Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a proteome-targeted capture probe and its preparation method, and its application in in situ analysis of mitochondrial proteome in living cells, thereby achieving high spatiotemporal resolution mitochondrial proteome analysis of mitochondrial proteins. Background Technology

[0002] Cells are composed of different subcellular structures, and different subcellular organelles play specific roles in physiological activities according to their own characteristics. Proteins and subcellular organelles are closely related, so the dynamic changes of proteins also reflect the health status and physiological activities of cells at all times.

[0003] Proteins are closely related to cellular life processes, and protein-protein interactions have remained a hot topic in recent years, with research mainly focusing on protein composition, dynamic structure, and quantitative proteomics in subcellular organelles. Accurate characterization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of protein complexes in situ within cells is crucial for elucidating their functions, understanding the essence of life phenomena, and revealing the fundamental mechanisms of major diseases (Science 2017, 356, 3321-3332).

[0004] Current protein analysis methods include ultracentrifugation, immunoprecipitation, and affinity mass spectrometry. However, these methods are no longer sufficient for quantitative analysis of proteomics with high spatiotemporal resolution. For example, ultracentrifugation is time-consuming, has limited specificity, and low coverage (Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 2019, 48, 19-25). Furthermore, existing methods struggle to analyze weak or short interactions, have poor selectivity for low-abundance proteins in cells, and are difficult to capture protein localization information (Chem. Soc. Rev. 2021, 50, 2911-2926).

[0005] Based on fluorescence imaging and proteomics mass spectrometry, proximity labeling technology has made significant contributions to the analysis of protein-protein interactions with high spatiotemporal precision. Proximity labeling is a newly developed proteomics analysis method for detecting transient and weak interactions. Alice Ting's research group fused ascorbate peroxidase (APEX) with gene-encoded organelle localization signals. Through gene transfection, the engineered enzyme was directed to specific subcellular regions. In the presence of H2O2, biotin-phenol or its variants were catalyzed by APEX to generate short-lived free radicals that labeled electron-rich amino acid side chains, enabling the analysis of proteomics in organelles such as mitochondria and even subcellular organelles (Science. 2013, 339, 1328-1331). APEX-based subcellular proteomics is of great significance for discovering new organelle components and determining the subcellular localization of unknown proteins. However, this method requires gene manipulation to construct engineered enzymes, making it unsuitable for sensitive, complex tissue or cell samples that are difficult to introduce exogenous genes into; the labeling conditions are harsh, requiring the addition of cytotoxic H2O2, which causes significant disturbance to cells; and the limited cell permeability of the biotin substrate BP restricts the further widespread application of this method. Under the condition of using photosensitizers, cross-linking of amino acids with different properties can be achieved according to the properties of the labeled molecules (JACS.Au.2021,1,1066-1075).

[0006] This invention synthesizes and applies photocatalytically activated subcellular organelle-targeting labeling molecules, enabling the labeling molecules to undergo chemical proximity labeling reactions only in specific subcellular organelles. It establishes an in-situ analysis method for protein complexes based on subcellular organelle-targeted cross-linking, achieving precise analysis of the dynamic changes in protein interactions in subcellular organelles with spatiotemporal resolution. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the problems of poor reaction controllability, low reaction rate, and inability to perform in-situ cross-linking of specific regions by conventional chemical cross-linking methods, this invention provides a mitochondrial proteome targeted labeling and capture probe. Using this targeted labeling and capture probe molecule, in-situ cross-linking of spatial regions is achieved under catalytic conditions within the region. Subsequently, click chemistry is used to attach enrichment groups to the labeled protein, selectively enriching cross-linked peptides and efficiently releasing them, thereby providing information on protein interactions in the targeted region.

