M-Acetylanilido-GTP, a novel photoaffinity label for GTP-binding proteins: synthesis and application.

ABSTRACT: A novel photoaffinity label, m-acetylanilido-GTP (m-AcAGTP), was synthesized and used to identify GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins). This GTP analogue is easily prepared and can be used for photoaffinity labelling of G-proteins without chromatographic purification. In the presence of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoprenaline, it activates turkey erythrocyte adenylate cyclase. This activation persists even when the beta-adrenergic receptor is subsequently blocked by antagonist, indicating that the GTP analogue is resistant to hydrolysis. The apparent Ka for activation of turkey erythrocyte adenylate cyclase by m-AcAGTP was found to be 0.21 microM, a value similar to that for guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate. m-AcAGTP also effectively inhibited the light-dependent GTPase of Musca fly eye membranes. Photoaffinity labelling of fly eye membranes with [alpha-32P]m-AcAGTP, followed by immunoprecipitation of G-protein Gq, identified a labelled protein band with the mobility of a 41.5 kDa protein on SDS/PAGE. Labelling of this protein was enhanced 9-fold in blue over red illuminated membranes, containing metarhodopsin and rhodopsin respectively. Labelling of alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins was also demonstrated in turkey erythrocyte membranes. The ease of preparation of m-AcAGTP and the chemical properties of the photoreactive acetophenone make this affinity label an important new tool in studies of cellular phenomena mediated by guanine nucleotide-binding proteins.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Application of Novel Photoaffinity Probes of Dihydropyridine Derivatives, BAY R3401.

Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms of BAY R3401, four types of novel photoaffinity probes bearing different secondary tags were synthesized. Their potency for glycogenolysis was evaluated in primary human liver HL-7702 cells and HepG2 cells. Probe 2d showed the best activity in primary human liver HL-7702 cells and HepG2 cells, with IC50 values of 4.45 μM and 28.49 μM, respectively. Likewise, probe 5d showed IC50 values of 6.46 μM in primary human liver HL-7702 cells and 15.29 μM in HepG2 cells, respectively. Photoaffinity labeling experiments were also performed and protein bands larger than 170 kDa were specifically tagged by probe 2d. The results suggest that the synthesized probe 2d might be a very promising tool for the isolation of the target proteins of BAY R3401.

A photoaffinity probe that targets folate-binding proteins.

Project description:Folate and related derivatives are essential small molecules required for survival. Of significant interest is the biological role and necessity of folate in the crosstalk between commensal organisms and their respective hosts, including the tremendously complex human distal gut microbiome. Here, we designed a folate-based probe consisting of a photo-crosslinker to detect and quantitate folate-binding proteins from proteomic samples. We demonstrate the selectivity of our probe for the well-established human folate-binding protein dihydrofolate reductase and show no promiscuous labeling occurs with human caspase-3 or bovine serum albumin, which served as negative controls. Affinity-based enrichment of folate-binding proteins from an E. coli lysate in combination with mass spectrometry proteomics verified the ability of our probe to isolate low-abundance folate-dependent proteins. We envision that our probe will serve as a tool to elucidate the roles of commensal microbial folate-binding proteins in health and microbiome-related diseases.

9-azidoacridine, a new photoaffinity label for nucleotide- and aromatic-binding sites in proteins.

Project description:The effect of the photolytic reagent 9-azidoacridine, optionally 3H-labelled, was studied both kinetically and structurally on nine different enzymes, namely alpha-chymotrypsin, lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, alanine dehydrogenase, D-amino acid oxidase, ribonuclease A, alkaline phosphatase and alpha-amylase. Dark inhibition was observed in several cases. The concentration of the inhibitor ranged from 0.2 microM to 0.67 microM and demonstrated competitive kinetics with nucleotide cofactors when present. All concentrations of inhibitor showed increased inhibition on photolysis. Examination of the oligopeptides from hydrolysis of the covalently 3H-labelled derivative in conjunction with known amino acid sequence and tertiary structure established that the primary site of interaction in those cases for which the tertiary structure was available involved the active-site region. The above results in conjunction with those obtained with the structural analogues 9-aminoacridine and 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine established that this reagent acts as a molecular probe of aromatic- and, in particular, nucleotide-binding sites. This reagent provides a further additional method for studying the nucleotide cofactor domain.

Identifying Poly(ADP-ribose)-Binding Proteins with Photoaffinity-Based Proteomics.

Project description:Post-translational modification of proteins with poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is an important component of the DNA damage response. Four PAR synthesis inhibitors have recently been approved for the treatment of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Despite the clinical significance of PAR, a molecular understanding of its function, including its binding partners, remains incomplete. In this work, we synthesized a PAR photoaffinity probe that captures and isolates endogenous PAR binders. Our method identified dozens of known PAR-binding proteins and hundreds of novel candidates involved in DNA repair, RNA processing, and metabolism. PAR binding by eight candidates was confirmed using pull-down and/or electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Using PAR probes of defined lengths, we detected proteins that preferentially bind to 40-mer versus 8-mer PAR, indicating that polymer length may regulate the outcome and timing of PAR signaling pathways. This investigation produces the first census of PAR-binding proteins, provides a proteomics analysis of length-selective PAR binding, and associates PAR binding with RNA metabolism and the formation of biomolecular condensates.

Photoaffinity Probes for the Identification of Sequence-Specific Glycosaminoglycan-Binding Proteins.

