Cu-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne-Thiol Reaction Forms Ubiquitous Background in Chemical Proteomics Studies

ABSTRACT: We report here a Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne-thiol reaction forming thiotriazoles as the major by-product under widely used bioorthogonal protein labelling “click” conditions. The development of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) had tremendous impact on many biological discoveries. However, the considered chemoselectivity of CuAAC is hampered by high reactivity of cysteine free thiols yielding thiotriazole protein conjugates. The reaction by-products generate false positive protein hits in “functional” proteomic studies. The reported detail investigation of conjugates between chemical probes containing terminal alkynes, azide-tags and cell lysates reveals formation of thiotriazoles, which can be readily detected by in-gel fluorescence scanning or after peptide and protein enrichment by MS-based proteomics. The produced fluorescent bands or enriched proteins may not result from the important enzymatically driven reaction and can be falsely assigned as hits. This study provides a complete list of the most common background proteins. The knowledge of this previously overlooked reactivity now leads to improved experimental design. Here, we present modified CuAAC conditions, which avoids the undesired product formation and diminishes the background.

Activity-based protein profiling in human M2 macrophages using DHA-based photoaffinity probes

Project description:17-Hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (17-HDHA), an oxidative metabolite of the fish oil constituent docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3), is a signaling lipid with anti-inflammatory properties. The molecular mechanisms underlying the biological effect of 17-HDHA are poorly understood. Here, we report the design, synthesis and application of a complementary pair of bioorthogonal photoreactive probes based on the polyunsaturated scaffold of 17-HDHA and DHA. In these probes, an alkyne serves as a handle to introduce a fluorescent reporter group or a biotin-affinity tag via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. This pair of chemical probes was used to map specific protein interaction partners of 17-HDHA in primary human macrophages, which led to the identification of prostaglandin reductase 1 (PTGR1) as a target of 17-HDHA, but not DHA. Ensuing biochemical studies revealed that PTGR1 converted 17-HDHA into 17-oxo-DHA, which inhibited the biosynthesis of the pro-inflammatory lipids 5-HETE and LTB4 in human macrophages and neutrophils.

meCLICK-Seq - substrate-hijacking and RNA degradation strategy for the study of RNA methylation

Project description:The method hijacks RNA methyltransferase activity to introduce an alkyne, instead of a methyl, moiety on RNA. Subsequent copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with an imidazole-degrader leads to RNA cleavage and degradation, exploiting a mechanism used by endogenous ribonucleases. Focusing on N6-methyladenosine (m6A), we compare Slick-Seq to current state-of-the-art methods used to study of this modification, and show that the platform identifies methylated transcripts, determines RNA methylase specificity, and reliably maps modification sites in intronic and intergenic regions. Importantly, we discovered that METTL16 deposits m6A to intronic polyadenylation (IPA) sites, which suggests a potential role of METTL16 in IPA and, in turn, splicing. Unlike previously reported methods, Slick-Seq allows a comprehensive and dynamic study of RNA modifications throughout the transcriptome, including regions of low abundance.

SPAAC-NAD-seq, a sensitive and accurate method to profile NAD+-capped transcripts

Project description:We developed a Copper-free, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (SPAAC) to capture NAD-RNAs without RNA degradation. We examined the specificity of CuAAC and SPAAC reactions towards NAD+ vs. m7G, and found that both prefer NAD+ but also act on m7G. We show that m7G-capped RNA can be immuno-depleted, allowing for the specific identification of NAD-RNA via the SPAAC reaction and sequencing, which we name SPAAC-NAD-seq. Subjecting Arabidopsis RNA to both the original NAD captureSeq and SPAAC-NAD-seq, we found that more NAD+-capped RNA was identified by the latter, particularly those with low abundance. This led to the discovery of new gene ontology terms such as starch biosynthsis, intracellular protein transport and response to cadmium stress associated with genes that produce NAD-RNA. Furthermore, reads were uniformly distributed along gene bodies, which suggested that SPAAC-NAD-seq retained full-length sequence information. SPAAC-NAD-seq enables specific and efficient discovery of NAD-RNA in prokaryotes, and when combined with m7G-RNA depletion, in eukaryotes.

Ethynyl-1,2,3-triazolyl-phosphinate based electrophiles for cysteine labelling

Project description:Herein we report the density functional theory (DFT) guided discovery of ethynyl-triazolyl-phosphinates (PT) as a new class of electrophilic warhead for cysteine selective bioconjugation. Using DFT-calculations, we found that both the electron withdrawing character as well as the π-acidity of the P-bound triazole significantly contribute to its enhanced reactivity towards thiols. We developed a straightforward synthetic route starting from readily available organic azides and diethynyl phosphinates using CuI-catalysed azide alkyne cycloaddition in aqueous buffer to access a variety of functional electrophiles. These reagents were used to obtain fluorescent peptide-conjugates for receptor labelling on live cells and in the generation of stable and biologically active antibody-drug-conjugates. Moreover, we were able to incorporate PT-electrophiles into azide-containing proteins under native conditions and demonstrate their potential in protein-protein conjugation. Finally, we showcase the excellent cysteine selectivity of this new class of electrophile in mass spectrometry based, proteome-wide cysteine profiling.