[0008] This method has the advantages of being in situ on cells, rapid, and with controllable reaction, and can be applied to the analysis of regional or target proteins.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A mitochondrial proteome-targeting and trapping probe, the structure of which is shown below:

[0011]

[0012] The specific process for preparing the above-mentioned proteomics-targeted labeling and capture probe is as follows:

[0013] (1) 1-BOC-2-methylhydrazine, diethyl pyrocarbonate and triethylamine were dissolved in dichloromethane at a molar ratio of 1:1.5-2:0.1-0.5 at -20 to 0 °C and stirred overnight at room temperature to synthesize intermediate S1;

[0014] (2) Dissolve intermediate S1 and trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at a molar ratio of 1:1.5-2 and stir at room temperature for 1-2 hours to synthesize intermediate S2;

[0015] (3) At -20 to 0°C, p-alkynyl aniline, p-nitrophenyl chloroformate and triethylamine were added to tetrahydrofuran in a molar ratio of 1:1.5 to 2:1.5 to 2. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours. Then, intermediate S2 and triethylamine were added. The molar ratio of p-alkynyl aniline to intermediate S2 and triethylamine was 1:2 to 3:2 to 3. The mixture was stirred overnight at 40°C to 60°C to synthesize intermediate S3.

[0016] (4) Refluxing intermediate S3 and 4M potassium hydroxide for 6-8 hours, adjusting the pH of the hydrochloric acid stock solution to 1-2, purifying by semi-preparative liquid phase separation, and freeze-drying under vacuum to synthesize compound 1, namely probe 1;

[0017] (5) At -20 to 0 °C, 4-aminophenylpropargyl ether, p-nitrophenyl chloroformate and triethylamine were added to tetrahydrofuran in a molar ratio of 1:1.5 to 2:1.5 to 2. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours. Then, intermediate S2 and triethylamine were added in a molar ratio of 4-aminophenylpropargyl ether to intermediate S2 and triethylamine of 1:2 to 3:2 to 3. The mixture was stirred overnight at 40 to 60 °C to synthesize intermediate S4.

[0018] (6) Refluxing intermediate S4 and 4M potassium hydroxide for 6-8 hours, adjusting the pH to 1-2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, purifying by semi-preparative liquid phase separation, and freeze-drying under vacuum to obtain compound 2, namely probe 2;

[0019] (7) 3-(4-aminophenyl)propionic acid, propargylamine, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole were added to N,N-dimethylformamide in a molar ratio of 1:1~2:1~2:1~2 and stirred overnight. After semi-preparative liquid phase separation and purification, the intermediate S5 was synthesized by vacuum freeze drying.

[0020] (8) At -20 to 0°C, add intermediate S5, p-nitrophenyl chloroformate and triethylamine to tetrahydrofuran in a molar ratio of 1:1.5 to 2:1.5 to 2, stir at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours, then add intermediate S2 and triethylamine in a molar ratio of 1:2 to 3:2 to 3, and incubate at 40 to 60°C overnight to synthesize intermediate S6;

[0021] (9) Refluxing intermediate 6 and 4M potassium hydroxide for 6-8 hours, adjusting the pH to 1-2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, purifying by semi-preparative liquid phase separation, and freeze-drying under vacuum to obtain compound 3, namely probe 3.

[0022] The reaction process for synthesizing mitochondrial proteome-targeted labeling capture probes is as follows:

[0023]

[0024] The targeted labeling capture probe molecule has an active site at one end that is cross-linked with amino acid residues; and an alkynyl enrichment group at the other end.

[0025] An application of a proteome-targeted capture probe in in situ analysis of mitochondrial proteome in living cells involves incubating a photocatalyst riboflavin and the capture probe with living cells. Under light conditions, the capture probe molecules, in the presence of riboflavin and mitochondrial coenzymes, localize to the mitochondria and undergo covalent binding within the cell to achieve in situ capture of mitochondrial proteins. The other end of the probe molecule undergoes a click bioreaction via an alkyne group to biotinylate the probe molecule. The mitochondrial proteins are then enriched using enrichment materials. The enriched proteins are subjected to reducing reagents, alkylating reagents, and enzymatic digestion, followed by desalting, lyophilization, reconstitution, and mass spectrometry analysis.

[0026] The specific process includes the following steps:

[0027] (1) Preparation of riboflavin photocatalyst stock solution: The riboflavin photocatalyst is dissolved in water or an organic solvent to prepare a stock solution with a concentration of 10 mM. The organic solvent is one or more of the following: acetonitrile, organic alcohols, organic acids, DMF or DMSO.

[0028] (2) Add riboflavin stock solution to cell culture medium to make a final concentration of 1μM-10μM, incubate with cells at 37℃ for 15-30 minutes, and rinse cells with ammonium bicarbonate solution or phosphate buffer solution with pH 7.1-10.

