same nucleophilic residue on EGFR across the interaction
interface. Moreover, the photo-cross-linking of EGFR is EGF
stimulation and photoirradiation-dependent and is mediated by
mPyTK as the wild-type Grb2 did not exhibit covalent capture of
EGFR (Figure S11A in SI). The highest photo-cross-linking yield
for Grb2-D104mPyTK was observed when cells were stimulated
with EGF for 15 min (Figure S11B in SI), indicating that the
Grb2xEGFR interaction is transient and dynamic, resembling

mutants in mammalian cells. (a) A close-up view of Grb2-SH2 domain
in complex with phosphotyrosine-containing heptapeptide (PDB code:
TZE), highlighting the proximal residues surrounding pY (rendered
in cyan tube model) that were selected for the mPyTK mutagenesis.
b) Comparison of the efficiency of the mPyTK-containing Grb2-SH2
domain mutants for photo-cross-linking with EGFR in HEK293T cells.
Cells were exposed to 302-nm UV light for 5 min before lysis. The
Grb2-cross-linked proteins in cell lysates were immunoprecipitated
with the anti-FLAG antibody-immobilized agarose beads. The samples
were analyzed SDS-PAGE/western blot and probed successively with
anti-myc antibody (top panel) and anti-EGFR antibody (bottom panel).

In summary, we have synthesized a panel of 2-aryl-5-carboxy-
tetrazole-based photo-cross-linkers and evolved a polyspecific
pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase variant that charges these ACT-lysine
analogs site-selectively into proteins in E. coli. One of the most
reactive, genetically encoded photo-cross-linkers, mPyTK, allowed
site-selective photo-cross-linking of a GST dimer in vitro and in E.
coli cells. In comparison studies, mPyTK exhibited a significantly
higher efficiency than AbK when placed at the same location of the
GST dimer interface. Moreover, mPyTK enabled covalent capture
of the transient Grb2-interacting protein partner in mammalian cells
in a stimulus-dependent manner. In view of their higher photo-
cross-linking yields and unique cross-linking mechanism, these
genetically encoded ACT-lysines should offer a powerful chemical
tool to map transient protein-protein interactions underlining signal
transduction pathways. Because tandem MS analysis revealed the
characteristic fragments after cross-linking, these ACT-lysines may
also find applications in structural analysis of protein complexes.
