[0008] Background
[0009] Methods for measuring the strength and specificity of protein-ligand interactions are of central importance in biology. Ligands can interact with many different proteins, with aberrant interactions causing disease and undesired therapeutic side effects. Extensive profiles of binding affinity across the proteome are therefore required to understand ligand functions and binding selectivity, especially in drug development. Affinity measurements are typically performed separately for individual protein-ligand pairs, either using purified proteins, cell-based reporter protein systems, or competitive binding with a selective radioactive ligand.1These methods can efficiently measure the binding affinities of many different molecules for a single protein target, making them indispensable in drug development. However, target-based assays are only available for a fraction of the proteome, preventing an accurate assessment of binding selectivity in complex biological systems (Fig. 1, top).
[0010] Current approaches for proteome-wide affinity measurement rely on competitive binding to bead surfaces or solid supports or shifts in protein stability as mass spectrometry (MS)-quantifiable readouts of protein binding site occupancy. Bead-based methods (e.g. Kinobeads)6 11can offer affinity profiles for select categories of proteins such as kinases, but are not easily used with membrane proteins or live cells. While more general in scope, methods based on ligand-altered protein stability (cellular thermal shift assay, CETSA;
[0011] FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0012] limited proteolysis, LiP; peptide-centric local stability assay, PELSA) capture the subset of interactions which materially alter protein melting point (Am) or susceptibility to proteolytic degradation.12 20Specialized methods are also available for measuring DNA / RNA-protein binding affinities21,22and profiling the kinetic reactivity of covalent molecules with nucleophilic amino acids,23but these are not applicable to druglike noncovalent ligands. There remains an unmet need for a general affinity profiling platform equally applicable to diverse categories of noncovalent ligands, protein targets, and biological samples.
[0013] Summary
[0014] Photoaffinity labeling offers a potentially advantageous proteomic readout for affinity profiling. Like a radioligand binding assay24, photocrosslinking works with membrane and non-membrane proteins, is compatible with live cells, and is not impacted by protein physical properties such as molecular weight or melting point.25,26Recently, photocatalytic labeling platforms (e.g. pMap, Photag, Lux -MS, MultiMap)27 31have been introduced that amplify crosslinking efficiency, leading to their widespread adoption. Despite their versatility, photolabeling methods have only been used to qualitatively nominate potential binding targets rather than quantitatively measure binding affinity.32,33The present invention uses labeling by photocatalytic probes to accurately measure the protein binding affinities (Ka) of unmodified, non-photocatalytic ligands, enabling robust affinity profiling. If protein labeling is proportional to binding site occupancy by a photocatalyst-conjugated probe, treatment with a competing ligand would afford a dosedependent reduction in labeling. The relationship between labeling signal and probe / ligand concentrations can therefore be modeled using standard competitive binding kinetics. Such a method would be akin to a global radioligand competition assay with a protein-level readout, enabling general Ka determination via MS measurement of the photocatalytically labeled proteome.
[0015] In certain aspects, the present disclosure provides a new platform, Affinity Map, which combines efficient labeling chemistry, high-throughput MS proteomics, and a tailored data processing pipeline to measure binding affinities between ligands and the proteome. To demonstrate the generality of this method, its compatibility with major

C) Volcano plots for labeling optimization of dasatinib photoaffinity probe irradiation time and concentration with CSK highlighted as a target kinase. CSK was selected to benchmark labeling as it is the only kinase detected in all samples. The Affinity Map in the main text FIG. 2 and FIG. 15E used for comparison to photocatalytic probes was done with 5-minute irradiation at a 10-fold higher starting concentration as this result gave the best enrichment of CSK. Data was collected according to Method 13 with a two-arm comparison between probe and vehicle versus probe and dasatinib at the indicated concentrations. Each arm of each volcano plot was conducted in triplicate. D) Affinity Map performed using Dasatinib-Diazirine-Alkyne probe at concentration identical to photocatalytic probes with 20-minute irradiation when >95% of probe is consumed. Data was obtained following Method 13 with the concentrations shown below. There is significant measurement of any kinases.

[0067] 1.8 with an in-silico generated spectral library (Methods 3-7 and 11, FIG. 24). After imputation (MinProb, MSnbase), and normalization (vsn, MSnbase) within each photocatalyst-dasatinib concentration sample group, integrated intensity data was fit to a logistic model to measure a EC50 for the dose-responsive reduction in intensity induced by competitive binding of unmodified dasatinib at each photocatalyst concentration for each protein identified in the proteome assuming a Hill coefficient of 1 for all proteins. These EC50 values were then used to generate a Schild plot to model competitive binding between dasatinib and dasatinib-photocatalyst conjugates, with the slope affording the ratio of dasatinib-protein and conjugate-protein dappand the intercept affording the dappof unmodified dasatinib. 1 performs better than 2, which gives reduced signal at low concentrations and elevated background signal at high concentrations due to high nonspecific binding, while diazirine-alkyne conjugate of dasatinib yields only weak signal intensity that enables marginal detection of the BTK-dasatinib interaction.
[0068] FIG. 17A-C shows Performance of 1, 2, and diazirine-alkyne for binding affinity profiling of dasatinib in cell lysate. A) Proteins and kinases with affinities passing FDR obtained using 1, 2, and diazirine-alkyne conjugates of dasatinib in K562 lysate, with the percentage of kinases among identified interactions. For dasatinib-diazirine- alkyne, a relaxed imputation filter was used to enable detection of affinities. B) Venn diagram of all kinases identified by each dasatinib conjugate. C) Venn diagram of kinases with dappidentified using a relaxed imputation filter. Relaxed imputation filter refers to constructing competition models on imputed intensity data for a given protein at a given probe concentration if at least one measured value is available, rather than >25% as is typically required for Affinity Map profiles. 1 afforded the largest number of proteins with significant measured dappvalues, the highest percentage of kinases among measured proteins, and identified all other kinases identified by 2 and diazirine-alkyne. The reduced number of measured dappvalues by 2 reflects its higher nonspecific binding, as demonstrated by lower competitive fold-changes for target proteins (FIG. 11), while the small number of identified values by non-photocatalytic diazirine-alkyne reflects inefficient crosslinking.
[0069] FIG. 18A-E shows Comparison of 1 vs. 2 for protein Kdappmeasurement, benchmarking against literature Kdappvalues measured using Kinobeads, and comparing

[0071] log(FC) vs. measured affinity. A) Venn diagram of protein targets with significant measured Kdappvalues identified in K562 cell lysate with either 1-dasatinib or 2-dasatinib.
[0072] B, C) Comparison of p dappvalues determined by 1-dasatinib and 2-dasatinib and published p dappvalues measured using the Kinobeads method. 1 enables the measurement of more kinases than is possible using 2, and reports slightly more accurate pVi'11values. Notably, the slope is near one, indicating that photocatalytic binding affinity profiling yields accurate Kdappvalues3A. D) Volcano plot showing enriched proteins in a two-group comparison (log2(FC) = log2(l pM l-dasatinib)-log2(l pM 1-dasatinib + 10 pM dasatinib)) color-coded by Affinity Map-measured binding affinity. E) Comparison of logio( aapp) values determined by probe 1 and fold change measured for enriched proteins in D.
[0073] FIG. 19A-C show the benchmarking Kdappestimation workflows for proteins with two significant EC50 measurements. Comparison of how different methods of estimating Kdappperform for proteins that have only two significant EC50 determinations, benchmarked against reported pKdappvalues measured using the Kinobeads method3A. As the error in a linear fit cannot be accurately determined using two data points, three methods were benchmarked for extracting estimated Kdappvalues in such cases using dasatinib binding affinity profiling data generated from K562 cell lysate using 1-dasatinib. A) Error-weighted mean of the two EC50 values from Equation 5 reported as Kdapp. B) Fitted Kdappfrom Equation 4 reported as Kdapp. TNK2 is excluded from comparison as pKdappreported is 19.08 due to erroneous results that can arise from two-point linear fitting. C) EC50 value at the minimum photocatalytic probe concentration reported as Kdapp. Based on these data, which showed similar performance for all methods, use the minimum value reporting method was chosen as the measurement made at the lowest concentration of the photocatalytic probe is the closest value to the y-intercept of the Schild plot, affording a more accurate estimate than would be produced by a weighted average for the Kdappof proteins that may have comparable affinities for both photocatalyst conjugates and free molecules3Awhile avoiding nonphysical results and statistical uncertainties inherent in two-point line fitting.

