Specific enrichment of phosphoproteins using functionalized multivalent nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Analysis of protein phosphorylation remains a significant challenge due to the low abundance of phosphoproteins and the low stoichiometry of phosphorylation, which requires effective enrichment of phosphoproteins. Here we have developed superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) whose surface is functionalized by multivalent ligand molecules that specifically bind to the phosphate groups on any phosphoproteins. These NPs enrich phosphoproteins from complex cell and tissue lysates with high specificity as confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis with a phosphoprotein-specific stain and mass spectrometry analysis of the enriched phosphoproteins. This method enables universal and effective capture, enrichment, and detection of intact phosphoproteins toward a comprehensive analysis of the phosphoproteome.

Multivalent effect of peptide functionalized polymeric nanoparticles towards selective prostate cancer targeting.

Project description:The concept of selective tumor targeting using nanomedicines has been around for decades; however, no targeted nanoparticle has yet reached the clinic. A key bottleneck is the non-selectivity of targeted nanomedicines in vivo, which is attributed to the lack of characterization of their surface properties, especially the ligand number, thereby calling for robust techniques that allow quantifiable outcomes for an optimal design. Multivalent interactions comprise multiple copies of ligands attached to scaffolds, allowing simultaneous binding to receptors, and they play an important role in targeting. As such, 'multivalent' nanoparticles facilitate simultaneous interaction of weak surface ligands with multiple target receptors resulting in higher avidity and enhanced cell selectivity. Therefore, the study of weak binding ligands for membrane-exposed biomarkers is crucial for the successful development of targeted nanomedicines. Here we carried out a study of a cell targeting peptide known as WQP having weak binding affinity for prostate specific membrane antigen, a known prostate cancer biomarker. We evaluated the effect of its multivalent targeting using polymeric NPs over its monomeric form on the cellular uptake in different prostate cancer cell lines. We developed a method of specific enzymatic digestion to quantify the number of WQPs on NPs having different surface valencies and observed that increasing valencies resulted in a higher cellular uptake of WQP-NPs over the peptide alone. We also found that WQP-NPs showed higher uptake in PSMA over-expressing cells, attributed to a stronger avidity for selective PSMA targeting. This kind of strategy can be useful for improving the binding affinity of a weak ligand as a means for selective tumor targeting.

Weak Multivalent Binding of Influenza Hemagglutinin Nanoparticles at a Sialoglycan-Functionalized Supported Lipid Bilayer.

Project description:Quantification of the multivalent interactions of influenza viruses binding at interfaces may provide ways to tackle key biological questions regarding influenza virulence and zoonoses. Yet, the deconvolution of the contributions of molecular and interfacial parameters, such as valency, interaction area, and receptor density, to the binding of whole viruses is hindered by difficulties in the direct determination of these parameters. We report here a chemical platform technology to study the binding of multivalent recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA) nanoparticles at artificial sialoglycan cell receptor-presenting interfaces in which all these parameters can be derived, thus allowing the desired full and quantitative binding analysis. SiO2 substrates were functionalized with supported lipid bilayers containing a targeted and tunable fraction of a biotinylated lipid, followed by the adsorption of streptavidin and biotinylated polyvalent 2,3- or 2,6-sialyl lactosamine (SLN). rHA nanoparticles were used as a virus mimic to provide a good prediction of the number of interactions involved in binding. Low nanomolar affinities and selectivities for binding at the 2,6-SLN platforms were observed for rHA particles from three different virus variants. When fitting the data to a multivalency model, the nanomolar overall affinity appears to be achieved by 6-9 HA-sugar molecular interaction pairs, which individually present a rapid association/dissociation behavior. This dynamic behavior may be an essential biological attribute in the functioning of the influenza virus.

Enrichment and Analysis of Intact Phosphoproteins in Arabidopsis Seedlings.

Project description:Protein phosphorylation regulates diverse cellular functions and plays a key role in the early development of plants. To complement and expand upon previous investigations of protein phosphorylation in Arabidopsis seedlings we used an alternative approach that combines protein extraction under non-denaturing conditions with immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) enrichment of intact phosphoproteins in Rubisco-depleted extracts, followed by identification using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In-gel trypsin digestion and analysis of selected gel spots identified 144 phosphorylated peptides and residues, of which only 18 phosphopeptides and 8 phosphosites were found in the PhosPhAt 4.0 and P3DB Arabidopsis thaliana phosphorylation site databases. More than half of the 82 identified phosphoproteins were involved in carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis/respiration or oxidative stress response mechanisms. Enrichment of intact phosphoproteins prior to 2-DE and LC-MS/MS appears to enhance detection of phosphorylated threonine and tyrosine residues compared with methods that utilize peptide-level enrichment, suggesting that the two approaches are somewhat complementary in terms of phosphorylation site coverage. Comparing results for young seedlings with those obtained previously for mature Arabidopsis leaves identified five proteins that are differentially phosphorylated in these tissues, demonstrating the potential of this technique for investigating the dynamics of protein phosphorylation during plant development.

