The present application refers to bioorthogonal chemical inducers of reversible dimerization for control of protein interactions in cells. A compound, a test system, methods and uses are disclosed how the invention can be applied in the investigation of intracellular protein interactions. The system is composed of a compound of the general formula (I) as the dimerizer, displaying a high affinity binding to FKBP(F36V) mutant and eDHFR, respectively. The system is reversible on addition of TMP.

A method for identifying a molecule as being able to bind a protein target in a cell, comprising (a) covalently bonding the molecule to trimethoprim (TMP) to form a screening molecule, (b) introducing the screening molecule into the cell which (A) expresses (i) a first fusion protein comprising a binding domain capable of binding TMP, and (ii) a second fusion protein comprising the protein target, and (B) comprises a reporter gene, wherein one of the fusion proteins comprises a DNA-binding domain and the other fusion protein comprises a transcription activation domain and wherein expression of the reporter gene is conditioned on the proximity of the DNA-binding domain to the transcription activation domain; and (c) determining whether the screening molecule binds to the first fusion protein and to the second fusion protein by determining whether the cell expresses the reporter gene, wherein expression of the reporter gene indicates that the molecule binds the protein target and wherein lack of expression of the reporter gene indicates that the molecule does not bind the protein target.

The present invention provides radiolabeled trimethoprim which are useful in imaging tests such as PET scans. The compounds show robust bacterial uptake in vitro and identify infections from inflammation or tumor when administered to a subject. The compounds show rapid and sensitive detection of Ec DHFR containing tumors from control tumors and background tissue. In one aspect, a compound having the structure of formula (I) is provided or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein R is defined herein. Also provided are compositions containing these compounds, positron emission tomography reporter probe comprising these compounds, and methods of imaging a bacterial infection, tracking or monitoring bacteria, distinguishing a bacterial infection from inflammation or tumor, monitoring genetically fused protein expression, and monitoring genetically engineered cells in clinical scenarios such as immunotherapy for cancer treatment.