A) Venn diagram of protein kinases with significant Kdappmeasurements made via 1-dasatinib and protein kinases with significant Kdappmeasurements obtained in a published dataset generated using the Kinobeads method4A. B) Comparison of protein kinases in K562 lysate with significant measured Kdappvalues made via 1-dasatinib and protein kinases with measurable ATmvalues from a literature dataset generated using the CETSA method in lysate and live cells5A. C) Comparison of protein kinases in K562 lysate identified by Gao et. al. as interactors of a more promiscuous kinase ligand, staurosporine, using a limited proteolysis (LiP)-based method and reported protein kinases with measurable ATmvalues identified via CETSA5A,6A. D) Comparison of pKdappvalues determined using 1-dasatinib and reported pKdappvalues measured using the Kinobeads method. E) Comparison of pKdappvalues determined using Affinity Map and 1-dasatinib and reported pKdappvalues measured using recombinant protein assays7A.
[0078] F. Comparison of reported pKdappvalues measured using Kinobeads and reported pVi values measured by recombinant protein assays7A,8A. In comparison with previously reported data, binding affinity profiling via 1-dasatinib affords a distinct set of kinases and proteins associated with measurable Kdappvalues and performs well when compared against assays using activity -based measurement and recombinant proteins. No protein targets of dasatinib identified exclusively by CETSA are kinases. The accuracy of Affinity Map via 1-dasatinib benchmarked against in-vitro assays using activity-based measurements and recombinant proteins is similar to that obtained using Kinobeads.

