Description

Bioactive molecule combined target identification method based on double-head photoaffinity probe
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, relates to a method for identifying a bioactive molecule combined target, and particularly relates to a method for identifying a bioactive molecule combined target based on a double-ended photoaffinity probe.
Background
The light affinity labeling technology (PAL) combines the advantages of modern molecular biology, cell biology, medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry and other subjects, and applies the synthesized light affinity probe molecules to generate high-activity intermediates under the irradiation of light with specific wavelength, which can be directly irreversibly covalently crosslinked with the protein specifically combined with the medicinal molecules to realize the capture of the medicinal target protein molecules. By using the light affinity labeling technology, a large number of targets related to diseases are found, the mode of action of a plurality of small molecules and biological macromolecules is determined, and the information has very important significance on rational drug design, such as discovery of new drug targets or new description of the function of a known protein, which is self-evident in the significance of clarifying the occurrence, development and treatment of diseases from the molecular level.
Photoaffinity labeling probe design plays a crucial role in the implementation of Photoaffinity labeling technology, but when a part of biologically active small molecules is analyzed by using a classical connecting skeleton (such as lysine, polyethylene glycol, alkyl chain skeleton, etc.), the probe has limited sensitivity due to the branched structure skeleton of the whole probe, and non-specific binding exists, so that the target cannot be completely and accurately identified (Salisbury, C.M. and B.F. Cravatt (2008) 'Optimization activity-based probes for structural purification of tissue enzymes complex.' J Am Chem Soc 130(7): 2184-.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the inventors developed and improved the existing probes, (Wang, d.y., y.cao, l.y.zheng, l.d.chen, x.f.chen, z.y.hong, z.y.zhu, x.li and y.f.chai (2017). "Target Identification of Kinase Inhibitor alert (MLN8237) by Using DNA-Programmed Affinity labelling" Chemistry 23(45):10906 and 10914.) to provide a photoaffinity probe set consisting of a binding probe and a capture probe, which are base complementary paired or specifically bound between the two probes, one side of the binding probe is bound to a bioactive molecule, and one side of the capture probe is bound to a photoaffinity molecule. When the target identification is carried out, the combined probe and the capture probe are respectively hybridized, the probe with a certain concentration and a sample are incubated together, and the incubated sample is placed under the excitation light source of the photoaffinity molecule for irradiation, and the cross-linking reaction is excited, so that the capture probe can effectively anchor the relevant target protein to form a probe-protein composite.
Compared with the current probe molecules, the single-head probe has the following advantages because the structure skeleton is concentrated and is a flexible structure: the sensitivity is obviously increased, and the recognition capability of the target protein pair with low abundance and low affinity is improved. However, cells are filled with hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic interaction, and thousands of proteins with different biophysical characteristics and abundances, so weak or transient nonspecific interaction generally exists, and with the development of proteomics and protein mass spectrometry identification technologies, the number of identified potential bioactive small molecule binding proteins is remarkably increased, and the difficulty of one-by-one verification is high and the efficiency is low. Therefore, how to optimize the single-head probe target analysis method reduces the non-specificity while ensuring the sensitivity, and has important significance for small molecule target analysis.

The larger the signal response value, the lower the Kd value, indicating a stronger physical binding between the active component and its target protein.
4. Results of the experiment
4.1 target identification results
MLN8237 is also called alisertib, and is a clinical candidate drug because it specifically inhibits aurora kinase A (aurora Kinasea), both of which bind to an ATP-binding domain common to kinase-like proteins, and thus MLN8237 can theoretically bind to other various kinases or proteins. The former single-head old method was used to identify the binding target of MLN8237, and Aurora Kinase A (Aurora A) belongs to specific binding, and alpha-tubulin 8(tubulin) and Heat shockprotein (HSP60) belong to non-specific binding.
Comparison of MLN8237 Single-headed and double-headed DNA photoaffinity probes for capture of aurora A, tubulin, HSP60 in cell whole protein extract: wherein the working concentration of the probe is 0.1 mu M, the total cell protein is 500mg, the incubation is carried out for 2h, the ultraviolet light is irradiated for 30s, after the light cross-linking, the protein loading buffer solution is added, the metal bath is carried out for 10min at the temperature of 95 ℃, and the three proteins are detected by the immunoblotting method.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the 16bp sequence, the present double-headed method is not different from the original single-headed method, and the captured sample only contains "aurora A-DNA", "tubulin-DNA" and "HSP 60-DNA", probably because the two ends of the short-chain probe cannot be anchored with the protein simultaneously due to steric hindrance (FIG. 2B); however, in the case of 100T (Mw about 30KDa) of 100bp sequence, immunoblotting results comparing the former single-head method with the new double-head method show that the double-head method contains the "Aurora A-DNA-Aurora A" complex but does not contain the "tubulin-DNA-tubulin" and the "HSP 60-DNA-HSP 60", but contains the "Aurora A-DNA", "tubulin-DNA" and the "HSP 60-DNA" complex (FIG. 2C), which indicates that the new double-head method can rapidly determine the binding target of the bioactive small molecule by the difference of the proteins at both ends, and when both ends are the same, the double-head method is a specific binding target, and when both ends are different, the double-head method is a non-specific binding target.
4.2 target validation
According to fig. 3, surface plasmon resonance testing showed that the binding response of Tubulin (fig. 3A) and HSP60 (fig. 3B) to MLN8237 increased with increasing concentration of MLN8237, showing a linear relationship, being non-specific binding, as with the other means of target identification.

Sources of protein samples include, but are not limited to, the use of cultured cells, animal tissues, human specimens, and the like.
