چکیده

An α-N-acetylgalactosamine-containing quenched activity-based probe (qABP) was designed and successfully synthesized, and it was subsequently used in directed enzyme evolution experiments aided by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for the discovery of an α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase variant with improved catalytic activity.

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting and directed evolution of a-N-acetylgalactosaminidases using a quenched activity-based probe (qABP)†

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), when combined with random mutagenesis, offers a potent strategy for directed protein evolution. At the heart of this technique are the range of proteins, dyes or probes which transduce the intended biological event into quantifiable fluorescent signals in cells.Both fluorogenic substrates and activity-based probes (ABPs) may conceivably be used to dri...

Detection of intestinal cancer by local, topical application of a quenched fluorescence probe for cysteine cathepsins.

Early detection of colonic polyps can prevent up to 90% of colorectal cancer deaths. Conventional colonoscopy readily detects the majority of premalignant lesions, which exhibit raised morphology. However, lesions that are flat and depressed are often undetected using this method. Therefore, there is a need for molecular-based contrast agents to improve detection rates over conventional colonos...

Live Cell Imaging and Profiling of Cysteine Cathepsin Activity Using a Quenched Activity-Based Probe.

Since protease activity is highly regulated by structural and environmental influences, the abundance of a protease often does not directly correlate with its activity. Because in most of the cases it is the activity of a protease that gives rise to its biological relevance, tools to report on this activity are of great value to the research community. Activity-based probes (ABPs) are small mol...

A nonpeptidic cathepsin S activity-based probe for noninvasive optical imaging of tumor-associated macrophages.

Macrophage infiltration into tumors has been correlated with poor clinical outcome in multiple cancer types. Therefore, tools to image tumor-associated macrophages could be valuable for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a cathepsin S-directed, quenched activity-based probe (qABP), BMV083. This probe makes use of an optimized nonpeptidic...

Dynamic imaging of protease activity with fluorescently quenched activity-based probes.

Protease activity is tightly regulated in both normal and disease conditions. However, it is often difficult to monitor the dynamic nature of this regulation in the context of a live cell or whole organism. To address this limitation, we developed a series of quenched activity-based probes (qABPs) that become fluorescent upon activity-dependent covalent modification of a protease target. These ...