[0377] In photocatalytic proximity labeling, a photocatalyst near a protein of interest is used to generate reactive intermediates. These reactive species then covalently tag proteins in close proximity to the photocatalyst, enabling their identification by MS. High spatial resolution methods use carbenes generated by sensitized photolysis of diazirines for proximity labeling due to their tight labeling radius (< 4 nm) and promiscuous reactivity. By using a small molecule targeting modality for the photocatalyst, small molecule binding targets are selectively labeled, while using a larger (ca. 30 nm) primary / secondary antibody
[0378] - 40 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0379] targeting modality enables protein-protein interaction discovery. However, currentgeneration photocatalysts for diazirine activation are either highly hydrophobic and waterinsoluble (2) or are anionic at physiological pH, are challenging to synthesize, and can present stability liabilities. These shortcomings have hindered widespread use of diazirine-based proximity labeling, preventing high throughput applications. Catalysts based on Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dmbpy) such as 2 are highly stable and synthetically tractable, leading to their common use in small molecule target-ID applications. However, hydrophobic photocatalysts exhibit high background labeling caused by nonspecific protein binding, limiting the maximum achievable difference in MS signal observed in competitive binding assays using small molecule photocatalyst conjugates and reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. An ideal photocatalyst for high throughput applications, such as binding affinity profiling, requires high solubility, bench stability, and good photocatalytic activity.
[0380] Described herein is the synthesis and characterization of 1, a novel iridium photocatalyst for proximity labeling. The complex is charge-neutral, light and heat stable, hydrophilic, and able to activate diazirine probes for catalytic labeling. This new catalyst demonstrated high aqueous solubility (Figs.8, 9), activates diazirine probes and maintains diazirine-sensitization activity after 30 minutes of blue light irradiation (Figs. 8, 9), has reduced nonspecific protein binding and associated MS background signal (Fig.9, 11), can effectively label the binding targets of small molecules using a small molecule targeting modality (Fig. 11), and identifies protein-protein interactions using a primary / secondary antibody targeting modality (Fig. 12). Further, it was shown that these improved properties enable enhanced binding affinity profiling (Fig. 13, 16) in comparison with 2. Overall, 1 represents a next-generation photocatalyst which exhibits improved physical properties and robust diazirine-sensitization activity for carbene-based proximity labeling applications in lysates / extracts and on cell surfaces, and is especially well-suited to high throughput methods such as binding affinity profiling.
[0381] Example 1. Design concept and analysis pipeline
[0382] Accurate affinity profiling requires that the MS signal introduced by photocatalytic labeling is highly specific to direct ligand binding targets. The pMap platform was selected, in which highly reactive carbenes selectively biotinylate the direct binding targets of a -41 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0383] photocatalyst-probe conjugate, to provide a MS readout to be used for modeling. The relationship between EC50, probe concentration, and KA values for both the probe and ligand are given by the Cheng-Prusoff equation34:
[0384] ligand
[0385] EC50= [probe]
[0386]
[0387] Kd
[0388] Using this relationship, linear regression can be used to obtain 7ifdllgandvalues by measuring EC50 at a series of probe concentrations. Notably, modification of a ligand to incorporate a bulky reporter moiety such as a photocatalyst typically weakens its binding affinity. When the relative affinity of the probe is much weaker than the ligand, its effect on the EC50 value approaches zero, such that EC50 = k'<illg:'"‘l. Therefore, accurate KALGANDmeasurement for the unmodified ligand would be possible even if the binding affinity of the probe is low, so long as sufficient MS signal from photocatalytic labeling is observed for a given protein.
[0389] A custom data processing pipeline was designed to determine proteome-wide unmodified ligand affinities, which was named Affinity Surveyor (Fig. 2A, 14). After normalization and imputation, MS data for a specific protein is subjected to logistic curve fitting at each probe concentration. EC50 values from each curve are then used to fit the ligand binding affinity using the Cheng-Prusoff equation, and p-values for all logistic models are combined to give the aggregate significance of data supporting a f<illga"<lmeasurement. For proteins with significant (p < 0.1) values for 7ifdllgand / ^dprobe, corrected values of 'dllgandare reported. In cases where KA1 lg and / 7ifdprobeis indistinguishable from zero (confidence interval < ±0.25) average EC50 values are reported as KAlgand. For proteins with insufficient data to model / Cll8a"d / / C|irolic. the EC50 measured at the lowest probe concentration is reported as a best estimate of KAlgandbecause incorporation of a bulky photocatalyst often makes 'dprobemuch larger than KA1 lgand. This is repeated for all detected proteins in the MS dataset, providing a proteome-wide binding affinity profile.
[0390] Example 2. Catalyst development
[0391] An optimized bioorthogonal photocatalyst, 1, was developed for the Affinity Map workflow (Fig. 2B). It was first attempted to use previously reported photocatalyst 232,33to assess competitive binding of small molecules. However, Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dmbpy) based - 42 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0392] catalysts are hydrophobic, leading to nonspecific protein binding, off-target labeling, and low water solubility. Reported catalysts27,35containing carboxylic acid moieties are more hydrophilic, but are challenging to synthesize and use on large scales. Photocatalyst 1 has high aqueous solubility, decreased nonspecific interactions with the proteome by mass spectrometry and plasma protein binding (PPB), no net charge, and robust bench stability (Fig. 7-11).
[0393] Example 3. Small molecule-protein affinity profiling.
[0394] Dasatinib was selected as a model ligand for initial experiments due to its large number of reported kinase binding affinities. To provide sufficient statistical power for useful affinity profiling, an experimental matrix was designed in which twelve ligand concentrations (vehicle, 100 pM-10 pM) were used at four photocatalytic probe (1-dasatinib) concentration (1 nM-1 pM in duplicate, 96 samples, Fig. 25), with a 60-minute incubation time. To facilitate large scale experiments and increase sample-to-sample consistency, a high throughput, 96-well plate format, two-day protocol for parallel photocatalytic labeling driven by 440 nm light, streptavidin enrichment, tryptic digestion, and preparation for MS analysis was developed (Fig. 2C, 24). MS data acquisition (timsTOF Pro 2) and protein quantification (DIA-NN, in silico library) generally required three days per affinity profile. After protein quantification, the data was subjected to the Affinity Surveyor pipeline to determine dasatinib targets. Notably, as binding may not have reached equilibrium for some targets and target concentrations are unknown, all measured KA values are reported as apparent affinities ( Tilipp) (Fig. 28).
[0395] Using a photocatalytic 1-dasatinib conjugate and the Affinity Map workflow in K562 lysate, )iappfor dasatinib against 28 kinases and 8 other proteins (many of which contain nucleotide binding sites) was unambiguously measured (Fig. 2D). Qualitative inspection of data collected for target proteins such as CSK and BTK revealed clear sigmoidal dose response curves at all 1-dasatinib probe concentrations (Fig. 16). The performance of 1-dasatinib, 2-dasatinib, and a dasatinib-diazirine-alkyne conjugate as reporter probes for affinity profiling was also compared. Using the more hydrophobic photocatalyst 2, fewer kinases with measurable affinity values were observed. Inspection of dose-response curves reveals lower on-target labeling efficiency at low catalyst concentrations and higher - 43 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0396] background signal at higher catalyst concentrations, reflecting labeling caused by nonspecific catalyst binding. In contrast, activation of a non-photocatalytic dasatinib-diazirine probe with 375 nm light led to far less efficient protein labeling than observed with 1-dasatinib, enabling measurement of only four kinase affinities. Previously reported photoaffinity and photocatalytic labeling methods compare protein crosslinking by a probe against a control, with the most differentially enriched proteins flagged as potential binding targets. Whether differential enrichment from protein labeling is correlated with affinity was evaluated. Treating K562 lysate with 1-dasatinib and either vehicle control or 10-fold excess dasatinib, it was found that the difference in enrichment was not well-correlated with affinity (Fig. 2E-F, 18). Indeed, many proteins with high affinity to dasatinib, including the well-characterized target BCR-ABL, have relatively low fold change due to variable and protein-specific MS intensity background signal. Proteins can have significant fold change but lack competitive binding curves, potentially representing false-positive hits caused by nonspecific binding, which are indistinguishable from real targets in standard two-group comparison but easily identified by logistic modeling in Affinity Map. dappvalues obtained using Affinity Map were close to literature Kinobead and in vitro affinities (Fig. 2G, 21),6’7’36including both values where the Kdllgand / Kdprobeis fully modeled and well constrained or estimated due to a lack of sufficient data for Cheng-Prusoff modeling. Notably, Kdappvalues were measured for more kinase targets than were identified in a recently reported CETSA experiment performed in K562 lysate, which identified five kinases with measurable ATmvalues despite MS detection of many kinases that were successfully profiled by Affinity Map (Fig. 2H, 21). One protein identified by CETSA, ADK,13lacked a known affinity for dasatinib. It was confirmed this interaction using Affinity Map, measuring an affinity of 1.6 pM. Three kinase targets were observed via Affinity Map (PKN3, CKN1D, and RIPK1) that were previously unknown. Therefore, an in vitro activity assay (PhosphoSens) was used to validate these interactions. Two kinases gave values very similar to those measured via Affinity Map (RIPK1, 3.0 pM vs. 3.6 pM; CSNK1D, 4.1 pM vs. 3.6 pM), while PKN3 was assayed within approximately one log of the Affinity Map value (Fig. 3 A, 22).
[0397] To test the false positive discovery rate of Affinity Map, a highly selective small molecule, (+)-JQl (Fig. 3B) was profiled, which is an inhibitor of bromodomain containing
[0398] - 44 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0399] proteins BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4. Using (+)-JQl and l-(+)-JQl, competitive labeling at the intact protein level in the presence of BSA as a nonspecific binding control was measured. A clear sigmoidal dose-response curve was observed by streptavidin western blot (Fig. 3C-D, 13), further validating our logistic model of photocatalytic protein biotinylation. In K562 cell lysate, Affinity Map accurately captures the selectivity of this compound (Fig. 3E), exclusively reporting measurable binding affinities for these three proteins. Measured )iappvalues are close to previously reported values obtained by isothermal calorimetry with purified BRD domains (Fig. 3F).37
[0400] The applicability of the Affinity Map workflow to protein extracts from human organs was next evaluated (Fig. 3G). Liver microsomes generated through mechanical organ disruption contain metabolic enzymes and are commonly used to evaluate the stability of small molecules. (+)-JQl targeted Affinity Map was performed using pooled human liver S9 fraction, a minimally processed homogenate containing microsomes and globular proteins. )iappvalues were measured for BRD3, BRD4, AKR1B10 (a cytosolic aldo-keto reductase), in addition to microsome constituents CYP2J2 (a membrane-bound P450 enzyme) and UGT1A3 (a transmembrane glucuronosyltransferase). (+)-JQl affinity to SLCO1B 1 was further measured, a liver-specific plasma membrane organic ion transporter. These data highlight the potential utility of Affinity Map for profiling diverse sectors of the proteome directly in patient samples.
[0401] To further demonstrate the utility of Affinity Map in organ extracts, the interactions of flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist, in mouse brain membrane isolates were profiled, prepared according to radioligand binding assay protocols where endogenous GABA is washed out (Fig. 3H).38Flumazenil binds heteropentameric GABA receptors at the a and y subunit interface, known as the benzodiazepine site. Here, significant sigmoidal curve fits and accurate )iappvalues39were measured for two GABA receptor subunits, Gabrg2 ( 2 subunit) and Gabral (al subunit). A single sigmoid was measured for the a3 subunit but did not pass FDR likely due to its low MS intensity. Detection of other subunits (pi-3 and a2 / 4 / 6) that lack sigmoidal dose-response curves demonstrates subunit resolved affinity measurements directly at the a / y binding interface. Notably, the pentameric form of the GABA receptor binding flumazenil in whole mouse brain is composed primarily of al / 3 subunits, consistent with previous literature.40It is anticipated that Affinity Map in brain
[0402] -45 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0403] membrane isolates may be instrumental for profiling other neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions and their affinities.
[0404] Example 4. Pevtide-yrotein affinity profilins
[0405] Beyond drug-like small molecules, Affinity Map was next applied to profile the binding affinities of endogenous linear peptides and minimal binding motifs in proteins. Photocatalyst-peptide probes were prepared by reacting an iodoacetamide derivative of 1 and peptides bearing an appended N or C-terminal cysteine residue (Fig. 4A), and profiled affinities for each peptide in K562 cell lysate.
[0406] Affinity Map was first applied to a fragment of Smac, a mitochondrial protein that promotes cell death when present in the cytosol by binding inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins, leading to the release of active caspase enzymes. Using a 9 amino acid peptide (Fig.4B) as a minimal lAP-binding motif from Smac, Affinity Map identified IAP proteins XIAP and BIRC2 as the most significant interactions with affinities of 3.3 pM and 2.0 pM respectively. The measured binding affinities were comparable to reported data obtained in vitro with purified BIR domains and the same peptide (XIAP BIR3 / BIR2 domains: 0.43 pM / 6.0 pM).41As the workflow uses protein level enrichment, the obtained affinities represent an ensemble measurement of all peptide-BIR domain interactions within XIAP and BIRC2, each of which contain 3 unique BIR domains with different affinities for Smac.41Other IAPS, such as BIRC6, were not observed, which require multi-valent interactions with full-length Smac for binding.42Additionally, Affinity Map was performed for a 14 amino acid minimal binding motif from the protein SOS1 that binds the SH3 domain of GRB243,44GRB2 (Fig. 4C) was identified as a low affinity (5.6 pM) interactor of this peptide, consistent with a previous affinity measurement of 4 pM43
[0407] The binding affinities of several endogenous peptides (Fig. 4D-F) were also profiled: 1) a signal peptide fragment cleaved from the nascent HIV-1 gpl60 envelope protein during infection,452) a peptide translated from a noncanonical open reading frame (ncORF) from the SNHG6 long noncoding RNA (IncRNA),46and 3) a translated peptide from an upstream ORF (uORF) of the STAT1 gene.44
[0408] An affinity for a known interactor of the HIV-1 envelope protein was measured47and also measure the affinities of these three peptides to proteases that likely mediate - 46 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0409] their degradation. Unique proteases were identified for each peptide, consistent with their known cleavage sites (Fig. 23). As an example, the arginine rich peptide from the SNGH6 IncRNA ORF binds NRDC protease, which cleaves sites containing dibasic motifs.48This demonstrates the ability of Affinity Map to identify proteases relevant to the stability of endogenous peptides.
[0410] Example 5. Protein-protein and cyclic peptide-protein affinity measurement on live cell surfaces
[0411] It was hypothesized that Affinity Map would be compatible with live cells, enabling the measurement of ligand binding affinities for cell surface proteins in their native environment. Initially, it was sought to demonstrate affinity profiling on live cell surfaces using cyclic peptides, an emerging category of therapeutics and tool compounds.
[0412] The macrocyclic cRGDfK peptide is a high affinity integrin alpha-v beta-3 (aVps) antagonist that has been explored as a drug scaffold for glioma treatment.49In vitro assays for integrin-RGD peptide binding affinity and selectivity require purified integrins, and reported measurements using surface adhesion to live cells cannot discriminate between different integrin affinities.50,51A photocatalytic conjugate of cRGDfK was prepared by functionalizing the lysine residue with 1 via an amide linkage and treated live U87MG cells adhered to 6-well culture plates (16 plates, 96 wells) with 4 different probe concentrations and 12 concentrations of unmodified cRGDfK in complete media (Fig. 5A). Following irradiation, the cells were harvested and subjected to the Affinity Map workflow. Integrin P3 (ITGB3) had the most significant measurable binding affinity, with clear sigmoidal competition curves at multiple probe concentrations. These data represent the first measurement of cRGDfK selectivity and binding affinity (268 nM) in live cells. Beyond small molecules, carbene-based photocatalytic labeling methods have been previously used to identify the binding targets of proteins such as antibodies and the SARS-COV-2 spike protein on live cell surfaces.27,35In these experiments, labeling by photocatalyst-conjugated proteins is contrasted with a control lacking a photocatalyst targeting modality. It was reasoned that the Affinity Map platform could be generalized to profile the binding affinity of globular proteins to proteins on live cell surfaces. Currently, protein-protein affinities are measured using cell-based reporter protein systems or recombinant protein assays, and - 47 - FOLE YHO AGUS 13146434.108 Attorney Docket CUW-03825
[0413] no published methods are available for proteome-wide protein-protein binding affinity measurement.
[0414] As a proof of concept, it was aimed to profile the binding affinities between human IgG and proteins on live THP-1 cell surfaces (Fig. 5B). 1-IgG was synthesized as a photocatalytic protein probe using purified IgG from human serum and an activated NHS ester prepared through a strain-promoted click ligation between 1-DBCO and NHS-PEG3-N3 and used unmodified IgG as a competitive non-photocatalytic ligand. Live cells were then incubated with a 96-sample matrix of 1-IgG / IgG concentrations (Fig. 27), irradiated the mixtures for 15 minutes, lysed the cells, and subjected the lysate to the standard Affinity Map sample preparation and data processing pipeline.
[0415] Binding affinities closely matching literature values were measured for the major IgG receptors expressed by THP-1 cells, including FCGR1 A (55 nM; lit. 15 nM), FCGRIIB (2.9 pM; lit. 8.3 pM) and a set of peptides matching to both FCGRIIA and FCGRIIC (432 nM; lit. 190 nM / 8.3 pM).52The IgG affinity of TRIM21, an intracellular Fc receptor (136 nM; lit. -200 nM),53was also measured and additional proteins that are not known to directly bind IgG were identified, such as the monocyte checkpoint inhibitor proteins LILRB2 and LILRB4 at lower significance. Notably, these two proteins have closely aligned affinity values with Fc receptors, suggesting that they may represent distal Fc receptor interactions. Together, these data validate the ability of Affinity Map to measure the affinities between globular proteins and cell surface receptors, which are important metrics in the development of therapeutic antibodies.

