An electroaffinity labeling platform for chemoproteomic-based target identification
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Target identification involves deconvoluting the protein target of a pharmacologically active small molecule ligand, which is critical for early drug discovery yet technically challenging. Photoaffinity labeling strategies have become the benchmark for small molecule target deconvolution, but covalent protein capture requires the use of high energy UV light, which can complicate downstream target identification. Thus, there is a strong demand for alternative technologies that allow for controlled activation of chemical probes to covalently label their protein target. Here, we introduce an electroaffinity labeling platform that leverages the use of a small, redox-active diazetidinone functional group to enable chemoproteomic-based target identification of pharmacophores within live cell environments. The underlying discovery to enable this platform is that the diazetidinone can be electrochemically oxidized to reveal reactive intermediate useful for covalent modification of proteins. This work, for the first time, demonstrates the electrochemical platform to be a functional tool for drug-target identification.
