(Nature Publishing Group)A review. The collection of chem. techniques that can be used to attach synthetic groups to proteins has expanded substantially in recent years. Each of these approaches allows new protein targets to be addressed, leading to advances in biol. understanding, new protein-drug conjugates, targeted medical imaging agents and hybrid materials with complex functions. The protein modification reactions in current use vary widely in their inherent site selectivity, overall yields and functional group compatibility. Some are more amenable to large-scale bioconjugate prodn., and a no. of techniques can be used to label a single protein in a complex biol. mixt. This review examines the way in which exptl. circumstances influence one's selection of an appropriate protein modification strategy. It also provides a simple decision tree that can narrow down the possibilities in many instances. The review concludes with example studies that examine how this decision process has been applied in different contexts.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. The diversity of distinct covalent forms of proteins (the proteome) greatly exceeds the no. of proteins predicted by DNA coding capacities owing to directed post-translational modifications. Enzymes dedicated to such protein modifications include 500 human protein kinases, 150 protein phosphatases, and 500 proteases. The major types of protein covalent modifications, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, methylation, and ubiquitination, can be classified according to the type of amino acid side-chain modified, the category of the modifying enzyme, and the extent of reversibility. Chem. events such as protein splicing, green fluorescent protein (GFP) maturation, and proteasome autoactivation also represent post-translational modifications. An understanding of the scope and pattern of the many post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells provides insight into the function and dynamics of proteome compns.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. To date, over 100 noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) have been genetically encoded in living cells in order to expand the functional repertoire of the canonical 20 amino acids. More recently, this technol. has been expanded to the field of protein therapeutics, where traditional chem. methods typically result in heterogeneous mixts. of proteins. The site-specific incorporation of ncAAs with orthogonal chem. groups allows unprecedented control over the site of conjugation and the stoichiometry, thus facilitating the rational optimization of the biol. functions and/or pharmacokinetics of biologics. Herein, we discuss the recent contribution of ncAA technol. in enhancing the pharmacol. properties of current protein therapeutics as well as developing novel therapeutic modalities.(b) Pelegri-O’Day, E.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Protein-polymer conjugates are widely used as therapeutics. All Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved protein conjugates are covalently linked to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). These PEGylated drugs have longer half-lives in the bloodstream, leading to less frequent dosing, which is a significant advantage for patients. However, there are some potential drawbacks to PEG that are driving the development of alternatives. Polymers that display enhanced pharmacokinetic properties along with addnl. advantages such as improved stability or degradability will be important to advance the field of protein therapeutics. This perspective presents a summary of protein-PEG conjugates for therapeutic use and alternative technologies in various stages of development as well as suggestions for future directions. Established methods of producing protein-PEG conjugates and new approaches utilizing controlled radical polymn. are also covered.(c) Chari, R. V. J.; Miller, M. L.; Widdison, W. C. Angew. Chem., Int.

Traditional cancer chemotherapy is often accompanied by systemic toxicity to the patient. Monoclonal antibodies against antigens on cancer cells offer an alternative tumor-selective treatment approach. However, most monoclonal antibodies are not sufficiently potent to be therapeutically active on their own. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) use antibodies to deliver a potent cytotoxic compd. selectively to tumor cells, thus improving the therapeutic index of chemotherapeutic agents. The recent approval of two ADCs, brentuximab vedotin and ado-trastuzumab emtansine, for cancer treatment has spurred tremendous research interest in this field. This Review touches upon the early efforts in the field, and describes how the lessons learned from the first-generation ADCs have led to improvements in every aspect of this technol., i.e., the antibody, the cytotoxic compd., and the linker connecting them, leading to the current successes. The design of ADCs currently in clin. development, and results from mechanistic studies and preclin. and clin. evaluation are discussed. Emerging technologies that seek to further advance this exciting area of research are also discussed.(d) Schumacher, D.; Hackenberger, C. P. R. Curr. Opin. Chem.

(Elsevier B.V.)The quest to enlarge the mol. space of functional biomols. has led to the discovery of selective, mild and high-yielding chem. reactions for the modification of peptides and proteins. These conjugation methods have recently become even more advanced with the advent of modern biochem. techniques such as unnatural protein expression or enzymic reactions that allow the site-specific modification of proteins. Within this overview, we will highlight recent examples that describe the site-specific functionalization of proteins. These examples go beyond the straightforward attachment of a given functional moiety to the protein backbone by employing either an innovative linker-design or by novel conjugation chem., where the modification reaction itself is responsible for the (altered) functional behavior of the biomol. The examples covered herein include 'turn-on' probes for cellular imaging with low levels of background fluorescence, branched or cleavable polymer-protein conjugates of high stability within a cellular environment, the installation of natural occurring posttranslational modifications to help understand their role in complex cellular environments and finally the engineering of novel antibody drug conjugates to facilitate target specific drug release. - 6(a) Siman, P.; Brik, A.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Posttranslational modifications of proteins play crucial roles in health and disease by affecting numerous aspects of protein structure, function, stability and sub cellular localization. Yet understanding the effects of these modifications on several of these processes at the mol. level has been hindered by the lack of homogeneously modified proteins obtained via traditional biochem. and mol. biol. approaches. Moreover, the prepn. of such bioconjugates at a workable level is highly demanding. Recent advances in protein chem. applying chem. and semisynthetic approaches are becoming increasingly beneficial to overcome these challenges. These methods allow site-specific modifications of a desired protein and afford the product in large quantities for biochem. and structural analyses. In this review, the authors survey these efforts and their importance in dissecting the role of several posttranslational modifications in various proteins. Several examples are presented where glycosylated, phosphorylated, ubiquitinated, lipidated, acetylated and methylated proteins were prepd.(b) Kent, S. B. H. Chem. Soc.

This tutorial review outlines the modern ligation methods that enable the efficient total chem. synthesis of enzymes and other protein mols. Key to this success is the chemoselective reaction of unprotected synthetic peptides ('chem. ligation'). Notably, native chem. ligation enables the reaction of two unprotected peptides in aq. soln. at neutral pH to form a single product in near quant. yield. Full-length synthetic polypeptides are folded to form the defined tertiary structure of the target protein mol., which is characterized by mass spectrometry, NMR, and x-ray crystallog., in addn. to biochem. and/or biol. activity.(c) Hackenberger, C.

The investigation of biol. processes by chem. methods, commonly referred to as chem. biol., often requires chem. access to biol. relevant macromols. such as peptides and proteins. Building upon solid-phase peptide synthesis, investigations have focused on the development of chemoselective ligation and modification strategies to link synthetic peptides or other functional units to larger synthetic and biol. relevant macromols. This review summarizes recent developments in the field of chemoselective ligation and modification strategies and illustrates their application, with examples ranging from the total synthesis of proteins to the semisynthesis of naturally modified proteins.

Spatial and temporal control over chem. and biol. processes, both in terms of "tuning" products and providing site-specific control, is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of modern science. For synthetic chemists, the challenge is to discover and develop selective and efficient reactions capable of generating useful mols. in a variety of matrixes. In recent studies, light has been recognized as a valuable method for detg. where, when, and to what extent a process is started or stopped. Accordingly, this Minireview will present the fundamental aspects of light-induced click reactions, highlight the applications of these reactions to diverse fields of study, and discuss the potential for this methodol. to be applied to the study of biomol. systems.(b) Palomo, J.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Click-chem. is an approach based on cycloaddn. reactions which has been successfully used as a chem. approach for complex org. mols. and which has recently starred in a boom in the world of protein chem. The advantage of the use of this technique in protein chem. is based on a very high and efficient chemoselectivity, which usually requires simple or no purifn. and is extremely rate-accelerated in aq. media. Here, the author discusses some of the most recent advances in the application of this reaction in selective enzyme surface modification for the creation of new semisynthetic enzymes (fluorescence labeled enzymes, peptide-enzyme conjugates, glycosylated enzymes), and interestingly, the recent design and creation of "click" enzymes.(c) van Berkel, S.

In 1919 the German chemist Hermann Staudinger was the first to describe the reaction between an azide and a phosphine. It was not until recently, however, that Bertozzi and co-workers recognized the potential of this reaction as a method for bioconjugation and transformed it into the so-called Staudinger ligation. The bio-orthogonal character of both the azide and the phosphine functions resulted in the Staudinger ligation finding numerous applications in various complex biol. systems. For example, the Staudinger ligation has been used to label glycans, lipids, DNA, and proteins. Moreover, the Staudinger ligation has been used as a synthetic method to construct glycopeptides, microarrays, and functional biopolymers. In the emerging field of bio-orthogonal ligation strategies, the Staudinger ligation has set a high std. to which most of the new techniques are often compared. This review summarizes recent developments and new applications of the Staudinger ligation.(d) Lallana, E.; Riguera, R.; Fernandez-Megia, E. Angew. Chem., Int.

The rational design of proteins with desired functional properties by manipulation of their chem. compn. and three-dimensional structure is a challenge that has fascinated researchers in dierent disciplines during the last century. In this context, the ultimate goal of enzyme engineering has been to create novel and highly active enzymes with increased stability, selectivity, and substrate range, able to work in extreme physicochem. and biol. conditions. The coverage of this Review includes aspects concerning neoglycoenzyme synthesis, classification, structural and functional properties, and applications. For this purpose, reports ofoutstanding significance in neoglycoenzyme science will becritically discussed. A detailed description of the syntheticmethods used for prepg. protein glycoconjugates as well asthe properties and applications of these derivs. are beyond the scope of this Review and have been excellently covered in previous papers. Therefore, only the synthetic methods specifically adapted to enzyme artificial glycosylation will be discussed. This Review will highlight the new and/or improved properties showed by the artificial glycoenzymes as well as their most relevant applications.

However, natural and recombinant glycoproteins are usually produced as mixts. of glycoforms that differ in the structures of the pendent glycans, which are difficult to sep. in pure glycoforms. As a result, synthetic homogeneous glycopeptides and glycoproteins have become indispensable probes for detailed structural and functional studies.

(American Chemical Society)A review. This review is intended to update our previous discussion on the chemoenzymic synthesis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates, with new emphasis placed on enzymic and whole-cell engineering techniques for the prodn. of homogeneous glycoproteins. Glycans, the carbohydrate portion of glycoconjugates, have diverse structures and far-reaching biol. functions that remain to be elucidated. The need to understand glycans and glycoconjugates has motivated an extraordinary amt. of work toward developing synthetic and chemoenzymic methods to produce them in a pure form over the past ten years. While many of these routes have been the subject of focused reviews, this account provides a thorough resource of the chemoenzymic and whole-cell tools that are available for producing glycans and glycoconjugates with defined structures. Because the covered topics are broad, succinct discussions of key concepts are provided in the text along with a few representative examples, while more in-depth consideration of subjects can be gained by consulting the extensive sources to the primary literature provided throughout.(d) Gamblin, D.

However, conventional methods often lead to heterogeneous PEGylation mixts. with reduced protein activity. Current synthetic efforts aim to provide site-specific approaches by chemoselective targeting of canonical and noncanonical amino acids and to improve the PEG architecture. This synopsis highlights recent work in this area, which also resulted in improved pharmacokinetics of peptide and protein therapeutics. - 11(a) Matyjaszewski, K.; Tsarevsky, N. V. J. Am. Chem.

(American Chemical Society)A review. This Perspective presents recent advances in macromol. engineering enabled by ATRP. They include the fundamental mechanistic and synthetic features of ATRP with emphasis on various catalytic/initiation systems that use parts-per-million concns. of Cu catalysts and can be run in environmentally friendly media, e.g., water. The roles of the major components of ATRP-monomers, initiators, catalysts, and various additives-are explained, and their reactivity and structure are correlated. The effects of media and external stimuli on polymn. rates and control are presented. Some examples of precisely controlled elements of macromol. architecture, such as chain uniformity, compn., topol., and functionality, are discussed. Syntheses of polymers with complex architecture, various hybrids, and bioconjugates are illustrated. Examples of current and forthcoming applications of ATRP are covered.

(CRP). The review specifically highlights the concept of 'grafting-from' proteins, as new and efficient chem. has been developed to polymerize directly from protein substrates in aq. media. As the past ten years have shown, CRP has proven a powerful tool in the functionalization of proteins. This review considers the methods used to install protein based initiators and CTAs, the principle examples of ATRP and RAFT as polymn. methods, and finishes with more advanced methodologies such as the combination of genetic modifications and polymer chem., proteins as nanoparticles for drug delivery, and unnatural amino acid initiators. - 12(a) King, M.; Wagner, A.

The modification of proteins with synthetic probes is a powerful means of elucidating and engineering the functions of proteins both in vitro and in live cells or in vivo. Herein the authors review recent progress in chem.-based protein modification methods and their application in protein engineering, with particular emphasis on the following four strategies: (1) the bioconjugation reactions of amino acids on the surfaces of natural proteins, mainly applied in test-tube settings; (2) the bioorthogonal reactions of proteins with non-natural functional groups; (3) the coupling of recognition and reactive sites using an enzyme or short peptide tag-probe pair for labeling natural amino acids; and (4) ligand-directed labeling chemistries for the selective labeling of endogenous proteins in living systems. Overall, these techniques represent a useful set of tools for application in chem. biol., with the methods 2-4 in particular being applicable to crude (living) habitats. Although still in its infancy, the use of org. chem. for the manipulation of endogenous proteins, with subsequent applications in living systems, represents a worthy challenge for many chemists.(f) Debets, M.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. The use of covalent chem. to track biomols. in their native environment-a focus of bioorthogonal chem.-has received considerable interest recently among chem. biologists and org. chemists alike. To facilitate wider adoption of bioorthogonal chem. in biomedical research, a central effort in the last few years has been focused on the optimization of a few known bioorthogonal reactions, particularly with respect to reaction kinetics improvement, novel genetic encoding systems, and fluorogenic reactions for bioimaging. During these optimizations, three strategies have emerged, including the use of ring strain for substrate activation in the cycloaddn. reactions, the discovery of new ligands and privileged substrates for accelerated metal-catalyzed reactions, and the design of substrates with pre-fluorophore structures for rapid "turn-on" fluorescence after selective bioorthogonal reactions. In addn., new bioorthogonal reactions based on either modified or completely unprecedented reactant pairs have been reported. Finally, increasing attention has been directed toward the development of mutually exclusive bioorthogonal reactions and their applications in multiple labeling of a biomol. in cell culture. In this feature article, the authors wish to present the recent progress in bioorthogonal reactions through the selected examples that highlight the above-mentioned strategies. Considering increasing sophistication in bioorthogonal chem. development, the authors strive to project several exciting opportunities where bioorthogonal chem. can make a unique contribution to biol. in the near future.(h) Sletten, E.

The selective chem. modification of biol. mols. drives a good portion of modern drug development and fundamental biol. research.

Chem. modification of proteins is a rapidly expanding area in chem. biol. Selective installation of biochem. probes has led to a better understanding of natural protein modification and macromol. function. In other cases such chem. alterations have changed the protein function entirely. Addnl., tethering therapeutic cargo to proteins has proven invaluable in campaigns against disease. For controlled, selective access to such modified proteins, a unique chem. handle is required. Cysteine, with its unique reactivity, has long been used for such modifications. Cysteine has enjoyed wide-spread use in selective protein modification, yet new applications and even new reactions continue to emerge. This Focus Review highlights the enduring utility of cysteine in protein modification with special focus on recent innovations in chem. and biol. assocd. with such modifications.

(American Chemical Society)Ubiquitination is one of the most ubiquitous posttranslational modifications in eukaryotes and is involved in various cellular events such as proteasomal degrdn. and DNA repair. The overwhelming majority of studies aiming to understand ubiquitination and deubiquitination have employed unanchored ubiquitin chains and mono-ubiquitinated proteins. To shed light on these processes at the mol. level, it is crucial to have facile access to ubiquitin chains linked to protein substrates. Such conjugates are highly difficult to prep. homogenously and in workable quantities using the enzymic machinery. To address this formidable challenge we developed new chem. approaches to covalently attach ubiquitin chains to a protein substrate through its Cys residue. A key aspect of this approach is the installation of acyl hydrazide functionality at the C-terminus of the proximal Ub, which allows, after ubiquitin chain assembly, the introduction of various reactive electrophiles for protein conjugation. Employing α-globin as a model substrate, we demonstrate the facile conjugation to K48-linked ubiquitin chains, bearing up to four ubiquitins, through disulfide and thioether linkages. These bioconjugates were examd. for their behavior with the USP2 enzyme, which was found to cleave the ubiquitin chain in a similar manner to unanchored ones. Furthermore, proteasomal degrdn. study showed that di-ubiquitinated α-globin is rapidly degraded in contrast to the mono-ubiquitinated counterpart, highlighting the importance of the chain lengths on proteasomal degrdn. The present work opens unprecedented opportunities in studying the ubiquitin signal by enabling access to site-specifically polyubiquitinated proteins with an increased size and complexity. - 15(a) Massa, S.; Xavier, C.; De Vos, J.; Caveliers, V.; Lahoutte, T.; Muyldermans, S.; Devoogdt, N.

(American Chemical Society)Site-specific labeling of mol. imaging probes allows the development of a homogeneous tracer population. The resulting batch-to-batch reproducible pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties are of great importance for clin. translation. Camelid single-domain antibody-fragments (sdAbs)-the recombinantly produced antigen-binding domains of heavy-chain antibodies, also called Nanobodies-are proficient probes for mol. imaging. To safeguard their intrinsically high binding specificity and affinity and to ensure the tracer's homogeneity, we developed a generic strategy for the site-specific labeling of sdAbs via a thio-ether bond. The unpaired cysteine was introduced at the carboxyl-terminal end of the sdAb to eliminate the risk of antigen binding interference. The spontaneous dimerization and capping of the unpaired cysteine required a redn. step prior to conjugation. This was optimized with the mild reducing agent 2-mercaptoethylamine in order to preserve the domain's stability. As a proof-of-concept the reduced probe was subsequently conjugated to maleimide-DTPA, for labeling with indium-111. A single conjugated tracer was obtained and confirmed via mass spectrometry. The specificity and affinity of the new sdAb-based imaging probe was validated in a mouse xenograft tumor model using a modified clin. lead compd. targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) cancer biomarker. These data provide a versatile and standardized strategy for the site-specific labeling of sdAbs. The conjugation to the unpaired cysteine results in the prodn. of a homogeneous group of tracers and is a multimodal alternative to the technetium-99m labeling of sdAbs.(b) Morales-Sanfrutos, J.; Lopez-Jaramillo, J.; Ortega-Munoz, M.; Megia-Fernandez, A.; Perez-Balderas, F.; Hernandez-Mateo, F.; Santoyo-Gonzalez, F.

(American Chemical Society)The introduction of multiple labels onto biomols. is a challenge. The authors report herein the synthesis of vinyl sulfone derivatized bifunctional tag single-attachment-point reagents (BTSAP) bearing biotin and a fluorescent tag and their applications in proteins for the introduction of multiple labels by the Michael-type addn. of the electrophilic vinyl sulfone group. These BTSAP reagents were easily synthesized by a two-step chem. strategy involving the prepn. of alkyne vinyl sulfone derivatized tags (AVST) and subsequent click CuAAC attachment of a second azide functionalized tag. The direct coupling of BTSAP reagents with the low reactive protein horseradish peroxidase (HRP) turned it into a dual reporter group (i.e., fluorescence and peroxidase activity) that may be coupled to any recognition system via biotin-avidin affinity. The AVST compds. are not mere synthetic intermediates for the prepn. of BTSAP reagents but valuable clickable self-reporting compds. that allow the simultaneous introduction in proteins of an alkyne function and labeling when conjugated via the vinyl sulfone group. The implementation of these clickable AVST compds. in a CuAAC-based sequential approach also allows attainment of the dual labeling of HRP. This approach yields equiv. results in terms of fluorescent labeling, specific activity, and functionality of the biotin tag when compared with the direct bifunctional labeling by the BTSAP reagent. However, for life science this direct approach is more convenient since it avoids the use of copper catalysis, overcoming the toxicity drawback of this metal in biol. systems. - 16Cal, P. M. S.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The oligosaccharides Man4 and Man5, substructures of the high-mannose glycans of HIV glycoprotein gp120, were synthesized with a terminal 1-thiomannopyranose residue. The anomeric thiol can be readily converted to an azidomethyl aglycon through reaction with dichloromethane and displacement with sodium azide. The resulting oligomannans were then conjugated to ubiquitin utilizing thiol alkylation or azide/alkyne reactive tethers of minimal length. By combining high efficiency conjugation reactions and a short tether, we sought to establish conjugation conditions that would permit high d. clustering of oligomannans in conjugate vaccines that could produce antibodies able to bind gp120 and potentially neutralize virus. LC-UV-MS was used to sep., identify and quantify the ubiquitin glycoconjugates with differing degrees of oligomannan incorporation. Binding of the HIV protective monoclonal antibody 2G12 and Con A to microtitre plates coated with glycoconjugates was measured by ELISA.(b) Wurm, F. R.; Klok, H.-A. Chem. Soc.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Squaric acid diesters can be applied as reagents to couple two amino-functional compds. Consecutive coupling of two amines allows the synthesis of asym. squaric acid bisamides with either low mol. wt. compds. but also biomols. or polymers. The key feature of the squaric acid diester mediated coupling is the reduced reactivity of the resulting ester-amide after the first amidation step of the diester. This allows the sequential amidation and generation of asym. squaramides with high selectivity and in high yields. This article gives an overview of the well-established squaric acid diester mediated coupling reactions for glycoconjugates and presents recent advances that aim to expand this very versatile reaction protocol to the modification of peptides and proteins.(c) Patel, M.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Conjugation to human serum albumin (HSA) has emerged as a powerful approach for extending the in vivo half-life of many small mol. and peptide/protein drugs. Current HSA conjugation strategies, however, can often yield heterogeneous mixts. with inadequate pharmacokinetics, low efficacies, and variable safety profiles. Here, we designed and synthesized analogs of TAK-242, a small mol. inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4, that primarily reacted with a single lysine residue of HSA. These TAK-242-based cyclohexene compds. demonstrated robust reactivity, and Lys64 was identified as the primary conjugation site. A bivalent HSA conjugate was also prepd. in a site-specific manner. Addnl., HSA-cyclohexene conjugates maintained higher levels of stability both in human plasma and in mice than the corresponding maleimide conjugates. This new conjugation strategy promises to broadly enhance the performance of HSA conjugates for numerous applications.

This involves two-step conjugation of various glycans to CRM197 by click chem. in a well-defined manner. By semiquant. LC-MS/MS anal. of proteolytic digests of the conjugates formed, the reactivity of lysine residues in the protein was mapped and ranked. Computational anal. of the solvent accessibility of each lysine residue (based on the CRM197 crystal structure) established a correlation between reactivity and surface exposure. By this approach, conjugation involving lysine residues (normally a random process) can be controlled. It enables the prepn. of lysine-mediated glycoconjugates with improved batch-to-batch reproducibility, thereby producing neo-glycoconjugates with more-consistent biol. activity.

(American Chemical Society)The site-selective modification of the proteins RNase A, lysozyme C, and the peptide hormone somatostatin is presented via a kinetically controlled labeling approach. A single lysine residue on the surface of these biomols. reacts with an activated biotinylation reagent at mild conditions, physiol. pH, and at RT in a high yield of over 90%. In addn., fast reaction speed, quick and easy purifn., as well as low reaction temps. are particularly attractive for labeling sensitive peptides and proteins. Furthermore, the multifunctional bioorthogonal bioconjugation reagent (I) has been achieved allowing the site-selective incorporation of a single ethynyl group. The introduced ethynyl group is accessible for, e.g., click chem. as demonstrated by the reaction of RNase A with azidocoumarin. The approach reported herein is fast, less labor-intensive and minimizes the risk for protein misfolding. Kinetically controlled labeling offers a high potential for addressing a broad range of native proteins and peptides in a site-selective fashion and complements the portfolio of recombinant techniques or chemoenzymic approaches. - 23del Castillo, T.; Morales-Sanfrutos, J.; Santoyo-González, F.; Magez, S.; Lopez-Jaramillo, F.

KGaA)Cyclodextrins have been conjugated to target various receptors and have also been functionalized with carbohydrates for targeting specific organs. However, this approach is based on a rigid design that implies the ad hoc synthesis of each cyclodextrin-targeting agent conjugate. We hypothesized that: 1) a modular design that decouples the carrier function from the targeting function leads to a flexible system, 2) combining the reactivity of the vinyl sulfone group toward biomols. that act as targeting agents with the ability of cyclodextrin to form complexes with a wide range of drugs may yield a versatile system that allows the targeting of different organs with different drugs, and 3) the higher reactivity of histidine residues toward the vinyl sulfone group can be exploited to couple the cyclodextrin to the targeting system with a degree of regioselectivity. As a proof of concept, we synthesized a monovinyl sulfone β-cyclodextrin (module responsible for the payload), which, after coupling to recombinant antibody fragments raised against Trypanosoma brucei (module responsible for targeting) and loading with nitrofurazone (module responsible for therapeutic action) resulted in an effective delivery system that targets the surface of the parasites and shows trypanocidal activity.

We describe a bipartite drug-delivery system that exploits (i) endogenous carbohydrate-to-lectin binding to localize glycosylated enzyme conjugates to specific, predetd. cell types followed by (ii) administration of a prodrug activated by that predelivered enzyme at the desired site. The carbohydrate structure of an α-L-rhamnopyranosidase enzyme was specifically engineered through enzymic deglycosylation and chem. reglycosylation. Combined in vivo and in vitro techniques (gamma scintigraphy, microautoradiog. and confocal microscopy) detd. organ and cellular localization and demonstrated successful activation of α-L-rhamnopyranoside prodrug. Ligand competition expts. revealed enhanced, specific localization by endocytosis and a strongly carbohydrate-dependent, 60-fold increase in selectivity toward target cell hepatocytes that generated a >30-fold increase (from 0.02 to 0.66 mg) in protein delivered. Furthermore, glycosylation engineering enhanced the serum-uptake rate and enzyme stability. This created enzyme activity (0.2 units in hepatocytes) for prodrug therapy, the target of which was switched simply by sugar-type alteration. The therapeutic effectiveness of lectin-directed enzyme-activated prodrug therapy was shown through the construction of the prodrug of doxorubicin, Rha-DOX, and its application to reduce tumor burden in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) disease model.

(American Chemical Society)Methods for synthetically manipulating protein structure enable greater flexibility in the study of protein function. Previous characterization of the Escherichia coli aminoacyl tRNA transferase (AaT) has shown that it can modify the N-terminus of a protein with an amino acid from a tRNA or a synthetic oligonucleotide donor. Here, it is demonstrated that AaT can efficiently use a minimal adenosine substrate, which can be synthesized in one to two steps from readily available starting materials. The enzymic activity of AaT was characterized with aminoacyl adenosyl donors and it was found that reaction products do not inhibit AaT. The use of adenosyl donors removes the substrate limitations imposed by the use of synthetases for tRNA charging and avoids the complex synthesis of an oligonucleotide donor. Thus, these AaT donors increase the potential substrate scope and reaction scale for N-terminal protein modification under conditions that maintain folding. - 35(a) Schlick, T.

(American Chemical Society)The protein shell of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) provides a robust and practical tubelike scaffold for the prepn. of nanoscale materials. To expand the range of applications for which the capsid can be used, two synthetic strategies have been developed for the attachment of new functionality to either the exterior or the interior surface of the virus. The first of these is accomplished using a highly efficient diazonium coupling/oxime formation sequence, which installs >2000 copies of a material component on the capsid exterior. Alternatively, the inner cavity of the tube can be modified by attaching amines to glutamic acid side chains through a carbodiimide coupling reaction. Both of these reactions have been demonstrated for a series of substrates, including biotin, chromophores, and crown ethers. Through the attachment of PEG polymers to the capsid exterior, org.-sol. TMV rods have been prepd. Finally, the orthogonality of these reactions has been demonstrated by installing different functional groups on the exterior and interior surfaces of the same capsid assemblies.(b) Hooker, J.