Solvent was removed and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica (DCM: MeOH = 0% to 80% over 12 CVs) to afford the title compound as an opaque oil (0.330 g, 93%). Spectral data are consistent with existing literature28A.
[0681] Note: Trifluoromethyl diazirines can easily isomerize to diazo compounds under typical laboratory conditions (ambient lighting, room temperature, exposure to Lewis acids and transition metals). The diazo isomers are electrophilic, have shifted absorption spectra, and can cause non-specific background protein biotinylation in the presence or absence of catalyst. This, in turn, decreases observed fold change and can obfuscate results. Care should be taken to handle this compound in the dark and avoid extended storage at room temperature, as even trace quantities of diazo isomer can cause irreproducible results. The presence of diazo isomers in stock solutions must be routinely assayed via19F NMR (-CF3: -65.5 ppm for diazirine, -57.6 ppm for diazo).

[0780] Human Plasma Protein Binding
[0781] Assay was conducted by Pharmaron according to company protocol:
[0782] The working solution of test compound and control compound were prepared in DMSO at the concentration of 1 mM. A basic solution was prepared by dissolving 14.2 g / L Na2HPO4 and 8.77 g / L NaCl in deionized water and the solution could be stored at 4°C for up to 7 days. An acidic solution was prepared by dissolving 12.0 g / L NaH2PO4 and 8.77 g / L NaCl in deionized water and the solution could be stored at 4°C for up to 7 days. The basic solution was titrated with the acidic solution to pH 7.4 and store at 4°C for up to 7 days. pH was checked on the day of experiment and was adjusted if outside specification of 7.4 ± 0.1. Set the temperature of water bath to 37°C. Thaw the frozen Plasma (stored at -80°C) immediately in a 37°C water bath. Soak the dialysis membranes in ultrapure water for 60 minutes to separate strips, then in 20% ethanol for 20 minutes, finally in dialysis buffer for 20 minutes. Load the prepared membranes into the dialysis device and install the device again following manufacturers guidelines. Turn on air bath and allow to pre-heat to 37°C. If the dialysis membranes are not used immediately, they can be store at 4°C for no longer than 4 weeks. Add 597 pL of blank plasma solution into each vial of a new plastic plate or separate plastic tube by addition of 3 pL of the working solution of test compound, vortex at 1000 rpm for 2 minutes. The final percent volume of organic solvent is 0.5% and the final concentration for test compound is 5 pM.

