State-of-the-art methods in photoproximity labeling center on the targeted generation and capture of short-lived reactive intermediates to provide a snapshot of local protein environments. Diazirines are the current gold standard for high-resolution proximity labeling, generating short-lived aryl(trifluoromethyl) carbenes. Here, we present a method to access aryl(trifluoromethyl) carbenes from a stable diazo source tissue-penetrable, deep red to near-infrared light (600-800 nm). The operative mechanism of this activation involves Dexter energy transfer from photoexcited osmium(II) photocatalysts to the diazo, thus revealing an aryl(trifluoromethyl) carbene. The labeling preferences of the diazo probe with amino acids are studied, showing high reactivity toward heteroatom-H bonds. Upon the synthesis of a biotinylated diazo probe, labeling studies are conducted on native proteins as well as proteins conjugated to the Os photocatalyst. Finally, we demonstrate that the conjugation of a protein inhibitor to the photocatalyst also enables selective protein labeling in the presence of spectator proteins and achieves specific labeling of a membrane protein on the surface of mammalian cells via a two-antibody photocatalytic system.
光亲和标记技术的最新进展集中于靶向生成和捕获短寿命反应中间体,以提供局部蛋白质环境的快照。重氮化合物是高分辨率亲和标记的当前金标准,可生成短寿命的芳基(三氟甲基)卡宾。在这里,我们提出了一种从稳定的重氮源获取芳基(三氟甲基)卡宾的方法,该重氮源具有组织穿透性,可发出深红光至近红外光(600-800nm)。这种激活的操作机制涉及从光激发的锇(II)光催化剂到重氮化合物的 Dexter 能量转移,从而揭示出芳基(三氟甲基)卡宾。研究了重氮探针与氨基酸的标记偏好,表明其对杂原子-H 键具有高反应性。在合成生物素化的重氮探针后,对天然蛋白质以及与 Os 光催化剂结合的蛋白质进行了标记研究。最后,我们证明,将蛋白质抑制剂与光催化剂结合也可以在存在旁观者蛋白质的情况下实现蛋白质的选择性标记,并通过双抗体光催化系统实现哺乳动物细胞表面上的膜蛋白的特异性标记。
