The yeast three-hybrid (Y3H) approach shows considerable promise for the unbiased identification of novel small molecule-protein interactions. In recent years, it has been successfully used to link a number of bioactive molecules to novel protein binding partners. However despite its potential importance as a protein target identification method, the Y3H technique has not yet been widely adopted, in part due to the challenges associated with the synthesis of the complex chemical inducers of dimerisation (CIDs). The development of a modular approach using potentially “off the shelf” synthetic components was achieved and allowed the synthesis of a family of four triazole-containing CIDs, MTX-Cmpd2.2-2.5. These CIDs were then compared using the Y3H approach with three of them giving a strong positive interaction with a known target of compound 2, TgCDPK1. These results showed that the modular nature of our synthetic strategy may help to overcome the challenges currently encountered with CID synthesis and should contribute to the Y3H approach reaching its full potential as an unbiased target identification strategy.
酵母三杂交(Y3H)方法在无偏倚识别新型小分子-蛋白质相互作用方面显示出相当的前景。近年来,该方法已成功地将多种生物活性分子与其新的蛋白结合伙伴关联起来。然而,尽管作为蛋白靶点识别方法具有潜在重要性,Y3H技术尚未被广泛采用,部分原因在于合成复杂的化学诱导二聚体(CIDs)所面临的挑战。通过开发一种使用潜在“现成”合成组件的模块化方法,成功合成了含有四唑的CIDs家族,即MTX-Cmpd2.2-2.5。随后,通过Y3H方法比较了这些CIDs,其中三种与化合物2的已知目标TgCDPK1表现出强烈的阳性相互作用。这些结果表明,我们合成策略的模块化性质可能有助于克服目前CID合成所面临的挑战,并应有助于Y3H方法充分发挥其作为无偏倚靶点识别策略的潜力。