NAD+-capped RNAs are preferentially produced from inducible genes in response to growth conditions in E. coli

Project description:Recent findings regarding NAD+-capped RNAs (NAD-RNAs) indicate that prokaryotes and eukaryotes employ non-canonical RNA capping to regulate genes, a previously unrecognized mechanism. Two methods for transcriptome-wide analysis of NAD-RNAs, NAD captureSeq and NAD tagSeq, are based on copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry reaction to label NAD-RNAs. However, copper can fragment RNA, interfering with the analyses. Here we report development of NAD tagSeq II, which uses copper-free, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition for labeling NAD-RNAs, followed by identification of tagged RNA by direct RNA sequencing. Using this method, we compared NAD-RNA and total transcript profiles of E. coli cells in the exponential and stationary phases and identified hundreds of NAD-RNA species. For some genes, the majority of their transcripts were found as NAD-RNAs. Our study indicates that NAD-RNAs are preferentially produced from inducible genes in response to different growth conditions.

Enhancing Cysteine Chemoproteomic Coverage Through Systematic Assessment of Click Chemistry Product Fragmentation

Project description:Higher-energy C-trap dissociation (HCD) of triazole-and biotin-modified peptides affords several characteristic fragment ions, including previously reported and newly identified species. Using the open and mass offset search strategies, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the relative intensities and specificity of these signature fragments. Through comparison of structurally matched isotopologues, we pinpoint the nature of the observed fragments.By varying the nature of the labeling reagent, including linker length, number of fragmentable bonds, and position of the triazole, we also achieve improved coverage of labeled peptides. The combination of labile and non-labile ion searches also affords an improvement in the chemoproteomic detected (CpD) cysteines identified. Collectively our study demonstrates the utility of labile ion and mass offset search strategies in the analysis of chemoproteomics datasets and reveals the ubiquity of triazole fragmentation in MS/MS analysis of chemically modified peptides.

Ethynylation of Cysteines from Peptides to Proteins in Living Cells

Project description:Efficient methods to introduce bioorthogonal groups, such as terminal alkynes, into biomolecules are important tools for chemical biology. State-of-the-art approaches are based on the introduction of a linker between the targeted amino acid and the alkyne, and still present limitations of either reactivity, selectivity or adduct stability. Herein, we present a new ethynylation method of cysteine residues based on the use of ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents. In contrast to other approaches, the acetylene group is directly introduced onto the thiol group of cysteine and can be used in one-pot in a copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) for further functionalization. Labeling proceeded with reaction rates comparable or higher than the most often used iodoacetamide on peptides or maleimide on the antibody trastuzumab. Under optimized conditions, high cysteine selectivity was observed. The reagents were also used in living cells for cysteine proteomic profiling and displayed a much-improved coverage of the cysteinome compared to previously reported iodoacetamide or hypervalent iodine-reagent based probes. Fine-tuning of the EBX reagents allowed optimization of their reactivity and physical properties for the desired application.

Multiplexed CuAAC-Suzuki-Miyaura for tandem activity-based chemoproteomic profiling

Project description:Suzuki-Miyauara cross-coupling has been used for mass-spectrometry-based chemoproteomics, including for target deconvolution and site of labeling studies. We also demonstrated that Suzuki-Miyauara cross coupling and CuAAC can be combined for dual target labeling for mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Furthermore, multiplexed CuAAC Suzuki-Miyaura chemoproteomics platform has been successfully applied to identify the protein targets of bifunctional cysteine- and lysine-reactive crosslinking probes.

CATCH-IT method for measuring nucleosome turnover

Project description:Direct measurement of nucleosome turnover dynamics by using co-translational incorporation of the methionine (Met) surrogate azidohomoalaine (Aha) into proteins and subsequent ligation of biotin to Aha-containing proteins through the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between the azide group of Aha and an alkyne linked to biotin. To measure turnover rates, we treat cells briefly with Aha, couple biotin to nucleosomes containing newly incorporated histones, affinity purify with strepavidin, wash stringently to remove non-histone proteins and H2A/H2B dimers, and analyze the affinity-purified DNA using tiling microarrays. We call this strategy 'CATCH-IT' for Covalent Attachment of Tags to Capture Histones and Identify Turnover. Keywords: Chromatin affinity-purification on microarray All experiments were done using strepavidin pulldown DNA cohybridized with total input DNA to the same array. Two channels per array, Cy5 and Cy3, were used in each experiment.
