Fluorogenic and Bioorthogonal Modification of RNA Using Photoclick Chemistry.

ABSTRACT: A bromoaryltetrazole-modified uridine was synthesized as a new RNA building block for bioorthogonal, light-activated and postsynthetic modification with commercially available fluorescent dyes. It allows "photoclick"-type modifications by irradiation with light (300 nm LED) at internal and terminal positions of presynthesized RNA with maleimide-conjugated fluorophores in good yields. The reaction was evidenced for three different dyes. During irradiation, the emission increases due to the formation of an intrinsically fluorescent pyrazoline moiety as photoclick product. The fluorogenecity of the photoclick reaction was significantly enhanced by energy transfer between the pyrazoline as the reaction product (poor emitter) and the photoclicked dye as the strong emitter. The RNA-dye conjugates show remarkable fluorescent properties, in particular an up to 9.4 fold increase of fluorescence, which are important for chemical biology and fluorescent imaging of RNA in cells.

Fluorogenic, two-photon-triggered photoclick chemistry in live mammalian cells.

Project description:The tetrazole-based photoclick chemistry has provided a powerful tool to image proteins in live cells. To extend photoclick chemistry to living organisms with improved spatiotemporal control, here we report the design of naphthalene-based tetrazoles that can be efficiently activated by two-photon excitation with a 700 nm femtosecond pulsed laser. A water-soluble, cell-permeable naphthalene-based tetrazole was identified that reacts with acrylamide with the effective two-photon cross-section for the cycloaddition reaction determined to be 3.8 GM. Furthermore, the use of this naphthalene-tetrazole for real-time, spatially controlled imaging of microtubules in live mammalian cells via the fluorogenic, two-photon-triggered photoclick chemistry was demonstrated.

Bioorthogonal Ligation-Activated Fluorogenic FRET Dyads.

Project description:An energy transfer-based signal amplification relay concept enabling transmission of bioorthogonally activatable fluorogenicity of blue-excitable coumarins to yellow/red emitting cyanine frames is presented. Such relay mechanism resulted in improved cyanine fluorogenicities together with increased photostabilities and large apparent Stokes-shifts allowing lower background fluorescence even in no-wash bioorthogonal fluorogenic labeling schemes of intracellular structures in live cells. These energy transfer dyads sharing the same donor moiety together with their parent donor molecule allowed three-color imaging of intracellular targets using one single excitation source with separate emission windows. Sub-diffraction imaging of intracellular structures using the bioorthogonally activatable FRET dyads by STED microscopy is also presented.

Bioorthogonal chemistry-based RNA labeling technologies: evolution and current state.

Project description:To understand the structure and ensuing function of RNA in various cellular processes, researchers greatly rely on traditional as well as contemporary labeling technologies to devise efficient biochemical and biophysical platforms. In this context, bioorthogonal chemistry based on chemoselective reactions that work under biologically benign conditions has emerged as a state-of-the-art labeling technology for functionalizing biopolymers. Implementation of this technology on sugar, protein, lipid and DNA is fairly well established. However, its use in labeling RNA has posed challenges due to the fragile nature of RNA. In this feature article, we provide an account of bioorthogonal chemistry-based RNA labeling techniques developed in our lab along with a detailed discussion on other technologies put forward recently. In particular, we focus on the development and applications of covalent methods to label RNA by transcription and posttranscription chemo-enzymatic approaches. It is expected that existing as well as new bioorthogonal functionalization methods will immensely advance our understanding of RNA and support the development of RNA-based diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Versatile naphthalimide tetrazines for fluorogenic bioorthogonal labelling.

Project description:Fluorescent probes for biological imaging have revealed much about the functions of biomolecules in health and disease. Fluorogenic probes, which are fluorescent only upon a bioorthogonal reaction with a specific partner, are particularly advantageous as they ensure that fluorescent signals observed in biological imaging arise solely from the intended target. In this work, we report the first series of naphthalimide tetrazines for bioorthogonal fluorogenic labelling. We establish that all of these compounds can be used for imaging through photophysical, analytical and biological studies. The best candidate was Np6mTz, where the tetrazine ring is appended to the naphthalimide at its 6-position via a phenyl linker in a meta configuration. Taking our synthetic scaffold, we generated two targeted variants, LysoNpTz and MitoNpTz, which successfully localized within the lysosomes and mitochondria respectively, without the requirement of genetic modification. In addition, the naphthalimide tetrazine system was used for the no-wash imaging of insulin amyloid fibrils in vitro, providing a new method that can monitor their growth kinetics and morphology. Since our synthetic approach is simple and modular, these new naphthalimide tetrazines provide a novel scaffold for a range of bioorthogonal tetrazine-based imaging agents for selective staining and sensing of biomolecules.

A biosynthetic route to photoclick chemistry on proteins.