[0785] the study. At the same time, the remaining spiked plasma solution sample in the plastic plate or separate plastic tube is incubated for 6 hours at 37 °C with 5% CO2 in the CO2 incubator.
[0786] At T=6 hours, transfer 50 pL of the original spiked plasma solution suspension to the 96- well plate for analysis. Assemble the dialysis set up following the manufacturer’s instructions. Load cells with 120 pL of plasma sample and dialyzed against equal volume of dialysis buffer (PBS). The assay is performed in duplicate. Cover the unit with gas permeable lid and incubate for 6 hours at 37 °C at 100 rpm with 5% CO2 on an orbital shaker in the CO2 incubator. At the end of incubation, remove lid and pipette 50 pL of post-dialysis samples from both buffer and plasma solution chambers into separated 96-well plate for analysis, respectively. Add 50 pL of plasma solution to the buffer samples, and an equal volume of PBS to the collected plasma solution samples. Shake the plate at 1000 rpm for 2 minutes and add 400 pL of acetonitrile containing an appropriate internal standard (IS) to precipitate protein and release compound. Vortex at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes. Centrifuge for 30 minutes at 3,220 g. Then transfer 100 pL of the supernatant to new 96-well plates for analysis. Add 100 pL of distilled water to each sample and mix for analysis by LC-MS / MS. All calculations are carried out using Microsoft Excel.

[0797] Comparison of catalysts each to isotype control in triplicate, 6 samples per catalyst, 12 samples total. 108Ramos (RA 1, CRL-1596) cells were harvested, cooled to 4 °C, pelleted, and washed 2x (DPBS 1% FBS), and pelleted (800 x g, 5 min). The following steps were all performed at 4 °C. The cell pellet was resuspended in DPBS 1% FBS (10 mL) and evenly split into 0.5 mL aliquots in 1.5 mL capped centrifuge tubes. Cells were pelleted (800 x g, 5 min) and resuspended in DPBS 1% FBS (0.2 mL) containing 5 pg anti-CD19 primary (SJ25C1, IgGl) or isotype control (mouse IgG, Santa Cruz sc-2025) and continuously inverted end over end at 4 °C for 1 hour. Samples were then pelleted (800 x g, 5 min), washed with DPBS 1% FBS (0.6 mL, lx), and resuspended in DPBS 1% FBS (0.2 mL) containing 10 pg goat-anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to appropriate catalyst and continuously inverted end over end at 4 °C for 2 hours. Samples were then pelleted (800 x g, 5 min), washed with DPBS (0.6 mL, lx), and resuspended in DPBS (0.2 mL) containing 250 pM Dz-Bt. Samples were irradiated with 440 nm light using the apparatus in Method 3 for 15 minutes, then washed with DPBS (0.6 mL, 3x). Cells were resuspended in RIPA (Millipore, 20-188) containing 1% SDS (0.4 mL) and sonicated in a cup horn sonicator (Method 1) for 15 minutes (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off at 60% intensity). Samples were heated to 95 °C for 5 minutes, then centrifuged (15,000 x g, 10 minutes) to remove insoluble debris. 375 pL of supernatant was transferred to new 1.5 mL tubes. DTT (20 pL, 100 mM) was added to each sample, and the samples heated to 95 °C for 5 minutes. After allowing the sample to cool to room temperature, iodoacetamide was added (15 pL, 200 mM) and incubated in the dark. After 30 minutes, 150 pL streptavidin beads (Cytiva, 30152104010350) were added to each sample and the samples inverted end over end for 2 days at room temperature. Samples were then processed according to Methods 5-9 and Method 11 and protein abundances separately compared between the antiCD 19 and isotype treated samples for each catalyst.

[0801] (5.08 pL, 13.79 pM), Dz-Bt (186.7 pL, 400 pM) and lx PBS (46.12 pL, pH 7.4). To a separate 1.5 mL capped centrifuge tube was added (+)-JQl (12 pL of 4x desired concentration, in PBS + 2% DMSO) followed by a solution of the proteins described above (24 pL). This was incubated on ice for 15 minutes. l-(+)-JQl (12 pL, 0.4 pM, PBS + 1% DMSO) was added, and the mixture incubated on ice for 15 minutes (final volume 48 pL, 0.75% DMSO). Samples were then degassed with argon and irradiated with 440 nm light for 20 minutes according to Method 3. The sample was diluted with 4x Laemlli buffer with 10% BME (12 pL) and heated to 95 °C for 10 minutes. The samples were cooled to room temperature and centrifuged. The samples were loaded onto a Novex 10-20% tris-glycine gel with protein ladder (Biorad Cat. 1610373) in freshly prepared Tris running buffer and subjected to electrophoresis (200 V, 45 min). The gel was washed (3x DI H2O) and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane using a Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (BioRad 1704150). The membrane was immersed in REVERT total protein stain (Li-Cor 926-11011) for 10 minutes. Stain was removed, the membrane washed (33.5:150:316.5, AcOH: MeOH: H2O, 3x 5 minutes), rinsed with water, and imaged using a Li-Cor Odyssey CLx scanner at 700 nm. The membrane was immersed in 30% MeOH in 100 mM aqueous NaOH for 10 minutes, washed with this solution (2x), rinsed with water (3x), and incubated with Intercept Blocking Buffer (Li-Cor, 927-60001) for 1 hour. The blocking buffer was decanted and the membrane was incubated with 10 mL IX TBST containing 1:10,000 dilution of IRDye 800 CW streptavidin (Li-Cor 926-32230) for 1 hour. The buffer was decanted and the membrane washed with IX TBST (3x 5 minutes) and water before imaging using a Li-Cor Odyssey CLx scanner at 800 nm. Pixel densitometry was performed in Image Studio V. 5.5.4. Streptavidin 800 nm channel signal was divided by total protein signal in the 700 nm channel to determine the protein abundance-normalized biotinylation signal for each protein band. Experiment performed in triplicate, whole gel images shown in Fig. 29).
[0802] K562 cell lysate was treated with diazirine-biotin at 200 pM, 1, 2, or diazirine alkyne conjugates of Dasatinib at 1 pM, 100 nM, 10 nM, or 1 nM, and unmodified Dasatinib at concentrations ranging from 100 pM to 10 pM in half-log increments in duplicate (96 total samples, method 1-2, FIG. 21). After irradiation, protein precipitation, resuspension, reduction / alkylation, IP, and tryptic digestion, peptides were analyzed via

[0804] nano-UHPLC / IM / MS / MS in DIA mode using a nanoElute 2 / timsTOF Pro 2 MS system and the resulting data processed using DIANN 1.8 with an in-silico generated spectral library (methods 3-10). After imputation (MinProb) (75A, 16A), and normalization (vsn) within each photocatalyst-Dasatinib concentration sample group, integrated intensity data was fit to a logistic model to measure a EC50 for the dose-responsive reduction in intensity induced by competitive binding of unmodified Dasatinib at each photocatalyst concentration for each protein identified in the proteome assuming a Hill coefficient of 1 for all proteins. These EC50 values were then used to generate a Schild plot to model competitive binding between Dasatinib and Dasatinib-photocatalyst conjugates, with the slope affording the ratio of Dasatinib-protein and conjugate-protein apparent Kas and the intercept affording the KA (app.) of unmodified Dasatinib. 1 performs better than 2, which gives reduced signal at low concentrations and elevated background signal at high concentrations due to high nonspecific binding, while diazirine-alkyne conjugate of Dasatinib yields only very weak signal intensity that enables only marginal detection of the BTK-Dasatinib interaction.
[0805] AssayQuant Kinase Activity Assay:
[0806] Three kinases, PKN3, CK1D, and RIPK1 were assayed for inhibition by dasatinib using the PhosphoSens CSox-based kinetic assay. Each kinase was treated with either vehicle or dasatinib at 11 concentrations across a three-fold dilution series (final concentration of dasatinib: 100 pM, 33.3 pM,..., 1.69 nM) in technical duplicate. Individual reactions were set up as follows: 11.7 pL reaction mixture (HEPES, Brij-35, EGTA, MgCl2, DTT, ATP, & CSx Substrate), 0.3 pL 50X inhibitor in 100% DMSO, 3.0 uL enzyme dilution buffer (EDB - 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Brij-35, 5% Glycerol, ImM EGTA, 1 mM DTT, 1 mg / ml BSA) or a 5X kinase in EDB.