(American Chemical Society)Site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) combined with EPR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful approach to study structure and dynamics in proteins. One limitation of this approach is the fact that classical spin labels are functionalized to be grafted on natural or site-directed mutagenesis generated cysteine residues. Despite the widespread success of cysteine-based modification strategies, the technique becomes unsuitable when cysteine residues play a functional or structural role in the protein under study. To overcome this limitation, the authors propose an isoindoline-based nitroxide to selectively target tyrosine residues using a Mannich type reaction, the feasibility of which has been demonstrated in a previous study. This nitroxide has been synthesized and successfully grafted successively on p-cresol, a small tetrapeptide and a model protein: a small chloroplastic protein CP12 having functional cysteines and a single tyrosine. Studying the assocn. of the labeled CP12 with its partner protein, the isoindoline-based nitroxide is a good reporter to reveal changes in its local environment contrary to the previous study where the label was poorly sensitive to probe structural changes. The successful targeting of tyrosine residues with the isoindoline-based nitroxide thus offers a highly promising approach, complementary to the classical cysteine-SDSL one, which significantly enlarges the field of applications of the technique for probing protein dynamics. - 41Guo, H.-M.; Minakawa, M.; Ueno, L.; Tanaka, F.

Herein we constructed a set of β-(1 → 3) glucan oligosaccharide conjugates with a well-defined glycan structure, connected to patterns of predetd. tyrosine or lysine residues onto the CRM197 carrier protein. To evaluate the effect of multivalent architecture in the glycan presentation, a novel linker enabling tyrosine-directed ligation of couples of oligosaccharides was prepd. The potential of these constructs as anti-Candida vaccines was evaluated in vivo, using as controls glycoconjugates prepd. by a conventional random coupling strategy, and the structure-immune properties relationship was established. We found that: (i) the tyrosine-directed ligation resulted in higher anti-glycan IgG levels in comparison to the conjugation at predetd. lysine residues; (ii) the presentation of the carbohydrate antigen with a biantennary cluster of glycans onto specific tyrosine residues did not further increase the anti-glycan antibody level; (iii) the sera deriving from immunization with defined conjugates at tyrosine and, particularly at lysine residues, were proven stronger inhibitors of fungal adhesion to human epithelial cells in comparison to those from conjugates prepd. by classic random chem.; (iv) the presence of antibodies directed to the linkers did not affect the anti-glycan immune response.

Conjugation of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) capsular polysaccharides to streptococcal pilus protein could extend the vaccine coverage to a variety of strains. Application of the authors' protocol to these large charged polysaccharides occurred at low yields. Herein the authors developed a tyrosine-directed conjugation approach based on the copper-free click chem. of sugars modified with cyclooctynes, which enables efficient condensation of synthetic carbohydrates. Most importantly, this strategy is more effective than the corresponding copper catalyzed reaction for the insertion of GBS onto the tyrosine residues of GBS pilus proteins, previously selected as vaccine antigens through the so-called reverse vaccinol. Integrity of protein epitopes in the modified proteins was ascertained by competitive ELISA, and conjugation of polysaccharide to protein was confirmed by SDS page electrophoresis and immunoblot assays. The amt. of conjugated polysaccharide was estd. by high-performance anion-exchange chromatog. coupled with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD).

Covalent modification can expand a protein's functional capacity. Fluorescent or radioactive labeling, for instance, allows imaging of a protein in real time. Labeling with an affinity probe enables isolation of target proteins and other interacting mols. At the other end of this functional spectrum, protein structures can be naturally altered by enzymic action. Protein-protein interactions, genetic regulation, and a range of cellular processes are under the purview of these post-translational modifications. The ability of protein chemists to install these covalent addns. selectively has been crit. for elucidating their roles in biol. Frequently the transformations must be applied in a site-specific manner, which demands the most selective chem. In this Account, we discuss the development and application of such chem. in our lab. A centerpiece of our strategy is a "tag-and-modify" approach, which entails sequential installation of a uniquely reactive chem. group into the protein (the "tag") and the selective or specific modification of this group. The chem. tag can be a natural or unnatural amino acid residue. Of the natural residues, cysteine is the most widely used as a tag. Early work in our program focused on selective disulfide formation in the synthesis of glycoproteins. For certain applications, the susceptibility of disulfides to redn. was a limitation and prompted the development of several methods for the synthesis of more stable thioether modifications. The desulfurization of disulfides and conjugate addn. to dehydroalanine are two routes to these modifications. The dehydroalanine tag has since proven useful as a general precursor to many modifications after conjugate addn. of various nucleophiles; phosphorylated, glycosylated, peptidylated, prenylated, and even mimics of methylated and acetylated lysine-contg. proteins are all accessible from dehydroalanine. While cysteine is a useful tag for selective modification, unnatural residues present the opportunity for bio-orthogonal chem. Azide-, arylhalide-, alkyne-, and alkene-contg. amino acids can be incorporated into proteins genetically and can be specifically modified through various transformations. These transformations often rely on metal catalysis. The Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne addn., Ru-catalyzed olefin metathesis, and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling are examples of such transformations. In the course of adapting these reactions to protein modification, we learned much about the behavior of these reactions in water, and in some cases entirely new catalysts were developed. Through a combination of these bio-orthogonal transformations from the panel of tag-and-modify reactions, multiple and distinct modifications can be installed on protein surfaces. Multiple modifications are common in natural systems, and synthetic access to these proteins has enabled study of their biol. role. Throughout these investigations, much has been learned in chem. and biol. The demands of selective protein modification have revealed many aspects of reaction mechanisms, which in turn have guided the design of reagents and catalysts that allow their successful deployment in water and in biol. milieu. With this ability to modify proteins, it is now possible to interrogate biol. systems with precision that was not previously possible. - 46Boutureira, O.; Bernardes, G. J.

(American Chemical Society)A new PEGylation reagent enabling selective modification of free thiol groups is described in this article. The reagent was synthesized by attaching linear polyethylene glycol (PEG) N-hydroxysuccinimide to selenocystamine. The reaction was very fast, resulting in over 95% conversion yield. The active group of this new PEG-Se reagent is a diselenide, reacting with thiols via thiol/diselenide exchange reaction. Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) with an unpaired cysteine at the position 18 (Cys18) was used as a model protein. It was comparatively PEGylated with the new PEG-Se reagent, as well as with com. available maleimide (PEG-Mal) and ortho-pyridyl disulfide (PEG-OPSS) PEG reagents. The highest PEGylation yield was obtained with PEG-Mal, followed by PEG-OPSS and PEG-Se. The reaction rates of PEG-Mal and PEG-Se were comparable, while the reaction rate of PEG-OPSS was lower. Purified monoPEGylated rhG-CSF conjugates were characterized and compared. Differences in activity, stability, and in vivo performance were obsd., although all conjugates contained a 20 kDa PEG attached to the Cys18. Minor conformational changes were obsd. in the conjugate prepd. with PEG-Mal. These changes were also reflected in low in vitro biol. activity and aggregate formation of the maleimide conjugate. The conjugate prepd. with PEG-Se had the highest in vitro biol. activity, while the conjugate prepd. with PEG-OPSS had the best in vivo performance. - 51Grayson, E. J.; Bernardes, G. J.

Dha, in turn, is a chem. precursor to mimics of six distinct PTMs (post-translational modifications): mono-, di-, and trimethylated lysine, acetylated lysine, phosphorylated serine, and glycosylated serine. Through their combined use, we have shown ready switching of site and PTM type. The same modification could also be installed at multiple sites on a multi-milligram scale. To illustrate the potential of this technol., the first validation of phosphocysteine as a mimic of phosphoserine in any protein was described, the first access to a glycosylated histone was enabled, and the first direct observation of HDAC activity on an acetylated lysine mimic was reported for a full-length histone. The demonstrated interaction of our synthetic modified histones with both readers and writer/erasers shown here is a key step. Currently, we are exploring the use of the modified histones reported here as substrates for other chromatin-modifying enzymes.

(Nature Publishing Group)Antibody-drug conjugates enhance the antitumor effects of antibodies and reduce adverse systemic effects of potent cytotoxic drugs. However, conventional drug conjugation strategies yield heterogeneous conjugates with relatively narrow therapeutic index (max. tolerated dose/curative dose). Using leads from the authors' previously described phage display-based method to predict suitable conjugation sites, the authors engineered cysteine substitutions at positions on light and heavy chains that provide reactive thiol groups and do not perturb Ig folding and assembly, or alter antigen binding. When conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E, an antibody against the ovarian cancer antigen MUC16 is as efficacious as a conventional conjugate in mouse xenograft models. Moreover, it is tolerated at higher doses in rats and cynomolgus monkeys than the same conjugate prepd. by conventional approaches. The favorable in vivo properties of the near-homogeneous compn. of this conjugate suggest that this strategy offers a general approach to retaining the antitumor efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates, while minimizing their systemic toxicity.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated considerable utility in the clin. treatment of cancer, but unmodified Igs are rarely curative, esp. when used as single agents. Thus, there is considerable interest in arming antibodies with bioactive payloads (e.g., drugs, radionuclides, cytokines), to improve their potency and selectivity, thus increasing activity at the tumor site while sparing normal tissues. However, monoclonal antibodies specific to tumor cell antigens often exhibit limited diffusion into the solid tumor mass by several mechanisms, including slow extravasation and antibody trapping by perivascular tumor cells (the so-called antigen barrier). In view of the fact that the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is a rare process in a healthy adult but a characteristic feature of virtually all types of aggressive cancers, it would be reasonable to develop vascular-targeting antibody-dug conjugates (ADCs). In conclusion, a novel approach for the delivery of cytotoxic drugs using ADCs has been developed. Current ADCs target tumor cell surface markers and rely on the DC being internalized in the cells for drug delivery. Instead, our approach relies on targeting the tumor neo-vasculature offering comprehensive tumoral coverage.(c) Perrino, E.; Steiner, M.; Krall, N.; Bernardes, G. J.

(American Association for Cancer Research)It is generally thought that the anticancer efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) relies on their internalization by cancer cells. However, recent work on an ADC that targets fibronectin in the tumor microenvironment suggests this may not be necessary. The alternatively spliced extra domains A and B (EDA and EDB) of fibronectin offer appealing targets for ADC development, because the antigen is strongly expressed in many solid human tumors and nearly undetectable in normal tissues except for the female reproductive system. In this study, we describe the properties of a set of ADCs based on an antibody targeting the alternatively spliced EDA of fibronectin coupled to one of a set of potent cytotoxic drugs (DM1 or one of two duocarmycin derivs.). The DM1 conjugate SIP(F8)-SS-DM1 mediated potent antitumor activity in mice bearing DMl-sensitive F9 tumors but not DMl-insensitive CT26 tumors. Quant. biodistribution studies and microscopic analyses confirmed a preferential accumulation of SIP(F8)-SS-DM1 in the subendothelial extracellular matrix of tumors, similar to the pattern obsd. for unmodified antibody. Notably, we found that treatments were well tolerated at efficacious doses that were fully curative and compatible with pharmaceutical development. Our findings offer a preclin. proof-of-concept for curative ADC targeting the tumor microenvironment that do not rely upon antigen internalization.(d) Bernardes, G. J.

(Nature Publishing Group)Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are promising agents for the selective delivery of cytotoxic drugs to specific cells (for example, tumors). In this protocol, we describe two strategies for the precise modification at engineered C- or N-terminal cysteines of antibodies in IgG, diabody and small immunoprotein (SIP) formats that yield homogenous ADCs. In this protocol, cemadotin derivs. are used as model drugs, as these agents have a potent cytotoxic activity and are easy to synthesize. However, other drugs with similar functional groups could be considered. In the first approach, a cemadotin deriv. contg. a sulfhydryl group results in a mixed disulfide linkage. In the second approach, a cemadotin deriv. contg. an aldehyde group is joined via a thiazolidine linkage. The procedures outlined are robust, enabling the prepn. of ADCs with a defined no. of drugs per antibody in a time frame between 7 and 24 h.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Herein, we review the development, optimization, applications and potential prospects of a novel click reaction based on the condensation reaction between 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) and D-cysteine (D-Cys) in fireflies. This click condensation reaction has obvious advantages in biocompatibility, efficiency and stability in aq. environments. Optimization of this click reaction has been carried out so that it can be controlled by pH change, redn., or enzymic cleavage to synthesize large mols. and self-assembled nanostructures, or enhance probe signals. Consequently, this CBT-based click reaction has been and could be successfully applied to a wide range of biomedical applications such as mol. imaging (e.g., optical imaging, nuclear imaging and magnetic resonance imaging), biomol. detection, drug delivery and other potentialities.

(American Chemical Society)The maleimide motif is widely used for the selective chem. modification of cysteine residues in proteins. Despite widespread utilization, there are some potential limitations, including the irreversible nature of the reaction and, hence, the modification and the no. of attachment positions. The authors conceived of a new class of maleimide which would address some of these limitations and provide new opportunities for protein modification. The authors report herein the use of mono- and dibromomaleimides for reversible cysteine modification and illustrate this on the SH2 domain of the Grb2 adaptor protein (L111C). After initial modification of a protein with a bromo- or dibromomaleimide, it is possible to add an equiv. of a second thiol to give further bioconjugation, demonstrating that bromomaleimides offer opportunities for up to three points of attachment. The resultant protein-maleimide products can be cleaved to regenerate the unmodified protein by addn. of a phosphine or a large excess of a thiol. Furthermore, dibromomaleimide can insert into a disulfide bond, forming a maleimide bridge, and this is illustrated on the peptide hormone somatostatin. Fluorescein-labeled dibromomaleimide is synthesized and inserted into the disulfide to construct a fluorescent somatostatin analog. These results highlight the significant potential for this new class of reagents in protein modification. - 60Moody, P.; Smith, M. E. B.; Ryan, C. P.; Chudasama, V.; Baker, J.

(Nature Publishing Group)Many antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are unstable in vivo because they are formed from maleimide-contg. components conjugated to reactive thiols. These thiosuccinimide linkages undergo two competing reactions in plasma: elimination of the maleimide through a retro-Michael reaction, which results in loss of drug-linker from the ADC, and hydrolysis of the thiosuccinimide ring, which results in a deriv. that is resistant to the elimination reaction. In an effort to create linker technologies with improved stability characteristics, we used diaminopropionic acid (DPR) to prep. a drug-linker incorporating a basic amino group adjacent to the maleimide, positioned to provide intramol. catalysis of thiosuccinimide ring hydrolysis. This basic group induces the thiosuccinimide to undergo rapid hydrolysis at neutral pH and room temp. Once hydrolyzed, the drug-linker is no longer subject to maleimide elimination reactions, preventing nonspecific deconjugation. In vivo studies demonstrate that the increased stability characteristics can lead to improved ADC antitumor activity and reduced neutropenia.(b) Tumey, L.

The PEGylated antibody Cimzia underwent ring-opening and retro-Michael addns. with rates consistent with model compds. except for the difference in acidity of the internal cysteine thiol of Cimizia's antibody vs. the nearly terminal cysteine thiols of the model compds.

(American Chemical Society)Current routes for synthesizing antibody-drug conjugates commonly rely on maleimide linkers to react with cysteine thiols. However, thioether exchange with metabolites and serum proteins can compromise conjugate stability and diminish in vivo efficacy. We report the application of a phenyloxadiazole sulfone linker for the prepn. of trastuzumab conjugates. This sulfone linker site-specifically labeled engineered cysteine residues in THIOMABs and improved antibody conjugate stability in human plasma at sites previously shown to be labile for maleimide conjugates. Similarly, sulfone conjugation with selenocysteine in an anti-ROR1 scFv-Fc improved human plasma stability relative to maleimide conjugation. Kinetically controlled labeling of a THIOMAB contg. two cysteine substitutions was also achieved, offering a strategy for producing antibody conjugates with expanded valency. - 74Abbas, A.; Xing, B.; Loh, T.-P.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)In this study, a remarkably simple and direct strategy has been successfully developed to selectively label target cysteine residues in fully unprotected peptides and proteins. The strategy is based on the reaction between allenamides and the cysteine thiol, and proceeds swiftly in aq. medium with excellent selectivity and quant. conversion, thus forming a stable and irreversible conjugate. The combined simplicity and mildness of the process project allenamide as robust and versatile handles to target cysteines and has potential use in biol. systems. Addnl., fluorescent-labeling studies demonstrated that the installation of a C-terminal allenamide moiety onto various mols. of interest may supply a new methodol. towards the site-specific labeling of cysteine-contg. proteins. Such a new labeling strategy may thus open a window for its application in the field of life sciences.

Several thiol-contg. peptides were investigated by examg. the correlation between the second-order rate const. of their addn. onto PEG-diacrylate and the pKa of the thiols within a peptide. By introducing charged amino acids in close proximity to a cysteine, the pKa of the thiol was systematically modulated by electrostatic interactions. Pos. charges from the amino acid arginine decreased the pKa of the thiol and accelerated the reaction with acrylates while neg. charges from aspartic acids showed the opposite effect. A linear correlation between thiolate concns. and kinetic consts. was found, confirming the role of thiolates as the reactive species in this Michael-type reaction. The relevant factors influencing the reactivity were the sign and the no. of the neighboring charges, while the position of these charges had little effect on reactivity. These results provide a basis for the rational design of peptides, where the kinetics, and thus, selectivity of protein/peptide conjugation with polymeric structures via Michael-type addn. reactions can be controlled. - 76Ma, F.-H.; Chen, J.-L.; Li, Q.-F.; Zuo, H.-H.; Huang, F.; Su, X.-C.

Reactivity and selectivity are key issues in current chem. modification of proteins. The Michael addn.-like thiol-ene reaction is a useful tool that can be used to tag proteins with high selectivity for the solvent-exposed thiol groups of proteins. To obtain insight into the bioconjugation of proteins with this method, a kinetic anal. was performed. New vinyl-substituted pyridine derivs. were designed and synthesized. The reactivity of these vinyl tags with L-cysteine was evaluated by UV absorption and high-resoln. NMR spectroscopy. The results show that protonation of pyridine plays a key role in the overall reaction rates. The kinetic parameters were assessed in protein modification. The different reactivities of these vinyl tags with solvent-exposed cysteine is valuable information in the selective labeling of proteins with multiple functional groups.

(Nature Publishing Group)The reactive thiol in cysteine is used for coupling maleimide linkers in the generation of antibody conjugates. To assess the impact of the conjugation site, we engineered cysteines into a therapeutic HER2/neu antibody at three sites differing in solvent accessibility and local charge. The highly solvent-accessible site rapidly lost conjugated thiol-reactive linkers in plasma owing to maleimide exchange with reactive thiols in albumin, free cysteine or glutathione. In contrast, a partially accessible site with a pos. charged environment promoted hydrolysis of the succinimide ring in the linker, thereby preventing this exchange reaction. The site with partial solvent-accessibility and neutral charge displayed both properties. In a mouse mammary tumor model, the stability and therapeutic activity of the antibody conjugate were affected pos. by succinimide ring hydrolysis and neg. by maleimide exchange with thiol-reactive constituents in plasma. Thus, the chem. and structural dynamics of the conjugation site can influence antibody conjugate performance by modulating the stability of the antibody-linker interface.

(American Chemical Society)Chem. methods for modifying proteins can enable studies aimed at uncovering biochem. function. Herein, we describe the use of thiol-ene coupling (TEC) chem. to report on the function of branched (also referred to as forked) ubiquitin trimers. We show how site-specific isopeptide (Nε-Gly-l-homothiaLys) bonds are forged between two mols. of Ub, demonstrating the power of TEC in protein conjugation. Moreover, we demonstrate that the Nε-Gly-l-homothiaLys isopeptide bond is processed to a similar extent by deubiquitinases (DUBs) as that of a native Nε-Gly-l-Lys isopeptide bond, thereby establishing the utility of TEC in the generation of Ub-Ub linkages. TEC is then applied to the synthesis of branched Ub trimers. Interrogation of these branched derivs. with DUBs reveals that the relative orientation of the two Ub units has a dramatic impact on how they are hydrolyzed. In particular, cleavage of K48C-linkages is suppressed when the central Ub unit is also conjugated through K6C, whereas cleavage proceeds normally when the central unit is conjugated through either K11C or K63C. The results of this work presage a role for branched polymeric Ub chains in regulating linkage-selective interactions.(b) Li, F.; Allahverdi, A.; Yang, R.; Lua, G. B.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A previously unexplored thiol-ene radical addn. reaction involving the com. available N-vinyl acetamide (NVA) is well suited for the S-acetamidoethylation of cysteine residues in synthetic peptides and recombinant proteins. The resultant N-acetyl-thialysine differs from natural acetyllysine only isosterically at the γ position of the amino acid structure and is functionally equiv. or similar to the latter. Although a limitation of the method is that the protein substrates should not contain other cysteines, it nevertheless has many potential applications, such as the histone epigenetic study--an intense research area at present. The reaction system is robust and gives near quant. yields of site-specifically acetylated proteins that can be purified in a simple chromatog. or dialysis step. The ease of implementation of this method also makes it easily adoptable for researchers from the bioscience research community. As such, this radical reaction approach provides a convenient enabling tool for the study of lysine acetylation biol. and will help to advance research in this important field. - 80Conte, M.

Being nearly 100-fold smaller than antibodies, they promise advantages such as access to chem. synthesis, efficient diffusion into tissues, and needle-free application. However, unlike antibodies, they do not have a folded structure in soln. and thus do not bind as well as antibodies. We developed bicyclic peptides with hydrophilic chem. structures at their center to promote noncovalent intramol. interactions, thereby stabilizing the peptide conformation. The sequences of the peptides isolated by phage display from large combinatorial libraries were strongly influenced by the type of small mol. used in the screen, thus suggesting that the peptides fold around the small mols. X-ray structure anal. revealed that the small mols. indeed formed hydrogen bonds with the peptides.

This reaction was efficient and selective, yielding completely modified peptide fusion protein and no side products. After optimization of the linker and the Fc fragment format, the bicyclic peptide was fully functional as an inhibitor (Ki = 76 nM) and showed an extended terminal half-life of 1.5 days in mice. The unexpectedly clean reaction makes chem. macrocyclization of peptide-Fc fusion proteins an attractive synthetic approach.

Isolated peptides shared strong consensus sequences, indicating target-specific binding.

(American Association for the Advancement of Science)Recombinant proteins contg. four cysteines at the i, i + 1, i + 4, and i + 5 positions of a α helix were fluorescently labeled in living cells by extracellular administration of 4',5'-bis(1,3,2-dithioarsolan-2-yl)fluorescein. This designed small ligand is membrane-permeant and nonfluorescent until it binds with high affinity and specificity to the tetracysteine domain. Such in situ labeling adds much less mass than does green fluorescent protein and offers greater versatility in attachment sites as well as potential spectroscopic and chem. properties. This system provides a recipe for slightly modifying a target protein so that it can be singled out from the many other proteins inside live cells and fluorescently stained by small nonfluorescent dye mols. added from outside the cells.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The authors introduce a facile technique that allows for efficacy testing of protein drugs in animal models by extending the half-life in the blood of any selected protein candidate without compromising bioactivity. This technique offers the benefits of site-specific PEGylation without time-consuming and costly chem. modification and purifn. processes, enabling high-throughput testing of protein drugs in vivo. The general concept used is to PEGylate proteins through a complementary interaction between an oligo-histidine tag (His-tag) and a Ni2+ complex of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), which is now widely used in protein research. For example, protein immobilization techniques and protein labeling with fluorophores use the properties of a His-tag binding to NTA. The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) was chosen as a model protein drug. The general design of reactive Ni-NTA-PEG analogs, and its binding to a His-tag, hexahistidine (H6), and fused protein are illustrated. Using TRAIL as a model protein, we demonstrated that a unique Ni-NTA-PEG analog assocd. with a His-tagged protein is able to provide outstanding physicochem. stability without compromising the bioactivity. Importantly, the Ni-NTA-PEG analog maximized the pharmacol. efficacy of the protein drug in vivo.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Site-specific modification of proteins is a major challenge in modern chem. biol. due to the large no. of reactive functional groups typically present in polypeptides. Because of its importance in biol. and medicine, the development of methods for site-specific modification of proteins is an area of intense research. Selective protein modification procedures have been useful for oriented protein immobilization, for studies of naturally occurring post-translational modifications, for creating antibody-drug conjugates, for the introduction of fluorophores and other small mols. on to proteins, for examg. protein structure, folding, dynamics, and protein-protein interactions, and for the prepn. of protein-polymer conjugates. One of the most important approaches for protein labeling is to incorporate bioorthogonal functionalities into proteins at specific sites via enzymic reactions. The incorporated tags then enable reactions that are chemoselective, whose functional groups not only are inert in biol. media, but also do not occur natively in proteins or other macromols. This review article summarizes the enzymic strategies, which enable site-specific functionalization of proteins with a variety of different functional groups. The enzymes covered in this review include formylglycine generating enzyme, sialyltransferases, phosphopantetheinyltransferases, O-GlcNAc post-translational modification, sortagging, transglutaminase, farnesyltransferase, biotin ligase, lipoic acid ligase, and N-myristoyltransferase.(b) Rashidian, M.; Kumarapperuma, S.

(American Chemical Society)Construction of heterofunctional proteins is a rapidly emerging area of biotherapeutics. Combining a protein with other moieties, such as a targeting element, a toxic protein or small mol., and a fluorophore or polyethylene glycol (PEG) group, can improve the specificity, functionality, potency, and pharmacokinetic profile of a protein. Protein farnesyl transferase (PFTase) is able to site-specifically and quant. prenylate proteins contg. a C-terminal CaaX-box amino acid sequence with various modified isoprenoids. Here, the authors describe the design, synthesis, and application of a triorthogonal reagent (I) that can be used to site-specifically incorporate an alkyne and aldehyde group simultaneously into a protein. To illustrate the capabilities of this approach, a protein was enzymically modified with compd. I followed by oxime ligation and click reaction to simultaneously incorporate an azido-tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) fluorophore and an aminooxy-PEG moiety. This was performed with both a model protein [green fluorescent protein (GFP)] as well as a therapeutically useful protein [ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)]. Next, a protein was enzymically modified with compd. I followed by coupling to an azido-bis-methotrexate dimerizer and aminooxy-TAMRA. Incubation of that construct with a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-DHFR-anti-CD3 fusion protein resulted in the self-assembly of nanoring structures that were endocytosed into T-leukemia cells and visualized therein. These results highlight how complex multifunctional protein assemblies can be prepd. using this facile triorthogonal approach. - 88Uchinomiya, S.; Ojida, A.; Hamachi, I. Inorg.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Protein-labeling methods serve as essential tools for analyzing functions of proteins of interest under complicated biol. conditions such as in live cells. These labeling methods are useful not only to fluorescently visualize proteins of interest in biol. systems but also to conduct protein and cell analyses by harnessing the unique functions of mol. probes. Among the various labeling methods available, an appropriate binding pair consisting of a short peptide and a de novo designed small mol. probe has attracted attention because of its wide utility and versatility. Most peptide tag/probe pairs exploit metal-ligand coordination interactions as the main binding force responsible for their assocn. Herein, the authors provide an overview of the recent progress of these coordination-chem.-based protein-labeling methods and their applications for fluorescence imaging and functional anal. of cellular proteins, while highlighting the authors' originally developed labeling methods.

(American Chemical Society)Specific protein-peptide interactions are prevalent in the living cells and form a tightly regulated signaling network. These interactions, many of which have structural information revealed, provide ideal templates for affinity-guided covalent bioconjugation. Here we report the development of a set of four new reactions that covalently and site-specifically link nonenzymic scaffolding domains (two PDZ and two SH3 domains) and their ligands through thiol-chloroacetyl SN2 reaction. Guided by the three-dimensional structure of the wild type complex, a selected position of the protein was mutated to cysteine, and at the same time, an α-chloroacetyl group was installed at a corresponding position of the peptide. Specific binding interaction between the two brings the reactive groups into close proximity, converts the nonreactive cysteine residue into a content-dependent reactive site, and induces the nucleophilic reaction that is inert in the absence of the binding event. The specificity, orthogonality, and modularity of the four reactions were characterized, the reaction was applied to label proteins in vitro and receptor on the surface of mammalian cells, and the system was utilized to assemble covalent protein complexes with unnatural geometries.(d) Xiang, Z.; Lacey, V.

