Aminooxy Click Chemistry as a Tool for Bis-homo and Bis-hetero Ligand Conjugation to Nucleic Acids.

ABSTRACT: An aminooxy click chemistry (AOCC) strategy was used to synthesize nucleoside building blocks for incorporation during solid-support synthesis of oligonucleotides to enable bis-homo and bis-hetero conjugation of various biologically relevant ligands. The bis-homo aminooxy conjugation leads to bivalent ligand presentation, whereas the bis-hetero conjugation allows the placement of different ligands with either the same or different chemical linkages. This facile synthetic methodology allows introduction of two different ligands with different biological functions simultaneously.

Conjugation Chemistry-Dependent T-Cell Activation with Spherical Nucleic Acids.

Project description:Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) can be potent sequence-specific stimulators of antigen presenting cells (APCs). When loaded with peptide antigens, they can be used to activate the immune system to train T-cells to specifically kill cancer cells. Herein, the role of peptide chemical conjugation to the DNA, which is used to load SNAs with antigens via hybridization, is explored in the context of APC activation. Importantly, though the antigen chemistry does not impede TLR-9 regulated APC activation, it significantly augments the downstream T-cell response in terms of both activation and proliferation. A comparison of three linker types, (1) noncleavable, (2) cleavable but nontraceless, and (3) traceless, reveals up to an 8-fold improvement in T-cell proliferation when the traceless linker is used. This work underscores the critical importance of the choice of conjugation chemistry in vaccine development.

Peptide conjugation via CuAAC 'click' chemistry.

Project description:The copper (I)-catalyzed alkyne azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) or 'click' reaction, is a highly versatile reaction that can be performed under a variety of reaction conditions including various solvents, a wide pH and temperature range, and using different copper sources, with or without additional ligands or reducing agents. This reaction is highly selective and can be performed in the presence of other functional moieties. The flexibility and selectivity has resulted in growing interest in the application of CuAAC in various fields. In this review, we briefly describe the importance of the structural folding of peptides and proteins and how the 1,4-disubstituted triazole product of the CuAAC reaction is a suitable isoster for an amide bond. However the major focus of the review is the application of this reaction to produce peptide conjugates for tagging and targeting purpose, linkers for multifunctional biomacromolecules, and reporter ions for peptide and protein analysis.

Pseudo-Ligandless Click Chemistry for Oligonucleotide Conjugation.

Project description:Particularly for its use in bioconjugations, the copper-catalyzed (or copper-promoted) azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction or 'click chemistry', has become an essential component of the modern chemical biologist's toolbox. Click chemistry has been applied to DNA, and more recently, RNA conjugations, and the protocols presented here can be used for either. The reaction can be carried out in aqueous buffer, and uses acetonitrile as a minor co-solvent that serves as a ligand to stabilize the copper. The method also includes details on the analysis of the reaction product. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

ClampFISH detects individual nucleic acid molecules using click chemistry-based amplification.

Project description:Methods for detecting single nucleic acids in cell and tissues, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), are limited by relatively low signal intensity and nonspecific probe binding. Here we present click-amplifying FISH (clampFISH), a method for fluorescence detection of nucleic acids that achieves high specificity and high-gain (>400-fold) signal amplification. ClampFISH probes form a 'C' configuration upon hybridization to the sequence of interest in a double helical manner. The ends of the probes are ligated together using bio-orthogonal click chemistry, effectively locking the probes around the target. Iterative rounds of hybridization and click amplify the fluorescence intensity. We show that clampFISH enables the detection of RNA species with low-magnification microscopy and in RNA-based flow cytometry. Additionally, we show that the modular design of clampFISH probes allows multiplexing of RNA and DNA detection, that the locking mechanism prevents probe detachment in expansion microscopy, and that clampFISH can be applied in tissue samples.

Messenger RNA enrichment using synthetic oligo(T) click nucleic acids.

Project description:Enrichment of mRNA is a key step in a number of molecular biology techniques, particularly in the rapidly growing field of transcriptomics. Currently, mRNA is isolated using oligo(thymine) DNA (oligo(dT)) immobilized on solid supports, which binds to the poly(A) tail of mRNA to pull the mRNA out of solution through the use of magnets or centrifugal filters. Here, a simple method to isolate mRNA by complexing it with synthetic click nucleic acids (CNAs) is described. Oligo(T) CNA bound efficiently to mRNA, and because of the insolubility of CNA in water, >90% of mRNA was readily removed from solution using this method. Simple washing, buffer exchange, and heating steps enabled mRNA's enrichment from total RNA, with a yield of 3.1 ± 1.5% of the input total RNA by mass, comparable to the yield from commercially available mRNA enrichment beads. Further, the integrity and activity of mRNA after CNA-facilitated pulldown and release was evaluated through two assays. In vitro translation of EGFP mRNA confirmed the translatability of mRNA into functional protein and RT-qPCR was used to amplify enriched mRNA from total RNA extracts and compare gene expression to results obtained using commercially available products.

Click Chemistry in Lead Optimization of Boronic Acids as ?-Lactamase Inhibitors.

Project description:Boronic acid transition-state inhibitors (BATSIs) represent one of the most promising classes of ?-lactamase inhibitors. Here we describe a new class of BATSIs, namely, 1-amido-2-triazolylethaneboronic acids, which were synthesized by combining the asymmetric homologation of boronates with copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition for the stereoselective insertion of the amido group and the regioselective formation of the 1,4-disubstituted triazole, respectively. This synthetic pathway, which avoids intermediate purifications, proved to be flexible and efficient, affording in good yields a panel of 14 BATSIs bearing three different R1 amide side chains (acetamido, benzylamido, and 2-thienylacetamido) and several R substituents on the triazole. This small library was tested against two clinically relevant class C ?-lactamases from Enterobacter spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The K(i) value of the best compound (13a) was as low as 4 nM with significant reduction of bacterial resistance to the combination of cefotaxime/13a.

Bifunctional Non-Canonical Amino Acids: Combining Photo-Crosslinking with Click Chemistry.

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.

Introduction of multiphosphonate ligand to peptide nucleic acid for metal ion conjugation.

Project description:Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is one of the most widely used synthetic DNA analogs. Conjugation of functional molecules to PNA is very effective to further widen its potential applications. For this purpose, here we report the synthesis of several ligand monomers and introduced them to PNA. These ligand-modified PNAs attract cerium ion and are useful for site-selective DNA hydrolysis. It should be noted that these ligands on PNA are also effective even under the conditions of invasion complex.

Click chemistry enables comprehensive preclinical evaluation of targeted epigenetic therapies [Click-Seq 2]

Project description:The success of targeted therapies hinges on our ability to understand the molecular and cellular mechanism of action of these agents. Here we modify various BET bromodomain inhibitors, an exemplar novel targeted therapy, to create functionally conserved compounds that are amenable to click-chemistry and can be used as molecular probes in vitro and in vivo. Using click-proteomics and click-sequencing we provide new mechanistic insights to explain the gene regulatory function of BRD4 and the transcriptional changes invoked by BET inhibitors. In mouse models of acute leukaemia, we use high resolution microscopy and flow cytometry to highlight the underappreciated heterogeneity of drug activity within tumour cells located in different tissue compartments. We also demonstrate the differential distribution and effects of the drug in normal and malignant cells in vivo. These data provide critical insights that reveal the cellular and molecular details for the efficacy and limitations of these agents. This study provides a framework for the pre-clinical assessment of other conventional and targeted therapies.
