useful for the analysis of peptides and small proteins. A variety of potential fluorogenic reagents are assessed, and sensitivity (<0.1 picomole) similar to current commercially available fluorescence imaging methods is possible.

Robust and convenient analysis of protein thermal and chemical stability.

Project description:We present the software CDpal that is used to analyze thermal and chemical denaturation data to obtain information on protein stability. The software uses standard assumptions and equations applied to two-state and various types of three-state denaturation models in order to determine thermodynamic parameters. It can analyze denaturation monitored by both circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy and is extremely flexible in terms of input format. Furthermore, it is intuitive and easy to use because of the graphical user interface and extensive documentation. As illustrated by the examples herein, CDpal should be a valuable tool for analysis of protein stability.

A Fluorogenic Assay: Analysis of Chemical Modification of Lysine and Arginine to Control Proteolytic Activity of Trypsin.

Project description:The chemical modification of amino acids plays an important role in the modulation of proteins or peptides and has useful applications in the activation and stabilization of enzymes, chemical biology, shotgun proteomics, and the production of peptide-based drugs. Although chemoselective modification of amino acids such as lysine and arginine via the insertion of respective chemical moieties as citraconic anhydride and phenyl glyoxal is important for achieving desired application objectives and has been extensively reported, the extent and chemoselectivity of the chemical modification of specific amino acids using specific chemical agents (blocking or modifying agents) has yet to be sufficiently clarified owing to a lack of suitable assay methodologies. In this study, we examined the utility of a fluorogenic assay method, based on a fluorogenic tripeptide substrate (FP-AA1-AA2-AA3) and the proteolytic enzyme trypsin, in determinations of the extent and chemoselectivity of the chemical modification of lysine or arginine. As substrates, we used two fluorogenic tripeptide probes, MeRho-Lys-Gly-Leu(Ac) (lysine-specific substrate) and MeRho-Arg-Gly-Leu(Ac) (arginine-specific substrate), which were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for chemoselective modification of specific amino acids (lysine and arginine) using the fluorogenic assay. The results are summarized in terms of half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for the extent of modification and ratios of IC50 values (IC50arginine/IC50lysine and IC50lysine/IC50arginine) as a measure of the chemoselectivity of chemical modification for amino acids lysine and arginine. This novel fluorogenic assay was found to be rapid, precise, and reproducible for determinations of the extent and chemoselectivity of chemical modification.

Chemical Waltz of Organic Molecules "On Water": Saline-Assisted Sustainable Regioselective Synthesis of Fluorogenic Heterobioconjugates via Click Reaction.

Project description:A new sustainable green protocol for obtaining highly fluorogenic heterobioconjugates by a well-known copper-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction of nonfluorescent 3-azidocoumarins/benzyl azides (2a-f) and terminal alkynes (1a-e) using aqueous NaCl as a cheap and nontoxic salting-out agent under ultrasonication at ambient temperature is described. The presence of aqueous NaCl significantly influences the reaction by disturbing the water kosmotropes and augments the hydrophobic interaction of water-insoluble reactants, thus making the reaction feasible in water at neutral pH. The "beauty" of the presented ecofriendly approach is further boosted up by recycling the aqueous filtrate of the reaction mixture without further addition of NaCl, CuSO4·5H2O, and Na ascorbate up to seven cycles, resulting in effectively low copper loading (100 ppm) with excellent turn-over number (4850) and turn-over frequency (88.18 min-1). A gram-scale synthesis was also successfully achieved with 92% yield, further elaborating the scope of this methodology.

Stoichiometric and irreversible cysteine-selective protein modification using carbonylacrylic reagents.

Project description:Maleimides remain the reagents of choice for the preparation of therapeutic and imaging protein conjugates despite the known instability of the resulting products that undergo thiol-exchange reactions in vivo. Here we present the rational design of carbonylacrylic reagents for chemoselective cysteine bioconjugation. These reagents undergo rapid thiol Michael-addition under biocompatible conditions in stoichiometric amounts. When using carbonylacrylic reagents equipped with PEG or fluorophore moieties, this method enables access to protein and antibody conjugates precisely modified at pre-determined sites. Importantly, the conjugates formed are resistant to degradation in plasma and are biologically functional, as demonstrated by the selective imaging and detection of apoptotic and HER2+ cells, respectively. The straightforward preparation, stoichiometric use and exquisite cysteine selectivity of the carbonylacrylic reagents combined with the stability of the products and the availability of biologically relevant cysteine-tagged proteins make this method suitable for the routine preparation of chemically defined conjugates for in vivo applications.

Developing visible fluorogenic 'click-on' dyes for cellular imaging.

Project description:New fluorogenic dyes were designed and synthesized based on Cu(I)-catalyzed 'click' reaction. Conjugating weakly fluorescent benzothiazole derivatives with an electron-deficient alkyne group at the 2-position with azide-containing molecules in aqueous solution form 'click-on' fluorescent adducts. Model reactions and cell culture experiment indicated that the developed 'click-on' dye could be applied to labeling various biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and other molecules, in cells.

Fast Affinity Induced Reaction Sensor Based on a Fluorogenic Click Reaction for Quick Detection of Protein Biomarkers.

Project description:Despite numerous biosensors currently available, the routine biomarker detection still largely relies on traditional ELISA and Western blot. Those standard techniques are labor intensive and time-consuming. Herein we introduce a fast affinity induced reaction sensor (FAIRS) that overcomes a few limitations of traditional and emerging biosensors. FAIRS is a general, one-step method and is naturally specific in detection. FAIRS probes are composed of a sandwich ELISA antibody pair that is conjugated with two fluorogenic click chemicals. This technology leverages significant differences of antibody affinity and chemical reaction rate, which are characterized to guide probe design. The stability, sensitivity, detection range, and response time are fully characterized. Application to IL-6 detection using blood serum and cell culture medium demonstrates that FAIRS can quantify IL-6 with high sensitivity in one step. With the unique features, FAIRS probes may find broad applications in medical sciences and clinical diagnostics, where quick detection of biomarkers is demanded.

Chemical modification of <i>Bombyx mori</i> silk fibers with vinyl groups for thiol-ene click chemistry.

Project description:Natural Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) fibers were modified with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (MOI) first for the introduction of vinyl groups. Then, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol was grafted onto the SF fibers via thiol-ene click chemistry using ultraviolet light. The formations of MOI-modified and PFDT-grafted SF fibers were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The morphology of samples was also revealed by a scanning electron microscope. In addition, differential scanning calorimetry results demonstrated that SF fibers did not show significant change in thermal behavior, regardless of the chemical modification. To confirm the cytotoxicity of the prepared SF fibers, MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay was performed, and no toxicity was observed with PFDT-grafted SF fibers. The results also showed that PFDT-grafted SF fibers exhibited good antifouling properties when Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) was selected as a model for algal cells adhesion experiment.