New covalent bonds were genetically introduced into proteins by enabling an unnatural amino acid (Uaa) to selectively react with a proximal natural residue. This proximity-enabled bioreactivity was expanded to a series of haloalkane Uaas. Orthogonal tRNA/synthetase pairs were evolved to incorporate these Uaas, which only form a covalent thioether bond with cysteine when positioned in close proximity. By using the Uaa and cysteine, spontaneous covalent bond formation was demonstrated between an affibody and its substrate Z protein, thereby leading to irreversible binding, and within the affibody to increase its thermostability. This strategy of proximity-enabled protein crosslinking (PEPC) may be generally expanded to target different natural amino acids, thus providing diversity and flexibility in covalent bond formation for protein research and protein engineering.(e) Masuya, T.; Murai, M.; Ifuku, K.; Morisaka, H.; Miyoshi, H.

(American Chemical Society)The site-specific chem. modification of NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) by various functional probes such as fluorophores and microbeads, without affecting the enzyme activity, may allow single-mol. analyses of putative dynamic conformational changes in the enzyme. In an attempt to address this challenge, we performed site-specific alkynylation of complex I in bovine heart submitochondrial particles by means of a ligand-directed tosylate (LDT) chem. strategy with synthetic acetogenin ligand 1, which has an alkynylated tosylate in the tail moiety, as a high-affinity ligand against the enzyme. The terminal alkyne was chosen as the tag to be incorporated into the enzyme because this functional group can serve as a "footing" for subsequent diverse chem. modifications via so-called click chem. (i.e., azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddn. in water). To identify the position alkynylated by ligand 1, fluorescent tetramethylrhodamine was covalently attached to the incorporated alkyne by click chem. after the solubilization of complex I. Detailed proteomic analyses revealed that alkynylation occurred at Asp160 in the 49 kDa subunit, which may be located in the inner part of the putative quinone-binding cavity. The alkynylation was completely suppressed in the presence of an excess of other inhibitors such as bullatacin and quinazoline. While the reaction yield of the alkynylation step via LDT chem. was estd. to be ∼50%, the alkynylation unfortunately resulted in the almost complete inhibition of enzyme activity. Nevertheless, the results of this study demonstrate that complex I can be site-specifically alkynylated through LDT chem., providing a clue about the diverse chem. modifications of the enzyme in combination with click chem.(f) Hayashi, T.; Sun, Y.; Tamura, T.; Kuwata, K.; Song, Z.; Takaoka, Y.; Hamachi, I.

Selective labeling of glycoproteins is facilitated by the DMAP-tethered lectin catalysts both in vitro and on living cells. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) anal. enabled us to isolate labeled glycoproteins that are uniquely exposed on distinct cell lines. Furthermore, the combination of immunopptn. with mass spectrometry (MS)-fingerprinting techniques allowed us to characterize 48 glycoproteins endogenously expressed on HeLa cells, and some low-abundant glycoproteins, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and neuropilin-1, were successfully identified.

(American Chemical Society)The ability to modify target native (endogenous) proteins selectively in living cells with synthetic mols. should provide powerful tools for chem. biol. To this end, the authors recently developed a novel protein labeling technique termed ligand-directed tosyl (LDT) chem. This method uses labeling reagents in which a protein ligand and a synthetic probe are connected by a tosylate ester group. The authors previously demonstrated its applicability to the selective chem. labeling of several native proteins in living cells and mice. However, many fundamental features of this chem. remain to be studied. In this work, the authors investigated the relation between the LDT reagent structure and labeling properties by using native FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) as a target protein. In vitro expts. revealed that the length and rigidity of the spacer structure linking the protein ligand and the tosylate group have significant effects on the overall labeling yield and labeling site. In addn. to histidine, which the authors reported previously, tyrosine and glutamate residues were identified as amino acids that are modified by LDT-mediated labeling. Through the screening of various spacer structures, piperazine was optimal for FKBP12 labeling in terms of labeling efficiency and site specificity. Using a piperazine-based LDT reagent contg. a photoreactive probe, the authors successfully demonstrated the labeling and UV-induced covalent crosslinking of FKBP12 and its interacting proteins in vitro and in living cells. This study not only furthers the understanding of the basic reaction properties of LDT chem. but also extends the applicability of this method to the investigation of biol. processes in mammalian cells.(i) Fujishima, S.-h.; Yasui, R.; Miki, T.; Ojida, A.; Hamachi, I.

It was clear that LDAI selectively labeled a single Lys(K32) in DHFR, proximal to the ligand-binding pocket. The authors also demonstrate that the fluorescein-labeled (endogenous, by LDAI) FR works as a fluorescent biosensor on the live KB cell surface, which allowed the authors to carry out unprecedented in situ kinetic anal. of ligand binding to FR.(j) Wang, H.; Koshi, Y.; Minato, D.; Nonaka, H.; Kiyonaka, S.; Mori, Y.; Tsukiji, S.; Hamachi, I.

(American Chemical Society)Catalysts hold promise as tools for chem. protein modification. However, the application of catalysts or catalyst-mediated reactions to proteins has only recently begun to be addressed, mainly in in vitro systems. By radically improving the affinity-guided DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) (AGD) catalysts that the authors previously reported, here the authors have developed a new organocatalyst-based approach that allows specific chem. acylation of a receptor protein on the surface of live cells. The catalysts consist of a set of multivalent DMAP groups (the acyl transfer catalyst) fused to a ligand specific to the target protein. It was clearly demonstrated by in vitro expts. that the catalyst multivalency enables remarkable enhancement of protein acylation efficiency in the labeling of three different proteins: congerin II, a Src homol. 2 (SH2) domain, and FKBP12. Using a multivalent AGD catalyst and optimized acyl donors contg. a chosen probe, the authors successfully achieved selective chem. labeling of bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R), a G-protein coupled receptor, on the live cell-surface. Furthermore, the present tool allowed the authors to construct a membrane protein (B2R)-based fluorescent biosensor, the fluorescence of which is enhanced (tuned on) in response to the antagonist ligand binding. The biosensor should be applicable to rapid and quant. screening and assay of potent drug candidates in the cellular context. The design concept of the affinity-guided, multivalent catalysts should facilitate further development of diverse catalyst-based protein modification tools, providing new opportunities for org. chem. in biol. research.(k) Tsukiji, S.; Miyagawa, M.; Takaoka, Y.; Tamura, T.; Hamachi, I.

(American Chemical Society)Because sugar-binding proteins, so-called lectins, play important roles in many biol. phenomena, the lectin-selective labeling should be useful for investigating biol. processes involving lectins as well as providing mol. tools for anal. of saccharides and these derivs. The authors describe herein a new strategy for lectin-selective labeling based on an acyl transfer reaction directed by ligand-tethered DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine). DMAP is an effective acyl transfer catalyst, which can activate an acyl ester for its transfer to a nucleophilic residue. To direct the acyl transfer reaction to a lectin of interest, the authors attached the DMAP to a saccharide ligand specific for the target lectin. It was clearly demonstrated by biochem. analyses that the target-selective labeling of Congerin II, an animal lectin having selective affinity for Lactose/LacNAc (N-acetyllactosamine), was achieved in the presence of Lac-tethered DMAPs and acyl donors contg. probes such as fluorescent mols. or biotin. Conventional peptide mapping expts. using HPLC and tandem mass-mass anal. revealed that the acyl transfer reaction site-specifically occurred at Tyr 51 of Cong II. This strategy was successfully extended to other lectins by changing the ligand part of the ligand-tethered DMAP. The authors also demonstrated that this labeling method is applicable not only to purified lectin in test tubes, but also to crude mixts. such as E. coli lysates or homogenized animal tissue samples expressing Congerin. - 90Lodge, J.

Tethering screens traditionally rely upon mass spectrometry to detect disulfide bond formation, which requires a time-consuming liq. chromatog. step. Here we show that tethering can be performed rapidly and inexpensively using a homogenous fluorescence polarization (FP) assay that detects displacement of a peptide ligand from the protein target as an indirect readout of disulfide formation. We apply this method, termed FP tethering, to identify fragments that disrupt the protein-protein interaction between the KIX domain of the transcriptional coactivator CBP and the transcriptional activator peptide pKID.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. PEGylation is a clin. proven strategy for increasing the therapeutic efficacy of protein-based medicines. Our approach to site-specific PEGylation exploits the thiol selective chem. of the two cysteine sulfur atoms from an accessible disulfide. It involves two key steps: (1) disulfide redn. to release the two cystine thiols, and (2) bis-alkylation to give a three-carbon bridge to which PEG is covalently attached. During this process, irreversible denaturation of the protein does not occur. Mechanistically, the conjugation is conducted by a sequential, interactive bis-alkylation using α,β-unsatd.-β'-mono-sulfone functionalized PEG reagents. The combination of: - (a) maintaining the protein's tertiary structure after redn. of a disulfide, (b) bis-thiol selectivity of the PEG reagent, and (c) PEG assocd. steric shielding ensure that only one PEG mol. is conjugated at each disulfide. Our studies have shown that peptides, proteins, enzymes and antibody fragments can be site-specifically PEGylated using a native and accessible disulfide without destroying the mols.' tertiary structure or abolishing its biol. activity. As the stoichiometric efficiency of our approach also enables recycling of any unreacted protein, it offers the potential to make PEGylated biopharmaceuticals as cost-effective medicines.

(American Chemical Society)To improve both the homogeneity and the stability of ADCs, we have developed site-specific drug-conjugating reagents that covalently rebridge reduced disulfide bonds. The new reagents comprise a drug, a linker, and a bis-reactive conjugating moiety that is capable of undergoing reaction with both sulfur atoms derived from a reduced disulfide bond in antibodies and antibody fragments. A disulfide rebridging reagent comprising monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) was prepd. and conjugated to trastuzumab (TRA). A 78% conversion of antibody to ADC with a drug to antibody ratio (DAR) of 4 was achieved with no unconjugated antibody remaining. The MMAE rebridging reagent was also conjugated to the interchain disulfide of a Fab derived from proteolytic digestion of TRA, to give a homogeneous single drug conjugated product. The resulting conjugates retained antigen-binding, were stable in serum, and demonstrated potent and antigen-selective cell killing in in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Disulfide rebridging conjugation is a general approach to prep. stable ADCs, which does not require the antibody to be recombinantly re-engineered for site-specific conjugation.(b) Wang, T.; Ng, D.

(American Chemical Society)The efficacy of protein-based medicines can be compromised by their rapid clearance from the blood circulatory system. Achieving optimal pharmacokinetics is a key requirement for the successful development of safe protein-based medicines. Protein PEGylation is a clin. proven strategy to increase the circulation half-life of protein-based medicines. One limitation of PEGylation is that there are few strategies that achieve site-specific conjugation of PEG to the protein. Here, we describe the covalent conjugation of PEG site-specifically to a polyhistidine tag (His-tag) on a protein. His-tag site-specific PEGylation was achieved with a domain antibody (dAb) that had a 6-histidine His-tag on the C-terminus (dAb-His6) and interferon α-2a (IFN) that had an 8-histidine His-tag on the N-terminus (His8-IFN). The site of PEGylation at the His-tag for both dAb-His6-PEG and PEG-His8-IFN was confirmed by digestion, chromatog., and mass-spectral studies. A methionine was also inserted directly after the N-terminal His-tag in IFN to give His8Met-IFN. Cyanogen bromide digestion studies of PEG-His8Met-IFN were also consistent with PEGylation at the His-tag. By using increased stoichiometries of the PEGylation reagent, it was possible to conjugate two sep. PEG mols. to the His-tag of both the dAb and IFN proteins. Stability studies followed by in vitro evaluation confirmed that these PEGylated proteins retained their biol. activity. In vivo PK studies showed that all of the His-tag PEGylated samples displayed extended circulation half-lives. Together, our results indicate that site-specific, covalent PEG conjugation at a His-tag can be achieved and biol. activity maintained with therapeutically relevant proteins. - 95(a) Bryden, F.; Maruani, A.; Savoie, H.; Chudasama, V.; Smith, M.

(American Chemical Society)The rapidly increasing interest in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates as powerful targeted anticancer agents demonstrates the growing appreciation of the power of antibodies and antibody fragments as highly selective targeting moieties. This targeting ability is of particular interest in the area of photodynamic therapy, as the applicability of current clin. photosensitizers is limited by their relatively poor accumulation in target tissue in comparison to healthy tissue. Although synthesis of porphyrin-antibody conjugates has been previously demonstrated, existing work in this area has been hindered by the limitations of conventional antibody conjugation methods. This work describes the attachment of azide-functionalized, water-sol. porphyrins to a trastuzumab Fab fragment via a novel conjugation methodol. This method allows for the synthesis of a homogeneous product without the loss of structural stability assocd. with conventional methods of disulfide modification. Biol. evaluation of the synthesized conjugates demonstrates excellent selectivity for a HER2 pos. cell line over the control, with no dark toxicity obsd. in either case.(b) Jones, M.

R.; Gibson, Matthew I.; Haddleton, David M.Journal of the American Chemical Society (2012), 134 (3), 1847-1852CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)A series of dibromomaleimides are very efficacious at insertion into peptidic disulfide bonds. This conjugation proceeds with a stoichiometric balance of reagents in buffered solns. in <15 min to give discrete products while maintaining the disulfide bridge and thus peptide conformation. The insertion is initiated by disulfide redn. using a water-sol. phosphine, tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) which allows for subsequent substitution of the two maleimide bromides by the generated thiols. Reaction of salmon calcitonin (sCT) with 2,3-dibromomaleimide (1.1 excess) in the presence of TCEP (1.1 equiv) in aq. soln. at pH 6.2 gives complete prodn. of a single conjugate which requires no workup. A linear methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was functionalized via a Mitsunobu reaction and used for the successful site-specific and rapid pegylation of sCT. This reaction occurs in 15 min with a small stoichiometry excess of the pegylating agent to give insertion at the disulfide with HPLC showing a single product and MALDI-ToF confirming conjugation. Attempts to use the group in a functional ATRP polymn. initiator led to polymn. inhibition. Thus, to prep. a range of functional polymers, an indirect route was chosen via both azide and aniline functional initiators which were converted to 2,3-dibromomaleimides via appropriate reactions. For example, the azide functional polymer was reacted via a Huisgen CuAAC click reaction to an alkyne functional 2,3-dibromomaleimide. This new reagent allowed for the synthesis of conjugates of sCT with comb polymers derived from PEG methacrylic monomers which in addn. gave appropriate cloud points. This reaction represents a highly efficient polymer conjugation method which circumvents problems of purifn. which normally arise from having to use large excesses of the conjugate. In addn., the tertiary structure of the peptide is efficiently maintained. - 96(a) Jones, M. W.; Strickland, R. A.; Schumacher, F. F.; Caddick, S.; Baker, J. R.; Gibson, M. I.; Haddleton, D. M. Chem.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The advent of Adcetris and Kadcyla, two recently FDA-approved antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), in the clinic has had a major impact on the treatment of lymphoma and breast cancer patients, resp., worldwide. Despite these successes many new ADCs fail at various stages of development, often due to shortcomings in the methods used for their assembly. To address this problem we have developed next generation maleimides (NGMs), which specifically re-bridge reduced interchain disulfide bonds and allow the efficient conjugation of small mols. to antibodies, without the need for engineering of the target antibody. The method is site-specific and generates near homogeneous products in good yields. Moreover, adjustment of the reaction conditions allows control of the conjugation in terms of stoichiometry (drug-loading) and site selectivity. Using this method we prepd. a series of ADCs from trastuzumab and doxorubicin (DOX) with a controlled drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) of 1, 2, 3 and 4. All of these constructs were fully active by ELISA and had more than 90% of re-bridged disulfide bonds by CE-SDS when compared to clin. grade antibody. Furthermore, digest expts. of the DAR 2 material revealed that almost all of the drug had been targeted to the Fab arms of the antibody. Thus, NGMs offer a flexible and simple platform for the controlled assembly of ADCs from an antibody.

By varying the monomer to initiator ratios, polymers with targeted mol. wts. were obtained. The mol. wts. of the polymers were detd. by gel permeation chromatog. (GPC) and mass spectrometry (ESI and MALDI-TOF). The t-Boc protecting group was quant. removed to generate aminooxy terminated poly(HPMA) macromers. These macromers were converted to rhodamine B terminated poly(HPMA) by reacting N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester of the dye with the terminal aminooxy group to form a stable alkoxyamide bond. Utility of these dye-labeled polymers as mol. probes was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy by studying their intracellular uptake by renal epithelial cells. These aminooxy terminated poly(HPMA) were also tested as biocompatible carriers to prep. chemoselective bioconjugates of proteins using transferrin (Tf) as the protein. Oxidn. of the sialic acid side chains of Tf generated aldehyde functionalized protein that was reacted with aminooxy terminated poly(HPMA), which resulted in protein-polymer bioconjugates carrying oxime linkages. These bioconjugates were characterized by gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.(b) Zuberbühler, K.; Casi, G.; Bernardes, G. J. L.; Neri, D. Chem.

Glycosylation is the most common post-translational modification. Here we describe a method for the selective isolation, identification and quantification of peptides that contain N-linked carbohydrates. It is based on the conjugation of glycoproteins to a solid support using hydrazide chem., stable isotope labeling of glycopeptides and the specific release of formerly N-linked glycosylated peptides via peptide- N-glycosidase F (PNGase F). The recovered peptides are then identified and quantified by MS/MS. We applied the approach to the anal. of plasma membrane proteins and proteins contained in human blood serum. - 100Witus, L.

(American Chemical Society)The controlled attachment of synthetic groups to proteins is important for a no. of fields, including therapeutics, where antibody-drug conjugates are an emerging area of biol. medicines. We have previously reported a site-specific protein modification method using a transamination reaction that chemoselectively oxidizes the N-terminal amine of a polypeptide chain to a ketone or an aldehyde group. The newly introduced carbonyl can be used for conjugation to a synthetic group in one location through the formation of an oxime or a hydrazone linkage. To expand the scope of this reaction, we have used a combinatorial peptide library screening platform as a method to explore new transamination reagents while simultaneously identifying their optimal N-terminal sequences. N-Methylpyridinium-4-carboxaldehyde benzenesulfonate salt (Rapoport's salt, RS) was identified as a highly effective transamination reagent when paired with glutamate-terminal peptides and proteins. This finding establishes RS as a transamination reagent that is particularly well suited for antibody modification. Using a known therapeutic antibody, herceptin, it was demonstrated that RS can be used to modify the heavy chains of the wild-type antibody or to modify both the heavy and the light chains after N-terminal sequence mutation to add addnl. glutamate residues. - 101Carrico, I.

We replaced the natural Fc N-glycosylation sequon with a five amino-acid sequence that was efficiently converted by recombinant formylglycine generating enzyme in vitro, thereby introducing aldehyde groups for subsequent chem. elaboration. Oxime-linked glycoconjugates were synthesized by conjugating aminooxy N-acetylglucosamine to the modified Fc followed by enzymic transfer of complex N-glycans from corresponding glycan oxazolines by an EndoS-derived glycosynthase.

(American Chemical Society)Three types of metal-chelating polymers (MCPs) with hydrazide end groups were synthesized. (1) The first set of polymers (the F-series) was synthesized with a furan end group, and all of the pendant groups along the chain carried only a diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) metal-chelating functionality. The hydrazide was introduced via a Diels-Alder reaction between the furan and 3,3'-N-[ε-maleimidocaproic acid] hydrazide (EMCH). (2) The P-series polymers was designed to carry several copies of a nuclear-localization peptide sequence (NLS peptides, CGYGPKKKRKVGG, harboring the NLS from the simian virus 40 large T-antigen) in addn. to the DTPA metal-chelating groups. (3) The third type of polymer (the P-Py series) was a variation of the P-series polymers but with the introduction of a small no. of pyrene chromophores along the backbone to allow for UV measurement of the incorporation of the MCPs into trastuzumab (tmab). These hydrazide-terminated polymers were site-specifically conjugated to aldehyde groups generated by NaIO4 oxidn. of the pendant glycan in the Fc domain of tmab. The immunoconjugates were radiolabeled with 111In and analyzed by SE-HPLC to confirm the attachment of the polymer to the antibody. HER2 binding assays demonstrated that neither the MCPs nor the presence of the NLS peptides interfered with specific antigen recognition on SK-Br-3 cells, although nonspecific binding was increased by polymer conjugation. Our results suggest that MCPs can be site-specifically attached to antibodies via oxidized glycans in the Fc domain and labeled with 111In to construct radioimmunoconjugates with preserved immunoreactivity.(b) Zhou, Z.; Zhang, J.; Sun, L.; Ma, G.; Su, Z.

(American Chemical Society)The authors describe the rapid reaction of 2-amino benzamidoxime (ABAO) derivs. with aldehydes in water. The ABAO combines an aniline moiety for iminium-based activation of the aldehyde and a nucleophilic group (Nu:) ortho to the amine for intramol. ring closure. The reaction between ABAO and aldehydes is kinetically similar to oxime formations performed under stoichiometric aniline catalysis. The authors characterized the reaction by both NMR and UV spectroscopy and detd. that the rate-detg. step of the process is formation of a Schiff base, which is followed by rapid intramol. ring closure. The relation between apparent rate const. and pH suggests that a protonated benzamidoxime acts as an internal general acid in Schiff-base formation. The reaction is accelerated by substituents in the arom. ring that increase the basicity of the arom. amine. The rate of up to 40 M-1s-1 between an electron-rich aldehyde and 5-methoxy-ABAO (PMA), which was obsd. at pH 4.5, places this reaction among the fastest known bio-orthogonal reactions. Reaction between M13 phage-displayed library of peptides terminated with an aldehyde moiety and 1 mM biotin-ABAO deriv. reaches completion in 1 h at pH 4.5. Finally, the product of reaction, dihydroquinazoline deriv., shows fluorescence at 490 nm suggesting a possibility of developing fluorogenic aldehyde-reactive probes based on ABAO framework. - 106Agarwal, P.; van der Weijden, J.; Sletten, E.

Their reactive carbonyl groups are typically conjugated with α-effect nucleophiles, such as substituted hydrazines and alkoxyamines, to generate hydrazones and oximes, respectively. However, the resulting C=N linkages are susceptible to hydrolysis under physiologically relevant conditions, which limits the utility of such conjugates in biological systems. Here we introduce a Pictet-Spengler ligation that is based on the classic Pictet-Spengler reaction of aldehydes and tryptamine nucleophiles. The ligation exploits the bioorthogonal reaction of aldehydes and alkoxyamines to form an intermediate oxyiminium ion; this intermediate undergoes intramolecular C-C bond formation with an indole nucleophile to form an oxacarboline product that is hydrolytically stable. We used the reaction for site-specific chemical modification of glyoxyl- and formylglycine-functionalized proteins, including an aldehyde-tagged variant of the therapeutic monoclonal antibody Herceptin. In conjunction with techniques for site-specific introduction of aldehydes into proteins, the Pictet-Spengler ligation offers a means to generate stable bioconjugates for medical and materials applications.

They are typically conjugated with hydrazide or aminooxy nucleophiles under acidic conditions to yield hydrazone or oxime products that are relatively stable, but susceptible to hydrolysis over time. The authors introduce a new reaction, the hydrazino-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) ligation, which has two distinct advantages over hydrazone and oxime ligations. First, the HIPS ligation proceeds quickly near neutral pH, allowing for one-step labeling of aldehyde-functionalized proteins under mild conditions. Second, the HIPS ligation product is very stable (>5 days) in human plasma relative to an oxime-linked conjugate (∼1 day), as demonstrated by monitoring protein-fluorophore conjugates by ELISA. Thus, the HIPS ligation exhibits a combination of product stability and speed near neutral pH that is unparalleled by current carbonyl bioconjugation chemistries. - 108Drake, P. M.; Albers, A.

(American Chemical Society)It is becoming increasingly clear that site-specific conjugation offers significant advantages over conventional conjugation chemistries used to make antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Site-specific payload placement allows for control over both the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) and the conjugation site, both of which play an important role in governing the pharmacokinetics (PK), disposition, and efficacy of the ADC. In addn. to the DAR and site of conjugation, linker compn. also plays an important role in the properties of an ADC. The authors have previously reported a novel site-specific conjugation platform comprising linker payloads designed to selectively react with site-specifically engineered aldehyde tags on an antibody backbone. This chem. results in a stable C-C bond between the antibody and the cytotoxin payload, providing a uniquely stable connection with respect to the other linker chemistries used to generate ADCs. The flexibility and versatility of the aldehyde tag conjugation platform has enabled the authors to undertake a systematic evaluation of the impact of conjugation site and linker compn. on ADC properties. Here, the authors describe the prodn. and characterization of a panel of ADCs bearing the aldehyde tag at different locations on an IgG1 backbone conjugated using Hydrazino-iso-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) chem. The authors demonstrate that in a panel of ADCs with aldehyde tags at different locations, the site of conjugation has a dramatic impact on in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetic behavior in rodents; this advantage translates to an improved safety profile in rats as compared to a conventional lysine conjugate. - 109Han, M.-J.; Xiong, D.-C.; Ye, X.-S.

Strain-promoted reactions between cyclooctynes and 1,3-dipoles have emerged as a versatile technol. for the modification of proteins. A broad range of methods has been developed for the introduction of azides (and other dipoles) into proteins, and a range of cyclooctynes has now become synthetically readily accessible or com. available. The emergence of these techniques will greatly expand the ability to prep. homogeneous protein conjugates (PEGylation, dimerization, spin-labeling, etc.) without the need for metals or reagents; this could be of great value for, for example, the manuf. of biopharmaceuticals. The recent demonstration that cyclooctyne can be genetically encoded into a protein will facilitate the direct read-out of protein tracking in living cells and potentially whole organisms, and is therefore a substantial extension of the bioconjugation toolbox. Cycloaddns. with other, more reactive dipoles than azide (e.g., nitrones or nitrile oxides) is also feasible now. Although the reactivity of cyclooctyn-3-ol is relatively low, the genetic encoding of more reactive cyclic alkynes is a logical next step.

The structural complexity of mols. isolated from biol. sources has always served as an inspiration for org. chemists. Since the first synthesis of a natural product, urea, chemists have been challenged to prep. exact copies of natural structures in the lab. As a result, a broad repertoire of synthetic transformations has been developed over the years. It is now feasible to synthesize org. mols. of enormous complexity, and also mols. with less structural complexity but prodigious societal impact, such as nylon, TNT, polystyrene, statins, estradiol, XTC, and many more. Unfortunately, only a few chem. transformations are so mild and precise that they can be used to selectively modify biochem. structures, such as proteins or nucleic acids; these are the so-called bioconjugation strategies. Even more challenging is to apply a chem. reaction on or in living cells or whole organisms; these are the so-called bioorthogonal reactions. These fields of research are of particular importance because they not only pose a worthy challenge for chemists but also offer unprecedented possibilities for studying biol. systems, esp. in areas in which traditional biochem. and mol. biol. tools fall short. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the chem. biol. toolbox. In particular, a rapidly increasing no. of bioorthogonal reactions has been developed based on chem. involving strained alkenes or strained alkynes. Such strained unsatd. systems have the unique ability to undergo (3+2) and (4+2) cycloaddns. with a diverse set of complementary reaction partners. Accordingly, chem. centered around strain-promoted cycloaddns. has been exploited to precisely modify biopolymers, ranging from nucleic acids to proteins to glycans. In this Account, the authors describe progress in bioconjugation centered around cycloaddns. of these strained unsatd. systems. Being among the first to recognize the utility of strain-promoted cycloaddns. between alkenes and dipoles, the authors highlight their report in 2007 of the reaction of oxanobornadienes with azides, which occurs through a sequential cycloaddn. and retro Diels-Alder reaction. The authors further consider the subsequent refinement of this reaction as a valuable tool in chem. biol. The authors also examine the development of the reaction of cyclooctyne, the smallest isolable cyclic alkyne, with a range of substrates. Owing to severe deformation of the triple bond from ideal linear geometry, the cyclooctynes show high reactivity toward dienes, 1,3-dipoles, and other mol. systems. In the search for bioorthogonal reactions, cycloaddns. of cyclic alkenes and alkynes have now established themselves as powerful tools in reagent-free bioconjugations. - 116(a) Li, X.; Fang, T.; Boons, G.-J.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Antibody-drug conjugates hold considerable promise as anticancer agents, however, producing them remains a challenge and there is a need for mild, broadly applicable, site-specific conjugation methods that yield homogenous products. It was envisaged that enzymic remodeling of the oligosaccharides of an antibody would enable the introduction of reactive groups that can be exploited for the site-specific attachment of cytotoxic drugs. This is based on the observation that glycosyltransferases often tolerate chem. modifications in their sugar nucleotide substrates, thus allowing the installation of reactive functionalities. An azide was incorporated because this functional group is virtually absent in biol. systems and can be reacted by strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddn. This method, which does not require genetic engineering, was used to produce an anti-CD22 antibody modified with doxorubicin to selectively target and kill lymphoma cells.(b) Zeglis, B. M.; Davis, C.

