A Bioorthogonal Chemical Reporter of Viral Infection.

ABSTRACT: Pathogen-selective labeling was achieved by using the novel gemcitabine metabolite analogue 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-5-ethynyluridine (dF-EdU) and click chemistry. Cells infected with Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1), but not uninfected cells, exhibit nuclear staining upon the addition of dF-EdU and a fluorescent azide. The incorporation of the dF-EdU into DNA depends on its phosphorylation by a herpes virus thymidine kinase (TK). Crystallographic analyses revealed how dF-EdU is well accommodated in the active site of HSV-1 TK, but steric clashes prevent dF-EdU from binding human TK. These results provide the first example of pathogen-enzyme-dependent incorporation and labeling of bioorthogonal functional groups in human cells.

A bioorthogonal chemical reporter for fatty acid synthase-dependent protein acylation.

Project description:Mammalian cells acquire fatty acids from dietary sources or via de novo palmitate production by fatty acid synthase (FASN). Although most cells express FASN at low levels, it is upregulated in cancers of the breast, prostate, and liver, among others, and is required during the replication of many viruses, such as Dengue virus, Hepatitis C, HIV-1, Hepatitis B, and SARS-CoV-2, among others. The precise role of FASN in disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, and whether de novo fatty acid synthesis contributes to host or viral protein acylation has been traditionally difficult to study. Here we describe a cell permeable, click-chemistry compatible alkynyl-acetate analog (Alk-4) that functions as a reporter of FASN-dependent protein acylation. In a FASN-dependent manner, Alk-4 selectively labels the cellular protein interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) at its known palmitoylation sites, a process that is essential for the antiviral activity of the protein, and the HIV-1 matrix protein at its known myristoylation site, a process that is required for membrane targeting and particle assembly. Alk-4 metabolic labeling also enabled biotin-based purification and identification of more than 200 FASN-dependent acylated cellular proteins. Thus, Alk-4 is a useful bioorthogonal tool to selectively probe FASN-mediated protein acylation in normal and diseased states.

A bioorthogonal chemical reporter for fatty acid synthase-dependent protein acylation

Project description:Mammalian fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a lipogenic enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the long chain saturated fatty acid palmitate from acetyl and malonyl CoA in the presence of NADPH. Mammalian cells acquire fatty acids through dietary sources or through FASN. Although most mammalian cells express FASN at low levels, it is upregulated in cancers and during replication of many viruses. The precise role of FASN in disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, and whether de novo fatty acid synthesis contributes to host or viral protein acylation has been traditionally difficult to study. We describe a cell permeable, click-chemistry compatible alkynyl-acetate analog (5-Hexynoic acid, or "Alk-4") that functions as a reporter of FASN-dependent protein acylation. Alk-4 metabolic labeling enabled biotin-based purification and identification of more than 200 FASN-dependent acylated cellular proteins. Alk-4 also labeled the palmitoylated host protein IFITM3 (Interferon inducible transmembrane protein-3), a restriction factor for Influenza, and the myristoylated HIV-1 MA (Matrix) protein. Thus, Alk-4 is a useful bioorthogonal tool to selectively probe FASN-mediated protein acylation in normal and diseased states.

A Bioorthogonal Chemical Reporter for the Detection and Identification of Protein Lactylation

Project description:L-Lactylation is a recently discovered post-translational modification occurring on histone lysine residues to regulate gene expression. However, the substrate scope of lactylation, especially that in non-histone proteins, remains unknown, largely due to the limitations of current methods for analyzing lactylated proteins. Herein, we report an alkynyl-functionalized bioorthogonal chemical reporter, YnLac, for the detection and identification of protein lactylation in mammalian cells. Our in-gel fluorescence and chemical proteomic analyses show that YnLac is metabolically incorporated into lactylated proteins and directly labels known lactylated lysines of histones. We further apply YnLac to the proteome-wide profiling of lactylation, revealing many novel modification sites in non-histone proteins for the first time.

Bioorthogonal Chemical Epigenetic Modifiers Enable Dose-dependent CRISPR Targeted Gene Activation

Project description:CRISPR-Cas9 systems have been developed to regulate gene expression by using either fusions to epigenetic regulators or, more recently, through the use of chemically mediated strategies. These approaches have armed researchers with new tools to examine the function of proteins by intricately controlling expression levels of specific genes. Here, we present a CRISPR based chemical approach that uses a new Chemical Epigenetic Modifier (CEM) to hone to a gene targeted with a catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9) bridged to an FK506-binding protein (FKBP). One arm of the bifunctional CEM recruits BRD4 to the target site and the other arm is composed of a bumped ligand that binds to a mutant FKBP with a compensatory hole at F36V. This bump-and-hole strategy allows for activation of target genes in a dose dependent and reversible fashion with increased specificity and high efficacy.