Controlled Synthesis of Platinum and Silver Nanoparticles Using Multivalent Ligands.

Project description:Here, the controlled formation of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using amine-functionalized multivalent ligands are reported. The effects of reaction temperature and ligand multivalency on the growth kinetics, size, and shape of PtNPs and AgNPs were systematically studied by performing a stepwise and a one-step process. PtNPs and AgNPs were prepared in the presence of amine ligands using platinum (II) acetylacetonate and silver (I) acetylacetonate, respectively. The effects of ligands and temperature on the formation of PtNPs were studied using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). For the characterization of AgNPs, additionally, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption was employed. The TEM measurements revealed that PtNPs prepared at different temperatures (160-200 °C, in a stepwise process) are monodispersed and of spherical shape regardless of the ligand multivalency or reaction temperature. In the preparation of PtNPs by the one-step process, ligands affect the shape of the PtNPs, which can be explained by the affinity of the ligands. The TEM and UV-Vis absorption studies on the formation of AgNPs with mono-, di-, and trivalent ligands showed narrower size distributions, while increasing the temperature from 80 °C to 120 °C and with a trivalent ligand in a one-step process.

NMR metabolomic analysis of bacterial resistance pathways using multivalent quaternary ammonium functionalized macromolecules.

Project description:IntroductionMultivalent antimicrobial dendrimers are an exciting new system that is being developed to address the growing problem of drug resistant bacteria. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics is a quantitative and reproducible method for the determination of bacterial response to environmental stressors and for visualization of perturbations to biochemical pathways.ObjectivesNMR metabolomics is used to elucidate metabolite differences between wild type and antimicrobially mutated Escherichia coli (E. coli) samples.MethodsProton (1H) NMR hydrophilic metabolite analysis was conducted on samples of E. coli after 33 growth cycles of a minimum inhibitory challenge to E. coli by poly(amidoamine) dendrimers functionalized with mannose and with C16-DABCO quaternary ammonium endgroups and compared to the metabolic profile of wild type E. coli.ResultsThe wild type and mutated E. coli samples were separated into distinct sample sets by hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis (PCA) and sparse partial least squares discriminate analysis (sPLS-DA). Metabolite components of membrane fortification and energy related pathways had a significant p value and fold change between the wild type and mutated E. coli. Amino acids commonly associated with membrane fortification from cationic antimicrobials, such as lysine, were found to have a higher concentration in the mutated E. coli than in the wild type E. coli. N-acetylglucosamine, a major component of peptidoglycan synthesis, was found to have a 25-fold higher concentration in the mid log phase of the mutated E. coli than in the mid log phase of the wild type.ConclusionThe metabolic profile suggests that E. coli change their peptidoglycan composition in order to garner protection from the highly positively charged and multivalent C16-DABCO and mannose functionalized dendrimer.

Phenylboronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for one-step saccharides enrichment and mass spectrometry analysis.

Project description:AbstractIn this work, 2-(2-aminoethoxy) ethanol-blocked phenylboronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (blocked PMNPs) were fabricated for selective enrichment of different types of saccharides. The phenylboronic acid was designed for capturing the cis-diols moieties on saccharides molecules, and the 2-(2-aminoethoxy) ethanol can deplete the nonspecific absorption of peptides and proteins which always coexisted with saccharides. For mass spectrometry analysis, the PMNPs bound saccharides can be directly applied onto the MALDI plate with matrix without removing the PMNPs. By PMNPs, the simple saccharide (glucose) could be detected in pmol level. The complex saccharides can also be reliably purified and analyzed; 16 different N-glycans were successfully identified from ovalbumin, and the high-abundance N-glycans can be detected even when the ovalbumin was in very low concentration (2 μg). In human milk, ten different oligosaccharides were identified, and the lactose can still be detected when the human milk concentration was low to 0.01 μL.Graphical abstract

Probing Multivalent Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions With On-Chip Synthesized Glycopeptides Using Different Functionalized Surfaces.