[0029] (3) Preparation of the labeling probe molecule stock solution: Dissolve the probe molecule in water or an organic solvent to prepare a stock solution with a concentration of 1M. The organic solvent is one or more of the following: acetonitrile, organic alcohols, organic acids, DMF or DMSO.

[0030] (4) Add the probe molecule stock solution to the cell culture medium to make the final concentration 0.1mM-10mM, and incubate with the cells at 37℃ for 5-15 minutes;

[0031] (5) After incubation, place the cells under white light for 30s-15min;

[0032] (6) Use one or more of the following solutions with pH 7.1-10: ammonium bicarbonate solution, phosphate buffer, 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid solution or tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane solution, and a buffer solution that does not react with the reactive groups on the crosslinking molecules used to rinse away unreacted solution.

[0033] (7) Scrape off the cells and add 400-600 μl of cell lysis buffer (1-4% (v / v) SDS / PBS, 1% cocktail) per 1E7 cells. Use sonication to break the cells.

[0034] (8) Add biotin-azide to the protein sample, the molar amount of which is 2-10 times the molar amount of the labeled probe, the final concentration of which is 60-120 mM CuSO4, the final concentration of which is 60-120 mM THPTA or BTTAA, and the final concentration of which is 60-120 mM anti-ascorbic acid sodium; 25-60℃ for 10 min-2 h; the biotin-azide is selected from one or more of PC biotin azide, DIAZO-biotin azide, DADPS biotin azide, etc.

[0035] (9) Removal of excess small molecule reagents: Add four or eight times the volume of pre-cooled acetone to the sample and mix well. Precipitate the protein at -20℃ for 4-24 hours. Centrifuge, add pre-cooled acetone or methanol to wash the precipitate 1-3 times, and evaporate to dryness.

[0036] (10) Dissolution of protein samples: Protein samples are dissolved in an acidic solution such as formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid or acetic acid with a pH of 1-6.5, or an alkaline buffer solution with a pH of 7.5-10 containing 8M urea.

[0037] (11) Protein sample enrichment: Add enrichment material to the protein sample and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours. The enrichment material is one or more of organic / inorganic materials such as agarose microgel balls, magnetic balls, and PEG polymer balls.

[0038] (12) Remove non-specific protein adsorption by using one or more of the following solutions: 0.1-8M sodium chloride solution, 0.1-8M potassium chloride solution, 0.1-1M sodium carbonate solution, 1-8M urea solution, 1-8M guanidine hydrochloride solution, or 10-1000mM ammonium bicarbonate solution, sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer, Triton X-100, Chaps, Tween, methanol, acetonitrile, isopropanol, and formic acid.

[0039] (13) Reduction and alkylation of protein samples: Add one or more of the reducing agents such as DTT, TCEP or β-mercaptoethanol to reduce the protein sample. The final concentration of the reducing agent is 10-20 mM. Then add one or two of the iodoacetic acid or iodoacetamide to carry out the alkylation reaction of the protein sample. The final concentration of the alkylating agent is 10-40 mM.

[0040] (14) Enzymatic hydrolysis: Add protease to the protein sample at a mass ratio of protease to protein of 1:10–500 for enzymatic hydrolysis. The protease is one or more of trypsin, proteinase K, pepsin, elastase, carboxypeptidase, chymotrypsin, intracellular protease Lys-C / N, protein endonuclease Glu-C / N, and Asp-C / N. When using two or more proteases, they may be used simultaneously or sequentially.

[0041] (15) Use 1M potassium chloride solution or wt2% SDS solution to wash away non-specifically adsorbed peptides on the enriched material.

[0042] (16) The peptides bonded on the enriched material were released using a 10% FA solution with the ability to cleave the broken groups on the linker arm, desalted, lyophilized and reconstituted for mass spectrometry analysis and data retrieval.

[0043] (17) The above sample pretreatment method is used to identify protein interaction networks in subcellular regions such as mitochondria or target protein regions in bacterial, fungal or human cell samples.

[0044] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0045] 1. Controllable reaction; by selecting cells with target regions or target proteins, a photoreaction is triggered at the other end after targeting the target region;

[0046] 2. In-situ reaction: The cross-linking reaction is carried out in situ within the cell, unlike the traditional method of extracting proteins into a lysate, thus preserving the state of the proteins and their interactions under physiological conditions. Attached Figure Description