Project description:Glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-protein interactions mediate critical physiological and pathological processes, such as neuronal plasticity, development, and viral invasion. However, mapping GAG-protein interaction networks is challenging as these interactions often require specific GAG sulfation patterns and involve transmembrane receptors or extracellular matrix-associated proteins. Here, we report the first GAG polysaccharide-based photoaffinity probes for the system-wide identification of GAG-binding proteins in living cells. A general platform for the modular, efficient assembly of various chondroitin sulfate (CS)-based photoaffinity probes was developed. Systematic evaluations led to benzophenone-containing probes that efficiently and selectively captured known CS-E-binding proteins in vitro and in cells. Importantly, the probes also enabled the identification of >50 new proteins from living neurons that interact with the neuroplasticity-relevant CS-E sulfation motif. Several candidates were independently validated and included membrane receptors important for axon guidance, innate immunity, synapse development, and synaptic plasticity. Overall, our studies provide a powerful approach for mapping GAG-protein interaction networks, revealing new potential functions for these polysaccharides and linking them to diseases such as Alzheimer's and autism.

A glycal-based photoaffinity probe that enriches sialic acid binding proteins.

Project description:To identify sialic acid binding proteins from complex proteomes, three photocrosslinking affinity-based probes were constructed using Neu5Ac (5 and 6) and Neu5Ac2en (7) scaffolds. Kinetic inhibition assays and Western blotting revealed the Neu5Ac2en-based 7 to be an effective probe for the labeling of a purified gut microbial sialidase (BDI_2946) and a purified human sialic acid binding protein (hCD33). Additionally, LC-MS/MS affinity-based protein profiling verified the ability of 7 to enrich a low-abundance sialic acid binding protein (complement factor H) from human serum thus validating the utility of this probe in a complex context.

Targeted Quantitative Profiling of GTP-Binding Proteins in Cancer Cells Using Isotope-Coded GTP Probes.

Project description:GTP-binding proteins play important roles in many essential biological processes, including cell signaling, trafficking, and protein synthesis. To assess quantitatively these proteins at the whole proteome level, we developed a high-throughput targeted proteomic method based on the use of isotope-coded GTP probes and multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) analysis. Targeted proteins were labeled with desthiobiotin-GTP probes, digested with trypsin, and the ensuing desthiobiotin-conjugated peptides were enriched with streptavidin beads for LC-MS/MS analysis. We also established a Skyline MRM library based on shotgun proteomic data acquired for 12 different human cell lines. The library contained 605 tryptic peptides derived from 217 GTP-binding proteins, representing approximately 60% of the annotated human GTP-binding proteome. By using this library, in conjunction with isotope-coded GTP probes and scheduled LC-MRM analysis, we investigated the differential expression of GTP-binding proteins in a pair of primary/metastatic colon cancer cell lines (SW480 and SW620). We were able to quantify 97 GTP-binding proteins, and we further validated the differential expression of several GTP-binding proteins by Western blot analysis. Together, we developed a facile targeted quantitative proteomic method for the high-throughput analysis of GTP-binding proteins and applied the method for probing the altered expression of these proteins involved in colon cancer metastasis.

Photoaffinity labeling of plasma proteins.

Project description:Photoaffinity labeling is a powerful technique for identifying a target protein. A high degree of labeling specificity can be achieved with this method in comparison to chemical labeling. Human serum albumin (HSA) and α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) are two plasma proteins that bind a variety of endogenous and exogenous substances. The ligand binding mechanism of these two proteins is complex. Fatty acids, which are known to be transported in plasma by HSA, cause conformational changes and participate in allosteric ligand binding to HSA. HSA undergoes an N-B transition, a conformational change at alkaline pH, that has been reported to result in increased ligand binding. Attempts have been made to investigate the impact of fatty acids and the N-B transition on ligand binding in HSA using ketoprofen and flunitrazepam as photolabeling agents. Meanwhile, plasma AGP is a mixture of genetic variants of the protein. The photolabeling of AGP with flunitrazepam has been utilized to shed light on the topology of the protein ligand binding site. Furthermore, a review of photoaffinity labeling performed on other major plasma proteins will also be discussed. Using a photoreactive natural ligand as a photolabeling agent to identify target protein in the plasma would reduce non-specific labeling.

Gold nanoparticle-based multivalent carbohydrate probes: selective photoaffinity labeling of carbohydrate-binding proteins.

Project description:Multivalent carbohydrate photoaffinity probes were developed based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to provide a streamlined approach toward identification of carbohydrate-binding proteins. By using AuNPs as scaffolds, a carbohydrate ligand and a photoreactive group could be readily assembled on a probe in a modular fashion, which greatly accelerated the process of optimizing the probe design. The novel AuNP-based probes serve dual functions by facilitating photoaffinity labeling and by directly enriching the crosslinked proteins by centrifugation. We demonstrated that their ability to enhance the affinity and to stringently remove nonspecific proteins allowed selective photoaffinity labeling and isolation of a low affinity carbohydrate-binding protein in cell lysate.

Synthesis and application of a photoaffinity analog of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).

Project description:We have synthesized an analog of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 1) containing both a benzophenone (BP) and a biotin (Bt) group (DHEA-BP-Bt, 8). Compound 8 was prepared by functionalization on C-17 of 1. Biocytin was reacted with 4-benzoylbenzoic acid and the product was condensed with 1 containing a diamine-hexane linker. We detected specific protein bands of approximately 55, 80, and 150 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis of vascular endothelial cell plasma membranes which had been photoirradiated in the presence of 8.