(American Chemical Society)An enzyme- and click chem.-mediated methodol. for the site-selective radiolabeling of antibodies on the heavy chain glycans has been developed and validated. To this end, a model system based on the prostate specific membrane antigen-targeting antibody J591, the positron-emitting radiometal 89Zr, and the chelator desferrioxamine has been employed. The methodol. consists of four steps: (1) the removal of sugars on the heavy chain region of the antibody to expose terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues; (2) the incorporation of azide-modified N-acetylgalactosamine monosaccharides into the glycans of the antibody; (3) the catalyst-free click conjugation of desferrioxamine-modified dibenzocyclooctynes to the azide-bearing sugars; and (4) the radiolabeling of the chelator-modified antibody with 89Zr. The site-selective labeling methodol. proved facile, reproducible, and robust, producing 89Zr-labeled radioimmunoconjugates that display high stability and immunoreactivity in vitro (>95%) in addn. to highly selective tumor uptake (67.5 ± 5.0%ID/g) and tumor-to-background contrast in athymic nude mice bearing PSMA-expressing s.c.

(American Chemical Society)There are currently many methods available for labeling proteins to study their structure and function. However, the utility of these methods is hampered by low efficiency, slow reaction rates, nonbiocompatible reaction conditions, large-sized labeling groups, and the requirement of specific side chains such as cysteine or lysine. A simple and efficient method for protein labeling was developed, in which an azide-contg. amino acid was introduced into a protein and conjugated to a labeling reagent by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddn. (SPAAC). This method allowed the authors to label proteins by simply mixing a protein and a labeling reagent in physiol. conditions with a labeling yield of ∼80% in 120 min. In addn., the specificity of SPAAC made it possible to analyze the expression level of a protein quant. by simple mixing and SDS-PAGE anal. with no need for antibodies or multistep incubations. Because the genetic incorporation of the azide-contg. amino acid can be generally applied to any protein and the SPAAC reaction is highly specific, this method should prove useful for labeling and analyzing proteins. - 118van Geel, R.; Pruijn, G.

Nevertheless, azide-independent labeling of proteins by strained alkynes can occur to a varying extent, thereby limiting the sensitivity of assays based on strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddn. (SPAAC). A subset of three cyclooctynes, dibenzocyclooctyne (DIBO), azadibenzocyclooctyne (DIBAC), and bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN), was used to evaluate the azide-independent labeling of proteins in vitro. For all three cyclooctynes, thiol-yne addn. with reduced peptidylcysteines is responsible for most of the azide-independent polypeptide labeling. The identity of the reaction product was confirmed by LC-MS and NMR anal. Moreover, undesired thiol-yne reactions can be prevented by alkylating peptidylcysteine thiols with iodoacetamide (IAM). Since IAM is compatible with SPAAC, a more specific azide-dependent labeling is achieved by preincubating proteins contg. reduced cysteines with IAM. - 119Poole, T. H.; Reisz, J.

BruceJournal of the American Chemical Society (2014), 136 (17), 6167-6170CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)Protein sulfenic acids are formed by the reaction of biol. relevant reactive oxygen species with protein thiols. Sulfenic acid formation modulates the function of enzymes and transcription factors either directly or through the subsequent formation of protein disulfide bonds. Identifying the site, timing, and conditions of protein sulfenic acid formation remains crucial to understanding cellular redox regulation. Current methods for trapping and analyzing sulfenic acids involve the use of dimedone and other nucleophilic 1,3-dicarbonyl probes that form covalent adducts with cysteine-derived protein sulfenic acids. As a mechanistic alternative, the present study describes highly strained bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN) derivs. as concerted traps of sulfenic acids. These strained cycloalkynes react efficiently with sulfenic acids in proteins and small mols. yielding stable alkenyl sulfoxide products at rates >100x greater than 1,3-dicarbonyl reagents enabling kinetic competition with physiol. sulfur chem. Similar to the 1,3-dicarbonyl reagents, the BCN compds. distinguish the sulfenic acid oxoform from the thiol, disulfide, sulfinic acid, and S-nitrosated forms of cysteine while displaying an acceptable cell toxicity profile. The enhanced rates demonstrated by these strained alkynes identify them as new bioorthogonal probes that should facilitate the discovery of previously unknown sulfenic acid sites and their parent proteins. - 120Ning, X.; Temming, R.

(American Chemical Society)We have previously described an approach whereby antibody Fc fragments harboring a single C-terminal selenocysteine residue (Fc-Sec) are directed against a variety of targets by changing the peptide or small mol. to which they are conjugated. In the present work, we describe methodol. for improving the efficacy of these Fc-Sec conjugates by incorporating cytotoxic drugs. The Fc-Sec protein is first programmed to target specific tumor cell types by attachment of a bifunctional linker that contains a "clickable" handle (e.g., cyclobutane or cyclooctyne) in addn. to a tumor cell-binding peptide or small mol. Following Fc-Sec conjugation, a cytotoxic warhead is then attached by cycloaddn. reactions of tetrazine or azide-contg. linker. To validate this approach, we used a model system in which folic acid (FA) is the targeting moiety and a disulfide-linked biotin moiety serves as a cytotoxic drug surrogate. We demonstrated successful targeting of Fc-Sec proteins to folate-receptor expressing tumor cells. Tetrazine ligation was found to be an efficient method for biotin "arming" of the folate-targeted Fc-Sec proteins. We also report novel bioconjugation methodologies that use [4 + 2] cycloaddn. reactions between tetrazines and cyclooctynes.(b) Kele, P.; Mezö, G.; Achatz, D.; Wolfbeis, O. S. Angew. Chem., Int.

SPAAC (strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddn.) chem. is now available to site-specifically and noninvasively modify proteins in living cells. As the tRNA'/pylRSA showed no obvious dependence on linker length (1 vs. 2), it is conceivable that slightly altered derivs., such as mono- and difluorinated cyclooctynes, and possibly bicyclonones, could be directly used in this system. Other enhanced cyclooctynes, such as dibenzocycloctynes, could pose substantial challenges to the synthetase and/or the host translational machinery owing to their larger size. As pylRS from M. mazei is orthogonal in a variety of eukaryotic organisms, we are now evaluating the transfer of this system to mammalian cells, where the technique would not only greatly expand our abilities to track proteins in living specimen but also to introduce other type of functional groups, such as cross-linkers or spin-labels for NMR spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in living specimens.

The strategy exploits nonnatural amino acid incorporation for the introduction of L-homoallylglycine (L-Hag) into a protein and free-radical addn. hydrothiolation reactions, under conditions mild enough to retain protein activity throughout. In this way, Hag functions as a new tag combined here with a new modification as part of a general "tag-modify" strategy for synthetic-protein construction. While 1-thioglycoside formation by the free-radical addn. of 1-glycosylthiols to alkenes has been reported for the synthesis of small mols., to date this method has not been applied to the synthesis of S-linked glycoproteins or bioconjugates. The unique reactivity profile of L-Hag, with an olefinic sidechain compared to the natural amino acids characteristically found in proteins, allows for a chemoselective chem. reaction.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. This feature article discusses synthetic metal complexes that are capable of catalyzing chem. transformations in living organisms. Photodynamic therapy exemplifies what is probably the most established artificial catalytic process exploited in medicine, namely the photosensitized catalytic generation of cell-damaging singlet oxygen. Different redox catalysts have been designed over the last two decades to target a variety of redox alterations in cancer and other diseases. For example, pentaazamacrocyclic manganese(ii) complexes catalyze the dismutation of superoxide to O2 and H2O2in vivo and thus reduce oxidative stress in analogy to the native enzyme superoxide dismutase. Recently, piano-stool ruthenium and iridium complexes were reported to influence cellular redox homeostasis indirectly by catalytic glutathione oxidn. and catalytic transfer hydrogenation using the coenzyme NADH, resp. Over the last few years, significant progress was made towards the application of non-biol. reactions in living systems, ranging from the organoruthenium-catalyzed cleavage of alkylcarbamates and a gold-catalyzed intramol. hydroarylation to palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-couplings within the cytoplasm or on the surface of living cells.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. The broad utility of protein bioconjugates has created a need for new and diverse strategies for site-selective protein modification. In particular, chem. reactions that target alternative amino acid side chains or unnatural functional groups are emerging as a valuable complement to more commonly used lysine- and cysteine-based strategies. Considering their widespread use in org. synthesis, reactions catalyzed by transition metals could provide a particularly powerful set of transformations for the continued expansion of the bioconjugation toolkit. Recent efforts to apply transition metal catalysis to protein modification have resulted in new methods for protein crosslinking, tryptophan modification, tyrosine modification, reductive amination of protein amines, and unnatural amino acid labeling. These strategies have substantially expanded the synthetic flexibility of protein modification, and thus the range of applications for which bioconjugates can be used in chem. biol. and materials science.

To facilitate the detection of modified proteins using SDS-PAGE anal., a fluorescent allyl acetate was synthesized and coupled to chymotrypsinogen A and bacteriophage MS2. The tyrosine selectivity of the reaction was confirmed through trypsin digest anal.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Design and synthesis of a novel long-wavelength polarity-sensitive fluorescence probe, 6-[9-(diethylamino)-5-oxo-5 H-benzo[α]phenoxazin-2-yloxy]hex-2-enyl acetate, for the selective modification of tyrosine residues with the goal of providing local information on tyrosine domains in proteins, is reported. This probe comprises a polarity-sensitive Nile red fluorophore and an active π-allyl group that can form π-allylpalladium complexes and react selectively with tyrosine residues. Probe has the following features: 1) it has a long-wavelength emission of >550 nm, thanks to which interference from short-wavelength fluorescence from common biol. matrixes can be avoided; 2) the max. emission wavelength is sensitive only to polarity and not to pH or temp.; this allows the accurate detn. of local polarity; and 3) it is a neutral, uncharged mol., and does not disturb the overall charge of the labeled protein. With this probe the polarity and conformation changes of the Tyr108 domain in native and in acid- and heat-denatured bovine Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase were detected for the first time. It was found that the polarity of the Tyr108 domain hardly alters on acid denaturation between pH 4 and 9. However, heat denaturation caused the Tyr108 domain to be more hydrophobic, and was accompanied by an irreversible aggregation of the protein. In addn., the probe-binding expts. revealed that the surface of the protein becomes more hydrophobic after thermal denaturation; this can be ascribed to the formation of the more hydrophobic aggregates.

(American Chemical Society)The synthetic modification of proteins plays an important role in chem. biol. and biomaterials science. These fields provide a const. need for chem. tools that can introduce new functionality in specific locations on protein surfaces. In this work, an oxidative strategy is demonstrated for the efficient modification of N-terminal residues on peptides and N-terminal proline residues on proteins. The strategy uses o-aminophenols or o-catechols that are oxidized to active coupling species in situ using potassium ferricyanide. Peptide screening results have revealed that many N-terminal amino acids can participate in this reaction, and that proline residues are particularly reactive. When applied to protein substrates, the reaction shows a stronger requirement for the proline group. Key advantages of the reaction include its fast second-order kinetics and ability to achieve site-selective modification in a single step using low concns. of reagent. Although free cysteines are also modified by the coupling reaction, they can be protected through disulfide formation and then liberated after N-terminal coupling is complete. This allows access to doubly functionalized bioconjugates that can be difficult to access using other methods.(d) Seim, K. L.; Obermeyer, A. C.; Francis, M. B. J. Am. Chem.

(Nature Publishing Group)One of the most important current scientific paradoxes is the economy with which nature uses genes. In all higher animals studied, many fewer genes have been found than would have previously expected. The functional outputs of the eventual products of genes seem to be far more complex than the more restricted blueprint. In higher organisms, the functions of many proteins are modulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). These alterations of amino-acid side chains lead to higher structural and functional protein diversity and are, therefore, a leading contender for an explanation for this seeming incongruity. Natural protein prodn. methods typically produce PTM mixts. within which function is difficult to dissect or control. Until now it has not been possible to access pure mimics of complex PTMs. Here the authors report a chem. tagging approach that enables the attachment of multiple modifications to bacterially expressed (bare) protein scaffolds: this approach allows reconstitution of functionally effective mimics of higher organism PTMs. By attaching appropriate modifications at suitable distances in the widely-used LacZ reporter enzyme scaffold, the authors created protein probes that included sensitive systems for detection of mammalian brain inflammation and disease. Through target synthesis of the desired modification, chem. provides a structural precision and an ability to retool with a chosen PTM in a manner not available to other approaches. In this way, combining chem. control of PTM with readily available protein scaffolds provides a systematic platform for creating probes of protein-PTM interactions. The authors therefore anticipate that this ability to build model systems will allow some of this gene product complexity to be dissected, with the aim of eventually being able to completely duplicate the patterns of a particular protein's PTMs from an in vivo assay into an in vitro system.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The parallel comparison of the bioorthogonal click reactions, namely the strain-promoted copper-free cycloaddn. and the ligand-accelerated CuAAC, verifies the great potential of the latter as a highly effective ligation tool for broad biol. applications. With the discovery of a new accelerating ligand for CuAAC, not only are kinetics that are faster than those of the known catalysts achieved, but more importantly, it allows for effective bioconjugation with suppressed cell cytotoxicity by further lowering CuI loading in the catalyst formulation. Although CuAAC requires multiple reagents to promote the reaction, which is more complicated compared to the copper-free click chem. where only one single reagent is used, the reaction conditions optimized here are the most effective in four biol. settings, i.e., labeling of recombinant glycoproteins, glycoproteins in crude cell lysates and on live cell surfaces, and in the enveloping layer of zebrafish embryos. An addnl. advantage of the bio-benign CuAAC is that it liberates the bioconjugation from the limitation where ligations could only be accomplished with azide-tagged biomols. Terminal alkyne residues can now also be incorporated into biomols. and detected in vivo. Overall, the reported ligand-accelerated CuAAC represents a powerful and highly adaptive bioconjugation tool for biologists, which holds great promise for further improvement with the discovery of more versatile catalyst systems.(b) Kennedy, D.

(American Chemical Society)Copper toxicity is a crit. issue in the development of copper-based catalysts for copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddn. (CuAAC) reactions for applications in living systems. The effects and related toxicity of copper on mammalian cells are dependent on the ligand environment. Copper complexes can be highly toxic, can induce changes in cellular metab., and can be rapidly taken up by cells, all of which can affect their ability to function as catalysts for CuAAC in living systems. Herein, the authors have evaluated the effects of a no. of copper complexes that are typically used to catalyze CuAAC reactions on four human cell lines by measuring mitochondrial activity based on the metab. of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) to study toxicity, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to study cellular uptake, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy to study effects on lipid metab. The authors find that ligand environment around copper influences all three parameters. Interestingly, for the Cu(II)-bis-L-histidine complex (Cu(his)2), cellular uptake and metabolic changes are obsd. with no toxicity after 72 h at micromolar concns. Furthermore, the authors show that under conditions where other copper complexes kill human hepatoma cells, Cu(I)-L-histidine is an effective catalyst for CuAAC labeling of live cells following metabolic incorporation of an alkyne-labeled sugar (Ac4ManNAl) into glycosylated proteins expressed on the cell surface. This result suggests that Cu(his)2 or derivs. thereof have potential for in vivo applications where toxicity as well as catalytic activity are crit. factors for successful bioconjugation reactions.(c) Hong, V.; Presolski, S.

(CuAAC) has been optimized for use with biol. mols. The key development is the addn. of two reagents that allow ascorbate to be used as reducing agent while eliminating problems caused by copper ascorbate side reactions. The result is a robust, rapid, and convenient procedure for the modification of proteins, DNA, RNA, and other biomols. Sodium ascorbate is the preferred reducing agent for most applications, due to its convenience and effectiveness at generating the catalytically active Cu1 oxidn. state. Cu concns. should generally be between 50 and 100 μM. A fluorogenic or colorimetric assay, such as that enabled by a coumarin deriv. is strongly recommended for optimization of specific cases. At least five equiv. of THPTA (other water-sol. variants) relative to Cu should be employed. Aminoguanidine is a useful additive to intercept byproducts of ascorbate oxidn. that can covalently modify or crosslink proteins. Compatible buffers include phosphate, carbonate, or HEPES in the pH 6.5-8.0 range. Tris buffer should be avoided as it is a competitive and inhibitory ligand for Cu; sodium chloride (as in phosphate-buffered saline) up to 0.5 M can be used. Ascorbate should not be added to copper-contg. solns. in the absence of the ligand. As a matter of routine, the authors first mix CuSO4 with the ligand, add this mixt. to a soln. of the azide and alkyne substrates, and then initiate the CuAAC reaction by the addn. of sodium ascorbate to the desired concn. The Cu-THPTA catalyst in water is inhibited by excess alkyne, and so the procedure described here is useful for alkyne concns. less than approx. 5 mM. - 160Kolodych, S.; Rasolofonjatovo, E.; Chaumontet, M.; Nevers, M.-C.; Créminon, C.; Taran, F.

(American Chemical Society)Here, 1,5-disubstituted[1,2,3]triazoles were assessed as cis-peptide bond surrogates. Ruthenium-catalyzed Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddn. reaction of amino alkynes and azido acids was used to synthesize a variety of Xaa-1,5-triazole-Ala modules (Xaa = Asn, Ala) in moderate-to-high yields. Two of these modules, along with their 1,4-triazole regioisomers, were installed in a turn region of bovine pancreatic RNase (RNase A; 124 residues) by using expressed protein ligation. The resulting semisynthetic enzymes displayed full enzymic activity, indicating the maintenance of native structure. The 1,5-triazole surrogates instilled conformational stability that was comparable to that of Xaa-cis-Pro segments, whereas the 1,4-triazoles conferred markedly less stability. The stability conferred by both surrogates was independent of the Xaa residue, eliminating an uncertainty in protein design. The authors conclude that Xaa-1,5-triazole-Ala modules can serve as viable mimics of Xaa-cis-Pro segments. The possibility of synthesizing this surrogate by the ligation of fragments in situ and the emergence of biocompatible catalysts for that process portends its widespread use. - 162Li, J.; Chen, P. R.

(American Chemical Society)Fast and specific bioorthogonal reactions are highly desirable because they provide efficient tracking of biomols. that are present in low abundance and/or involved in fast dynamic process in living systems. Toward this end, classic strategy involves the optimization of substrate structures and reaction conditions in test tubes, testing their compatibility with biol. systems, devising synthetic biol. schemes to introduce the modified substrates into living cells or organisms, and finally validating the superior kinetics for enhanced capacity in tracking biomols. in vivo, a lengthy process often mired by unexpected results. Here, the authors report a streamlined approach in which the "microenvironment" of a bioorthogonal chem. reporter is exploited directly in biol. systems via phage-assisted interrogation of reactivity (PAIR) to optimize not only reaction kinetics but also specificity. Using the PAIR strategy, the authors identified a short alkyne-contg. peptide sequence showing fast kinetics (k2 = 13,000 ± 2000 M-1s-1) in a palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction. Site-directed mutagenesis studies suggested that the residues surrounding the alkyne moiety facilitate the assembly of a key palladium-alkyne intermediate along the reaction pathway. When this peptide sequence was inserted into the extracellular domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), this reactive sequence directed the specific labeling of EGFR in live mammalian cells. - 165Hauke, S.; Best, M.; Schmidt, T.

(American Chemical Society)Labeling proteins in their natural settings with fluorescent proteins or protein tags often leads to problems. Despite the high specificity, these methods influence the natural functions due to the rather large size of the proteins used. Here the authors present a two-step labeling procedure for the attachment of various fluorescent probes to a small peptide sequence (13 amino acids) using enzyme-mediated peptide labeling in combination with palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling. The authors identified p-iodophenyl derivs. from a small library that can be covalently attached to a lysine residue within a specific 13-amino-acid peptide sequence by Escherichia coli lipoic acid ligase A (LplA). The derivatization with p-iodophenyl subsequently served as a reactive handle for bioorthogonal transition metal-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling with alkyne-functionalized fluorophores on both the peptide as well as on the protein level. The authors' two-step labeling strategy combines high selectivity of enzyme-mediated labeling with the chemoselectivity of palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling. - 166Li, N.; Ramil, C.

However, expanding palladium chem. for conjugation of biomols. such as proteins, particularly within their native cellular context, is still in its infancy. Here the authors report the site-specific protein labeling inside pathogenic Gram-neg. bacterial cells via a ligand-free palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction. Two rationally designed pyrrolysine analogs bearing an aliph. alkyne or an iodophenyl handle were first encoded in different enteric bacteria, which offered two facial handles for palladium-mediated Sonogashira coupling reaction on proteins within these pathogens. A GFP-based bioorthogonal reaction screening system was then developed, allowing evaluation of both the efficiency and the biocompatibility of various palladium reagents in promoting protein-small mol. conjugation. The identified simple compd. Pd(NO3)2 exhibited high efficiency and biocompatibility for site-specific labeling of proteins in vitro and inside living E. coli cells. This Pd-mediated protein coupling method was further used to label and visualize a Type-III Secretion (T3S) toxin-OspF in Shigella cells.

(Nature Publishing Group)Employing small mols. or chem. reagents to modulate the function of an intracellular protein, particularly in a gain-of-function fashion, remains a challenge. In contrast to inhibitor-based loss-of-function approaches, methods based on a gain of function enable specific signalling pathways to be activated inside a cell. Here we report a chem. rescue strategy that uses a palladium-mediated deprotection reaction to activate a protein within living cells. We identify biocompatible and efficient palladium catalysts that cleave the propargyl carbamate group of a protected lysine analog to generate a free lysine. The lysine analog can be genetically and site-specifically incorporated into a protein, which enables control over the reaction site. This deprotection strategy is shown to work with a range of different cell lines and proteins. We further applied this biocompatible protection group/catalyst pair for caging and subsequent release of a crucial lysine residue in a bacterial Type III effector protein within host cells, which reveals details of its virulence mechanism.

(Beilstein-Institut zur Foerderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften)A review. Olefin metathesis has emerged as a powerful tool in org. synthesis. The activating effect of an allylic hydroxy group in metathesis has been known for more than 10 years, and many org. chemists have taken advantage of this pos. influence for efficient synthesis of natural products. Recently, the discovery of the rate enhancement by allyl sulfides in aq. cross-metathesis has allowed the first examples of such a reaction on proteins. This led to a new benchmark in substrate complexity for cross-metathesis and expanded the potential of olefin metathesis for other applications in chem. biol. The enhanced reactivity of allyl sulfide, along with earlier reports of a similar effect by allylic hydroxy groups, suggests that allyl chalcogens generally play an important role in modulating the rate of olefin metathesis. In this review, we discuss the effect of allylic chalcogens in olefin metathesis and highlight its most recent applications in synthetic chem. and protein modifications.

(American Chemical Society)Cross-metathesis (CM) has recently emerged as a viable strategy for protein modification. Here, efficient protein CM has been demonstrated through biomimetic chem. access to Se-allyl selenocysteine (Seac), a metathesis-reactive amino acid substrate, via dehydroalanine. On-protein reaction kinetics reveal a rapid reaction with rate consts. of Seac-mediated-CM comparable or superior to off-protein rates of many current bioconjugations. This use of Se-relayed Seac CM on proteins has now enabled reactions with substrates (allyl GlcNAc, N-allyl acetamide) that were previously not possible for the corresponding sulfur analog. This CM strategy was applied to histone proteins to install a mimic of acetylated lysine (KAc, an epigenetic marker). The resulting synthetic H3 was successfully recognized by antibody that binds natural H3-K9Ac. Moreover, Cope-type selenoxide elimination allowed this putative marker (and function) to be chem. expunged, regenerating an H3 that can be rewritten to complete a chem. enabled "write (CM)-erase (ox)-rewrite (CM)" cycle. - 175Ai, H.-W.; Shen, W.; Brustad, E.; Schultz, P.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)An increasing no. of chem. reactions are being employed for bio-orthogonal ligation of detection labels to protein-bound functional groups. Several of these strategies, however, are limited in their application to pure proteins and are ineffective in complex biol. samples such as cell lysates. Here we present the palladium-catalyzed oxidative Heck reaction as a new and robust bio-orthogonal strategy for linking functionalized arylboronic acids to protein-bound alkenes in high yields and with excellent chemoselectivity even in the presence of complex protein mixts. from living cells. Advantageously, this reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions, whereas most other metal-catalyzed reactions require inert atm.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The authors have used a Mizoroki-Heck reaction for site-specific carbon-carbon bond formation in the Ras protein. This was performed by the following two steps: (1) the His6-fused Ras protein contg. 4-iodo-L-phenylalanine at position 32 (iF32-Ras-His) was prepd. by genetic engineering, and (2) the aryl iodide group on the iF32-Ras-His was coupled with vinylated biotin in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The biotinylation was confirmed by Western blotting and liq. chromatog.-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The regioselectivity of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction was furthermore confirmed by LC-MS/MS anal. However, in addn. to the biotinylated product (bF32-Ras-His), a dehalogenated product (F32-Ras-His) was detected by LC-MS/MS. This dehalogenation resulted from the undesired termination of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction due to steric and electrostatic hindrance around residue 32. The biotinylated Ras showed binding activity for the Ras-binding domain as its downstream target, Raf-1, with no sign of decompn. This study is the first report of an application of organometallic chem. in protein chem.

C.; Davis, Benjamin G.Journal of the American Chemical Society (2009), 131 (45), 16346-16347CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)A phosphine-free palladium catalyst, generated from base, 4,6-dihydroxy-2-aminopyrimidine, and palladium acetate (I), is used as a catalyst for aq. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of iodophenyl- and bromophenyl-contg. amino acids, an iodobenzylated protein, and iodoarenes with aryl boronic acids and an alkenylboronate. I mediates Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions to give hindered, ortho-substituted biaryls but does not react with or decomp. either peptides and proteins. The catalyst mediates Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of brominated and iodinated Boc-tyrosines and S-(4-iodobenzyl)-Boc-glutathione, but does not catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of S-(4-iodobenzyl)-Boc-L-cysteine with phenylboronic acid; free cysteine or glutathione inhibit coupling reactions in the presence of I. A mutant of subtilisin Bacillus lentus (with a cysteine at residue 154 replacing a serine) is iodobenzylated at cysteine 154 and deactivated by benzylsulfonylation of the active site serine at residue 215; the inactivated and iodobenzylated product undergoes couplings with a variety of boronic acids in the presence of I in water in >95% conversions. The Suzuki-Miyaura couplings on the protein substrate are the first on a protein to proceed in useful conversions. Hydrophobic aryl and vinyl groups can be transferred to the protein surface without the aid of an org. solvent since the aryl- and vinylboronic acids used in the coupling are water-sol. as borate salts. The convenience and activity of this catalyst prompts use in both general synthesis and bioconjugation. - 185Spicer, C. D.; Davis, B. G. Chem.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. The collection of chem. techniques that can be used to attach synthetic groups to proteins has expanded substantially in recent years. Each of these approaches allows new protein targets to be addressed, leading to advances in biol. understanding, new protein-drug conjugates, targeted medical imaging agents and hybrid materials with complex functions. The protein modification reactions in current use vary widely in their inherent site selectivity, overall yields and functional group compatibility. Some are more amenable to large-scale bioconjugate prodn., and a no. of techniques can be used to label a single protein in a complex biol. mixt. This review examines the way in which exptl. circumstances influence one's selection of an appropriate protein modification strategy. It also provides a simple decision tree that can narrow down the possibilities in many instances. The review concludes with example studies that examine how this decision process has been applied in different contexts.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. The diversity of distinct covalent forms of proteins (the proteome) greatly exceeds the no. of proteins predicted by DNA coding capacities owing to directed post-translational modifications. Enzymes dedicated to such protein modifications include 500 human protein kinases, 150 protein phosphatases, and 500 proteases. The major types of protein covalent modifications, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, methylation, and ubiquitination, can be classified according to the type of amino acid side-chain modified, the category of the modifying enzyme, and the extent of reversibility. Chem. events such as protein splicing, green fluorescent protein (GFP) maturation, and proteasome autoactivation also represent post-translational modifications. An understanding of the scope and pattern of the many post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells provides insight into the function and dynamics of proteome compns.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. To date, over 100 noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) have been genetically encoded in living cells in order to expand the functional repertoire of the canonical 20 amino acids. More recently, this technol. has been expanded to the field of protein therapeutics, where traditional chem. methods typically result in heterogeneous mixts. of proteins. The site-specific incorporation of ncAAs with orthogonal chem. groups allows unprecedented control over the site of conjugation and the stoichiometry, thus facilitating the rational optimization of the biol. functions and/or pharmacokinetics of biologics. Herein, we discuss the recent contribution of ncAA technol. in enhancing the pharmacol. properties of current protein therapeutics as well as developing novel therapeutic modalities.(b) Pelegri-O’Day, E.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Protein-polymer conjugates are widely used as therapeutics. All Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved protein conjugates are covalently linked to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). These PEGylated drugs have longer half-lives in the bloodstream, leading to less frequent dosing, which is a significant advantage for patients. However, there are some potential drawbacks to PEG that are driving the development of alternatives. Polymers that display enhanced pharmacokinetic properties along with addnl. advantages such as improved stability or degradability will be important to advance the field of protein therapeutics. This perspective presents a summary of protein-PEG conjugates for therapeutic use and alternative technologies in various stages of development as well as suggestions for future directions. Established methods of producing protein-PEG conjugates and new approaches utilizing controlled radical polymn. are also covered.(c) Chari, R. V. J.; Miller, M. L.; Widdison, W. C. Angew. Chem., Int.