[0818] Method 1. Pooled cell lysate preparation
[0819] For a single 96-sample experiment, 2.2 x 108K562 cells were collected by centrifugation (800 x g, 5 min, 20 °C), and washed twice with 40 mL of cold PBS. Cells were resuspended in 10.6 mL cold (4 °C) PBS in a 50 mL conical tube and lysed by sonication (QSonica Q500 with cup horn, 4 °C, 3 cycles of 60% amplitude, 4 seconds on / off for 64 seconds). Lysate was examined under a brightfield microscope (1:1 lysate:trypan blue 0.4%) to ensure complete lysis. The lysate was cleared by centrifugation (2,500 x g, 15 min, 4 °C). Concentrated diazirine-PEG3-biotin (Dz-Bt) dissolved in cold PBS (600 p. M, 7.04 mL) was added to the cleared lysate and diluted with cold PBS to 21.1 mL to give a final concentration of 200p.

[0821] Method 2. In vitro lysate treatment with photocatalyst-conjugated small molecules / peptides and free small molecules / peptides.
[0822] 200 pL (400 pg protein) of pooled K562 cell lysate was aliquoted into 128-strip cluster tubes (96 tubes) in a rack and kept on ice. Preprepared 96- well plates (compound plates, Fig. 25) containing 3 pL of a DMSO solution containing appropriate concentrations of compounds (or vehicle DMSO) were used for 1) free small molecule addition and 2) probe addition. 1) All wells in the first compound plate (free small molecules) were diluted with 27 pL room temperature PBS and then 20 pL of each well was added to the correspond cluster tube containing 200 pL of lysate (120-fold dilution) and incubated on ice for 20 minutes. 2) All wells in the second compound plate (probe) were diluted with 34.5 pL room temperature PBS and 20 pL of each well was added to the correspond cluster tube containing 200 pL of lysate (150-fold dilution) and incubated on ice for 20 minutes (final volume 240 pL, final concentrations small molecule / probe tabulated below). The plate setup presented here, and the concentration range used for most molecules in this manuscript (0.1 nM-10 pM ligand, 1 nM - 1 pM probe) is designed to capture affinities in the 1 nM-10 pM range. Based on predicted ligand binding regime a shifted or extended concentration range could be used. For example, for ligands with weaker affinities a higher concentration regime can be used (100 nM-1 mM range for ligand, 1 pM-100 pM for probe). In these experiments, ligand concentration may be increased as high as solubility allows. For the IgG and dasatinib-diazirine-alkyne experiments (Fig. 27, Methods 13 and 18) concentrations were increased by an order of magnitude in this way. Samples were then argon degassed, irradiated with 440 nm light, and protein was precipitated as detailed in the methods described herein.

Samples were then irradiated using the apparatus shown below. This setup was shown to achieve uniform irradiation of 96 cluster tubes using ferrioxalate-based actinometry (Fig. 26). Immediately following irradiation, 240 pF of -20 °C MeOH and 60 pL of CHCI3 were added to each cluster tube and mixed, precipitating denatured protein. Samples were centrifuged (2,500 x g, 10 min, 4 °C), affording a protein disk suspended between the MeOH and CHCI3 layers. Solvent was carefully aspirated without disrupting the protein disk, then 500 pL of -20 °C MeOH was added to each cluster tube and the protein disk disrupted via sonication (Qsonica Q500 with cup horn, 4 °C, 3 cycles of 60% Amplitude, 4 sec on / off). Samples were centrifuged (2,500 x g, 10 min, 4 °C), resulting in a protein pellet at the bottom of each cluster tube. The MeOH was aspirated, and protein pellets were either carried forward or stored at -80 °C.

[0863] K-562 (CCL-243) and THP-1 (TIB-202) cells were purchased from ATCC. K-562 and THP-1 cells were cultured at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in RPMI 1640 complete medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and penicillin-streptomycin (100 U / mL final concentration, Gibco). Subculturing and medium renewal were performed according to ATCC’s product sheets for each cell line. Unless otherwise noted, cells were grown in 25 cm2, 75 cm2or 150 cm2canted neck, vented cap sterile cell culture flasks. Method 13. Dasatinib-diazirine-alkyne labeling
[0864] K562 cell lysate was prepared according to Method 1. Lysate (0.2 mL, 2 mg / mL) was transferred to cluster tubes and treated with compounds as described in Method 2 (using dasatinib-dz-alkyne instead of 1-dasatinib at the concentrations shown) and irradiated using the same apparatus as Fig.26 with 100-watt 375 nm LEDs for 5 minutes.
[0865] 34 pL of 7x protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, 11836170001 ) was then added, and biotin-PEG4-azide (2.74 pL, 10 mM in DMSO), CuSO4(1.37 pL, 50 mM in H2O), THPTA (6.85 pL of 10 mM in H2O), and sodium ascorbate (13.7 pL, 50 mM in H2O, freshly made) added, in that order. Note that order of addition is important, adding the first three reagents together as a cocktail and sodium ascorbate last. Samples were inverted end over end for 1 hour at room temperature. Then 280 pL of -20 °C MeOH and 70 pL of CHCL were added to each cluster tube and mixed, precipitating denatured protein. Samples were centrifuged (2,500 x g, 10 min, 4 °C), affording a protein disk suspended between the MeOH and CHCI3 layers. Solvent was carefully aspirated without disrupting the protein disk, then 500 pL of -20 °C MeOH was added to each cluster tube and the protein disk disrupted via sonication (Qsonica Q500 with cup horn, 4 °C, 3 cycles of 60% Amplitude, 4 sec on / off).

[0888] Method 16. Live U87MG cell treatment with 1-cRGDfK and free cRGDfk and labeling with 440 nm light irradiation.
[0889] 15 cm plates with U87MG cells were washed once with DPBS (10 mL), detached by incubation with TrypLE™ Express Enzyme (Gibco, 5 mL, 5 min, 37 °C), and collected by centrifugation (800 x g, 5 min, 20 °C). Cells were resuspended in DMEM 1640 complete medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and penicillin- streptomycin (100 U / mL final concentration, Gibco) and passed through cell strainers to help dissociate clumping cells. 4 x 6-well treated cell culture plates were seeded with 5 x 105 U87MG cells and allowed to grow until confluent (~3 days). The media was aspirated and 400 L of phenol red-free media containing 200 p. M diazrine- PEG3-biotin (Dz-Bt) was pipetted over the adherent cells in each well. The appropriate concentration of unconjugated cRGDfK was added (40 pL) or a vehicle control to each well and cells incubated on ice for 20 minutes. Cells were then treated with the appropriate concentration of 1-cRGDfK (40 p. L) and incubated on ice for 20 minutes (final volume 240 p. L, 160 p. M Dz-Bt, final concentrations free cRGDFk / probe tabulated in SI Method 16 and shown below). Each 6-well plate was then irradiated for 15 minutes at 4 °C. Following irradiation, cells were released from the plate with 1 mL of cold PBS, transferred to a 1.5 mL tube, and pelleted by centrifugation (800 x g, 5 min, 4 °C). The supernatant was aspirated, and cell pellets were frozen at -80 °C. This experiment was repeated for each concentration of 1-cRGDfK (1 pM, 100 nM, 10 nM, or 1 nM), thus four separate groups of four plates were seeded then treated on separate days (4 concentrations x 4 plates x 6 wells = 96 wells total).

