Mixed alkyl aryl phosphonate esters as quenched fluorescent activity-based probes for serine proteases.

چکیده
Activity-based probes (ABPs) are powerful tools for the analysis of active enzyme species in whole proteomes, cells or animals. Quenched fluorescent ABPs (qABPs) can be applied for real time imaging, allowing the visualization of dynamic enzyme activation by fluorescent microscopy. Unfortunately, qABPs are only available for a few enzymes. We here describe the design and synthesis of qABPs for serine proteases based on a phosphonate ester scaffold.

Tuning activity-based probe selectivity for serine proteases by on-resin 'click' construction of peptide diphenyl phosphonates.
Activity-based probes (ABPs) are powerful tools for functional proteomics studies. Their selectivity can be influenced by modification of a recognition element that interacts with pockets near the active site. For serine proteases there are a limited number of simple and efficient synthetic procedures for the development of selective probes. Here we describe a new synthetic route combining soli...
متن کاملSynthesis of pyrazole containing α-amino acids via a highly regioselective condensation/aza-Michael reaction of β-aryl α,β-unsaturated ketones.
A synthetic approach for the preparation of a new class of highly conjugated unnatural α-amino acids bearing a 5-arylpyrazole side-chain has been developed. Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of an aspartic acid derived β-keto phosphonate ester with a range of aromatic aldehydes gave β-aryl α,β-unsaturated ketones. Treatment of these with phenyl hydrazine followed by oxidation allowed the regiose...
متن کاملNoninvasive optical imaging of cysteine protease activity using fluorescently quenched activity-based probes.
We have generated a series of quenched near-infrared fluorescent activity-based probes (qNIRF-ABPs) that covalently target the papain-family cysteine proteases shown previously to be important in multiple stages of tumorigenesis. These 'smart' probes emit a fluorescent signal only after covalently modifying a specific protease target. After intravenous injection of NIRF-ABPs into mice bearing g...
متن کاملBiochemistry of protein-isocyanate interactions: a comparison of the effects of aryl vs. alkyl isocyanates.
In addition to their use in the polyurethane and pesticide industries, isocyanates have proven to be useful probes for the exploration of protein structure. This paper focuses on three aspects of isocyanates: their broad reactivity, their reversible interaction with cholinesterases, and the relative hydrolysis rates of alkyl and aryl isocyanates. The broad reactivity of isocyanates as well as t...
متن کاملActivity-based probes for monitoring postproline protease activity.
Postproline proteases constitute a subset of serine proteases involved in the regulation of many signaling events and are emerging as promising therapeutic targets for prevalent diseases, such as diabetes and cancer. Therefore, monitoring their activity in different tissues and diverse physiological states would certainly facilitate the elucidation of their physiological role and the establishm...