Traditional cancer chemotherapy is often accompanied by systemic toxicity to the patient. Monoclonal antibodies against antigens on cancer cells offer an alternative tumor-selective treatment approach. However, most monoclonal antibodies are not sufficiently potent to be therapeutically active on their own. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) use antibodies to deliver a potent cytotoxic compd. selectively to tumor cells, thus improving the therapeutic index of chemotherapeutic agents. The recent approval of two ADCs, brentuximab vedotin and ado-trastuzumab emtansine, for cancer treatment has spurred tremendous research interest in this field. This Review touches upon the early efforts in the field, and describes how the lessons learned from the first-generation ADCs have led to improvements in every aspect of this technol., i.e., the antibody, the cytotoxic compd., and the linker connecting them, leading to the current successes. The design of ADCs currently in clin. development, and results from mechanistic studies and preclin. and clin. evaluation are discussed. Emerging technologies that seek to further advance this exciting area of research are also discussed.(d) Schumacher, D.; Hackenberger, C. P. R. Curr. Opin. Chem.

(Elsevier B.V.)The quest to enlarge the mol. space of functional biomols. has led to the discovery of selective, mild and high-yielding chem. reactions for the modification of peptides and proteins. These conjugation methods have recently become even more advanced with the advent of modern biochem. techniques such as unnatural protein expression or enzymic reactions that allow the site-specific modification of proteins. Within this overview, we will highlight recent examples that describe the site-specific functionalization of proteins. These examples go beyond the straightforward attachment of a given functional moiety to the protein backbone by employing either an innovative linker-design or by novel conjugation chem., where the modification reaction itself is responsible for the (altered) functional behavior of the biomol. The examples covered herein include 'turn-on' probes for cellular imaging with low levels of background fluorescence, branched or cleavable polymer-protein conjugates of high stability within a cellular environment, the installation of natural occurring posttranslational modifications to help understand their role in complex cellular environments and finally the engineering of novel antibody drug conjugates to facilitate target specific drug release. - 6(a) Siman, P.; Brik, A.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Posttranslational modifications of proteins play crucial roles in health and disease by affecting numerous aspects of protein structure, function, stability and sub cellular localization. Yet understanding the effects of these modifications on several of these processes at the mol. level has been hindered by the lack of homogeneously modified proteins obtained via traditional biochem. and mol. biol. approaches. Moreover, the prepn. of such bioconjugates at a workable level is highly demanding. Recent advances in protein chem. applying chem. and semisynthetic approaches are becoming increasingly beneficial to overcome these challenges. These methods allow site-specific modifications of a desired protein and afford the product in large quantities for biochem. and structural analyses. In this review, the authors survey these efforts and their importance in dissecting the role of several posttranslational modifications in various proteins.

This tutorial review outlines the modern ligation methods that enable the efficient total chem. synthesis of enzymes and other protein mols. Key to this success is the chemoselective reaction of unprotected synthetic peptides ('chem. ligation'). Notably, native chem. ligation enables the reaction of two unprotected peptides in aq. soln. at neutral pH to form a single product in near quant. yield. Full-length synthetic polypeptides are folded to form the defined tertiary structure of the target protein mol., which is characterized by mass spectrometry, NMR, and x-ray crystallog., in addn. to biochem. and/or biol. activity.(c) Hackenberger, C.

The investigation of biol. processes by chem. methods, commonly referred to as chem. biol., often requires chem. access to biol. relevant macromols. such as peptides and proteins. Building upon solid-phase peptide synthesis, investigations have focused on the development of chemoselective ligation and modification strategies to link synthetic peptides or other functional units to larger synthetic and biol. relevant macromols. This review summarizes recent developments in the field of chemoselective ligation and modification strategies and illustrates their application, with examples ranging from the total synthesis of proteins to the semisynthesis of naturally modified proteins.

Spatial and temporal control over chem. and biol. processes, both in terms of "tuning" products and providing site-specific control, is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of modern science. For synthetic chemists, the challenge is to discover and develop selective and efficient reactions capable of generating useful mols. in a variety of matrixes. In recent studies, light has been recognized as a valuable method for detg. where, when, and to what extent a process is started or stopped. Accordingly, this Minireview will present the fundamental aspects of light-induced click reactions, highlight the applications of these reactions to diverse fields of study, and discuss the potential for this methodol. to be applied to the study of biomol. systems.(b) Palomo, J.

Click-chem. is an approach based on cycloaddn. reactions which has been successfully used as a chem. approach for complex org. mols. and which has recently starred in a boom in the world of protein chem. The advantage of the use of this technique in protein chem. is based on a very high and efficient chemoselectivity, which usually requires simple or no purifn. and is extremely rate-accelerated in aq. media. Here, the author discusses some of the most recent advances in the application of this reaction in selective enzyme surface modification for the creation of new semisynthetic enzymes (fluorescence labeled enzymes, peptide-enzyme conjugates, glycosylated enzymes), and interestingly, the recent design and creation of "click" enzymes.(c) van Berkel, S.

In 1919 the German chemist Hermann Staudinger was the first to describe the reaction between an azide and a phosphine. It was not until recently, however, that Bertozzi and co-workers recognized the potential of this reaction as a method for bioconjugation and transformed it into the so-called Staudinger ligation. The bio-orthogonal character of both the azide and the phosphine functions resulted in the Staudinger ligation finding numerous applications in various complex biol. systems. For example, the Staudinger ligation has been used to label glycans, lipids, DNA, and proteins. Moreover, the Staudinger ligation has been used as a synthetic method to construct glycopeptides, microarrays, and functional biopolymers. In the emerging field of bio-orthogonal ligation strategies, the Staudinger ligation has set a high std. to which most of the new techniques are often compared. This review summarizes recent developments and new applications of the Staudinger ligation.(d) Lallana, E.; Riguera, R.; Fernandez-Megia, E. Angew. Chem., Int.

(American Chemical Society)A review. The rational design of proteins with desired functional properties by manipulation of their chem. compn. and three-dimensional structure is a challenge that has fascinated researchers in dierent disciplines during the last century. In this context, the ultimate goal of enzyme engineering has been to create novel and highly active enzymes with increased stability, selectivity, and substrate range, able to work in extreme physicochem. and biol. conditions. The coverage of this Review includes aspects concerning neoglycoenzyme synthesis, classification, structural and functional properties, and applications. For this purpose, reports ofoutstanding significance in neoglycoenzyme science will becritically discussed. A detailed description of the syntheticmethods used for prepg. protein glycoconjugates as well asthe properties and applications of these derivs. are beyond the scope of this Review and have been excellently covered in previous papers. Therefore, only the synthetic methods specifically adapted to enzyme artificial glycosylation will be discussed. This Review will highlight the new and/or improved properties showed by the artificial glycoenzymes as well as their most relevant applications. The predicted impact of neoglycoenzymes in new emerging research areas will be also encompassed.(b) Wang, L.-X.; Amin, M. N. Chem.

(Elsevier Ltd.)A review. Glycoproteins are an important class of biomols. involved in a no. of biol. recognition processes. However, natural and recombinant glycoproteins are usually produced as mixts. of glycoforms that differ in the structures of the pendent glycans, which are difficult to sep. in pure glycoforms. As a result, synthetic homogeneous glycopeptides and glycoproteins have become indispensable probes for detailed structural and functional studies. A no. of elegant chem. and biol. strategies have been developed for synthetic construction of tailor-made, full-size glycoproteins to address specific biol. problems. In this review, we highlight recent advances in chem. and chemoenzymic synthesis of homogeneous glycoproteins.

(American Chemical Society)A review. This review is intended to update our previous discussion on the chemoenzymic synthesis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates, with new emphasis placed on enzymic and whole-cell engineering techniques for the prodn. of homogeneous glycoproteins. Glycans, the carbohydrate portion of glycoconjugates, have diverse structures and far-reaching biol. functions that remain to be elucidated. The need to understand glycans and glycoconjugates has motivated an extraordinary amt. of work toward developing synthetic and chemoenzymic methods to produce them in a pure form over the past ten years. While many of these routes have been the subject of focused reviews, this account provides a thorough resource of the chemoenzymic and whole-cell tools that are available for producing glycans and glycoconjugates with defined structures. Because the covered topics are broad, succinct discussions of key concepts are provided in the text along with a few representative examples, while more in-depth consideration of subjects can be gained by consulting the extensive sources to the primary literature provided throughout.(d) Gamblin, D.

The modification of proteins with synthetic probes is a powerful means of elucidating and engineering the functions of proteins both in vitro and in live cells or in vivo. Herein the authors review recent progress in chem.-based protein modification methods and their application in protein engineering, with particular emphasis on the following four strategies: (1) the bioconjugation reactions of amino acids on the surfaces of natural proteins, mainly applied in test-tube settings; (2) the bioorthogonal reactions of proteins with non-natural functional groups; (3) the coupling of recognition and reactive sites using an enzyme or short peptide tag-probe pair for labeling natural amino acids; and (4) ligand-directed labeling chemistries for the selective labeling of endogenous proteins in living systems. Overall, these techniques represent a useful set of tools for application in chem. biol., with the methods 2-4 in particular being applicable to crude (living) habitats. Although still in its infancy, the use of org. chem. for the manipulation of endogenous proteins, with subsequent applications in living systems, represents a worthy challenge for many chemists.(f) Debets, M.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. The use of covalent chem. to track biomols. in their native environment-a focus of bioorthogonal chem.-has received considerable interest recently among chem. biologists and org. chemists alike. To facilitate wider adoption of bioorthogonal chem. in biomedical research, a central effort in the last few years has been focused on the optimization of a few known bioorthogonal reactions, particularly with respect to reaction kinetics improvement, novel genetic encoding systems, and fluorogenic reactions for bioimaging. During these optimizations, three strategies have emerged, including the use of ring strain for substrate activation in the cycloaddn. reactions, the discovery of new ligands and privileged substrates for accelerated metal-catalyzed reactions, and the design of substrates with pre-fluorophore structures for rapid "turn-on" fluorescence after selective bioorthogonal reactions. In addn., new bioorthogonal reactions based on either modified or completely unprecedented reactant pairs have been reported. Finally, increasing attention has been directed toward the development of mutually exclusive bioorthogonal reactions and their applications in multiple labeling of a biomol. in cell culture. In this feature article, the authors wish to present the recent progress in bioorthogonal reactions through the selected examples that highlight the above-mentioned strategies.

Technologies developed in the last few years for the selective modification of biol. species in living systems have yielded new insights into cellular processes. Key to these new techniques are bioorthogonal chem. reactions, whose components must react rapidly and selectively with each other under physiol. conditions in the presence of the plethora of functionality necessary to sustain life. Herein the authors describe the bioorthogonal chem. reactions developed to date and how they can be used to study biomols.(i) Shih, H.-W.; Kamber, D. N.; Prescher, J. A. Curr. Opin. Chem.

The selective chem. modification of biol. mols. drives a good portion of modern drug development and fundamental biol. research. While a few early examples of reactions that engage amine and thiol groups on proteins helped establish the value of such processes, the development of reactions that avoid most biol. mols. so as to achieve selectivity in desired bond-forming events has revolutionized the field. We provide an update on recent developments in bioorthogonal chem. that highlights key advances in reaction rates, biocompatibility, and applications.

Chem. modification of proteins is a rapidly expanding area in chem. biol. Selective installation of biochem. probes has led to a better understanding of natural protein modification and macromol. function. In other cases such chem. alterations have changed the protein function entirely. Addnl., tethering therapeutic cargo to proteins has proven invaluable in campaigns against disease. For controlled, selective access to such modified proteins, a unique chem. handle is required. Cysteine, with its unique reactivity, has long been used for such modifications. Cysteine has enjoyed wide-spread use in selective protein modification, yet new applications and even new reactions continue to emerge.

(American Chemical Society)Ubiquitination is one of the most ubiquitous posttranslational modifications in eukaryotes and is involved in various cellular events such as proteasomal degrdn. and DNA repair. The overwhelming majority of studies aiming to understand ubiquitination and deubiquitination have employed unanchored ubiquitin chains and mono-ubiquitinated proteins. To shed light on these processes at the mol. level, it is crucial to have facile access to ubiquitin chains linked to protein substrates. Such conjugates are highly difficult to prep. homogenously and in workable quantities using the enzymic machinery. To address this formidable challenge we developed new chem. approaches to covalently attach ubiquitin chains to a protein substrate through its Cys residue. A key aspect of this approach is the installation of acyl hydrazide functionality at the C-terminus of the proximal Ub, which allows, after ubiquitin chain assembly, the introduction of various reactive electrophiles for protein conjugation. Employing α-globin as a model substrate, we demonstrate the facile conjugation to K48-linked ubiquitin chains, bearing up to four ubiquitins, through disulfide and thioether linkages. These bioconjugates were examd. for their behavior with the USP2 enzyme, which was found to cleave the ubiquitin chain in a similar manner to unanchored ones. Furthermore, proteasomal degrdn. study showed that di-ubiquitinated α-globin is rapidly degraded in contrast to the mono-ubiquitinated counterpart, highlighting the importance of the chain lengths on proteasomal degrdn. The present work opens unprecedented opportunities in studying the ubiquitin signal by enabling access to site-specifically polyubiquitinated proteins with an increased size and complexity. - 15(a) Massa, S.; Xavier, C.; De Vos, J.; Caveliers, V.; Lahoutte, T.; Muyldermans, S.; Devoogdt, N.

(American Chemical Society)Site-specific labeling of mol. imaging probes allows the development of a homogeneous tracer population. The resulting batch-to-batch reproducible pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties are of great importance for clin. translation. Camelid single-domain antibody-fragments (sdAbs)-the recombinantly produced antigen-binding domains of heavy-chain antibodies, also called Nanobodies-are proficient probes for mol. imaging. To safeguard their intrinsically high binding specificity and affinity and to ensure the tracer's homogeneity, we developed a generic strategy for the site-specific labeling of sdAbs via a thio-ether bond. The unpaired cysteine was introduced at the carboxyl-terminal end of the sdAb to eliminate the risk of antigen binding interference. The spontaneous dimerization and capping of the unpaired cysteine required a redn. step prior to conjugation. This was optimized with the mild reducing agent 2-mercaptoethylamine in order to preserve the domain's stability. As a proof-of-concept the reduced probe was subsequently conjugated to maleimide-DTPA, for labeling with indium-111. A single conjugated tracer was obtained and confirmed via mass spectrometry. The specificity and affinity of the new sdAb-based imaging probe was validated in a mouse xenograft tumor model using a modified clin. lead compd. targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) cancer biomarker. These data provide a versatile and standardized strategy for the site-specific labeling of sdAbs. The conjugation to the unpaired cysteine results in the prodn. of a homogeneous group of tracers and is a multimodal alternative to the technetium-99m labeling of sdAbs.(b) Morales-Sanfrutos, J.; Lopez-Jaramillo, J.; Ortega-Munoz, M.; Megia-Fernandez, A.; Perez-Balderas, F.; Hernandez-Mateo, F.; Santoyo-Gonzalez, F.

The authors report herein the synthesis of vinyl sulfone derivatized bifunctional tag single-attachment-point reagents (BTSAP) bearing biotin and a fluorescent tag and their applications in proteins for the introduction of multiple labels by the Michael-type addn. of the electrophilic vinyl sulfone group. These BTSAP reagents were easily synthesized by a two-step chem. strategy involving the prepn. of alkyne vinyl sulfone derivatized tags (AVST) and subsequent click CuAAC attachment of a second azide functionalized tag. The direct coupling of BTSAP reagents with the low reactive protein horseradish peroxidase (HRP) turned it into a dual reporter group (i.e., fluorescence and peroxidase activity) that may be coupled to any recognition system via biotin-avidin affinity. The AVST compds. are not mere synthetic intermediates for the prepn. of BTSAP reagents but valuable clickable self-reporting compds. that allow the simultaneous introduction in proteins of an alkyne function and labeling when conjugated via the vinyl sulfone group. The implementation of these clickable AVST compds. in a CuAAC-based sequential approach also allows attainment of the dual labeling of HRP. This approach yields equiv. results in terms of fluorescent labeling, specific activity, and functionality of the biotin tag when compared with the direct bifunctional labeling by the BTSAP reagent. However, for life science this direct approach is more convenient since it avoids the use of copper catalysis, overcoming the toxicity drawback of this metal in biol. systems. - 16Cal, P. M. S.

Consecutive coupling of two amines allows the synthesis of asym. squaric acid bisamides with either low mol. wt. compds. but also biomols. or polymers. The key feature of the squaric acid diester mediated coupling is the reduced reactivity of the resulting ester-amide after the first amidation step of the diester.

Current HSA conjugation strategies, however, can often yield heterogeneous mixts. with inadequate pharmacokinetics, low efficacies, and variable safety profiles. Here, we designed and synthesized analogs of TAK-242, a small mol. inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4, that primarily reacted with a single lysine residue of HSA. These TAK-242-based cyclohexene compds. demonstrated robust reactivity, and Lys64 was identified as the primary conjugation site. A bivalent HSA conjugate was also prepd. in a site-specific manner. Addnl., HSA-cyclohexene conjugates maintained higher levels of stability both in human plasma and in mice than the corresponding maleimide conjugates. This new conjugation strategy promises to broadly enhance the performance of HSA conjugates for numerous applications.

We hypothesized that: 1) a modular design that decouples the carrier function from the targeting function leads to a flexible system, 2) combining the reactivity of the vinyl sulfone group toward biomols. that act as targeting agents with the ability of cyclodextrin to form complexes with a wide range of drugs may yield a versatile system that allows the targeting of different organs with different drugs, and 3) the higher reactivity of histidine residues toward the vinyl sulfone group can be exploited to couple the cyclodextrin to the targeting system with a degree of regioselectivity. As a proof of concept, we synthesized a monovinyl sulfone β-cyclodextrin (module responsible for the payload), which, after coupling to recombinant antibody fragments raised against Trypanosoma brucei (module responsible for targeting) and loading with nitrofurazone (module responsible for therapeutic action) resulted in an effective delivery system that targets the surface of the parasites and shows trypanocidal activity.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. Enzymes are able to perform a multitude of chem. and biochem. transformations with efficiencies that are typically unrivaled by chem. catalysts. However, these evolved systems may lack breadth or utility in other non-natural applications. Altering enzyme and protein scaffolds through covalent modification can expand the usefulness of native biocatalysts not only for synthetic applications but also for therapeutic use. This review summarizes recent developments in the field of chem. modification of enzymes and how they can be applied to synthesis and biol. research.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A diazo compd. is shown to convert carboxylic acids to esters efficiently in an aq. environment. The basicity of the diazo compd. is crit.: low basicity does not lead to a reaction but high basicity leads to hydrolysis. This reactivity extends to carboxylic acid groups in a protein. The ensuing esters are hydrolyzed by human cellular esterases to regenerate protein carboxyl groups. This new mode of chem. modification could enable the key advantages of prodrugs to be translated from small-mols. to proteins.

(National Academy of Sciences)Targeted drug delivery to selected sites allows reduced toxicity, enhanced efficiency and interchangeable target potential. We describe a bipartite drug-delivery system that exploits (i) endogenous carbohydrate-to-lectin binding to localize glycosylated enzyme conjugates to specific, predetd. cell types followed by (ii) administration of a prodrug activated by that predelivered enzyme at the desired site. The carbohydrate structure of an α-L-rhamnopyranosidase enzyme was specifically engineered through enzymic deglycosylation and chem. reglycosylation. Combined in vivo and in vitro techniques (gamma scintigraphy, microautoradiog. and confocal microscopy) detd. organ and cellular localization and demonstrated successful activation of α-L-rhamnopyranoside prodrug. Ligand competition expts. revealed enhanced, specific localization by endocytosis and a strongly carbohydrate-dependent, 60-fold increase in selectivity toward target cell hepatocytes that generated a >30-fold increase (from 0.02 to 0.66 mg) in protein delivered. Furthermore, glycosylation engineering enhanced the serum-uptake rate and enzyme stability. This created enzyme activity (0.2 units in hepatocytes) for prodrug therapy, the target of which was switched simply by sugar-type alteration. The therapeutic effectiveness of lectin-directed enzyme-activated prodrug therapy was shown through the construction of the prodrug of doxorubicin, Rha-DOX, and its application to reduce tumor burden in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) disease model.

In order to study the influence of structure of the glycans on the conjugation outcomes, an accurate characterization of the prepd. neoglycoproteins was performed by a combination of ESI-MS and LC-MS anal. methods. The analyses of the chymotryptic digests of the all neoglycoconjugates revealed six Lys-glycosylation sites with a the following order of lysine reactivity: Lys 1 » Lys 91 ≃ Lys 31 > Lys 61 ≃ Lys 66. A computational anal. of the reactivity of each lysine residue has been also carried out considering several parameters (amino acids surface exposure and pKa, protein flexibility). The in silico evaluation seems to confirm the order in lysine reactivity resulting from proteomic anal.

Modification of a library of unprotected peptides XSKFR (X varies over 20 natural amino acids) by an alkyne-functionalized ketene (I) at room temp. at pH 6.3 resulted in excellent N-terminal selectivity (modified α-amino group/modified ε-amino group = >99:1) for 13 out of the 20 peptides and moderate-to-high N-terminal selectivity (4:1 to 48:1) for 6 of the 7 remaining peptides.

(American Chemical Society)Methods for synthetically manipulating protein structure enable greater flexibility in the study of protein function. Previous characterization of the Escherichia coli aminoacyl tRNA transferase (AaT) has shown that it can modify the N-terminus of a protein with an amino acid from a tRNA or a synthetic oligonucleotide donor. Here, it is demonstrated that AaT can efficiently use a minimal adenosine substrate, which can be synthesized in one to two steps from readily available starting materials. The enzymic activity of AaT was characterized with aminoacyl adenosyl donors and it was found that reaction products do not inhibit AaT. The use of adenosyl donors removes the substrate limitations imposed by the use of synthetases for tRNA charging and avoids the complex synthesis of an oligonucleotide donor. Thus, these AaT donors increase the potential substrate scope and reaction scale for N-terminal protein modification under conditions that maintain folding. - 35(a) Schlick, T.

To expand the range of applications for which the capsid can be used, two synthetic strategies have been developed for the attachment of new functionality to either the exterior or the interior surface of the virus. The first of these is accomplished using a highly efficient diazonium coupling/oxime formation sequence, which installs >2000 copies of a material component on the capsid exterior. Alternatively, the inner cavity of the tube can be modified by attaching amines to glutamic acid side chains through a carbodiimide coupling reaction. Both of these reactions have been demonstrated for a series of substrates, including biotin, chromophores, and crown ethers. Through the attachment of PEG polymers to the capsid exterior, org.-sol.

(American Chemical Society)Recent efforts have yielded a no. of short peptide sequences with useful binding, sensing, and cellular uptake properties. To attach these sequences to tyrosine residues on intact proteins, a three-component Mannich-type strategy is reported. Two solid phase synthetic routes were developed to access peptides up to 20 residues in length with anilines at either the N- or C-termini. In the presence of 20 mM formaldehyde, these functional groups were coupled to tyrosine residues on proteins under mild reaction conditions. The identities of the resulting bioconjugates were confirmed using mass spectrometry and immunoblot anal. Screening expts. have demonstrated that the method is compatible with substrates contg. all of the amino acids, including lysine and cysteine residues. Importantly, tyrosine residues on proteins exhibit much faster reaction rates, allowing short peptides contg. this residue to be coupled without cross reactions.(d) Joshi, N. S.; Whitaker, L.

The reaction takes place under mild pH and temp. conditions and can modify protein substrates at concns. as low as 20 μM. Using an efficient fluorescence-based assay, we demonstrated the reaction using a no. of aldehydes and protein targets. Importantly, proteins lacking surface-accessible tyrosines remained unmodified.

(American Chemical Society)Site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) combined with EPR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful approach to study structure and dynamics in proteins. One limitation of this approach is the fact that classical spin labels are functionalized to be grafted on natural or site-directed mutagenesis generated cysteine residues. Despite the widespread success of cysteine-based modification strategies, the technique becomes unsuitable when cysteine residues play a functional or structural role in the protein under study. To overcome this limitation, the authors propose an isoindoline-based nitroxide to selectively target tyrosine residues using a Mannich type reaction, the feasibility of which has been demonstrated in a previous study. This nitroxide has been synthesized and successfully grafted successively on p-cresol, a small tetrapeptide and a model protein: a small chloroplastic protein CP12 having functional cysteines and a single tyrosine. Studying the assocn. of the labeled CP12 with its partner protein, the isoindoline-based nitroxide is a good reporter to reveal changes in its local environment contrary to the previous study where the label was poorly sensitive to probe structural changes. The successful targeting of tyrosine residues with the isoindoline-based nitroxide thus offers a highly promising approach, complementary to the classical cysteine-SDSL one, which significantly enlarges the field of applications of the technique for probing protein dynamics. - 41Guo, H.-M.; Minakawa, M.; Ueno, L.; Tanaka, F.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The elucidation of the mol. details underlying the immune properties of glycoconjugate vaccines has largely focused on the carbohydrate moiety, while very little is known on the effect of the corresponding conjugation sites. Herein we constructed a set of β-(1 → 3) glucan oligosaccharide conjugates with a well-defined glycan structure, connected to patterns of predetd. tyrosine or lysine residues onto the CRM197 carrier protein. To evaluate the effect of multivalent architecture in the glycan presentation, a novel linker enabling tyrosine-directed ligation of couples of oligosaccharides was prepd. The potential of these constructs as anti-Candida vaccines was evaluated in vivo, using as controls glycoconjugates prepd. by a conventional random coupling strategy, and the structure-immune properties relationship was established. We found that: (i) the tyrosine-directed ligation resulted in higher anti-glycan IgG levels in comparison to the conjugation at predetd. lysine residues; (ii) the presentation of the carbohydrate antigen with a biantennary cluster of glycans onto specific tyrosine residues did not further increase the anti-glycan antibody level; (iii) the sera deriving from immunization with defined conjugates at tyrosine and, particularly at lysine residues, were proven stronger inhibitors of fungal adhesion to human epithelial cells in comparison to those from conjugates prepd. by classic random chem.; (iv) the presence of antibodies directed to the linkers did not affect the anti-glycan immune response. These findings suggest that a careful choice of the defined sites of conjugation and the loading d. of antigens are important factors to raise high-quality anti-carbohydrate antibodies.(c) Nilo, A.; Allan, M.; Brogioni, B.; Proietti, D.; Cattaneo, V.; Crotti, S.; Sokup, S.; Zhai, H.; Margarit, I.; Berti, F.; Hu, Q.-Y.; Adamo, R.