Project description:Multivalent ligand-protein interactions are a commonly employed approach by nature in many biological processes. Single glycan-protein interactions are often weak, but their affinity and specificity can be drastically enhanced by engaging multiple binding sites. Microarray technology allows for quick, parallel screening of such interactions. Yet, current glycan microarray methodologies usually neglect defined multivalent presentation. Our laser-based array technology allows for a flexible, cost-efficient, and rapid in situ chemical synthesis of peptide scaffolds directly on functionalized glass slides. Using copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, different monomer sugar azides were attached to the scaffolds, resulting in spatially defined multivalent glycopeptides on the solid support. Studying their interaction with several different lectins showed that not only the spatially defined sugar presentation, but also the surface functionalization and wettability, as well as accessibility and flexibility, play an essential role in such interactions. Therefore, different commercially available functionalized glass slides were equipped with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker to demonstrate its effect on glycan-lectin interactions. Moreover, different monomer sugar azides with and without an additional PEG-spacer were attached to the peptide scaffold to increase flexibility and thereby improve binding affinity. A variety of fluorescently labeled lectins were probed, indicating that different lectin-glycan pairs require different surface functionalization and spacers for enhanced binding. This approach allows for rapid screening and evaluation of spacing-, density-, ligand and surface-dependent parameters, to find optimal lectin binders.

Maltose-Functionalized Hydrophilic Magnetic Nanoparticles with Polymer Brushes for Highly Selective Enrichment of N-Linked Glycopeptides.

Project description:Efficient enrichment glycoproteins/glycopeptides from complex biological solutions are very important in the biomedical sciences, in particular biomarker research. In this work, the high hydrophilic polyethylenimine conjugated polymaltose polymer brushes functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) denoted as Fe3O4-PEI-pMaltose were designed and synthesized via a simple two-step modification. The obtained superhydrophilic Fe3O4-PEI-pMaltose NPs displayed outstanding advantages in the enrichment of N-linked glycopeptides, including high selectivity (1:100, mass ratios of HRP and bovine serum albumin (BSA) digest), low detection limit (10 fmol), large binding capacity (200 mg/g), and high enrichment recovery (above 85%). The above-mentioned excellent performance of novel Fe3O4-PEI-pMaltose NPs was attributed to graft of maltose polymer brushes and efficient assembly strategy. Moreover, Fe3O4-PEI-pMaltose NPs were further utilized to selectively enrich glycopeptides from human renal mesangial cell (HRMC, 200 μg) tryptic digest, and 449 N-linked glycopeptides, representing 323 different glycoproteins and 476 glycosylation sites, were identified. It was expected that the as-synthesized Fe3O4-PEI-pMaltose NPs, possessing excellent performance (high binding capacity, good selectivity, low detection limit, high enrichment recovery, and easy magnetic separation) coupled to a facile preparation procedure, have a huge potential in N-glycosylation proteome analysis of complex biological samples.

Targeting of Apoptotic Cells Using Functionalized Fe₂O₃ Nanoparticles.

Project description:Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized and functionalized with SiO₂ and -NH₂ group, respectively. Conjugation to fluorescently-labeled poly-caspase inhibitor (SR-FLIVO) has been carried out for better cellular uptake studies of apoptosis arising from brain focal cerebral ischemia. Highest conjugation affinity to SR-FLIVO was found to be ca. 80% for Fe₂O₃-SiO-NH₂ functionalized nanoparticles (FNPs). Tracking of SR-FLIVO conjugated functionalized nanoparticles (SR-FLIVO-FNPs) in vivo and in vitro has been carried out and detected using microscopic techniques after histochemical staining methods. Experimental results revealed that SR-FLIVO-FNPs probe could passively cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and accumulated within the apoptotic cell. Optimization of SR-FLIVO-FNPs probe can effectively promise to open a new era for intracellular drug delivery and brain diagnosis.

Thermodynamic analysis of multivalent binding of functionalized nanoparticles to membrane surface reveals the importance of membrane entropy and nanoparticle entropy in adhesion of flexible nanoparticles.

Project description:We present a quantitative model for multivalent binding of ligand-coated flexible polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) to a flexible membrane expressing receptors. The model is developed using a multiscale computational framework by coupling a continuum field model for the cell membrane with a coarse-grained model for the polymeric NPs. The NP is modeled as a self-avoiding bead-spring polymer chain, and the cell membrane is modeled as a triangulated surface using the dynamically triangulated Monte Carlo method. The nanoparticle binding affinity to a cell surface is mainly determined by the delicate balance between the enthalpic gain due to the multivalent ligand-receptor binding and the entropic penalties of various components including receptor translation, membrane undulation, and NP conformation. We have developed new methods to compute the free energy of binding, which includes these enthalpy and entropy terms. We show that the multivalent interactions between the flexible NP and the cell surface are subject to entropy-enthalpy compensation. Three different entropy contributions, namely, those due to receptor-ligand translation, NP flexibility, and membrane undulations, are all significant, although the first of these terms is the most dominant. However, both NP flexibility and membrane undulations dictate the receptor-ligand translational entropy making the entropy compensation context-specific, i.e., dependent on whether the NP is rigid or flexible, and on the state of the membrane given by the value of membrane tension or its excess area.
