ABSTRACT: Bioorthogonally activated smart probes greatly facilitate the selective labeling of biomolecules in living system. Herein, we described a novel type of smart probes with tunable reaction rates, high fluorescence turn-on ratio, and easy access. The practicality of such probes was demonstrated by selective labeling of lipid and hCAII in Hela cells.

Fluorescent turn-on probes for wash-free mRNA imaging <i>via</i> covalent site-specific enzymatic labeling.

Project description:Investigating the many roles RNA plays in cellular regulation and function has increased demand for tools to explore RNA tracking and localization within cells. Our recently reported RNA-TAG (transglycosylation at guanine) approach uses an RNA-modifying enzyme, tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT), to accomplish covalent labeling of an RNA of interest with fluorescent tracking agents in a highly selective and efficient manner. Unfortunately, labeling by this method currently suffers from a high nonspecific fluorescent background and is currently unsuitable for imaging RNA within complex cellular environments. Herein we report the design and synthesis of novel fluorogenic thiazole orange probes that significantly lower nonspecific binding and background fluorescence and, as a result, provide up to a 100-fold fluorescence intensity increase after labeling. Using these fluorogenic labeling agents, we were able to image mRNA expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells in a wash-free manner.

A Fluorescent Hydrogen Peroxide Probe Based on a 'Click' Modified Coumarin Fluorophore.

Project description:Herein a water-soluble 'click' modified coumarin-based fluorescent probe for hydrogen peroxide is reported. This probe shows significant intensity increases (up to 5 fold) in near-green fluorescence upon reaction with hydrogen peroxide, and good selectivity over other reactive oxygen species.

Efficient and wash-free labeling of membrane proteins using engineered Npu DnaE split-inteins.

Project description:An efficient and wash-free method to conjugate a fluorescent tag to a target membrane protein is developed, using engineered Npu DnaE split-inteins. This approach allowed fast labeling while avoiding the strenuous synthesis of a long polypeptide. Two different modes of labeling, namely specific binding and covalent conjugation, are observed. The covalent labeling was monitored within 5 min, without background staining.

A unimolecular DNA fluorescent probe for determination of copper ions based on click chemistry.

Project description:A homogenous fluorescence method was constructed for Cu2+ detection by employing DNA-templated click chemistry and exonuclease reaction. In this strategy, a dumbbell shaped DNA probe, which contained an alkyne group and an azide group at its ends, was designed as the template for the click chemistry reaction, and also the signal probe. In the absence of Cu2+, the DNA probe was digested into small oligonucleotide fragments by exonuclease, resulting in a low fluorescence background. However, this DNA probe can be sealed at its two ends by Cu2+-induced click chemistry ligation in the presence of Cu2+. This closed structure of DNA would remain stable after addition of exonuclease, and could then be stained by SYBR Green I. A strong fluorescence signal was observed, which was related to the concentration of Cu2+. This assay showed high selectivity and reached the detection limit of 39 nM. Moreover, the proposed strategy exhibited satisfactory detection results in real complex sample analysis, and has promising application in environmental monitoring and food safety.

Direct fluorescent labeling of NF186 and NaV1.6 in living primary neurons using bioorthogonal click chemistry.

Project description:The axon initial segment (AIS) is a highly specialized neuronal compartment that regulates the generation of action potentials and maintenance of neuronal polarity. Live imaging of the AIS is challenging due to the limited number of suitable labeling methods. To overcome this limitation, we established a novel approach for live labeling of the AIS using unnatural amino acids (UAAs) and click chemistry. The small size of UAAs and the possibility of introducing them virtually anywhere into target proteins make this method particularly suitable for labeling of complex and spatially restricted proteins. Using this approach, we labeled two large AIS components, the 186 kDa isoform of neurofascin (NF186; encoded by Nfasc) and the 260 kDa voltage-gated Na+ channel (NaV1.6, encoded by Scn8a) in primary neurons and performed conventional and super-resolution microscopy. We also studied the localization of epilepsy-causing NaV1.6 variants with a loss-of-function effect. Finally, to improve the efficiency of UAA incorporation, we developed adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors for click labeling in neurons, an achievement that could be transferred to more complex systems such as organotypic slice cultures, organoids, and animal models.

Synthesis of a fluorogenic cyclooctyne activated by Cu-free click chemistry.

Project description:Cyclooctyne-based probes that become fluorescent upon reaction with azides are important targets for real-time imaging of azide-labeled biomolecules. The concise synthesis of a coumarin-conjugated cyclooctyne, coumBARAC, that undergoes a 10-fold enhancement in fluorescence quantum yield upon triazole formation with organic azides is reported. The design principles embodied in coumBARAC establish a platform for generating fluorogenic cyclooctynes suited for biological imaging.

Click-EM for imaging metabolically tagged nonprotein biomolecules.

Project description:EM has long been the main technique for imaging cell structures with nanometer resolution but has lagged behind light microscopy in the crucial ability to make specific molecules stand out. Here we introduce click-EM, a labeling technique for correlative light microscopy and EM imaging of nonprotein biomolecules. In this approach, metabolic labeling substrates containing bioorthogonal functional groups are provided to cells for incorporation into biopolymers by endogenous biosynthetic machinery. The unique chemical functionality of these analogs is exploited for selective attachment of singlet oxygen-generating fluorescent dyes via bioorthogonal 'click chemistry' ligations. Illumination of dye-labeled structures generates singlet oxygen to locally catalyze the polymerization of diaminobenzidine into an osmiophilic reaction product that is readily imaged by EM. We describe the application of click-EM in imaging metabolically tagged DNA, RNA and lipids in cultured cells and neurons and highlight its use in tracking peptidoglycan synthesis in the Gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.

Click-Addressable Cassette for Photoaffinity Labeling.

Project description:A small molecule 1 was designed to contain an alkyne, a trifluoromethyl phenyldiazirine, and a free piperidine-NH for facile conjugation to protein binding ligands. This "cassette" 1 was synthesized via a relatively direct route involving only routine steps. In this proof-of-concept study, putative ligands for carbonic anhydrase IX and for TrkC were conjugated to 1. Photoaffinity labeling was performed using purified extracellular regions of both these protein-receptors, and using cells that express these receptors (isolation via a pull-down procedure), labeling of the protein was observed in all four experiments.

Click-free imaging of carbohydrate trafficking in live cells using an azido photothermal probe.

Project description:Real-time tracking of intracellular carbohydrates remains challenging. While click chemistry allows bio-orthogonal tagging with fluorescent probes, the reaction permanently alters the target molecule and only allows a single snapshot. Here, we demonstrate click-free mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) imaging of azide-tagged carbohydrates in live cells. Leveraging the micromolar detection sensitivity for 6-azido-trehalose (TreAz) and the 300-nm spatial resolution of MIP imaging, the trehalose recycling pathway in single mycobacteria, from cytoplasmic uptake to membrane localization, is directly visualized. A peak shift of azide in MIP spectrum further uncovers interactions between TreAz and intracellular protein. MIP mapping of unreacted azide after click reaction reveals click chemistry heterogeneity within a bacterium. Broader applications of azido photothermal probes to visualize the initial steps of the Leloir pathway in yeasts and the newly synthesized glycans in mammalian cells are demonstrated.