Conjugation of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) capsular polysaccharides to streptococcal pilus protein could extend the vaccine coverage to a variety of strains. Application of the authors' protocol to these large charged polysaccharides occurred at low yields.

Most importantly, this strategy is more effective than the corresponding copper catalyzed reaction for the insertion of GBS onto the tyrosine residues of GBS pilus proteins, previously selected as vaccine antigens through the so-called reverse vaccinol. Integrity of protein epitopes in the modified proteins was ascertained by competitive ELISA, and conjugation of polysaccharide to protein was confirmed by SDS page electrophoresis and immunoblot assays. The amt. of conjugated polysaccharide was estd. by high-performance anion-exchange chromatog. coupled with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD).

L.; Davis, Benjamin G.Accounts of Chemical Research (2011), 44 (9), 730-741CODEN: ACHRE4; ISSN:0001-4842. (American Chemical Society)A review. Covalent modification can expand a protein's functional capacity. Fluorescent or radioactive labeling, for instance, allows imaging of a protein in real time. Labeling with an affinity probe enables isolation of target proteins and other interacting mols. At the other end of this functional spectrum, protein structures can be naturally altered by enzymic action. Protein-protein interactions, genetic regulation, and a range of cellular processes are under the purview of these post-translational modifications. The ability of protein chemists to install these covalent addns. selectively has been crit. for elucidating their roles in biol. Frequently the transformations must be applied in a site-specific manner, which demands the most selective chem. In this Account, we discuss the development and application of such chem. in our lab. A centerpiece of our strategy is a "tag-and-modify" approach, which entails sequential installation of a uniquely reactive chem. group into the protein (the "tag") and the selective or specific modification of this group. The chem. tag can be a natural or unnatural amino acid residue. Of the natural residues, cysteine is the most widely used as a tag. Early work in our program focused on selective disulfide formation in the synthesis of glycoproteins. For certain applications, the susceptibility of disulfides to redn. was a limitation and prompted the development of several methods for the synthesis of more stable thioether modifications. The desulfurization of disulfides and conjugate addn. to dehydroalanine are two routes to these modifications. The dehydroalanine tag has since proven useful as a general precursor to many modifications after conjugate addn. of various nucleophiles; phosphorylated, glycosylated, peptidylated, prenylated, and even mimics of methylated and acetylated lysine-contg. proteins are all accessible from dehydroalanine. While cysteine is a useful tag for selective modification, unnatural residues present the opportunity for bio-orthogonal chem. Azide-, arylhalide-, alkyne-, and alkene-contg. amino acids can be incorporated into proteins genetically and can be specifically modified through various transformations. These transformations often rely on metal catalysis. The Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne addn., Ru-catalyzed olefin metathesis, and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling are examples of such transformations. In the course of adapting these reactions to protein modification, we learned much about the behavior of these reactions in water, and in some cases entirely new catalysts were developed. Through a combination of these bio-orthogonal transformations from the panel of tag-and-modify reactions, multiple and distinct modifications can be installed on protein surfaces. Multiple modifications are common in natural systems, and synthetic access to these proteins has enabled study of their biol. role. Throughout these investigations, much has been learned in chem. and biol. The demands of selective protein modification have revealed many aspects of reaction mechanisms, which in turn have guided the design of reagents and catalysts that allow their successful deployment in water and in biol. milieu. With this ability to modify proteins, it is now possible to interrogate biol. systems with precision that was not previously possible. - 46Boutureira, O.; Bernardes, G. J.

(American Chemical Society)A new PEGylation reagent enabling selective modification of free thiol groups is described in this article. The reagent was synthesized by attaching linear polyethylene glycol (PEG) N-hydroxysuccinimide to selenocystamine. The reaction was very fast, resulting in over 95% conversion yield. The active group of this new PEG-Se reagent is a diselenide, reacting with thiols via thiol/diselenide exchange reaction. Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) with an unpaired cysteine at the position 18 (Cys18) was used as a model protein. It was comparatively PEGylated with the new PEG-Se reagent, as well as with com. available maleimide (PEG-Mal) and ortho-pyridyl disulfide (PEG-OPSS) PEG reagents. The highest PEGylation yield was obtained with PEG-Mal, followed by PEG-OPSS and PEG-Se. The reaction rates of PEG-Mal and PEG-Se were comparable, while the reaction rate of PEG-OPSS was lower. Purified monoPEGylated rhG-CSF conjugates were characterized and compared.

Their aglycon flexibility allows a straightforward iterative assembly of complex carbohydrates contg. protective group freedom. Furthermore, the glycosyl disulfides advantageously deliver the thiol products suitable for site-specific protein ligation. Finally, since the use of pure, well-defined glycoproteins as potential immunogens is rare, this ability will allow insight into the effect of epitope positioning and immune response.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)We have shown that Dha (dehydroalanine) is readily installed in histones by the reaction of the dibromide reagent 1 (a,a'-di-bromo-adipyl(bis)amide) with genetically incorporated Cys residues. Dha, in turn, is a chem. precursor to mimics of six distinct PTMs (post-translational modifications): mono-, di-, and trimethylated lysine, acetylated lysine, phosphorylated serine, and glycosylated serine. Through their combined use, we have shown ready switching of site and PTM type. The same modification could also be installed at multiple sites on a multi-milligram scale. To illustrate the potential of this technol., the first validation of phosphocysteine as a mimic of phosphoserine in any protein was described, the first access to a glycosylated histone was enabled, and the first direct observation of HDAC activity on an acetylated lysine mimic was reported for a full-length histone. The demonstrated interaction of our synthetic modified histones with both readers and writer/erasers shown here is a key step. Currently, we are exploring the use of the modified histones reported here as substrates for other chromatin-modifying enzymes.

(Nature Publishing Group)Antibody-drug conjugates enhance the antitumor effects of antibodies and reduce adverse systemic effects of potent cytotoxic drugs. However, conventional drug conjugation strategies yield heterogeneous conjugates with relatively narrow therapeutic index (max. tolerated dose/curative dose). Using leads from the authors' previously described phage display-based method to predict suitable conjugation sites, the authors engineered cysteine substitutions at positions on light and heavy chains that provide reactive thiol groups and do not perturb Ig folding and assembly, or alter antigen binding. When conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E, an antibody against the ovarian cancer antigen MUC16 is as efficacious as a conventional conjugate in mouse xenograft models. Moreover, it is tolerated at higher doses in rats and cynomolgus monkeys than the same conjugate prepd. by conventional approaches. The favorable in vivo properties of the near-homogeneous compn. of this conjugate suggest that this strategy offers a general approach to retaining the antitumor efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates, while minimizing their systemic toxicity.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated considerable utility in the clin. treatment of cancer, but unmodified Igs are rarely curative, esp. when used as single agents. Thus, there is considerable interest in arming antibodies with bioactive payloads (e.g., drugs, radionuclides, cytokines), to improve their potency and selectivity, thus increasing activity at the tumor site while sparing normal tissues. However, monoclonal antibodies specific to tumor cell antigens often exhibit limited diffusion into the solid tumor mass by several mechanisms, including slow extravasation and antibody trapping by perivascular tumor cells (the so-called antigen barrier). In view of the fact that the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is a rare process in a healthy adult but a characteristic feature of virtually all types of aggressive cancers, it would be reasonable to develop vascular-targeting antibody-dug conjugates (ADCs). In conclusion, a novel approach for the delivery of cytotoxic drugs using ADCs has been developed. Current ADCs target tumor cell surface markers and rely on the DC being internalized in the cells for drug delivery. Instead, our approach relies on targeting the tumor neo-vasculature offering comprehensive tumoral coverage.(c) Perrino, E.; Steiner, M.; Krall, N.; Bernardes, G. J.

(American Association for Cancer Research)It is generally thought that the anticancer efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) relies on their internalization by cancer cells. However, recent work on an ADC that targets fibronectin in the tumor microenvironment suggests this may not be necessary. The alternatively spliced extra domains A and B (EDA and EDB) of fibronectin offer appealing targets for ADC development, because the antigen is strongly expressed in many solid human tumors and nearly undetectable in normal tissues except for the female reproductive system. In this study, we describe the properties of a set of ADCs based on an antibody targeting the alternatively spliced EDA of fibronectin coupled to one of a set of potent cytotoxic drugs (DM1 or one of two duocarmycin derivs.). The DM1 conjugate SIP(F8)-SS-DM1 mediated potent antitumor activity in mice bearing DMl-sensitive F9 tumors but not DMl-insensitive CT26 tumors. Quant. biodistribution studies and microscopic analyses confirmed a preferential accumulation of SIP(F8)-SS-DM1 in the subendothelial extracellular matrix of tumors, similar to the pattern obsd. for unmodified antibody. Notably, we found that treatments were well tolerated at efficacious doses that were fully curative and compatible with pharmaceutical development. Our findings offer a preclin. proof-of-concept for curative ADC targeting the tumor microenvironment that do not rely upon antigen internalization.(d) Bernardes, G. J.

In this protocol, we describe two strategies for the precise modification at engineered C- or N-terminal cysteines of antibodies in IgG, diabody and small immunoprotein (SIP) formats that yield homogenous ADCs. In this protocol, cemadotin derivs. are used as model drugs, as these agents have a potent cytotoxic activity and are easy to synthesize. However, other drugs with similar functional groups could be considered. In the first approach, a cemadotin deriv. contg. a sulfhydryl group results in a mixed disulfide linkage. In the second approach, a cemadotin deriv. contg. an aldehyde group is joined via a thiazolidine linkage. The procedures outlined are robust, enabling the prepn. of ADCs with a defined no. of drugs per antibody in a time frame between 7 and 24 h.

(American Chemical Society)The maleimide motif is widely used for the selective chem. modification of cysteine residues in proteins. Despite widespread utilization, there are some potential limitations, including the irreversible nature of the reaction and, hence, the modification and the no. of attachment positions. The authors conceived of a new class of maleimide which would address some of these limitations and provide new opportunities for protein modification. The authors report herein the use of mono- and dibromomaleimides for reversible cysteine modification and illustrate this on the SH2 domain of the Grb2 adaptor protein (L111C). After initial modification of a protein with a bromo- or dibromomaleimide, it is possible to add an equiv. of a second thiol to give further bioconjugation, demonstrating that bromomaleimides offer opportunities for up to three points of attachment. The resultant protein-maleimide products can be cleaved to regenerate the unmodified protein by addn. of a phosphine or a large excess of a thiol. Furthermore, dibromomaleimide can insert into a disulfide bond, forming a maleimide bridge, and this is illustrated on the peptide hormone somatostatin. Fluorescein-labeled dibromomaleimide is synthesized and inserted into the disulfide to construct a fluorescent somatostatin analog. These results highlight the significant potential for this new class of reagents in protein modification. - 60Moody, P.; Smith, M. E. B.; Ryan, C. P.; Chudasama, V.; Baker, J.

(Nature Publishing Group)Many antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are unstable in vivo because they are formed from maleimide-contg. components conjugated to reactive thiols. These thiosuccinimide linkages undergo two competing reactions in plasma: elimination of the maleimide through a retro-Michael reaction, which results in loss of drug-linker from the ADC, and hydrolysis of the thiosuccinimide ring, which results in a deriv. that is resistant to the elimination reaction. In an effort to create linker technologies with improved stability characteristics, we used diaminopropionic acid (DPR) to prep. a drug-linker incorporating a basic amino group adjacent to the maleimide, positioned to provide intramol. catalysis of thiosuccinimide ring hydrolysis. This basic group induces the thiosuccinimide to undergo rapid hydrolysis at neutral pH and room temp. Once hydrolyzed, the drug-linker is no longer subject to maleimide elimination reactions, preventing nonspecific deconjugation. In vivo studies demonstrate that the increased stability characteristics can lead to improved ADC antitumor activity and reduced neutropenia.(b) Tumey, L.

This method offers a simple way to improve the stability, exposure, and efficacy of maleimide-based ADCs.(c) Fontaine, S. D.; Reid, R.; Robinson, L.; Ashley, G. W.; Santi, D. V.

(American Chemical Society)The rates of ring-opening hydrolysis and retro-Michael/Michael addn. (thiol exchange) of N-substituted succinimide thioethers formed by maleimide-thiol conjugation with glutathione and the effects of their maleimide nitrogen substituents on the rates of maleimide hydrolysis and retro-Michael/Michael addn. reactions were detd. Ring-opening of conjugates prepd. with commonly used maleimides were too slow to serve as prevention against thiol exchange; however, the ring-opening rates of maleimides were greatly accelerated by electron withdrawing N-substituents, and the products had half-lives of over two years. The PEGylated antibody Cimzia underwent ring-opening and retro-Michael addns. with rates consistent with model compds. except for the difference in acidity of the internal cysteine thiol of Cimizia's antibody vs. the nearly terminal cysteine thiols of the model compds. Thus, conjugates (particularly antibody-drug conjugates prepd. as drugs) made with maleimides possessing electron-deficient nitrogen substituents can be purposefully hydrolyzed to their ring-opened counterparts in vitro to ensure their in vivo stability to thiol cleavage and exchange reactions. - 63Chudasama, V.; Smith, M.

By introducing charged amino acids in close proximity to a cysteine, the pKa of the thiol was systematically modulated by electrostatic interactions. Pos. charges from the amino acid arginine decreased the pKa of the thiol and accelerated the reaction with acrylates while neg. charges from aspartic acids showed the opposite effect. A linear correlation between thiolate concns. and kinetic consts. was found, confirming the role of thiolates as the reactive species in this Michael-type reaction. The relevant factors influencing the reactivity were the sign and the no. of the neighboring charges, while the position of these charges had little effect on reactivity.

(Nature Publishing Group)The reactive thiol in cysteine is used for coupling maleimide linkers in the generation of antibody conjugates. To assess the impact of the conjugation site, we engineered cysteines into a therapeutic HER2/neu antibody at three sites differing in solvent accessibility and local charge. The highly solvent-accessible site rapidly lost conjugated thiol-reactive linkers in plasma owing to maleimide exchange with reactive thiols in albumin, free cysteine or glutathione. In contrast, a partially accessible site with a pos. charged environment promoted hydrolysis of the succinimide ring in the linker, thereby preventing this exchange reaction. The site with partial solvent-accessibility and neutral charge displayed both properties. In a mouse mammary tumor model, the stability and therapeutic activity of the antibody conjugate were affected pos. by succinimide ring hydrolysis and neg. by maleimide exchange with thiol-reactive constituents in plasma. Thus, the chem. and structural dynamics of the conjugation site can influence antibody conjugate performance by modulating the stability of the antibody-linker interface.

(American Chemical Society)Chem. methods for modifying proteins can enable studies aimed at uncovering biochem. function. Herein, we describe the use of thiol-ene coupling (TEC) chem. to report on the function of branched (also referred to as forked) ubiquitin trimers. We show how site-specific isopeptide (Nε-Gly-l-homothiaLys) bonds are forged between two mols. of Ub, demonstrating the power of TEC in protein conjugation. Moreover, we demonstrate that the Nε-Gly-l-homothiaLys isopeptide bond is processed to a similar extent by deubiquitinases (DUBs) as that of a native Nε-Gly-l-Lys isopeptide bond, thereby establishing the utility of TEC in the generation of Ub-Ub linkages. TEC is then applied to the synthesis of branched Ub trimers. Interrogation of these branched derivs. with DUBs reveals that the relative orientation of the two Ub units has a dramatic impact on how they are hydrolyzed. In particular, cleavage of K48C-linkages is suppressed when the central Ub unit is also conjugated through K6C, whereas cleavage proceeds normally when the central unit is conjugated through either K11C or K63C. The results of this work presage a role for branched polymeric Ub chains in regulating linkage-selective interactions.(b) Li, F.; Allahverdi, A.; Yang, R.; Lua, G. B.

KGaA)A previously unexplored thiol-ene radical addn. reaction involving the com. available N-vinyl acetamide (NVA) is well suited for the S-acetamidoethylation of cysteine residues in synthetic peptides and recombinant proteins. The resultant N-acetyl-thialysine differs from natural acetyllysine only isosterically at the γ position of the amino acid structure and is functionally equiv. or similar to the latter. Although a limitation of the method is that the protein substrates should not contain other cysteines, it nevertheless has many potential applications, such as the histone epigenetic study--an intense research area at present. The reaction system is robust and gives near quant. yields of site-specifically acetylated proteins that can be purified in a simple chromatog. or dialysis step. The ease of implementation of this method also makes it easily adoptable for researchers from the bioscience research community. As such, this radical reaction approach provides a convenient enabling tool for the study of lysine acetylation biol. and will help to advance research in this important field. - 80Conte, M.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Bicyclic peptides generated through directed evolution by using phage display offer an attractive ligand format for the development of therapeutics. Being nearly 100-fold smaller than antibodies, they promise advantages such as access to chem. synthesis, efficient diffusion into tissues, and needle-free application. However, unlike antibodies, they do not have a folded structure in soln. and thus do not bind as well as antibodies. We developed bicyclic peptides with hydrophilic chem. structures at their center to promote noncovalent intramol. interactions, thereby stabilizing the peptide conformation. The sequences of the peptides isolated by phage display from large combinatorial libraries were strongly influenced by the type of small mol. used in the screen, thus suggesting that the peptides fold around the small mols. X-ray structure anal. revealed that the small mols. indeed formed hydrogen bonds with the peptides. These noncovalent interactions stabilize the peptide-protein complexes and contribute to the high binding affinity.(c) Angelini, A.; Diderich, P.; Morales-Sanfrutos, J.; Thurnheer, S.; Hacker, D.; Menin, L.; Heinis, C.

Instead of chem. conjugating the entire bicyclic peptide, we recombinantly expressed its peptide moiety as a fusion protein to an Fc fragment and subsequently cyclized the peptide by chem. reacting its three cysteine residues with tris-(bromomethyl)benzene. This reaction was efficient and selective, yielding completely modified peptide fusion protein and no side products. After optimization of the linker and the Fc fragment format, the bicyclic peptide was fully functional as an inhibitor (Ki = 76 nM) and showed an extended terminal half-life of 1.5 days in mice. The unexpectedly clean reaction makes chem. macrocyclization of peptide-Fc fusion proteins an attractive synthetic approach. Its good compatibility with the Fc fragment may lend the bromomethylbenzene-based chem. also for the generation of antibody-drug conjugates.(d) Angelini, A.; Heinis, C. Curr. Opin. Chem.

Conjugation with tris-(bromomethyl)benzene via the reactive cysteines generated repertoires of peptide conjugates with two peptide loops anchored to a mesitylene core. Iterative affinity selections yielded several enzyme inhibitors; after further mutagenesis and selection, we were able to chem. synthesize a lead inhibitor (PK15; Ki = 1.5 nM) specific to human plasma kallikrein that efficiently interrupted the intrinsic coagulation pathway in human plasma tested ex vivo.

Unfortunately, such ligands exist only for a limited no. of proteins and their development by rational design is not trivial. We have developed an in vitro evolution strategy to generate light-activatable peptide ligands to targets of choice. In brief, random peptides were encoded by phage display, chem. cyclized with an azobenzene linker, exposed to UV light to switch the azobenzene into cis conformation, and panned against the model target streptavidin. Isolated peptides shared strong consensus sequences, indicating target-specific binding. Several peptides bound with high affinity when cyclized with the azobenzene linker, and their affinity could be modulated by UV light. The presented method is robust and can be applied for the in vitro evolution of photoswitchable ligands to virtually any target. - 84(a) Zou, Y.; Spokoyny, A. M.; Zhang, C.; Simon, M.

A complementary reverse strategy was developed; cysteine residues within the polypeptide were first modified with non-bridging perfluoroaryl moieties and then com. available dithiol linkers were used for macrocyclization. The highly convergent, site-independent, and modular nature of these two strategies coupled with the unique chemoselectivity of a SNAr transformation allows for the rapid diversity-oriented synthesis of hybrid macrocyclic peptide libraries with varied chem. and structural complexities.(b) Zhang, C.; Dai, P.; Spokoyny, A.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

This technique offers the benefits of site-specific PEGylation without time-consuming and costly chem. modification and purifn. processes, enabling high-throughput testing of protein drugs in vivo. The general concept used is to PEGylate proteins through a complementary interaction between an oligo-histidine tag (His-tag) and a Ni2+ complex of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), which is now widely used in protein research. For example, protein immobilization techniques and protein labeling with fluorophores use the properties of a His-tag binding to NTA. The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) was chosen as a model protein drug. The general design of reactive Ni-NTA-PEG analogs, and its binding to a His-tag, hexahistidine (H6), and fused protein are illustrated. Using TRAIL as a model protein, we demonstrated that a unique Ni-NTA-PEG analog assocd. with a His-tagged protein is able to provide outstanding physicochem. stability without compromising the bioactivity. Importantly, the Ni-NTA-PEG analog maximized the pharmacol. efficacy of the protein drug in vivo.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Site-specific modification of proteins is a major challenge in modern chem. biol. due to the large no. of reactive functional groups typically present in polypeptides. Because of its importance in biol. and medicine, the development of methods for site-specific modification of proteins is an area of intense research. Selective protein modification procedures have been useful for oriented protein immobilization, for studies of naturally occurring post-translational modifications, for creating antibody-drug conjugates, for the introduction of fluorophores and other small mols. on to proteins, for examg. protein structure, folding, dynamics, and protein-protein interactions, and for the prepn. of protein-polymer conjugates. One of the most important approaches for protein labeling is to incorporate bioorthogonal functionalities into proteins at specific sites via enzymic reactions. The incorporated tags then enable reactions that are chemoselective, whose functional groups not only are inert in biol. media, but also do not occur natively in proteins or other macromols. This review article summarizes the enzymic strategies, which enable site-specific functionalization of proteins with a variety of different functional groups. The enzymes covered in this review include formylglycine generating enzyme, sialyltransferases, phosphopantetheinyltransferases, O-GlcNAc post-translational modification, sortagging, transglutaminase, farnesyltransferase, biotin ligase, lipoic acid ligase, and N-myristoyltransferase.(b) Rashidian, M.; Kumarapperuma, S.

(American Chemical Society)Construction of heterofunctional proteins is a rapidly emerging area of biotherapeutics. Combining a protein with other moieties, such as a targeting element, a toxic protein or small mol., and a fluorophore or polyethylene glycol (PEG) group, can improve the specificity, functionality, potency, and pharmacokinetic profile of a protein. Protein farnesyl transferase (PFTase) is able to site-specifically and quant. prenylate proteins contg. a C-terminal CaaX-box amino acid sequence with various modified isoprenoids. Here, the authors describe the design, synthesis, and application of a triorthogonal reagent (I) that can be used to site-specifically incorporate an alkyne and aldehyde group simultaneously into a protein. To illustrate the capabilities of this approach, a protein was enzymically modified with compd. I followed by oxime ligation and click reaction to simultaneously incorporate an azido-tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) fluorophore and an aminooxy-PEG moiety. This was performed with both a model protein [green fluorescent protein (GFP)] as well as a therapeutically useful protein [ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)]. Next, a protein was enzymically modified with compd. I followed by coupling to an azido-bis-methotrexate dimerizer and aminooxy-TAMRA. Incubation of that construct with a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-DHFR-anti-CD3 fusion protein resulted in the self-assembly of nanoring structures that were endocytosed into T-leukemia cells and visualized therein. These results highlight how complex multifunctional protein assemblies can be prepd. using this facile triorthogonal approach. - 88Uchinomiya, S.; Ojida, A.; Hamachi, I. Inorg.

Using an αErbB2 Fab-ErbB2 antibody-receptor pair as an example, we demonstrate covalent bond formation between an αErbB2-VSF mutant and a sp. surface lysine ε-amino group of ErbB2, leading to near quant. crosslinking to either purified ErbB2 in vitro or to native cellular ErbB2 at physiol. pH. This efficient biocompatible reaction may be useful for creating novel cell biol. probes, diagnostics, or therapeutics that selectively and irreversibly bind a target protein in vitro or in living cells.(c) Lu, Y.; Huang, F.; Wang, J.; Xia, J.

(American Chemical Society)Specific protein-peptide interactions are prevalent in the living cells and form a tightly regulated signaling network. These interactions, many of which have structural information revealed, provide ideal templates for affinity-guided covalent bioconjugation. Here we report the development of a set of four new reactions that covalently and site-specifically link nonenzymic scaffolding domains (two PDZ and two SH3 domains) and their ligands through thiol-chloroacetyl SN2 reaction. Guided by the three-dimensional structure of the wild type complex, a selected position of the protein was mutated to cysteine, and at the same time, an α-chloroacetyl group was installed at a corresponding position of the peptide. Specific binding interaction between the two brings the reactive groups into close proximity, converts the nonreactive cysteine residue into a content-dependent reactive site, and induces the nucleophilic reaction that is inert in the absence of the binding event. The specificity, orthogonality, and modularity of the four reactions were characterized, the reaction was applied to label proteins in vitro and receptor on the surface of mammalian cells, and the system was utilized to assemble covalent protein complexes with unnatural geometries.(d) Xiang, Z.; Lacey, V.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The selective generation of covalent bonds between and within proteins would provide new avenues for studying protein function and engineering proteins with new properties. New covalent bonds were genetically introduced into proteins by enabling an unnatural amino acid (Uaa) to selectively react with a proximal natural residue. This proximity-enabled bioreactivity was expanded to a series of haloalkane Uaas. Orthogonal tRNA/synthetase pairs were evolved to incorporate these Uaas, which only form a covalent thioether bond with cysteine when positioned in close proximity. By using the Uaa and cysteine, spontaneous covalent bond formation was demonstrated between an affibody and its substrate Z protein, thereby leading to irreversible binding, and within the affibody to increase its thermostability. This strategy of proximity-enabled protein crosslinking (PEPC) may be generally expanded to target different natural amino acids, thus providing diversity and flexibility in covalent bond formation for protein research and protein engineering.(e) Masuya, T.; Murai, M.; Ifuku, K.; Morisaka, H.; Miyoshi, H.

(American Chemical Society)The site-specific chem. modification of NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) by various functional probes such as fluorophores and microbeads, without affecting the enzyme activity, may allow single-mol. analyses of putative dynamic conformational changes in the enzyme. In an attempt to address this challenge, we performed site-specific alkynylation of complex I in bovine heart submitochondrial particles by means of a ligand-directed tosylate (LDT) chem. strategy with synthetic acetogenin ligand 1, which has an alkynylated tosylate in the tail moiety, as a high-affinity ligand against the enzyme. The terminal alkyne was chosen as the tag to be incorporated into the enzyme because this functional group can serve as a "footing" for subsequent diverse chem. modifications via so-called click chem. (i.e., azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddn. in water). To identify the position alkynylated by ligand 1, fluorescent tetramethylrhodamine was covalently attached to the incorporated alkyne by click chem. after the solubilization of complex I. Detailed proteomic analyses revealed that alkynylation occurred at Asp160 in the 49 kDa subunit, which may be located in the inner part of the putative quinone-binding cavity. The alkynylation was completely suppressed in the presence of an excess of other inhibitors such as bullatacin and quinazoline. While the reaction yield of the alkynylation step via LDT chem. was estd. to be ∼50%, the alkynylation unfortunately resulted in the almost complete inhibition of enzyme activity. Nevertheless, the results of this study demonstrate that complex I can be site-specifically alkynylated through LDT chem., providing a clue about the diverse chem. modifications of the enzyme in combination with click chem.(f) Hayashi, T.; Sun, Y.; Tamura, T.; Kuwata, K.; Song, Z.; Takaoka, Y.; Hamachi, I.

(American Chemical Society)Glycoproteins on cell surfaces play important roles in biol. processes, including cell-cell interaction/signaling, immune response, and cell differentiation. Given the diversity of the structure of glycans, labeling and imaging of selected glycoproteins are challenging, although several promising strategies have been developed recently. Here, we design and construct semisynthetic reactive lectins (sugar-binding proteins) that are able to selectively label glycoproteins. Congerin II, an animal galectin, and wheat germ agglutinin are conjugated with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), a well-known acyl transfer catalyst by our affinity-guided DMAP method and Cu(I)-assisted click chem. Selective labeling of glycoproteins is facilitated by the DMAP-tethered lectin catalysts both in vitro and on living cells. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) anal. enabled us to isolate labeled glycoproteins that are uniquely exposed on distinct cell lines. Furthermore, the combination of immunopptn. with mass spectrometry (MS)-fingerprinting techniques allowed us to characterize 48 glycoproteins endogenously expressed on HeLa cells, and some low-abundant glycoproteins, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and neuropilin-1, were successfully identified.

