Synthesis of a new hydrophilic o-nitrobenzyl photocleavable linker suitable for use in chemical proteomics
摘要:
Linkers currently used in solid phase synthesis are generally short and hydrophobic, limiting their usefulness in biological systems. Herein, we describe a facile synthesis of a long, hydrophilic, o-nitrobenzyl photocleavable linker, suitable for constructing affinity supports for use in chemical proteomics. The rates of photolysis of the linker on exposure to UV light emitting diodes are reported. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: The ability to rapidly turn on and off an acute antagonist is helpful to understand the initiation of a cellular program. Results: A photocleavable analog was produced and functionally demonstrated. Conclusion: Fine temporal control of endosome dispersion and restoration was obtained. Significance: The combination of traps and the photocleavable analog permits new avenues to study signaling within a single cell in an organism.Herein, we report the development of a photocleavable analog of AP20187, a cell-permeable molecule used to dimerize FK506-binding protein (FKBP) fusion proteins and initiate biological signaling cascades and gene expression or disrupt protein-protein interactions. We demonstrate that this reagent permits the unique ability to rapidly and specifically antagonize a molecular interaction in vitro and follow a biological process due to this acute antagonism (e.g. endosome dispersion) and to release the trap upon photocleavage to follow the cell's return to homeostasis. In addition, this photocleavable AP20187 analog can be used in other systems where the dimerization of FKBP has been used to initiate signaling pathways, offering the ability to correlate the duration of a signaling event and a cellular response.
