Site-Specific Activity-Based Protein Profiling Using Phosphonate Handles.

ABSTRACT: Most drug molecules target proteins. Identification of the exact drug binding sites on these proteins is essential to understand and predict how drugs affect protein structure and function. To address this challenge, we developed a strategy that uses immobilized metal-affinity chromatography-enrichable phosphonate affinity tags, for efficient and selective enrichment of peptides bound to an activity-based probe, enabling the identification of the exact drug binding site. As a proof of concept, using this approach, termed PhosID-ABPP (activity-based protein profiling), over 500 unique binding sites were reproducibly identified of an alkynylated afatinib derivative (PF-06672131). As PhosID-ABPP is compatible with intact cell inhibitor treatment, we investigated the quantitative differences i