[0937] 2 x 6-well treated cell culture plates were seeded with 5 x 105U87MG cells and allowed to grow until confluent (~3 days). The media was aspirated and 400 pL of phenol red-free media was pipetted over the adherent cells in each well. DMSO (40 pL) was added to each well and cells were incubated on ice for 20 minutes. Cells were then treated with the free catalysts (1 and 2) or a vehicle control (40 pL, 120 pM) and incubated on ice for 20 minutes (final volume 480 pL, 10 pM catalyst). Each 6-well plate was then irradiated for 15 minutes at 4 °C. Following irradiation, cells were released from the plate, stained with trypan blue (1:1 with 0.4%, VWR), and cell viability was calculated with a Countess 3 (Invitrogen).

The tubes were degassed with argon, placed 17.8 cm above two 440 nm 100 W COB LED lights (Fig.26), and irradiated for 15 minutes. 100 pL of deuterium oxide was added to the tubes, and samples were transferred to NMR tubes and analyzed by19F NMR spectroscopy. Quantitation was done relative to IS and comparing against a negative control in which the photocatalyst is absent.
[0942] Method 22. Affinity profiling dasatinib with longer incubation time
[0943] K562 cell lysate was prepared according to Method 1. Lysate (0.2 mL, 4 mg / mL) was transferred to cluster tubes and treated with compounds as described in Method 2, but incubation periods were extended to 1 hour instead of 20 minutes for each compound treatment. Sample were irradiated, prepped, and subjected to mass spectrometry according to Methods 3-7, and analyzed using Method 11.
[0944] Method 23. Pooled membrane preparation from whole mouse brains (Flumazenil Affinity Map)
[0945] Based on a modified literature procedure18A, 3 male CD-I (ICR) mouse brains (BioIVT, MSEOOBRAIN-0102904) were thawed on ice for 25 minutes then resuspended in 10 volumes ice cold lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, containing protease inhibitor cocktail - Roche, 11836170001, approximately 5 mL per brain). The organs were homogenized (Bio-Gen PRO200 Homogenizer) on ice using at medium intensity (6 pulses x 10 seconds). As an initial clearing step, the homogenate was centrifuged (1,000 x g for 10 min at 4 °C) to obtain supernatant. The supernatant was transferred to ultracentrifuge tubes and centrifuged (40,000 x g for 20 minutes at 4 °C; Beckman SW 32 Ti swinging bucket rotor). The supernatant was decanted and discarded and replaced with fresh ice-cold lysis buffer. The pellet was resuspended by homogenization (5 pulses x 10 seconds) and the centrifugation-homogenization was repeated 2 additional times for a total of 3 ultracentrifugations to ensure complete homogenization and wash out of endogenous

The final pellet was resuspended in a minimal amount of ice- cold protease-inhibitor-free lysis buffer and protein concentration was determined by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. The freshly prepared membrane suspension was never frozen and used as prepared. Concentrated diazirine-PEG7 -biotin (Dz-Bt) dissolved in cold Tris-HCl was added for a final concentration of 200 pM and a 1 mg / mL protein concentration. The membrane suspension was then aliquoted across 96 cluster tubes (200 pL, 200 pg per sample). Compound treatment and sample processing was then performed according to methods 2-6, 8, 24, and 11 (plate layout in Fig. 25).
[0948] Method 24. Proteomic data acquisition (medium sensitivity).
[0949] Samples (flumazenil Affinity Map experiment only) were analyzed using a Bruker nanoElute 2 / timsTOF Pro 2 nano-UHPLC-IM / MS / MS system using a two- column nano-UHPLC separation method and data independent analysis (DIA) MS method. Oasis HLB plate desalted samples (5 pL) were loaded on a trap column (Waters nanoEase M / Z Symmetry C18 Trap, 2 cm x 180 pm, 5 pm particle size, Part No.:

[0968] Peptide identification and quantification - DIA
[0969] Peptide identification and quantification were performed using DIANN 1.8 or 1.9 19A,20A using a library generated in-silico from the human proteome (Uniprot, 12 / 05 / 2022). Digestion was set as “Trypsin / P” (K / R cuts), a maximum of one missed cleavage was allowed, peptide length set to 7-30, charge set to 1-4, precursor mass range set to 300-1800, and using a fragment ion m / z range of 200-1800. Modifications were considered as variable for methionine oxidation, acetylation of N-terminus, N-terminal methionine excision, and cysteine carbamidomethylation. The precursor false discovery rate was set to 1%, mass accuracy and MSI accuracy to 12.5 ppm, and scan window set to 0 with likely inferences removed. Isotopologues and match between runs were enabled. Searches were conducted in double-pass mode using robust, high precision liquid chromatography quantification strategy, protein inference set to genes, library generation set to smart profiling, speed and RAM usage set to optimal results, and with cross-run normalization disabled.
[0970] Preprocessing
[0971] Preprocessing of DIANN output files (report.pg_matrix.tsv, report.pr_matrix.tsv) was done in R (4.4.1) using the MSnbase package separately for each set of samples treated with a given concentration of photocatalyst conjugate. Proteomics data was subjected to variance stabilization normalization (‘vsn’) and left-censored missing value imputation (‘MinProb’) using default settings2IA-22A, reducing noise introduced by sample injection and enabling improved fitting performance for low abundance proteins, and the number of peptides used to quantify each protein determined from the peptide-level report and then added as metadata. Once complete, individually processed MSnSet datasets were combined into a single table.

[0975] Affinity Surveyor.
[0976] Our approach for apparent (non-equilibrium) binding affinity (A)iapp) elucidation is analogous to a proteome-wide radioligand competitive binding assay, in which streptavidin IP / MS intensity is used as an indirect readout of competitive protein binding site occupancy by a photocatalyst conjugate probe and a competing ligand molecule with distinct Af<iHppvalues (7<fdllgandand Af<iprohc). As photocatalytic proximity labeling measured by mass spectrometry is more complex than a simple radioactivity readout corresponding to receptor occupancy, two assumptions are made to constrain the kinetic model: 1) the MS intensity difference of proteins obtained from streptavidin / biotin IP induced by photocatalyst off-compete by a non-photocatalytic ligand is directly proportional to the occupancy of a single binding site by the photocatalyst conjugate, and 2) protein labeling does not materially alter affinity for the probe or ligand molecules. With these constraints in place, a rearranged Cheng-Prusoff equation can be used to independently solve for the 'dappvalues for each molecule58using protein intensities derived from photocatalytic labeling experiments where the concentrations of both the probe and ligand molecules are systematically varied. All reported affinity profiling experiments use four concentrations of the photocatalyst conjugate and 12 concentrations of competitive non-photocatalytic molecule in duplicate, for a total of 96 samples.
[0977] Affinities were measured in Python (3.12.2). The EC50 of competitive binding of a ligand molecule to each protein in the proteome at each photocatalytic probe concentration