(American Chemical Society)The ability to modify target native (endogenous) proteins selectively in living cells with synthetic mols. should provide powerful tools for chem. biol. To this end, the authors recently developed a novel protein labeling technique termed ligand-directed tosyl (LDT) chem. This method uses labeling reagents in which a protein ligand and a synthetic probe are connected by a tosylate ester group. The authors previously demonstrated its applicability to the selective chem. labeling of several native proteins in living cells and mice. However, many fundamental features of this chem. remain to be studied. In this work, the authors investigated the relation between the LDT reagent structure and labeling properties by using native FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) as a target protein. In vitro expts. revealed that the length and rigidity of the spacer structure linking the protein ligand and the tosylate group have significant effects on the overall labeling yield and labeling site. In addn. to histidine, which the authors reported previously, tyrosine and glutamate residues were identified as amino acids that are modified by LDT-mediated labeling. Through the screening of various spacer structures, piperazine was optimal for FKBP12 labeling in terms of labeling efficiency and site specificity. Using a piperazine-based LDT reagent contg. a photoreactive probe, the authors successfully demonstrated the labeling and UV-induced covalent crosslinking of FKBP12 and its interacting proteins in vitro and in living cells. This study not only furthers the understanding of the basic reaction properties of LDT chem. but also extends the applicability of this method to the investigation of biol. processes in mammalian cells.(i) Fujishima, S.-h.; Yasui, R.; Miki, T.; Ojida, A.; Hamachi, I.

A moderately reactive alkyloxyacyl imidazole (AI) assisted by ligand-binding affinity (ligand-directed AI (LDAI)) chem. allowed the authors to selectively modify natural proteins, such as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and folate receptor (FR), neither of which could be efficiently labeled using the recently developed ligand-directed tosylate approach. It was clear that LDAI selectively labeled a single Lys(K32) in DHFR, proximal to the ligand-binding pocket. The authors also demonstrate that the fluorescein-labeled (endogenous, by LDAI) FR works as a fluorescent biosensor on the live KB cell surface, which allowed the authors to carry out unprecedented in situ kinetic anal. of ligand binding to FR.(j) Wang, H.; Koshi, Y.; Minato, D.; Nonaka, H.; Kiyonaka, S.; Mori, Y.; Tsukiji, S.; Hamachi, I.

(American Chemical Society)Catalysts hold promise as tools for chem. protein modification. However, the application of catalysts or catalyst-mediated reactions to proteins has only recently begun to be addressed, mainly in in vitro systems. By radically improving the affinity-guided DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) (AGD) catalysts that the authors previously reported, here the authors have developed a new organocatalyst-based approach that allows specific chem. acylation of a receptor protein on the surface of live cells. The catalysts consist of a set of multivalent DMAP groups (the acyl transfer catalyst) fused to a ligand specific to the target protein. It was clearly demonstrated by in vitro expts. that the catalyst multivalency enables remarkable enhancement of protein acylation efficiency in the labeling of three different proteins: congerin II, a Src homol. 2 (SH2) domain, and FKBP12. Using a multivalent AGD catalyst and optimized acyl donors contg. a chosen probe, the authors successfully achieved selective chem. labeling of bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R), a G-protein coupled receptor, on the live cell-surface. Furthermore, the present tool allowed the authors to construct a membrane protein (B2R)-based fluorescent biosensor, the fluorescence of which is enhanced (tuned on) in response to the antagonist ligand binding. The biosensor should be applicable to rapid and quant. screening and assay of potent drug candidates in the cellular context. The design concept of the affinity-guided, multivalent catalysts should facilitate further development of diverse catalyst-based protein modification tools, providing new opportunities for org. chem. in biol. research.(k) Tsukiji, S.; Miyagawa, M.; Takaoka, Y.; Tamura, T.; Hamachi, I.

(American Chemical Society)Because sugar-binding proteins, so-called lectins, play important roles in many biol. phenomena, the lectin-selective labeling should be useful for investigating biol. processes involving lectins as well as providing mol. tools for anal. of saccharides and these derivs. The authors describe herein a new strategy for lectin-selective labeling based on an acyl transfer reaction directed by ligand-tethered DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine). DMAP is an effective acyl transfer catalyst, which can activate an acyl ester for its transfer to a nucleophilic residue. To direct the acyl transfer reaction to a lectin of interest, the authors attached the DMAP to a saccharide ligand specific for the target lectin. It was clearly demonstrated by biochem. analyses that the target-selective labeling of Congerin II, an animal lectin having selective affinity for Lactose/LacNAc (N-acetyllactosamine), was achieved in the presence of Lac-tethered DMAPs and acyl donors contg. probes such as fluorescent mols. or biotin. Conventional peptide mapping expts. using HPLC and tandem mass-mass anal. revealed that the acyl transfer reaction site-specifically occurred at Tyr 51 of Cong II. This strategy was successfully extended to other lectins by changing the ligand part of the ligand-tethered DMAP. The authors also demonstrated that this labeling method is applicable not only to purified lectin in test tubes, but also to crude mixts. such as E. coli lysates or homogenized animal tissue samples expressing Congerin. - 90Lodge, J.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. PEGylation is a clin. proven strategy for increasing the therapeutic efficacy of protein-based medicines. Our approach to site-specific PEGylation exploits the thiol selective chem. of the two cysteine sulfur atoms from an accessible disulfide. It involves two key steps: (1) disulfide redn. to release the two cystine thiols, and (2) bis-alkylation to give a three-carbon bridge to which PEG is covalently attached. During this process, irreversible denaturation of the protein does not occur. Mechanistically, the conjugation is conducted by a sequential, interactive bis-alkylation using α,β-unsatd.-β'-mono-sulfone functionalized PEG reagents. The combination of: - (a) maintaining the protein's tertiary structure after redn. of a disulfide, (b) bis-thiol selectivity of the PEG reagent, and (c) PEG assocd. steric shielding ensure that only one PEG mol. is conjugated at each disulfide. Our studies have shown that peptides, proteins, enzymes and antibody fragments can be site-specifically PEGylated using a native and accessible disulfide without destroying the mols.' tertiary structure or abolishing its biol. activity. As the stoichiometric efficiency of our approach also enables recycling of any unreacted protein, it offers the potential to make PEGylated biopharmaceuticals as cost-effective medicines.

(American Chemical Society)To improve both the homogeneity and the stability of ADCs, we have developed site-specific drug-conjugating reagents that covalently rebridge reduced disulfide bonds. The new reagents comprise a drug, a linker, and a bis-reactive conjugating moiety that is capable of undergoing reaction with both sulfur atoms derived from a reduced disulfide bond in antibodies and antibody fragments. A disulfide rebridging reagent comprising monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) was prepd. and conjugated to trastuzumab (TRA). A 78% conversion of antibody to ADC with a drug to antibody ratio (DAR) of 4 was achieved with no unconjugated antibody remaining. The MMAE rebridging reagent was also conjugated to the interchain disulfide of a Fab derived from proteolytic digestion of TRA, to give a homogeneous single drug conjugated product. The resulting conjugates retained antigen-binding, were stable in serum, and demonstrated potent and antigen-selective cell killing in in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Disulfide rebridging conjugation is a general approach to prep. stable ADCs, which does not require the antibody to be recombinantly re-engineered for site-specific conjugation.(b) Wang, T.; Ng, D.

(American Chemical Society)The efficacy of protein-based medicines can be compromised by their rapid clearance from the blood circulatory system. Achieving optimal pharmacokinetics is a key requirement for the successful development of safe protein-based medicines. Protein PEGylation is a clin. proven strategy to increase the circulation half-life of protein-based medicines. One limitation of PEGylation is that there are few strategies that achieve site-specific conjugation of PEG to the protein. Here, we describe the covalent conjugation of PEG site-specifically to a polyhistidine tag (His-tag) on a protein. His-tag site-specific PEGylation was achieved with a domain antibody (dAb) that had a 6-histidine His-tag on the C-terminus (dAb-His6) and interferon α-2a (IFN) that had an 8-histidine His-tag on the N-terminus (His8-IFN). The site of PEGylation at the His-tag for both dAb-His6-PEG and PEG-His8-IFN was confirmed by digestion, chromatog., and mass-spectral studies. A methionine was also inserted directly after the N-terminal His-tag in IFN to give His8Met-IFN. Cyanogen bromide digestion studies of PEG-His8Met-IFN were also consistent with PEGylation at the His-tag. By using increased stoichiometries of the PEGylation reagent, it was possible to conjugate two sep. PEG mols. to the His-tag of both the dAb and IFN proteins. Stability studies followed by in vitro evaluation confirmed that these PEGylated proteins retained their biol. activity. In vivo PK studies showed that all of the His-tag PEGylated samples displayed extended circulation half-lives. Together, our results indicate that site-specific, covalent PEG conjugation at a His-tag can be achieved and biol. activity maintained with therapeutically relevant proteins. - 95(a) Bryden, F.; Maruani, A.; Savoie, H.; Chudasama, V.; Smith, M.

(American Chemical Society)The rapidly increasing interest in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates as powerful targeted anticancer agents demonstrates the growing appreciation of the power of antibodies and antibody fragments as highly selective targeting moieties. This targeting ability is of particular interest in the area of photodynamic therapy, as the applicability of current clin. photosensitizers is limited by their relatively poor accumulation in target tissue in comparison to healthy tissue. Although synthesis of porphyrin-antibody conjugates has been previously demonstrated, existing work in this area has been hindered by the limitations of conventional antibody conjugation methods. This work describes the attachment of azide-functionalized, water-sol. porphyrins to a trastuzumab Fab fragment via a novel conjugation methodol. This method allows for the synthesis of a homogeneous product without the loss of structural stability assocd. with conventional methods of disulfide modification. Biol. evaluation of the synthesized conjugates demonstrates excellent selectivity for a HER2 pos. cell line over the control, with no dark toxicity obsd. in either case.(b) Jones, M.

R.; Gibson, Matthew I.; Haddleton, David M.Journal of the American Chemical Society (2012), 134 (3), 1847-1852CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)A series of dibromomaleimides are very efficacious at insertion into peptidic disulfide bonds. This conjugation proceeds with a stoichiometric balance of reagents in buffered solns. in <15 min to give discrete products while maintaining the disulfide bridge and thus peptide conformation. The insertion is initiated by disulfide redn. using a water-sol. phosphine, tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) which allows for subsequent substitution of the two maleimide bromides by the generated thiols. Reaction of salmon calcitonin (sCT) with 2,3-dibromomaleimide (1.1 excess) in the presence of TCEP (1.1 equiv) in aq. soln. at pH 6.2 gives complete prodn. of a single conjugate which requires no workup. A linear methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was functionalized via a Mitsunobu reaction and used for the successful site-specific and rapid pegylation of sCT. This reaction occurs in 15 min with a small stoichiometry excess of the pegylating agent to give insertion at the disulfide with HPLC showing a single product and MALDI-ToF confirming conjugation. Attempts to use the group in a functional ATRP polymn. initiator led to polymn. inhibition. Thus, to prep. a range of functional polymers, an indirect route was chosen via both azide and aniline functional initiators which were converted to 2,3-dibromomaleimides via appropriate reactions. For example, the azide functional polymer was reacted via a Huisgen CuAAC click reaction to an alkyne functional 2,3-dibromomaleimide. This new reagent allowed for the synthesis of conjugates of sCT with comb polymers derived from PEG methacrylic monomers which in addn. gave appropriate cloud points. This reaction represents a highly efficient polymer conjugation method which circumvents problems of purifn. which normally arise from having to use large excesses of the conjugate. In addn., the tertiary structure of the peptide is efficiently maintained. - 96(a) Jones, M. W.; Strickland, R. A.; Schumacher, F. F.; Caddick, S.; Baker, J. R.; Gibson, M. I.; Haddleton, D. M. Chem.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The advent of Adcetris and Kadcyla, two recently FDA-approved antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), in the clinic has had a major impact on the treatment of lymphoma and breast cancer patients, resp., worldwide. Despite these successes many new ADCs fail at various stages of development, often due to shortcomings in the methods used for their assembly. To address this problem we have developed next generation maleimides (NGMs), which specifically re-bridge reduced interchain disulfide bonds and allow the efficient conjugation of small mols. to antibodies, without the need for engineering of the target antibody. The method is site-specific and generates near homogeneous products in good yields. Moreover, adjustment of the reaction conditions allows control of the conjugation in terms of stoichiometry (drug-loading) and site selectivity. Using this method we prepd. a series of ADCs from trastuzumab and doxorubicin (DOX) with a controlled drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) of 1, 2, 3 and 4. All of these constructs were fully active by ELISA and had more than 90% of re-bridged disulfide bonds by CE-SDS when compared to clin. grade antibody. Furthermore, digest expts. of the DAR 2 material revealed that almost all of the drug had been targeted to the Fab arms of the antibody. Thus, NGMs offer a flexible and simple platform for the controlled assembly of ADCs from an antibody.

Design of a chain transfer agent (CTA) contg. N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (t-Boc) protected aminooxy group enabled us to use reversible addn.-fragmentation (RAFT) polymn. technique to polymerize the HPMA monomer. An amide bond was utilized to link the aminooxy group and the CTA through a triethylene glycol spacer. As a result, the aminooxy group is linked to the poly(HPMA) backbone through a hydrolytically stable amide bond. By varying the monomer to initiator ratios, polymers with targeted mol. wts. were obtained. The mol. wts. of the polymers were detd. by gel permeation chromatog.

We have previously reported a site-specific protein modification method using a transamination reaction that chemoselectively oxidizes the N-terminal amine of a polypeptide chain to a ketone or an aldehyde group. The newly introduced carbonyl can be used for conjugation to a synthetic group in one location through the formation of an oxime or a hydrazone linkage. To expand the scope of this reaction, we have used a combinatorial peptide library screening platform as a method to explore new transamination reagents while simultaneously identifying their optimal N-terminal sequences. N-Methylpyridinium-4-carboxaldehyde benzenesulfonate salt (Rapoport's salt, RS) was identified as a highly effective transamination reagent when paired with glutamate-terminal peptides and proteins. This finding establishes RS as a transamination reagent that is particularly well suited for antibody modification. Using a known therapeutic antibody, herceptin, it was demonstrated that RS can be used to modify the heavy chains of the wild-type antibody or to modify both the heavy and the light chains after N-terminal sequence mutation to add addnl. glutamate residues. - 101Carrico, I.

(American Chemical Society)Phage display is a powerful technol. that enables the discovery of peptide ligands for many targets. Chem. modification of phage libraries have allowed the identification of ligands with properties not encountered in natural polypeptides. In this report, we demonstrated the synthesis of 2 × 108 genetically encoded glycopeptides from a com. available phage-displayed peptide library (Ph.D.-7) in a two-step, one-pot reaction in <1.5 h. Unlike previous reports, we bypassed genetic engineering of phage. The glycan moiety was introduced via an oxime ligation following oxidn. of an N-terminal Ser/Thr; these residues are present in the peptide libraries at 20-30% abundance. The construction of libraries was facilitated by simple characterization, which directly assessed the yield and regioselectivity of chem. reactions performed on phage. This quantification method also allowed facile yield detn. of reactions in 109 distinct mols. We envision that the methodol. described herein will find broad application in the synthesis of custom chem. modified phage libraries.(d) Kularatne, S. A.; Deshmukh, V.; Ma, J.; Tardif, V.; Lim, R.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A chem. defined anti-CXCR4-auristatin antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) was synthesized that selectively eliminates tumor cells overexpressing the CXCR4 receptor. The unnatural amino acid p-acetylphenylalanine (pAcF) was site-specifically incorporated into an anti-CXCR4 IgG and conjugated to an auristatin through a stable, noncleavable oxime linkage to afford a chem. homogeneous ADC. The full-length anti-CXCR4 ADC was selectively cytotoxic to CXCR4+ cancer cells in vitro (half maximal effective concn. (EC50)≈80-100 pM). Moreover, the anti-CXCR4 ADC eliminated pulmonary lesions from human osteosarcoma cells in a lung-seeding tumor model in mice. No significant overt toxicity was obsd. but there was a modest decrease in the bone-marrow-derived CXCR4+ cell population. Because CXCR4 is highly expressed in a majority of metastatic cancers, a CXCR4-auristatin ADC may be useful for the treatment of a variety of metastatic malignancies. - 104(a) Lu, Y.; Ngo Ndjock Mbong, G.; Liu, P.; Chan, C.; Cai, Z.; Weinrich, D.; Boyle, A.

(American Chemical Society)Three types of metal-chelating polymers (MCPs) with hydrazide end groups were synthesized. (1) The first set of polymers (the F-series) was synthesized with a furan end group, and all of the pendant groups along the chain carried only a diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) metal-chelating functionality. The hydrazide was introduced via a Diels-Alder reaction between the furan and 3,3'-N-[ε-maleimidocaproic acid] hydrazide (EMCH). (2) The P-series polymers was designed to carry several copies of a nuclear-localization peptide sequence (NLS peptides, CGYGPKKKRKVGG, harboring the NLS from the simian virus 40 large T-antigen) in addn. to the DTPA metal-chelating groups. (3) The third type of polymer (the P-Py series) was a variation of the P-series polymers but with the introduction of a small no. of pyrene chromophores along the backbone to allow for UV measurement of the incorporation of the MCPs into trastuzumab (tmab). These hydrazide-terminated polymers were site-specifically conjugated to aldehyde groups generated by NaIO4 oxidn. of the pendant glycan in the Fc domain of tmab. The immunoconjugates were radiolabeled with 111In and analyzed by SE-HPLC to confirm the attachment of the polymer to the antibody. HER2 binding assays demonstrated that neither the MCPs nor the presence of the NLS peptides interfered with specific antigen recognition on SK-Br-3 cells, although nonspecific binding was increased by polymer conjugation. Our results suggest that MCPs can be site-specifically attached to antibodies via oxidized glycans in the Fc domain and labeled with 111In to construct radioimmunoconjugates with preserved immunoreactivity.(b) Zhou, Z.; Zhang, J.; Sun, L.; Ma, G.; Su, Z.

(American Chemical Society)The authors describe the rapid reaction of 2-amino benzamidoxime (ABAO) derivs. with aldehydes in water. The ABAO combines an aniline moiety for iminium-based activation of the aldehyde and a nucleophilic group (Nu:) ortho to the amine for intramol. ring closure. The reaction between ABAO and aldehydes is kinetically similar to oxime formations performed under stoichiometric aniline catalysis. The authors characterized the reaction by both NMR and UV spectroscopy and detd. that the rate-detg. step of the process is formation of a Schiff base, which is followed by rapid intramol. ring closure. The relation between apparent rate const. and pH suggests that a protonated benzamidoxime acts as an internal general acid in Schiff-base formation. The reaction is accelerated by substituents in the arom. ring that increase the basicity of the arom. amine. The rate of up to 40 M-1s-1 between an electron-rich aldehyde and 5-methoxy-ABAO (PMA), which was obsd. at pH 4.5, places this reaction among the fastest known bio-orthogonal reactions. Reaction between M13 phage-displayed library of peptides terminated with an aldehyde moiety and 1 mM biotin-ABAO deriv. reaches completion in 1 h at pH 4.5. Finally, the product of reaction, dihydroquinazoline deriv., shows fluorescence at 490 nm suggesting a possibility of developing fluorogenic aldehyde-reactive probes based on ABAO framework. - 106Agarwal, P.; van der Weijden, J.; Sletten, E.

Their reactive carbonyl groups are typically conjugated with α-effect nucleophiles, such as substituted hydrazines and alkoxyamines, to generate hydrazones and oximes, respectively. However, the resulting C=N linkages are susceptible to hydrolysis under physiologically relevant conditions, which limits the utility of such conjugates in biological systems. Here we introduce a Pictet-Spengler ligation that is based on the classic Pictet-Spengler reaction of aldehydes and tryptamine nucleophiles. The ligation exploits the bioorthogonal reaction of aldehydes and alkoxyamines to form an intermediate oxyiminium ion; this intermediate undergoes intramolecular C-C bond formation with an indole nucleophile to form an oxacarboline product that is hydrolytically stable. We used the reaction for site-specific chemical modification of glyoxyl- and formylglycine-functionalized proteins, including an aldehyde-tagged variant of the therapeutic monoclonal antibody Herceptin. In conjunction with techniques for site-specific introduction of aldehydes into proteins, the Pictet-Spengler ligation offers a means to generate stable bioconjugates for medical and materials applications.

The authors introduce a new reaction, the hydrazino-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) ligation, which has two distinct advantages over hydrazone and oxime ligations. First, the HIPS ligation proceeds quickly near neutral pH, allowing for one-step labeling of aldehyde-functionalized proteins under mild conditions. Second, the HIPS ligation product is very stable (>5 days) in human plasma relative to an oxime-linked conjugate (∼1 day), as demonstrated by monitoring protein-fluorophore conjugates by ELISA. Thus, the HIPS ligation exhibits a combination of product stability and speed near neutral pH that is unparalleled by current carbonyl bioconjugation chemistries. - 108Drake, P. M.; Albers, A.

(American Chemical Society)It is becoming increasingly clear that site-specific conjugation offers significant advantages over conventional conjugation chemistries used to make antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Site-specific payload placement allows for control over both the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) and the conjugation site, both of which play an important role in governing the pharmacokinetics (PK), disposition, and efficacy of the ADC. In addn. to the DAR and site of conjugation, linker compn. also plays an important role in the properties of an ADC. The authors have previously reported a novel site-specific conjugation platform comprising linker payloads designed to selectively react with site-specifically engineered aldehyde tags on an antibody backbone. This chem. results in a stable C-C bond between the antibody and the cytotoxin payload, providing a uniquely stable connection with respect to the other linker chemistries used to generate ADCs. The flexibility and versatility of the aldehyde tag conjugation platform has enabled the authors to undertake a systematic evaluation of the impact of conjugation site and linker compn. on ADC properties. Here, the authors describe the prodn. and characterization of a panel of ADCs bearing the aldehyde tag at different locations on an IgG1 backbone conjugated using Hydrazino-iso-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) chem. The authors demonstrate that in a panel of ADCs with aldehyde tags at different locations, the site of conjugation has a dramatic impact on in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetic behavior in rodents; this advantage translates to an improved safety profile in rats as compared to a conventional lysine conjugate. - 109Han, M.-J.; Xiong, D.-C.; Ye, X.-S.

Strain-promoted reactions between cyclooctynes and 1,3-dipoles have emerged as a versatile technol. for the modification of proteins. A broad range of methods has been developed for the introduction of azides (and other dipoles) into proteins, and a range of cyclooctynes has now become synthetically readily accessible or com. available. The emergence of these techniques will greatly expand the ability to prep. homogeneous protein conjugates (PEGylation, dimerization, spin-labeling, etc.) without the need for metals or reagents; this could be of great value for, for example, the manuf. of biopharmaceuticals. The recent demonstration that cyclooctyne can be genetically encoded into a protein will facilitate the direct read-out of protein tracking in living cells and potentially whole organisms, and is therefore a substantial extension of the bioconjugation toolbox. Cycloaddns. with other, more reactive dipoles than azide (e.g., nitrones or nitrile oxides) is also feasible now. Although the reactivity of cyclooctyn-3-ol is relatively low, the genetic encoding of more reactive cyclic alkynes is a logical next step.

The structural complexity of mols. isolated from biol. sources has always served as an inspiration for org. chemists. Since the first synthesis of a natural product, urea, chemists have been challenged to prep. exact copies of natural structures in the lab. As a result, a broad repertoire of synthetic transformations has been developed over the years. It is now feasible to synthesize org. mols. of enormous complexity, and also mols. with less structural complexity but prodigious societal impact, such as nylon, TNT, polystyrene, statins, estradiol, XTC, and many more. Unfortunately, only a few chem. transformations are so mild and precise that they can be used to selectively modify biochem. structures, such as proteins or nucleic acids; these are the so-called bioconjugation strategies. Even more challenging is to apply a chem. reaction on or in living cells or whole organisms; these are the so-called bioorthogonal reactions. These fields of research are of particular importance because they not only pose a worthy challenge for chemists but also offer unprecedented possibilities for studying biol. systems, esp. in areas in which traditional biochem. and mol. biol. tools fall short. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the chem. biol. toolbox. In particular, a rapidly increasing no. of bioorthogonal reactions has been developed based on chem. involving strained alkenes or strained alkynes. Such strained unsatd. systems have the unique ability to undergo (3+2) and (4+2) cycloaddns. with a diverse set of complementary reaction partners. Accordingly, chem. centered around strain-promoted cycloaddns. has been exploited to precisely modify biopolymers, ranging from nucleic acids to proteins to glycans. In this Account, the authors describe progress in bioconjugation centered around cycloaddns. of these strained unsatd. systems. Being among the first to recognize the utility of strain-promoted cycloaddns. between alkenes and dipoles, the authors highlight their report in 2007 of the reaction of oxanobornadienes with azides, which occurs through a sequential cycloaddn. and retro Diels-Alder reaction. The authors further consider the subsequent refinement of this reaction as a valuable tool in chem. biol. The authors also examine the development of the reaction of cyclooctyne, the smallest isolable cyclic alkyne, with a range of substrates. Owing to severe deformation of the triple bond from ideal linear geometry, the cyclooctynes show high reactivity toward dienes, 1,3-dipoles, and other mol. systems. In the search for bioorthogonal reactions, cycloaddns. of cyclic alkenes and alkynes have now established themselves as powerful tools in reagent-free bioconjugations. - 116(a) Li, X.; Fang, T.; Boons, G.-J.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Antibody-drug conjugates hold considerable promise as anticancer agents, however, producing them remains a challenge and there is a need for mild, broadly applicable, site-specific conjugation methods that yield homogenous products. It was envisaged that enzymic remodeling of the oligosaccharides of an antibody would enable the introduction of reactive groups that can be exploited for the site-specific attachment of cytotoxic drugs. This is based on the observation that glycosyltransferases often tolerate chem. modifications in their sugar nucleotide substrates, thus allowing the installation of reactive functionalities. An azide was incorporated because this functional group is virtually absent in biol. systems and can be reacted by strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddn. This method, which does not require genetic engineering, was used to produce an anti-CD22 antibody modified with doxorubicin to selectively target and kill lymphoma cells.(b) Zeglis, B. M.; Davis, C.

(American Chemical Society)An enzyme- and click chem.-mediated methodol. for the site-selective radiolabeling of antibodies on the heavy chain glycans has been developed and validated. To this end, a model system based on the prostate specific membrane antigen-targeting antibody J591, the positron-emitting radiometal 89Zr, and the chelator desferrioxamine has been employed. The methodol. consists of four steps: (1) the removal of sugars on the heavy chain region of the antibody to expose terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues; (2) the incorporation of azide-modified N-acetylgalactosamine monosaccharides into the glycans of the antibody; (3) the catalyst-free click conjugation of desferrioxamine-modified dibenzocyclooctynes to the azide-bearing sugars; and (4) the radiolabeling of the chelator-modified antibody with 89Zr. The site-selective labeling methodol. proved facile, reproducible, and robust, producing 89Zr-labeled radioimmunoconjugates that display high stability and immunoreactivity in vitro (>95%) in addn. to highly selective tumor uptake (67.5 ± 5.0%ID/g) and tumor-to-background contrast in athymic nude mice bearing PSMA-expressing s.c.

(American Chemical Society)There are currently many methods available for labeling proteins to study their structure and function. However, the utility of these methods is hampered by low efficiency, slow reaction rates, nonbiocompatible reaction conditions, large-sized labeling groups, and the requirement of specific side chains such as cysteine or lysine. A simple and efficient method for protein labeling was developed, in which an azide-contg. amino acid was introduced into a protein and conjugated to a labeling reagent by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddn. (SPAAC). This method allowed the authors to label proteins by simply mixing a protein and a labeling reagent in physiol. conditions with a labeling yield of ∼80% in 120 min. In addn., the specificity of SPAAC made it possible to analyze the expression level of a protein quant. by simple mixing and SDS-PAGE anal. with no need for antibodies or multistep incubations. Because the genetic incorporation of the azide-contg. amino acid can be generally applied to any protein and the SPAAC reaction is highly specific, this method should prove useful for labeling and analyzing proteins. - 118van Geel, R.; Pruijn, G.

