The application discloses a crotonylation detection probe and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: taking an
alkyne alcohol (compound II) as
raw material, reacting with methoxycarbonylmethylidene triphenyl positive
phosphorus under the action of an oxidant to obtain a methyl ester compound (compound III), hydrolyzing the methyl ester compound (compound III) under the action of alkali to obtain an acid (compound IV), and finally reacting the acid (compound IV) with alkali, filtering and freeze-
drying to obtain the probe molecule (compound I). The
chemical probe (compound I) with an
alkyne group is applied in cells, the
alkyne group is selectively loaded on target proteins at specific modification sites through metabolic labeling, and through a bio-orthogonal
chemical reaction, a fluorescent dye can be orthogonally connected to the modification site, so that the probe is used for
fluorescent imaging of crotonylation proteins in cells and identification of crotonylation modification substrates and sites, and by using the probe, crotonylation sites regulated by
histone deacetylases (HDACs) can be determined through quantitative chemical
proteomics.
