Project description:The development of sulfonium-based ABPs for lysine-directed labeling under basic conditions. Through this work the authors are seeking to address an important unmet need, namely the development of new chemotypes that show high selectivity for lysine labeling and improved cell stability, when compared to activated ester probes. The sulfonium probes reported here are an extension of the group’s earlier work (Org. Lett. 2022, 24, 2, 581–586) developing and applying propargyl sulfonium probes to the formation of ester and amide reagents for bioconjugation. In this previous work the authors used the propargyl sulfonium reagents for three component reactions.

Project description:We present an ultrafast bisulfite sequencing (UBS-seq) method, which accelerates the bisulfite reaction by about 13-fold, resulting in minimal DNA damage and much lower background in all DNA sequences. This ultrafast BS protocol is also ideal for mapping of RNA 5-methylcytosine (m5C) because of much shorter reaction time and dramatically reduced RNA background. And allowed detection of m5C stoichiometry in highly structured RNA species.

Project description:Most bioorthogonal photo-uncaging reactions preferentially occur in polar environments to accommodate biological applications in the aqueous cellular milieu. However, they are not precisely designed to chemically adapt to the diverse microenvironments of the cell. Herein, we report a hydrophobic photo-uncaging reaction with tailored photolytic kinetics towards solvent polarity. Structural modulations of the aminobenzoquinone-based photocage reveal the impact of cyclic ring size, steric substituent, and electronic substituent on the individual uncaging kinetics (kH2O & kdioxane) and polarity preference (kdioxane / kH2O). Rational incorporation of optimized moieties leads to up to 20.2-fold non-polar kinetic selectivity (kdioxane / kH2O). Further photochemical spectroscopic characterizations and theoretical calculations together uncover the mechanism underlying the polarity-dependent uncaging kinetics. The uncaged ortho-quinone methide product bears covalent reactivity towards diverse nucleophiles of a protein revealed by tandem mass spectrometry. Finally, we demonstrate the application of such lipophilic photo-uncaging chemistry towards selective labeling and profiling of proteins in proximity to lipid droplets (LDs) inside human fatty liver tissues. Together, this work studies the solvent polarity effects of a photo-uncaging reaction and chemically adapts it toward suborganelle-targeted protein proximity labeling and profiling.

Project description:Reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotency by Yamanaka factors is usually slow and inefficient, and is thought to be a stochastic process. We identified a privileged somatic cell state, from which acquisition of pluripotency could occur in a non-stochastic manner. Subsets of murine hematopoietic progenitors are privileged, whose progeny cells predominantly adopt the pluripotent fate with activation of endogenous Oct4 locus after 4-5 divisions in reprogramming conditions. Privileged cells display an ultrafast cell cycle of ~8 hours. In fibroblasts, a subpopulation cycling at a similar ultrafast speed is observed after 6 days of factor expression, and is increased by p53-knockdown. This ultrafast-cycling population accounts for >99% of the bulk reprogramming activity in wildtype or p53-knockdown fibroblasts. We compared the transcriptomes of the fast cycling cells with those of slower hematopoietic progenitors, bulk fibroblasts and established iPS cells.

Project description:Expression microarrays were employed to identify genes induced by phorbol ester and ionomycin stimulation of EL4 cells. EL4 is a murine T cell line. To identify induced genes that were independent of new protein synthesis cells were pre-treated with cycloheximide. This expression study was used in conjunction with histone acetylation ChIP-chip to determine if inducible genes had a specific histone acetylation profile and whether the acetylation profile differed for genes with different kinetics of induction.

Project description:Synaptic activity is intimately linked to neuronal structure and function. Stimulation of live cultured primary neurons, coupled with fluorescent indicator imaging, is a powerful technique to assess the impact of synaptic activity on neuronal protein trafficking and function. Current technology for neuronal stimulation in culture include chemical techniques or microelectrode or optogenetic based techniques. While technically powerful, chemical stimulation has limited spatial resolution and microelectrode and optogenetic techniques require specialized equipment and expertise. We report an optimized and improved technique for laser based photoconductive stimulation of live neurons using an inverted confocal microscope that overcomes these limitations. The advantages of this approach include its non-invasive nature and adaptability to temporal and spatial manipulation. We demonstrate that the technique can be manipulated to achieve spatially selective stimulation of live neurons. Coupled with live imaging of fluorescent indicators, this simple and efficient technique should allow for significant advances in neuronal cell biology.

Project description:Enzymatic methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine in DNA is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism involved in mammalian development and disease. DNA methylation is brought about by collective action of three AdoMet-dependent DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), whose catalytic interactions and temporal interplay are poorly understood. We used structure-guided engineering of the Dnmt1 methyltransferase to enable catalytic transfer of azide tags onto DNA from a synthetic cofactor analog, Ado-6-azide, in vitro . We then CRISPR-edited the Dnmt1 locus in mouse embryonic stem cells to install the engineered codon, which, following pulse- internalization of the Ado-6-azide cofactor by electroporation, permitted selective azide-tagging of Dnmt1-specific genomic targets in cellula . The deposited covalent tags were exploited as ‘click’ handles for reading adjoining sequences and precise genomic mapping of the methylation sites. The proposed approach, Dnmt-TOP-seq, enables high-resolution temporal tracking of the Dnmt1 catalysis in mammalian cells paving the way to selective studies of other methylation pathways in eukaryotic systems.

Project description:In this study, we designed a novel antifungal agent, PQA-Az-13 that demonstrated antifungal activity against C. auris biofilms. Cellular proteomics indicated that PQA-Az-13 partially or completely inhibited numerous enzymatic proteins in C. auris biofilms, particularly those involved in both amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism processes, as well as in general energy-producing processes. Due to its hydrophobic nature and limited aqueous solubility, PQA-Az-13 was encapsulated in cationic liposomes and characterized by biophysical and spectral techniques. PQA-Az-13 liposomes demonstrated enhanced antifungal activity levels against both C. auris in in vitro biofilms and ex vivo skin colonization models.

Project description:To allow the study of unsaturated free fatty acids in live cells, we here report the use of sterculic acid, a 1,2-cyclopropene containing oleic acid analogue, as a bioorthogonal probe. We here show that this lipid can be readily taken up by dendritic cells without toxic side-effects, and that it can subsequently be visualised in live cells using an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction with quenched tetrazine fluorophores. Furthermore, this reaction can be integrated into a multiplexed bioorthogonal reaction workflow by combining it with two sequential copper-catalysed Huisgen ligation reactions. This allows for the study of multiple biomolecules in the cell simultaneously by multimodal confocal imaging. Aside from lipid imaging, the uptake and protein modification of sterculic acid can be studied in live cells via chemical proteomics.