(American Chemical Society)The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddn. of azides with ring-strained alkynes is one of the few bioorthogonal reactions suitable for specific biomol. labeling in complex biol. systems. Nevertheless, azide-independent labeling of proteins by strained alkynes can occur to a varying extent, thereby limiting the sensitivity of assays based on strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddn. (SPAAC). A subset of three cyclooctynes, dibenzocyclooctyne (DIBO), azadibenzocyclooctyne (DIBAC), and bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN), was used to evaluate the azide-independent labeling of proteins in vitro. For all three cyclooctynes, thiol-yne addn. with reduced peptidylcysteines is responsible for most of the azide-independent polypeptide labeling. The identity of the reaction product was confirmed by LC-MS and NMR anal. Moreover, undesired thiol-yne reactions can be prevented by alkylating peptidylcysteine thiols with iodoacetamide (IAM). Since IAM is compatible with SPAAC, a more specific azide-dependent labeling is achieved by preincubating proteins contg. reduced cysteines with IAM. - 119Poole, T. H.; Reisz, J.

BruceJournal of the American Chemical Society (2014), 136 (17), 6167-6170CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)Protein sulfenic acids are formed by the reaction of biol. relevant reactive oxygen species with protein thiols. Sulfenic acid formation modulates the function of enzymes and transcription factors either directly or through the subsequent formation of protein disulfide bonds. Identifying the site, timing, and conditions of protein sulfenic acid formation remains crucial to understanding cellular redox regulation. Current methods for trapping and analyzing sulfenic acids involve the use of dimedone and other nucleophilic 1,3-dicarbonyl probes that form covalent adducts with cysteine-derived protein sulfenic acids. As a mechanistic alternative, the present study describes highly strained bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN) derivs. as concerted traps of sulfenic acids. These strained cycloalkynes react efficiently with sulfenic acids in proteins and small mols. yielding stable alkenyl sulfoxide products at rates >100x greater than 1,3-dicarbonyl reagents enabling kinetic competition with physiol. sulfur chem. Similar to the 1,3-dicarbonyl reagents, the BCN compds. distinguish the sulfenic acid oxoform from the thiol, disulfide, sulfinic acid, and S-nitrosated forms of cysteine while displaying an acceptable cell toxicity profile. The enhanced rates demonstrated by these strained alkynes identify them as new bioorthogonal probes that should facilitate the discovery of previously unknown sulfenic acid sites and their parent proteins. - 120Ning, X.; Temming, R.

As the structural motif of scFv fragments is highly conserved, and other kinds of nanoparticles can be modified identically with the same polymer used herein, this approach is expected to be of general utility and may become a universal strategy for the development of a new generation of targeted nanoparticles.

(American Chemical Society)We have previously described an approach whereby antibody Fc fragments harboring a single C-terminal selenocysteine residue (Fc-Sec) are directed against a variety of targets by changing the peptide or small mol. to which they are conjugated. In the present work, we describe methodol. for improving the efficacy of these Fc-Sec conjugates by incorporating cytotoxic drugs. The Fc-Sec protein is first programmed to target specific tumor cell types by attachment of a bifunctional linker that contains a "clickable" handle (e.g., cyclobutane or cyclooctyne) in addn. to a tumor cell-binding peptide or small mol. Following Fc-Sec conjugation, a cytotoxic warhead is then attached by cycloaddn. reactions of tetrazine or azide-contg. linker. To validate this approach, we used a model system in which folic acid (FA) is the targeting moiety and a disulfide-linked biotin moiety serves as a cytotoxic drug surrogate. We demonstrated successful targeting of Fc-Sec proteins to folate-receptor expressing tumor cells. Tetrazine ligation was found to be an efficient method for biotin "arming" of the folate-targeted Fc-Sec proteins.

SPAAC (strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddn.) chem. is now available to site-specifically and noninvasively modify proteins in living cells. As the tRNA'/pylRSA showed no obvious dependence on linker length (1 vs. 2), it is conceivable that slightly altered derivs., such as mono- and difluorinated cyclooctynes, and possibly bicyclonones, could be directly used in this system. Other enhanced cyclooctynes, such as dibenzocycloctynes, could pose substantial challenges to the synthetase and/or the host translational machinery owing to their larger size. As pylRS from M. mazei is orthogonal in a variety of eukaryotic organisms, we are now evaluating the transfer of this system to mammalian cells, where the technique would not only greatly expand our abilities to track proteins in living specimen but also to introduce other type of functional groups, such as cross-linkers or spin-labels for NMR spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in living specimens.

The reaction of a Ph sydnone 1,3-dipole with a bicyclononyne dipolarophile was described. This strain-promoted reaction proceeded without transition metal catalysis in aq. buffer, at physiol. temp., and pressure with a rate comparable to that of other bioorthogonal reactions. We demonstrate the quant. and specific labeling of a genetically encoded bicyclononyne with a sydnone fluorophore conjugate, demonstrating the utility of this approach for bioorthogonal protein labeling.

(American Chemical Society)Nε-Acryloyl-L-lysine, a noncanonical amino acid with an electron deficient olefin, is genetically encoded in Escherichia coli using a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase mutant in coordination with tRNACUAPyl. The acrylamide moiety is stable in cells, whereas it is active enough to perform a diverse set of unique reactions for protein modifications in vitro. These reactions include 1,4-addn., radical polymn., and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddn. A protein incorporated with Nε-acryloyl-L-lysine is efficiently modified with thiol-contg. nucleophiles at slightly alkali conditions, and the acrylamide moiety also allows rapid radical copolymn. of the same protein into a polyacrylamide hydrogel at physiol. pH. At physiol. conditions, the acrylamide functionality undergoes a fast 1,3-dipolar cycloaddn. reaction with diaryl nitrile imine to show turn-on fluorescence.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The strategy exploits nonnatural amino acid incorporation for the introduction of L-homoallylglycine (L-Hag) into a protein and free-radical addn. hydrothiolation reactions, under conditions mild enough to retain protein activity throughout. In this way, Hag functions as a new tag combined here with a new modification as part of a general "tag-modify" strategy for synthetic-protein construction. While 1-thioglycoside formation by the free-radical addn. of 1-glycosylthiols to alkenes has been reported for the synthesis of small mols., to date this method has not been applied to the synthesis of S-linked glycoproteins or bioconjugates. The unique reactivity profile of L-Hag, with an olefinic sidechain compared to the natural amino acids characteristically found in proteins, allows for a chemoselective chem. reaction.

Over the past decade, metals which were previously restricted to conventional org. synthesis have begun to be used in an increasing no. of biol. settings. This has been dominated by copper mediated catalysis of the azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddn. (1,3-dipolar addn.) chem. but other, less toxic, metals such as palladium are now beginning to establish themselves in the chem. biol./chem. medicine arenas. The potential of palladium mediated chem. in living systems now ranges from protein modifications to in cellulo synthesis or activation of drugs and suggests that palladium chem. has the potential to become a powerful tool. In this review we highlight recent advances in Pd-mediated reactions in living systems.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. This feature article discusses synthetic metal complexes that are capable of catalyzing chem. transformations in living organisms. Photodynamic therapy exemplifies what is probably the most established artificial catalytic process exploited in medicine, namely the photosensitized catalytic generation of cell-damaging singlet oxygen. Different redox catalysts have been designed over the last two decades to target a variety of redox alterations in cancer and other diseases. For example, pentaazamacrocyclic manganese(ii) complexes catalyze the dismutation of superoxide to O2 and H2O2in vivo and thus reduce oxidative stress in analogy to the native enzyme superoxide dismutase. Recently, piano-stool ruthenium and iridium complexes were reported to influence cellular redox homeostasis indirectly by catalytic glutathione oxidn. and catalytic transfer hydrogenation using the coenzyme NADH, resp. Over the last few years, significant progress was made towards the application of non-biol. reactions in living systems, ranging from the organoruthenium-catalyzed cleavage of alkylcarbamates and a gold-catalyzed intramol. hydroarylation to palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-couplings within the cytoplasm or on the surface of living cells. The design of bioorthogonal catalyst/substrate pairs, which can passively diffuse into cells, combines the advantages of small mols. with catalysis and promises to provide exciting new tools for future chem. biol. studies.(b) Antos, J.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. The broad utility of protein bioconjugates has created a need for new and diverse strategies for site-selective protein modification. In particular, chem. reactions that target alternative amino acid side chains or unnatural functional groups are emerging as a valuable complement to more commonly used lysine- and cysteine-based strategies. Considering their widespread use in org. synthesis, reactions catalyzed by transition metals could provide a particularly powerful set of transformations for the continued expansion of the bioconjugation toolkit. Recent efforts to apply transition metal catalysis to protein modification have resulted in new methods for protein crosslinking, tryptophan modification, tyrosine modification, reductive amination of protein amines, and unnatural amino acid labeling. These strategies have substantially expanded the synthetic flexibility of protein modification, and thus the range of applications for which bioconjugates can be used in chem. biol. and materials science.

This technique employs electrophilic π-allyl intermediates derived from allylic acetate and carbamate precursors and can be used to modify proteins in aq. soln. at room temp. To facilitate the detection of modified proteins using SDS-PAGE anal., a fluorescent allyl acetate was synthesized and coupled to chymotrypsinogen A and bacteriophage MS2. The tyrosine selectivity of the reaction was confirmed through trypsin digest anal. The utility of the reaction was demonstrated by using taurine-derived carbamates as water solubilizing groups that are cleaved upon protein functionalization. This soly. switching technique was used to install hydrophobic farnesyl and C17 chains on chymotrypsinogen A in water using little or no cosolvent.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Design and synthesis of a novel long-wavelength polarity-sensitive fluorescence probe, 6-[9-(diethylamino)-5-oxo-5 H-benzo[α]phenoxazin-2-yloxy]hex-2-enyl acetate, for the selective modification of tyrosine residues with the goal of providing local information on tyrosine domains in proteins, is reported. This probe comprises a polarity-sensitive Nile red fluorophore and an active π-allyl group that can form π-allylpalladium complexes and react selectively with tyrosine residues. Probe has the following features: 1) it has a long-wavelength emission of >550 nm, thanks to which interference from short-wavelength fluorescence from common biol. matrixes can be avoided; 2) the max. emission wavelength is sensitive only to polarity and not to pH or temp.; this allows the accurate detn. of local polarity; and 3) it is a neutral, uncharged mol., and does not disturb the overall charge of the labeled protein. With this probe the polarity and conformation changes of the Tyr108 domain in native and in acid- and heat-denatured bovine Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase were detected for the first time. It was found that the polarity of the Tyr108 domain hardly alters on acid denaturation between pH 4 and 9. However, heat denaturation caused the Tyr108 domain to be more hydrophobic, and was accompanied by an irreversible aggregation of the protein. In addn., the probe-binding expts. revealed that the surface of the protein becomes more hydrophobic after thermal denaturation; this can be ascribed to the formation of the more hydrophobic aggregates. This strategy might provide a general approach for studying the local environment changes of tyrosine domains in proteins under acid or heat denaturation conditions.

(American Chemical Society)The synthetic modification of proteins plays an important role in chem. biol. and biomaterials science. These fields provide a const. need for chem. tools that can introduce new functionality in specific locations on protein surfaces. In this work, an oxidative strategy is demonstrated for the efficient modification of N-terminal residues on peptides and N-terminal proline residues on proteins. The strategy uses o-aminophenols or o-catechols that are oxidized to active coupling species in situ using potassium ferricyanide. Peptide screening results have revealed that many N-terminal amino acids can participate in this reaction, and that proline residues are particularly reactive. When applied to protein substrates, the reaction shows a stronger requirement for the proline group. Key advantages of the reaction include its fast second-order kinetics and ability to achieve site-selective modification in a single step using low concns. of reagent. Although free cysteines are also modified by the coupling reaction, they can be protected through disulfide formation and then liberated after N-terminal coupling is complete. This allows access to doubly functionalized bioconjugates that can be difficult to access using other methods.(d) Seim, K. L.; Obermeyer, A. C.; Francis, M. B. J. Am. Chem.

(Annual Reviews Inc.)A review. The development of new orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs has led to the addn. of approx. 70 unnatural amino acids (UAAs) to the genetic codes of Escherichia coli, yeast, and mammalian cells. These UAAs represent a wide range of structures and functions not found in the canonical 20 amino acids and thus provide new opportunities to generate proteins with enhanced or novel properties and probes of protein structure and function.

(Nature Publishing Group)One of the most important current scientific paradoxes is the economy with which nature uses genes. In all higher animals studied, many fewer genes have been found than would have previously expected. The functional outputs of the eventual products of genes seem to be far more complex than the more restricted blueprint. In higher organisms, the functions of many proteins are modulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). These alterations of amino-acid side chains lead to higher structural and functional protein diversity and are, therefore, a leading contender for an explanation for this seeming incongruity. Natural protein prodn. methods typically produce PTM mixts. within which function is difficult to dissect or control. Until now it has not been possible to access pure mimics of complex PTMs. Here the authors report a chem. tagging approach that enables the attachment of multiple modifications to bacterially expressed (bare) protein scaffolds: this approach allows reconstitution of functionally effective mimics of higher organism PTMs. By attaching appropriate modifications at suitable distances in the widely-used LacZ reporter enzyme scaffold, the authors created protein probes that included sensitive systems for detection of mammalian brain inflammation and disease. Through target synthesis of the desired modification, chem. provides a structural precision and an ability to retool with a chosen PTM in a manner not available to other approaches. In this way, combining chem. control of PTM with readily available protein scaffolds provides a systematic platform for creating probes of protein-PTM interactions. The authors therefore anticipate that this ability to build model systems will allow some of this gene product complexity to be dissected, with the aim of eventually being able to completely duplicate the patterns of a particular protein's PTMs from an in vivo assay into an in vitro system.

Overall, a sepharose resin derivatized with propargyl alc. has afforded the highest yields of immobilized protein.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The parallel comparison of the bioorthogonal click reactions, namely the strain-promoted copper-free cycloaddn. and the ligand-accelerated CuAAC, verifies the great potential of the latter as a highly effective ligation tool for broad biol. applications. With the discovery of a new accelerating ligand for CuAAC, not only are kinetics that are faster than those of the known catalysts achieved, but more importantly, it allows for effective bioconjugation with suppressed cell cytotoxicity by further lowering CuI loading in the catalyst formulation. Although CuAAC requires multiple reagents to promote the reaction, which is more complicated compared to the copper-free click chem. where only one single reagent is used, the reaction conditions optimized here are the most effective in four biol. settings, i.e., labeling of recombinant glycoproteins, glycoproteins in crude cell lysates and on live cell surfaces, and in the enveloping layer of zebrafish embryos. An addnl. advantage of the bio-benign CuAAC is that it liberates the bioconjugation from the limitation where ligations could only be accomplished with azide-tagged biomols. Terminal alkyne residues can now also be incorporated into biomols. and detected in vivo. Overall, the reported ligand-accelerated CuAAC represents a powerful and highly adaptive bioconjugation tool for biologists, which holds great promise for further improvement with the discovery of more versatile catalyst systems.(b) Kennedy, D.

(American Chemical Society)Copper toxicity is a crit. issue in the development of copper-based catalysts for copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddn. (CuAAC) reactions for applications in living systems. The effects and related toxicity of copper on mammalian cells are dependent on the ligand environment. Copper complexes can be highly toxic, can induce changes in cellular metab., and can be rapidly taken up by cells, all of which can affect their ability to function as catalysts for CuAAC in living systems. Herein, the authors have evaluated the effects of a no. of copper complexes that are typically used to catalyze CuAAC reactions on four human cell lines by measuring mitochondrial activity based on the metab. of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) to study toxicity, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to study cellular uptake, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy to study effects on lipid metab. The authors find that ligand environment around copper influences all three parameters. Interestingly, for the Cu(II)-bis-L-histidine complex (Cu(his)2), cellular uptake and metabolic changes are obsd. with no toxicity after 72 h at micromolar concns. Furthermore, the authors show that under conditions where other copper complexes kill human hepatoma cells, Cu(I)-L-histidine is an effective catalyst for CuAAC labeling of live cells following metabolic incorporation of an alkyne-labeled sugar (Ac4ManNAl) into glycosylated proteins expressed on the cell surface. This result suggests that Cu(his)2 or derivs. thereof have potential for in vivo applications where toxicity as well as catalytic activity are crit. factors for successful bioconjugation reactions.(c) Hong, V.; Presolski, S.

(CuAAC) has been optimized for use with biol. mols. The key development is the addn. of two reagents that allow ascorbate to be used as reducing agent while eliminating problems caused by copper ascorbate side reactions. The result is a robust, rapid, and convenient procedure for the modification of proteins, DNA, RNA, and other biomols. Sodium ascorbate is the preferred reducing agent for most applications, due to its convenience and effectiveness at generating the catalytically active Cu1 oxidn. state. Cu concns. should generally be between 50 and 100 μM. A fluorogenic or colorimetric assay, such as that enabled by a coumarin deriv. is strongly recommended for optimization of specific cases. At least five equiv. of THPTA (other water-sol. variants) relative to Cu should be employed. Aminoguanidine is a useful additive to intercept byproducts of ascorbate oxidn. that can covalently modify or crosslink proteins. Compatible buffers include phosphate, carbonate, or HEPES in the pH 6.5-8.0 range. Tris buffer should be avoided as it is a competitive and inhibitory ligand for Cu; sodium chloride (as in phosphate-buffered saline) up to 0.5 M can be used. Ascorbate should not be added to copper-contg. solns. in the absence of the ligand. As a matter of routine, the authors first mix CuSO4 with the ligand, add this mixt. to a soln. of the azide and alkyne substrates, and then initiate the CuAAC reaction by the addn. of sodium ascorbate to the desired concn. The Cu-THPTA catalyst in water is inhibited by excess alkyne, and so the procedure described here is useful for alkyne concns. less than approx. 5 mM. - 160Kolodych, S.; Rasolofonjatovo, E.; Chaumontet, M.; Nevers, M.-C.; Créminon, C.; Taran, F.

Two of these modules, along with their 1,4-triazole regioisomers, were installed in a turn region of bovine pancreatic RNase (RNase A; 124 residues) by using expressed protein ligation. The resulting semisynthetic enzymes displayed full enzymic activity, indicating the maintenance of native structure. The 1,5-triazole surrogates instilled conformational stability that was comparable to that of Xaa-cis-Pro segments, whereas the 1,4-triazoles conferred markedly less stability. The stability conferred by both surrogates was independent of the Xaa residue, eliminating an uncertainty in protein design. The authors conclude that Xaa-1,5-triazole-Ala modules can serve as viable mimics of Xaa-cis-Pro segments. The possibility of synthesizing this surrogate by the ligation of fragments in situ and the emergence of biocompatible catalysts for that process portends its widespread use. - 162Li, J.; Chen, P. R.

(American Chemical Society)Fast and specific bioorthogonal reactions are highly desirable because they provide efficient tracking of biomols. that are present in low abundance and/or involved in fast dynamic process in living systems. Toward this end, classic strategy involves the optimization of substrate structures and reaction conditions in test tubes, testing their compatibility with biol. systems, devising synthetic biol. schemes to introduce the modified substrates into living cells or organisms, and finally validating the superior kinetics for enhanced capacity in tracking biomols. in vivo, a lengthy process often mired by unexpected results. Here, the authors report a streamlined approach in which the "microenvironment" of a bioorthogonal chem. reporter is exploited directly in biol. systems via phage-assisted interrogation of reactivity (PAIR) to optimize not only reaction kinetics but also specificity. Using the PAIR strategy, the authors identified a short alkyne-contg. peptide sequence showing fast kinetics (k2 = 13,000 ± 2000 M-1s-1) in a palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction. Site-directed mutagenesis studies suggested that the residues surrounding the alkyne moiety facilitate the assembly of a key palladium-alkyne intermediate along the reaction pathway. When this peptide sequence was inserted into the extracellular domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), this reactive sequence directed the specific labeling of EGFR in live mammalian cells. - 165Hauke, S.; Best, M.; Schmidt, T.

The authors identified p-iodophenyl derivs. from a small library that can be covalently attached to a lysine residue within a specific 13-amino-acid peptide sequence by Escherichia coli lipoic acid ligase A (LplA). The derivatization with p-iodophenyl subsequently served as a reactive handle for bioorthogonal transition metal-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling with alkyne-functionalized fluorophores on both the peptide as well as on the protein level. The authors' two-step labeling strategy combines high selectivity of enzyme-mediated labeling with the chemoselectivity of palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling. - 166Li, N.; Ramil, C.

(American Chemical Society)Palladium, a key transition metal in advancing modern org. synthesis, mediates diverse chem. conversions including many carbon-carbon bond formation reactions between org. compds. However, expanding palladium chem. for conjugation of biomols. such as proteins, particularly within their native cellular context, is still in its infancy. Here the authors report the site-specific protein labeling inside pathogenic Gram-neg. bacterial cells via a ligand-free palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction. Two rationally designed pyrrolysine analogs bearing an aliph. alkyne or an iodophenyl handle were first encoded in different enteric bacteria, which offered two facial handles for palladium-mediated Sonogashira coupling reaction on proteins within these pathogens. A GFP-based bioorthogonal reaction screening system was then developed, allowing evaluation of both the efficiency and the biocompatibility of various palladium reagents in promoting protein-small mol. conjugation. The identified simple compd. Pd(NO3)2 exhibited high efficiency and biocompatibility for site-specific labeling of proteins in vitro and inside living E. coli cells. This Pd-mediated protein coupling method was further used to label and visualize a Type-III Secretion (T3S) toxin-OspF in Shigella cells. The authors' strategy may be generally applicable for imaging and tracking various virulence proteins within Gram-neg. bacterial pathogens. - 168Li, J.; Yu, J.; Zhao, J.; Wang, J.; Zheng, S.; Lin, S.; Chen, L.; Yang, M.; Jia, S.; Zhang, X.; Chen, P.

(Nature Publishing Group)Employing small mols. or chem. reagents to modulate the function of an intracellular protein, particularly in a gain-of-function fashion, remains a challenge. In contrast to inhibitor-based loss-of-function approaches, methods based on a gain of function enable specific signalling pathways to be activated inside a cell. Here we report a chem. rescue strategy that uses a palladium-mediated deprotection reaction to activate a protein within living cells. We identify biocompatible and efficient palladium catalysts that cleave the propargyl carbamate group of a protected lysine analog to generate a free lysine. The lysine analog can be genetically and site-specifically incorporated into a protein, which enables control over the reaction site. This deprotection strategy is shown to work with a range of different cell lines and proteins. We further applied this biocompatible protection group/catalyst pair for caging and subsequent release of a crucial lysine residue in a bacterial Type III effector protein within host cells, which reveals details of its virulence mechanism.

This minireview traces its development from early peptide models and metathesis in water to its ultimate application to protein substrates. Prospects in chem. and biol. are also discussed. For a reaction to be generally useful for protein modification, it must be site-selective and efficient under conditions compatible with proteins: aq. media, low to ambient temp., and at or near neutral pH. To engineer a reaction that satisfies these conditions is not a simple task. Olefin metathesis is one of most useful reactions for carbon-carbon bond formation, but does it fit these requirements This minireview is an account of the development of olefin metathesis for protein modification. Highlighted below are examples of olefin metathesis in peptidic systems and in aq. media that laid the groundwork for successful metathesis on protein substrates. Also discussed are the opportunities in protein engineering for the genetic introduction of amino acids suitable for metathesis and the related challenges in chem. and biol.

(Beilstein-Institut zur Foerderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften)A review. Olefin metathesis has emerged as a powerful tool in org. synthesis. The activating effect of an allylic hydroxy group in metathesis has been known for more than 10 years, and many org. chemists have taken advantage of this pos. influence for efficient synthesis of natural products. Recently, the discovery of the rate enhancement by allyl sulfides in aq. cross-metathesis has allowed the first examples of such a reaction on proteins. This led to a new benchmark in substrate complexity for cross-metathesis and expanded the potential of olefin metathesis for other applications in chem. biol. The enhanced reactivity of allyl sulfide, along with earlier reports of a similar effect by allylic hydroxy groups, suggests that allyl chalcogens generally play an important role in modulating the rate of olefin metathesis. In this review, we discuss the effect of allylic chalcogens in olefin metathesis and highlight its most recent applications in synthetic chem. and protein modifications.

(American Chemical Society)Cross-metathesis (CM) has recently emerged as a viable strategy for protein modification. Here, efficient protein CM has been demonstrated through biomimetic chem. access to Se-allyl selenocysteine (Seac), a metathesis-reactive amino acid substrate, via dehydroalanine. On-protein reaction kinetics reveal a rapid reaction with rate consts. of Seac-mediated-CM comparable or superior to off-protein rates of many current bioconjugations. This use of Se-relayed Seac CM on proteins has now enabled reactions with substrates (allyl GlcNAc, N-allyl acetamide) that were previously not possible for the corresponding sulfur analog. This CM strategy was applied to histone proteins to install a mimic of acetylated lysine (KAc, an epigenetic marker). The resulting synthetic H3 was successfully recognized by antibody that binds natural H3-K9Ac. Moreover, Cope-type selenoxide elimination allowed this putative marker (and function) to be chem. expunged, regenerating an H3 that can be rewritten to complete a chem. enabled "write (CM)-erase (ox)-rewrite (CM)" cycle. - 175Ai, H.-W.; Shen, W.; Brustad, E.; Schultz, P.

This was performed by the following two steps: (1) the His6-fused Ras protein contg. 4-iodo-L-phenylalanine at position 32 (iF32-Ras-His) was prepd. by genetic engineering, and (2) the aryl iodide group on the iF32-Ras-His was coupled with vinylated biotin in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The biotinylation was confirmed by Western blotting and liq. chromatog.-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The regioselectivity of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction was furthermore confirmed by LC-MS/MS anal. However, in addn. to the biotinylated product (bF32-Ras-His), a dehalogenated product (F32-Ras-His) was detected by LC-MS/MS. This dehalogenation resulted from the undesired termination of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction due to steric and electrostatic hindrance around residue 32.

C.; Davis, Benjamin G.Journal of the American Chemical Society (2009), 131 (45), 16346-16347CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)A phosphine-free palladium catalyst, generated from base, 4,6-dihydroxy-2-aminopyrimidine, and palladium acetate (I), is used as a catalyst for aq. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of iodophenyl- and bromophenyl-contg. amino acids, an iodobenzylated protein, and iodoarenes with aryl boronic acids and an alkenylboronate. I mediates Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions to give hindered, ortho-substituted biaryls but does not react with or decomp. either peptides and proteins. The catalyst mediates Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of brominated and iodinated Boc-tyrosines and S-(4-iodobenzyl)-Boc-glutathione, but does not catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of S-(4-iodobenzyl)-Boc-L-cysteine with phenylboronic acid; free cysteine or glutathione inhibit coupling reactions in the presence of I. A mutant of subtilisin Bacillus lentus (with a cysteine at residue 154 replacing a serine) is iodobenzylated at cysteine 154 and deactivated by benzylsulfonylation of the active site serine at residue 215; the inactivated and iodobenzylated product undergoes couplings with a variety of boronic acids in the presence of I in water in >95% conversions. The Suzuki-Miyaura couplings on the protein substrate are the first on a protein to proceed in useful conversions. Hydrophobic aryl and vinyl groups can be transferred to the protein surface without the aid of an org. solvent since the aryl- and vinylboronic acids used in the coupling are water-sol. as borate salts. The convenience and activity of this catalyst prompts use in both general synthesis and bioconjugation. - 185Spicer, C. D.; Davis, B. G. Chem.

(American Chemical Society)Benign C-C bond formation at various sites in cell-surface channels has been achieved through Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of genetically positioned unnatural amino acids contg. aryl halide side chains. This enabled site-selective cell surface manipulation of Escherichia coli; the phosphine-free catalyst caused no cell death at required Pd loadings, suggesting future in vivo application of catalytic metal-mediated bond formation in more complex organisms. - 187Spicer, C.