Project description:Light-induced chemical reactions exist in nature, regulating many important cellular and organismal functions, e.g., photosensing in prokaryotes and vision formation in mammals. Here, we report the genetic incorporation of a photoreactive unnatural amino acid, p-(2-tetrazole)phenylalanine (p-Tpa), into myoglobin site-specifically in E. coli by evolving an orthogonal tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair and the use of p-Tpa as a bioorthogonal chemical "handle" for fluorescent labeling of p-Tpa-encoded myoglobin via the photoclick reaction. Moreover, we elucidated the structural basis for the biosynthetic incorporation of p-Tpa into proteins by solving the X-ray structure of p-Tpa-specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase in complex with p-Tpa. The genetic encoding of this photoreactive amino acid should make it possible in the future to photoregulate protein function in living systems.

Specific pathogen detection using bioorthogonal chemistry and diagnostic magnetic resonance.

Project description:The development of faster and more sensitive detection methods capable of identifying specific bacterial species and strains has remained a longstanding clinical challenge. Thus to date, the diagnosis of bacterial infections continues to rely on the performance of time-consuming microbiological cultures. Here, we demonstrate the use of bioorthogonal chemistry for magnetically labeling specific pathogens to enable their subsequent detection by nuclear magnetic resonance. Antibodies against a bacterial target of interest were first modified with trans-cyclooctene and then coupled to tetrazine-modified magnetic nanoprobes, directly on the bacteria. This labeling method was verified by surface plasmon resonance as well as by highly specific detection of Staphylococcus aureus using a miniaturized diagnostic magnetic resonance system. Compared to other copper-free bioorthogonal chemistries, the cycloaddition reaction reported here displayed faster kinetics and yielded higher labeling efficiency. Considering the short assay times and the portability of the necessary instrumentation, it is feasible that this approach could be adapted for clinical use in resource-limited settings.

Sterically shielded tetrazoles for a fluorogenic photoclick reaction: tuning cycloaddition rate and product fluorescence.

Project description:A panel of sterically shielded tetrazoles with different N-aryl groups were synthesized and subsequently evaluated in the photoinduced tetrazole-alkene cycloaddition reaction. It was found that increase in the HOMO energy of the corresponding nitrile imines leads to a faster cycloaddition reaction along with a red shift in the fluorescence emission of the pyrazoline cycloadduct.

Development of prostate specific membrane antigen targeted ultrasound microbubbles using bioorthogonal chemistry.

Project description:Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted microbubbles (MBs) were developed using bioorthogonal chemistry. Streptavidin-labeled MBs were treated with a biotinylated tetrazine (MBTz) and targeted to PSMA expressing cells using trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-functionalized anti-PSMA antibodies (TCO-anti-PSMA). The extent of MB binding to PSMA positive cells for two different targeting strategies was determined using an in vitro flow chamber. The initial approach involved pretargeting, where TCO-anti-PSMA was first incubated with PSMA expressing cells and followed by MBTz, which subsequently showed a 2.8 fold increase in the number of bound MBs compared to experiments performed in the absence of TCO-anti-PSMA. Using direct targeting, where TCO-anti-PSMA was linked to MBTz prior to initiation of the assay, a 5-fold increase in binding compared to controls was observed. The direct targeting approach was subsequently evaluated in vivo using a human xenograft tumor model and two different PSMA-targeting antibodies. The US signal enhancements observed were 1.6- and 5.9-fold greater than that for non-targeted MBs. The lead construct was also evaluated in a head-to-head study using mice bearing both PSMA positive or negative tumors in separate limbs. The human PSMA expressing tumors exhibited a 2-fold higher US signal compared to those tumors deficient in human PSMA. The results demonstrate both the feasibility of preparing PSMA-targeted MBs and the benefits of using bioorthogonal chemistry to create targeted US probes.

Discovery of new photoactivatable diaryltetrazoles for photoclick chemistry via 'scaffold hopping'.

Project description:We report the discovery of two long-wavelength (365 nm) photoactivatable diaryltetrazoles through screening a small library of diaryltetrazoles that were designed using a 'scaffold hopping' strategy. A naphthalene-derived tetrazole showed excellent reactivity in the photoinduced cycloaddition reaction with methyl methacrylate under 365 nm photoirradiation in acetonitrile PBS buffer mixture. Besides, the brightly fluorescent pyrazoline cycloadducts that were formed further increase the potential utility of these new diaryltetrazoles as 'photoclick' reagents and as reporters in biological studies.

Probing intracellular biomarkers and mediators of cell activation using nanosensors and bioorthogonal chemistry.

Project description:Nanomaterials offer unique physical properties that make them ideal biosensors for scant cell populations. However, specific targeting of nanoparticles to intracellular proteins has been challenging. Here, we describe a technique to improve intracellular biomarker sensing using nanoparticles that is based on bioorthogonal chemistry. Using trans-cyclooctene-modified affinity ligands that are administered to semipermeabilized cells and revealed by cycloaddition reaction with tetrazine-conjugated nanoparticles, we demonstrate site-specific amplification of nanomaterial binding. We also show that this technique is capable of sensing protein biomarkers and phosho-protein signal mediators, both within the cytosol and nucleus, via magnetic or fluorescent modalities. We expect the described method will have broad applications in nanomaterial-based diagnostics and therapeutics.
