A Paal-Knorr agent for chemoproteomic profiling of targets of isoketals in cells

ABSTRACT: Natural systems produce various γ-dicarbonyl-bearing compounds that can covalently modify lysine in protein targets via the classic Paal-Knorr reaction. Among them is a unique class of lipid-derived electrophiles - isoketals that exhibit high chemical reactivity and critical biological functions. However, it remains unknown about their target selectivity and profiles in complex proteomes. Here we report a Paal-Knorr agent, 4-oxonon-8-ynal (herein termed ONAyne), for a proteome-wide selectivity survey and quantitative reactivity profiling of the γ-dicarbonyl warhead. Furthermore, combined with quantitative chemoproteomics in a competitive format, ONAyne permitted global, in situ, and site-specific profiling of targeted lysine residues of two specific isomers of isoketals, levuglandin (LG) D2 and E2. The functional analyses reveal that LGs-derived adduction drives inhibition of malate dehydrogenase MDH2 and exhibits a crosstalk with two epigenetic marks on histone H2B in macrophages. Our approach should be broadly useful for target profiling of bioactive γ-dicarbonyls in diverse biological contexts.

Project description:Cysteine is unique among all protein-coding amino acids owing to its intrinsically high nucleophilicity. The cysteinyl thiol group can be covalently modified by both a broad range of redox mechanisms and various electrophiles derived from exogenous or endogenous sources. Measuring proteomic cysteines response to redox perturbation or electrophiles is critical for understanding the underlying mechanisms involved. Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) based on thiol-reactive probes has been the method of choice for such analyses. We therefore adapted this approach and developed a new chemoproteomic platform, termed as QTRP (Quantitative Thiol Reactivity Profiling), that relies on the ability of a commercially available thiol-reactive probe IPM to covalently label, enrich, and quantify the reactive cysteinome in cells and tissues. Here, we provide a detailed and updated workflow of QTRP that includes procedures for (i) labeling of the reactive cysteinome from cell or tissue samples (e.g. control vs treatment) with IPM, (ii) processing the protein samples into tryptic peptides and tagging the probe-modified peptides with isotopically labeled azido-biotin reagents containing a photo-cleavable linker via click chemistry reaction, (iii) capturing biotin-conjugated peptides with streptavidin beads, (iv) identifying and quantifying the photo-released peptides by mass spectrometry (MS)-based shotgun proteomics, (v) interpreting MS data by a streamlined informatic pipeline using a proteomics software, pFind 3, and an automatic post-processing algorithm. We also outline here how to use QTRP for measuring the changes on proteomic cysteines upon redox perturbation and for identifying targeted cysteine sites of thiol-reactive electrophiles. We anticipate that this protocol should find broad applications in both redox/chemical biology and drug discovery. The protocol for sample preparation takes 3 days, whereas MS measurements and data analyses require 75 min and <30 min, respectively, per sample.
