Two Rapid Catalyst-Free Click Reactions for In Vivo Protein Labeling of Genetically Encoded Strained Alkene/Alkyne Functionalities

چکیده
Detailed kinetic analyses of inverse electron-demand Diels–Alder cycloaddition and nitrilimine-alkene/alkyne 1,3-diploar cycloaddition reactions were conducted and the reactions were applied for rapid protein bioconjugation. When reacted with a tetrazine or a diaryl nitrilimine, strained alkene/alkyne entities including norbornene, trans-cyclooctene, and cyclooctyne displayed rapid kinetics. To apply these “click” reactions for site-specific protein labeling, five tyrosine derivatives that contain a norbornene, trans-cyclooctene, or cyclooctyne entity were genetically encoded into proteins in Escherichia coli using an engineered pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNA(CUA)(Pyl) pair. Proteins bearing these noncanonical amino acids were successively labeled with a fluorescein tetrazine dye and a diaryl nitrilimine both in vitro and in living cells.

Genetically Encoded Copper-Free Click Chemistry**
The ability to visualize biomolecules within living specimen by engineered fluorescence tags has become a major tool in modern biotechnology and cell biology. Encoding fusion proteins with comparatively large fluorescent proteins (FPs) as originally developed by the Chalfie and Tsien groups is currently the most widely applied technique. As synthetic dyes typically offer better photophysical pr...
متن کاملReactions of strained hydrocarbons with alkene and alkyne metathesis catalysts.
Here we describe the metathesis reactions of a strained eight-membered ring that contains both alkene and alkyne functionality. We find that the alkyne metathesis catalyst produces polymer through a ring-opening alkyne metathesis reaction that is driven by the strain release from the monomer. The strained monomer provides unusual reactivity with ruthenium-based alkene metathesis catalysts. We i...

Reactive yet stable alkene reporters offer a facile route to studying fast biological processes via the cycloaddition-based bioorthogonal reactions. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a strained spirocyclic alkene, spiro[2.3]hex-1-ene (Sph), for an accelerated photoclick chemistry, and its site-specific introduction into proteins via amber codon suppression using the wild-type pyrrolys...
متن کاملSequential “Click” – “Photo-Click” Cross-Linker for Catalyst-Free Ligation of Azide-Tagged Substrates
Heterobifunctional linker allows for selective catalyst-free ligation of two different azide-tagged substrates via strained-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). The linker contains an azadibenzocyclooctyne (ADIBO) moiety on one end and a cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctyne (photo-DIBO) group on the other. The first azide-derivatized substrate reacts only at the ADIBO end of the lin...
متن کامل18F-Labeling Using Click Cycloadditions
Due to expanding applications of positron emission tomography (PET) there is a demand for developing new techniques to introduce fluorine-18 (t 1/2 = 109.8 min). Considering that most novel PET tracers are sensitive biomolecules and that direct introduction of fluorine-18 often needs harsh conditions, the insertion of (18)F in those molecules poses an exceeding challenge. Two major challenges d...
