Project description:Photo-click chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for revolutionizing bioconjugation technologies in pharmacological and various biomimetic applications. However, enriching the photo-click reactions to expand the bioconjugation toolkit remains challenging, especially when focusing on spatiotemporal control endowed by light activation. Herein, we describe a photo-induced defluorination acyl fluoride exchange (photo-DAFEx) as a novel type of photo-click reaction that is mediated through acyl fluorides produced by the photo-defluorination of m-trifluoromethylaniline to covalently conjugate with primary/secondary amines and thiols in an aqueous environment. (TD)-DFT calculations, together with experimental discovery, indicate that the m-NH2PhF2C(sp3)-F bond in the excited triplet state is cleaved by water molecules, which is key to inducing defluorination. Intriguingly, the benzoyl amide linkages built by this photo-click reaction exhibited a satisfactory fluorogenic performance, which allowed visualization of its formation in situ. Accordingly, this photo-controlled covalent strategy was exploited not only for the decoration of small molecules, peptide cyclization and functionalization of proteins in vitro, but also for designing photo-affinity probes targeting endogenous carbonic anhydrase II (hCA-II) in living cells.

Project description:Phototriggering of the metal-free azide to acetylene cycloaddition reaction was achieved by masking the triple bond of dibenzocyclooctynes as cyclopropenone. Such masked cyclooctynes do not react with azides in the dark. Irradiation of cyclopropenones results in the efficient (Phi(355) = 0.33) and clean regeneration of the corresponding dibenzocyclooctynes, which then undergo facile catalyst-free cycloadditions with azides to give corresponding triazoles under ambient conditions. In situ light activation of a cyclopropenone linked to biotin made it possible to label living cells expressing glycoproteins containing N-azidoacetyl-sialic acid. The cyclopropenone-based phototriggered click chemistry offers exciting opportunities to label living organisms in a temporally and spatially controlled manner and may facilitate the preparation of microarrays.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be differentiated to cells in all three germ layers, as well as cells in the extraembryonic tissues. Efforts in iPSC differentiation into pancreatic progenitors in vitro have largely been focused on optimizing soluble growth cues in conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture, whereas the impact of three-dimensional (3D) matrix properties on the morphogenesis of iPSC remains elusive. In this work, we employ gelatin-based thiol-norbornene photo-click hydrogels for in situ 3D differentiation of human iPSCs into pancreatic progenitors (PP). Molecular analysis and single cell RNA-sequencing were utilized to elucidate on the distinct identities of subpopulations within the 2D and 3D differentiated cells. We found that, while established soluble cues led to predominately PP cells in 2D culture, differentiation of iPSCs using the same soluble factors led to prominent branching morphogenesis, ductal network formation, and generation of diverse endoderm populations. Through single-cell RNA-sequencing, we found that 3D differentiation resulted in enrichments of pan-endodermal cells and ductal cells. We further noted the emergence of a group of extraembryonic cells in 3D, which was absent in 2D differentiation. The unexpected emergence of extraembryonic cells in 3D was found to be associated with enrichment of Wnt and BMP signaling pathways, which may have contributed to the emergence of diverse cell populations. The expressions of PP signature genes PDX1 and NKX6.1 were restored through inhibition of Wnt signaling at the beginning of the posterior foregut stage. To our knowledge, this work established the first 3D hydrogel system for in situ differentiation of human iPSCs into PPs. Ongoing work focuses on enhancing pancreatic differentiation efficiency through modulating physicochemical properties of the iPSC-laden matrices.

Project description:Heterobifunctional linker allows for selective catalyst-free ligation of two different azide-tagged substrates via strained-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). The linker contains an azadibenzocyclooctyne (ADIBO) moiety on one end and a cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctyne (photo-DIBO) group on the other. The first azide-derivatized substrate reacts only at the ADIBO end of the linker as the photo-DIBO moiety is azide-inert. After the completion of the first SPAAC step, photo-DIBO is activated by brief exposure to 350 nm light from a fluorescent UV lamp. The unmasked DIBO group then reacts with the second azide-tagged substrate. Both click reactions are fast (k = 0.4 and 0.07 M(-1) s(-1), respectively) and produce quantitative yield of ligation in organic solvents or aqueous solutions. The utility of the new cross-linker has been demonstrated by conjugation of azide functionalized bovine serum albumin (azido-BSA) with azido-fluorescein and by the immobilization of the latter protein on azide-derivatized silica beads. The BSA-bead linker was designed to incorporate hydrolytically labile fragment, which permits release of protein under the action of dilute acid. UV activation of the second click reaction permits spatiotemporal control of the ligation process.