[0979] for which < 25% of values are imputed is modeled using Equation 1, assuming a Hill coefficient of 1:
[0980] > (1)
[0981]
[0982] i + where [L] = competitive ligand molecule concentration, y = integrated MS intensity for a protein, and a (maximum intensity minus minimum intensity), c (minimum intensity), and the EC50 (concentration of ligand molecule displacing 50% of the quantity of probe molecule present in the absence of competition) are all freely optimized parameters. Nonlinear fitting for Equation 1 was performed using Imfit.59
[0983] During optimization, the initial value for c is set to the global minimum intensity detected from all proteins and samples and the initial a value is set to the maximum of the signal intensity value in samples used for curve fitting. The significance (p-value) of the fit is determined by performing a one-way F-test with the SciPy ‘stats’ module, comparing Equation 1 to the reduced model y = a, representing a null hypothesis in which there is no relationship between ligand molecule concentration and signal intensity. Each competitive model is fit 30 times with different initial values set for the EC50 parameter drawn from a random uniform distribution between -5 and 3 (two order of magnitude beyond the range of concentrations used), retaining the result with the most significant fit. The impact of removing the data point corresponding to treatment with vehicle in place of the unmodified ligand was then tested by repeating the nonlinear fitting process and evaluating whether inclusion of vehicle is required for the fit to remain significant. Fits whose significance depends on the inclusion of the vehicle are removed.
[0984] The relationship between KA and EC50 for pseudo-first order binding kinetics, i.e. at low concentrations of protein ([Protein] « [Ligand]), is described by the Cheng-Prusoff equation34according to Equation 2:
[0985] ligand > >
[0986]
[0987]
[0988] [probe]1probe
[0989]
[0990] where [probe] = probe concentration, A)illgand= dissociation constant of ligand molecule, 'dprobe> dissociation constant of photocatalytic probe, and EC50 = EC50 of competitive binding by the ligand molecule at each probe molecule concentration. Equation 2 can be expressed as Equation 3, a Schild plot:

[0996] As EC50 errors are measured in logarithmic space, the Schild plot is modeled in logarithmic space as well (Equation 4) using curve_fit in the scipy. optimize package60:

The 'dappof the free molecule (often a drug, metabolite, peptide, or protein of interest) will be different from an observed EC50 by an amount proportional to the ratio of the probe and ligand affinities multiplied by the concentration of its photocatalyst conjugate. As the affinity or concentration of a probe photocatalyst conjugate becomes weaker, the / C1'83"'1value of the unconjugated molecule approaches the measured EC50 value.
[1001] For each protein observed, EC50 determination was performed at each photocatalytic probe concentration and use significant (p < 0.001) values of the ECso to measure 'dprobeand A'<il lgandvia the Cheng-Prusoff equation. Individual proteins have widely varying affinity for the photocatalyst conjugated probe and unmodified ligand molecule; the vast majority do not display any significant EC50 values at any value of [probe], reflecting that they do not bind either the probe or ligand molecules. Other proteins which do bind both the probe and ligand molecules within the range of concentrations used show significant EC50 values. These are then subjected to Cheng-Prusoff analysis to calculate ATiprohcand Kd1 lgand. A tiered approach is used to estimate binding affinities for proteins based on the number of significant EC50 values observed for each protein:
[1002] 1. Three or more significant EC50 values at different probe concentrations, measurable K1 lgand / k'<i|irolic: A iprohcand K,\lgandare directly measured by fitting the data to Equation 4. If the significance of the modeled slope ( f<illga"<l / iprohc) is significant (p < 0.1), both values are reported along with the error from fitting. If the slope is not significant (p > 0.1) and data is tightly distributed (confidence interval < ±0.25), the relative affinity for the probe ligand vs. the ligand molecule is too low to accurately measure. At this limit

The weighted average of EC50 values is determined by Equation 5, where / is the weighted average, N is the total number of EC50 used for fitting, i indicates the EC50 values and cr (standard error) of EC50 from fitting in Equation 1 at each value of [probe]. All such proteins are flagged as having modeled A)illgand / ^dprobevalues.

The weighted average EC50 value (calculated using Equation 5) is therefore reported, reflecting the null hypothesis A)illgand / '<i|irolic~ 0).
[1008] 3. Two significant EC50 values at different probe concentrations: Curve fitting with two points cannot afford an accurate estimation of error in the resulting fit. The value measured at the lowest photocatalytic probe concentration is therefore reported as a best estimate of 'dllgandas it is the closest empirical value to the y-intercept in the Schild plot.

[1011] For each protein, the total significance of the data used for A)illgandestimation is reported as the Fisher combined p-values of all fitted EC50 values observed, and this aggregated p-value is then subjected to Benmamini-Hochburg FDR estimation to account for multiple hypothesis testing and represents the significance of all evidence used to support a reported k'<ill8a"‘lvalue. For most proteins, k'<ill8a"‘l / 'dprobeis small because attaching the photocatalyst to a ligand significantly reduces its affinity ( '(illga"‘l« 'dprobe), consistent with the impact of attaching other types of photoaffinity labels; in such cases, weighted average EC50 values give very good estimates of )iappbecause the influence of photocatalytic probe concentration on any observed EC50 value is small.

In scenarios with exactly two significant EC50 values, using the EC50 value obtained at the lower value of photocatalyst concentration provides an improved estimate as it is measured closer to the value of 'dllgandin the Schild plot.
[1014] It was found that the assumption of small values for f<i1 l a"'1 / k'<i|irolicis valid in data generated using photocatalytic affinity profiling for dasatinib, which shows good correlation with reported affinities for kinases with 'dllgandvalues measured using three or more, two, or one significant EC50 value (Fig. 20, Figure 2G). Indeed, correlation between Xdllgandvaiuesmeasured by photocatalytic affinity profiling and literature values is good and has a slope near one, reflecting the validity of both the broader assumptions made to constrain the kinetic model used for analysis and the tiered data processing pipeline approach described herein.

Lysate (0.2 mL, 2 mg / mL) was transferred to cluster tubes and treated with compounds (two experiments detailed in SI Method 13 and Fig. 15) and irradiated using the same apparatus as Fig. 26 with 100-watt 375 nm LEDs for 5 minutes. 34 pL of 7x protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, 11836170001) was then added, and biotin-PEG4-azide (2.74 pL, 10 mM in DMSO), CuSO4 (1.37 pL, 50 mM in H2O), THPTA (6.85 pL of 10 mM in H2O), and sodium ascorbate (13.7 pL, 50 mM in H2O, freshly made) added, in that order. Note that order of addition is important, adding the first three reagents together as a cocktail and sodium ascorbate last. Samples were inverted end over end for 1 hour at room temperature. Then 280 pL of -20 °C MeOH and 70 pL of CHC13 were added to each cluster tube and mixed, precipitating denatured protein. Samples were centrifuged (2,500 x g, 10 min, 4 °C), affording a protein disk suspended between the MeOH and CHC13 layers. Solvent was carefully aspirated without disrupting the protein disk, then 500 pL of -20 °C MeOH was added to each cluster tube and the protein disk disrupted via sonication (Qsonica Q500 with cup horn, 4 °C, 3 cycles of 60% Amplitude, 4 sec on / off).

[1038] Discussion
[1039] Affinity Map enables improved measurement of polypharmacology at critical decision points in drug development, identifying off-target interactions which contribute to toxicity and undesired side effects. Many such interactions cannot be detected with existing affinity profiling methods due to incompatibility between specific protein physical properties and assay requirements. Hits from qualitative target-ID experiments can either lack activity- based assays or can be challenging to isolate, preventing direct affinity measurement using in vitro approaches. Affinity Map bypasses these limitations by offering a completely target- agnostic binding affinity measurement platform.
[1040] Notably, Affinity Map requires the synthesis of a photocatalytic probe for competition experiments with the corresponding unmodified ligand of interest. Incorporation of the photocatalyst can disrupt target binding, requiring assessment of structure- activity relationships in probe design, and some molecules cannot be easily modified; these represent key limitations of all label-based methods in chemical biology. Affinity Map may be viewed as a complementary approach to label-free methods such as CETSA, which do not require probe molecules as competitive ligands but can fail to identify target proteins if they lack significant ligand-induced stability shifts.
[1041] In developing Affinity Map, the first scalable photocatalytic proximity labeling workflow (>1,200 samples were used to generate data in Figs. 2-5) is also introduced, enabling high throughput applications in target identification for drug-like molecules.
