We describe the synthesis and characterization of a novel bioconjugate, consisting of an octaarginine cell-penetrating peptide and a highly DNA-affine doxorubicin dimer. The linkage between the two components is composed of a cleavable disulfide bond, which enables the efficient intracellular delivery of the cytotoxic payload within the reductive environment of the cytosol, mediated through glutathione. To determine the DNA-binding affinity of the dimeric drug molecule, microscale thermophoresis was applied. This is the first utilization of this method to assess the binding interactions of an anthracycline drug with nucleic acids. The cytotoxic effect of the peptide-drug conjugate, studied with drug-sensitive and doxorubicin-resistant cancer cells, demonstrates that the bioconjugate can successfully overcome drug resistance in neuroblastoma cells.

NMR imaging: Filamentous fd bacteriophage expressing antibodies recognizing the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were modified to incorporate cage-like xenon-binding molecules (CryA). The resulting contrast agent was shown to bind to an EGFR-positive cell line and detected by hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopy using chemical exchange saturation transfer (hyperCEST, see picture).

An amino acid-based heterofunctional cross-linking reagent
Lelle, Marco,Peneva, Kalina
, p. 1243 - 1251 (2014)
We describe the synthesis and characterization of a new lysine-based heterofunctional cross-linking reagent. It carries two readily available aminooxy functionalities and an activated and protected thiol group that is capable of generating reducible disulfides, the former enable bioorthogonal modification of ketones and aldehydes by the formation of an oxime bond. The efficacy of the linker was proven by coupling two doxorubicin molecules to the functionalized amino acid core and the subsequent bioconjugation of this drug conjugate with a thiolated antibody.

Multivalency: Key Feature in Overcoming Drug Resistance with a Cleavable Cell-Penetrating Peptide-Doxorubicin Conjugate

Multivalency is often used in biological systems, to increase affinity and specificity through avidity. This inspired us to prepare a synthetic bioconjugate that mimics natural multivalent systems. It is composed of doxorubicin and two octaarginine cell-penetrating peptides, to strengthen the electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged glycosaminoglycans of the plasma membrane and the guanidinium groups of the arginine residues. The multivalent conjugate has improved cellular uptake and cytotoxicity, compared to a peptide-drug conjugate with only one polyarginine and as a result it can overcome drug resistance in Kelly-ADR cells. The synthetic approach and the multivalent structure reported here can be used further as model systems, to gain insight into the biological interaction of cell-penetrating peptides with artificial membranes or for the preparation of more complex multimers.
Ethoxyethylidene protecting group prevents N-overacylation in aminooxy peptide synthesis

, p. 11952 - 11958 (2007)
We report herein an improved synthetic route for the preparation of homogenous aminooxy peptides suitable for oxime ligation. Aminooxyacetic acid (Aoa) was protected with 1-ethoxyethylidene group (Eei) then incorporated either using PyBOP or as N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester at N-terminal end or at a lysine side chain into model peptides in solution and on solid support. Due to the Eei protecting group, these new reagents prevent the N-overacylation side reaction in comparison with Boc-Aoa derivatives. Subsequent deprotection under mild acidic conditions gave the corresponding pure aminooxylated peptides.

Chemoenzymatic transglycosylation catalyzed by endo-S mutants is a powerful tool for in vitro glycoengineering of therapeutic antibodies. In this paper, we report a one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycoengineered Herceptin using an egg-yolk sialylglycopeptide (SGP) substrate. Combining this one-pot strategy with novel non-natural SGP derivatives carrying azido or alkyne tags, glycosite-specific conjugation was enabled for the development of new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The site-specific ADCs and semi-site-specific dual-drug ADCs were successfully achieved and characterized with SDS-PAGE, intact antibody or ADC mass spectrometry analysis, and PNGase-F digestion analysis. Cancer cell cytotoxicity assay revealed that small-molecule drug release of these ADCs relied on the cleavable Val-Cit linker fragment embedded in the structure. These results represent a new approach for glycosite-specific and dual-drug ADC design and rapid synthesis, and also provide the structural requirement for their biologic activities.

To add new tools to the repertoire of protein-based multivalent scaffold design, we have developed a novel dual-labeling strategy for proteins that combines residue-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids with chemical oxidative aldehyde formation at the N-terminus of a protein. Our approach relies on the selective introduction of two different functional moieties in a protein by mutually orthogonal copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and oxime ligation. This method was applied to the conjugation of biotin and β-linked galactose residues to yield an enzymatically active thermophilic lipase, which revealed specific binding to Erythrina cristagalli lectin by SPR binding studies.

A novel chemoenzymatic approach for simple and fast site-specific protein labeling is reported. Recombinant tubulin tyrosine ligase (TTL) was repurposed to attach various unnatural tyrosine derivatives as small bioorthogonal handles to proteins containing a short tubulin-derived recognition sequence (Tub-tag). This novel strategy enables a broad range of high-yielding and fast chemoselective C-terminal protein modifications on isolated proteins or in cell lysates for applications in biochemistry, cell biology, and beyond, as demonstrated by the site-specific labeling of nanobodies, GFP, and ubiquitin.

Paragraph 0634; 0635, (2015/12/23)
Provided herein are methods for enhancing enzymatic activity using certain polymers that may be optionally attached to an enzyme. The polymers may be thermally-responsive polymers, including poly N-isopropylacrylamide or poly N-isopropylmethacrylamide. The polymer may also be a copolymer with at least two different monomer residues. The monomer residues may have a structure of formula (I): wherein R1, RA and RB are as described herein. Examples of such monomer residues may include N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) or N-isopropylmethacrylamide (NIPMa). The polymer may include additional monomer residues, such as aminooxy-bearing methacrylamide monomer residues that can be modified to vary the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the polymer.