Project description:We functionalize nucleic acid nanostructures with click chemistry (for attachment of cargos) and a photocleavable linker (for release). We demonstrate cargo attachment using a fluorescein dye and release using UV trigger from an RNA three-way junction, a DNA star motif and a DNA tetrahedron. Such multifunctional nucleic acid nanostructures have potential in targeted drug delivery.

Project description:The structural dependence of the photo-physical properties of substituted 2,3-distyryl (23DSI) indoles were studied using several spectroscopic techniques including steady-state UV-VIS spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, steady-state excitation spectroscopy, time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) spectroscopy, and time-resolved fluorescence upconversion spectroscopy (TRFLS). Each of 23DSI derivatives investigated showed distinct fluorescence emission and UV-VIS spectra, indicating strong structural dependence of the emission and the excitation. The UV-VIS spectra of the 23DSI derivatives showed three main identical absorption bands with minor deviations in the absorbance caused by substituent groups on the distyryl rings. The time-resolved fluorescence up-conversion studies indicated that the fluorescence undergoes a mono-exponential decay whereas the calculated fluorescence lifetime showed relatively short fluorescence lifetimes of approximately 1 ns. All of the 23DSI derivatives showed two-photon absorption upon direct excitation of 1.6 W laser pulses at 800 nm. These studies suggest that the substituents, attached to distyryl core, are capable of boosting or hindering fluorescence intensities by distorting the ?-conjugation of the 23DSI molecule. Our studies showed that 23DSI (p-F) has the highest fluorescence emission quantum yield. Theoretical calculations for the ground state of 23DSI derivatives confirmed differences in electron densities in 23DSI derivatives in the presence of different substituent attachments. The excellent fluorescence emission, high fluorescence quantum yield and two-photon absorption properties of these 23DSI molecules make them attractive candidates for potential applications in the fields of biological imaging, biomedicine, fluorescent probes, and photodynamic inactivation (PDI). B. subtilis samples, treated with micro molar solutions of 23DSI (p-OCH3) and 23DSI (p-CH3), showed very effective photodynamic inactivation (PDI) upon irradiation with white light.

Project description:Genetic code expansion is a powerful tool for the study of protein interactions, as it allows for the site-specific incorporation of a photoreactive group via non-canonical amino acids. Recently, several groups have published bifunctional amino acids that carry a handle for click chemistry in addition to the photo-crosslinker. This allows for the specific labeling of crosslinked proteins and therefore the pulldown of peptides for further analysis. This review describes the properties and advantages of different bifunctional amino acids, and gives an overview about current and future applications.

Project description:The development of a 'click, click, cy-click' process utilizing a double aza-Michael reaction to generate functionalized 1,2,5-thiadiazepane 1,1-dioxides is reported. Optimization in flow, followed by scale out of the inter-/intramolecular double aza-Michael addition has also been realized using a microwave-assisted, continuous flow organic synthesis platform (MACOS). In addition, a facile one-pot, sequential strategy employing in situ Huisgen cycloaddition post-double aza-Michael has been accomplished, and is applicable to library synthesis.

Project description:We demonstrated that copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction could be performed inside live mammalian cells without using a chelating azide. Under optimized conditions, the reaction was performed in human ovary cancer cell line OVCAR5 in which newly synthesized proteins were metabolically modified with homopropargylglycine (HPG). This model system allowed us to estimate the efficiency of the reaction on the cell membranes and in the cytosol using mass spectrometry. We found that the reaction was greatly promoted by a tris(triazolylmethyl)amine CuI ligand tethering a cell-penetrating peptide. Uptake of the ligand, copper, and a biotin-tagged azide in the cells was determined to be 69 ± 2, 163 ± 3 and 1.3 ± 0.1 µM, respectively. After 10 minutes of reaction, the product yields on the membrane and cytosolic proteins were higher than 18% and 0.8%, respectively, while 75% cells remained viable. By reducing the biothiols in the system by scraping or treatment with N-ethylmalemide, the reaction yield on the cytosolic proteins was greatly improved to ~9% and ~14%, respectively, while the yield on the membrane proteins remained unchanged. The results indicate that out of many possibilities, deactivation of the current copper catalysts by biothiols is the major reason for the low yield of CuAAC reaction in the cytosol. Overall, we have improved the efficiency for CuAAC reaction on live cells by 3-fold. Despite the low yielding inside live cells, the products that strongly bind to the intracellular targets can be detected by mass spectrometry. Hence, the in situ CuAAC reaction can be potentially used for screening of cell-specific enzyme inhibitors or biomarkers containing 1,4-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles.
