Book A Non directed Strategy to Activity based Protein Profiling

Download or read book A Non directed Strategy to Activity based Protein Profiling written by Gregory Charles Adam and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteomics research requires methods to characterize the expression and function of proteins in complex mixtures. Toward this end, chemical probes that incorporate known affinity labeling agents have facilitated the activity-based profiling of certain enzyme families. This thesis describes the development of a non-directed, or combinatorial, strategy to accelerate the discovery of proteomics probes for enzyme classes lacking cognate affinity labels. Members of a probe library bearing a sulfonate ester chemotype were screened against complex proteomes for activity-dependent protein reactivities. Most proteins showed preferential labeling with specific members of the library, indicating that the varied binding group element was at least in part specifying the proteome reactivity of the probes. Biotin-tagged or trifunctional probes were applied to the affinity isolation of these reactivities which were subsequently identified by mass spectrometry methods as sulfonate targets from nine mechanistically distinct enzyme classes. Surprisingly, none of these enzymes represented targets of previously described proteomics probes. The identification of the amino acid residue(s) labeled in several of these enzyme targets confirmed that sulfonate esters function as active site-directed probes and are capable of profiling enzymes by modification of a variety of active site residues. The sulfonate library was also used to identify several targets, including glutathione S -transferase GSTO 1-1, tissue transglutaminase, and platelet-type phosphofructokinase, that were found to be upregulated in invasive human breast cancer cell lines. These results indicate that activity-based probes compatible with whole-proteome analysis can be developed for numerous enzyme classes and applied to identify novel protein markers of discrete pathological states.

  • Pages : 395 pages

Download or read book Designing Multi Target Drugs written by J. Richard Morphy and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-target drug discovery (MTDD) is an emerging area of increasing interest to the drug discovery community. Drugs that modulate several targets have the potential for an improved balance of efficacy and safety compared to single targets agents. Although there are a number of marketed drugs that are thought to derive their therapeutic benefit by virtue of interacting with multiple targets, the majority of these were discovered accidentally. Written by world renowned experts, this is the first book to gather together knowledge and experiences of the rational discovery of multi-target drugs. It describes the current state of the art, the achievements and the challenges of the field and importantly the lessons learned by researchers to date and their application to future MTDD.

Book Enzyme Discovery and Characterization by Proteome Reactivity Profiling

Download or read book Enzyme Discovery and Characterization by Proteome Reactivity Profiling written by Katherine T. Barglow and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteomics aims to identify new markers and targets for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. To realize this goal, methods and reagents are needed to profile proteins based on their functional properties, rather than mere abundance. To this end, activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), the use of active site-directed chemical probes to monitor enzyme function in complex biological systems, is emerging as a powerful post-genomic tool. Herein, we describe a strategy for the generation of libraries of non-directed activity-based probes, and their use for both enzyme discovery and characterization. We first synthesized and evaluated a structurally diverse library of probes consisting of a dipeptide binding group, an [alpha]-chloroacetamide ([alpha]-CA) electrophile, and a rhodamine/biotin tag, which labeled a wide variety of enzyme classes. We then utilized quantitative screening of probe-proteome reactions coupled with bioinformatic analysis to select a suite of probes that exhibit complementary protein reactivity profiles. This optimal probe set was applied to discover several known and novel enzyme activities differentially expressed in lean and obese ( ob/ob ) mice, and over the course of adipogenesis. Interestingly, one of these enzymes, hydroxypyruvate reductase (HPR), which may contribute to gluconeogenesis, was 6-fold upregulated in activity but not expression in obese over lean livers, and appears to be regulated in lean livers by a protein-protein interaction that blocks the active site. We next expanded our probe library and generated a second optimal set designed to label a large percentage of the targets of all possible dipeptide [alpha]-CA probes, and also allow for the systematic SAR study of probe-protein reactivity. From this set, we discovered probes for the nitrilase family of enzymes, a poorly-understood, highly conserved family of C-N hydrolases. For the nitrilase ureidopropionase-[beta], the probes, discovered de novo from screening, acted as close substrate mimics, implying that probe labeling profiles may offer insight into substrate selectivity for uncharacterized enzymes. Towards that end, we solved the structure of the nitrilase enzyme mouse Nit2 at 1.4Å resolution. Through a combination of probe labeling, mutagenesis, and molecular modeling, we propose a model of probe (and, by extension) substrate binding into the active site of this uncharacterized enzyme.

Book The Development and Application of Methods for Activity based Protein Profiling

Download or read book The Development and Application of Methods for Activity based Protein Profiling written by Nadim Jessani and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering that proteins mediate nearly all biochemical events underlying cell and organismal physiology and pathophysiology, the need to develop general methods to measure levels and activities of these biomolecules directly in cell, and tissue proteomes is apparent. The ability to profile classes of proteins based on activity would greatly accelerate assignment of protein function and identification of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. These issues have engendered a new breed of comparative proteomic strategies, in which the complex array of proteins expressed by a given biological sample are parceled into manageable fractions prior to analysis. Described here is a chemical proteomics method, "activity-based protein profiling" (ABPP), that was developed to compliment conventional genomic and proteomic methods that focus on measuring abundance rather than activity . ABPP employs chemical probes to covalently label active sites of enzyme superfamilies in a manner that provides a direct readout of changes in catalytic activity. By providing a covalent link between labeled proteins and a chemical tag, ABPP permits the consolidated detection, isolation, and identification of active enzymes directly from samples of high biological complexity. This work represents the application of ABPP for the functional analysis of human cancer. First, we demonstrate the utility of ABPP in classifying phenotypically distinct classes of human cancer lines based on enzyme activity profiles of their secreted and membrane proteomes. These studies are then extended to the profiling of primary human tumors as well as an established mouse model of human cancer, demonstrating the dramatic functional differences that exist between cancer cells grown in culture or in the context of in vivo tumor growth, both of which serve as important, widely used, research models of human cancer. Also shown, is the use of ABPP to assign novel constituents to otherwise well characterized enzyme families. Finally, the development and application of activity-based probes directed at the metalloprotease family of enzymes is described. Collectively, these studies establish ABPP as a powerful strategy for the functional analysis of large panels of cells/tissues, or to obtain in-depth information on a few samples, or even individual enzymes.