Bioorthogonal chemical reporters for monitoring protein acetylation.

Project description:Protein acetylation is a key post-translational modification that regulates diverse biological activities in eukaryotes. Here we report bioorthogonal chemical reporters that enable direct in-gel fluorescent visualization and proteome-wide identification of acetylated proteins via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, often termed "click chemistry". We demonstrate that two alkynyl-acetyl-CoA analogues, 4-pentynoyl-CoA and 5-hexynoyl-CoA, function as efficient substrates of lysine acetyltransferase p300 and serve as sensitive reagents for monitoring p300-catalyzed protein acetylation in vitro. In addition, we demonstrate that three alkynylacetate analogues, sodium 3-butynoate, sodium 4-pentynoate, and sodium 5-hexynoate, can be metabolically incorporated onto cellular proteins through biosynthetic mechanisms for profiling of acetylated proteins in diverse cell types. Mass spectrometry analysis of the enriched 4-pentynoate-labeled proteins revealed many reported as well as new candidate acetylated proteins from Jurkat T cells and specific sites of lysine acetylation. The bioorthogonal chemical reporters described here should serve as powerful tools for investigating protein acetylation.

Bioorthogonal Chemical Activation of Kinases in Living Systems.

Project description:Selective manipulation of protein kinases under living conditions is highly desirable yet extremely challenging, particularly in a gain-of-function fashion. Here we employ our recently developed bioorthogonal cleavage reaction as a general strategy for intracellular activation of individual kinases. Site-specific incorporation of trans-cyclooctene-caged lysine in place of the conserved catalytic lysine, in conjunction with the cleavage partner dimethyl-tetrazine, allowed efficient lysine decaging with the kinase activity chemically rescued in living systems.

Site-Specific In Vivo Bioorthogonal Ligation via Chemical Modulation.

Project description:A critical limitation of bioorthogonal click chemistry for in vivo applications has been its low reaction efficiency due to the pharmacokinetic barriers, such as blood distribution, circulation, and elimination in living organisms. To identify key factors that dominate the efficiency of click chemistry, here a rational design of near-infrared fluorophores containing tetrazine as a click moiety is proposed. Using trans-cyclooctene-modified cells in live mice, it is found that the in vivo click chemistry can be improved by subtle changes in lipophilicity and surface charges of intravenously administered moieties. By controlling pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and clearance of click moieties, it is proved that the chemical structure dominates the fate of in vivo click ligation.

Bioorthogonal Chemical Reporters for Monitoring Unsaturated Fatty-Acylated Proteins.

Project description:Dietary unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, have been shown to be covalently incorporated into a small subset of proteins, but the generality and diversity of this protein modification has not been studied. We synthesized unsaturated fatty-acid chemical reporters and determined their protein targets in mammalian cells. The reporters can induce the formation of lipid droplets and be incorporated site-specifically onto known fatty-acylated proteins and label many proteins in mammalian cells. Quantitative proteomics analysis revealed that unsaturated fatty acids modify similar protein targets to saturated fatty acids, including several immunity-associated proteins. This demonstrates that unsaturated fatty acids can directly modify many proteins to exert their unique and often beneficial physiological effects in vivo.

A NanoLuc Luciferase Reporter Pseudorabies Virus for Live Imaging and Quantification of Viral Infection.

Project description:Pseudorabies (PR), also known as Aujeszky's disease, is an acute infectious disease of pigs, resulting in significant economic losses to the pig industry in many countries. Since 2011, PR outbreaks have occurred in many Bartha-K61-vaccinated pig farms in China. The emerging pseudorabies virus (PRV) variants possess higher pathogenicity in pigs and mice than the strains isolated before. Here, a recombinant PRV (rPRVTJ-NLuc) stably expressing the NanoLuc (NLuc) luciferase fusion with the red fluorescent protein (DsRed) was constructed to trace viral replication and spread in mice. Moreover, both DsRed and NLuc luciferases were stably expressed in the infected cells, and there was no significant difference between wild-type and recombinant viruses in both growth kinetics and pathogenicity. Seven-week-old BALB/c mice were infected with 103 50% tissue culture infective dose rPRVTJ-NLuc and subjected to daily imaging. The mice infected with rPRVTJ-NLuc displayed robust bioluminescence that started 4 days postinfection (dpi), bioluminescence signal increased over time, peaked at 5 dpi, remained detectable for at least 6 dpi, and disappeared at 7 dpi, meanwhile, the increased flux accompanied by the spread of the virus from the injection site to the superior respiratory tract. However, the signal was also observed in the spinal cord, trigeminal ganglion, and partial region of the brain from separated tissues, not in living mice. Our results depicted a new approach to rapidly access the replication and pathogenicity of emerging PRVs in mice.
