Stoichiometric and irreversible cysteine-selective protein modification using carbonylacrylic reagents. Nat Commun 2016; 7:13128.

Abstract
Maleimides remain the reagents of choice for the preparation of therapeutic and imaging protein conjugates despite the known instability of the resulting products that undergo thiol-exchange reactions in vivo. Here we present the rational design of carbonylacrylic reagents for chemoselective cysteine bioconjugation. These reagents undergo rapid thiol Michael-addition under biocompatible conditions in stoichiometric amounts. When using carbonylacrylic reagents equipped with PEG or fluorophore moieties, this method enables access to protein and antibody conjugates precisely modified at pre-determined sites. Importantly, the conjugates formed are resistant to degradation in plasma and are biologically functional, as demonstrated by the selective imaging and detection of apoptotic and HER2+ cells, respectively. The straightforward preparation, stoichiometric use and exquisite cysteine selectivity of the carbonylacrylic reagents combined with the stability of the products and the availability of biologically relevant cysteine-tagged proteins make this method suitable for the routine preparation of chemically defined conjugates for in vivo applications.

Abstract
The disposal of elemental mercury (Hg(0)) wastes in mining and manufacturing areas has caused serious soil and groundwater contamination issues. Under anoxic conditions, certain anaerobic bacteria can oxidize dissolved elemental mercury and convert the oxidized Hg to neurotoxic methylmercury. In this study, we conducted experiments with the Hg-methylating bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132 to elucidate the role of cellular thiols in anaerobic Hg(0) oxidation. The concentrations of cell-surface and intracellular thiols were measured, and specific fractions of D. desulfuricans ND132 were examined for Hg(0) oxidation activity and analyzed with extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The experimental data indicate that intracellular thiol concentrations are approximately six times higher than those of the cell wall. Cells reacted with a thiol-blocking reagent were severely impaired in Hg(0) oxidation activity. Spheroplasts lacking cell walls rapidly oxidized Hg(0) to Hg(II), while cell wall fragments exhibited low reactivity toward Hg(0). EXAFS analysis of spheroplast samples revealed that multiple different forms of Hg-thiols are produced by the Hg(0) oxidation reaction and that the local coordination environment of the oxidized Hg changes with reaction time. The results of this study indicate that Hg(0) oxidation in D. desulfuricans ND132 is an intracellular process that occurs by reaction with thiol-containing molecules.

Abstract
This manuscript reports the synthesis of pyrene-based fluorescent probe (PA-1) containing α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety and its application towards the selective and sensitive detection of cysteine (Cys) over other bio-thiols. The probe, 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-pyrenyl-2-propenone (PA-1) was synthesized through Claisen-Schmidt condensation between acetyl pyrene and salicylaldehyde. The formed product was characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and GC-MS techniques. The probe exhibited absorption maximum at 374nm and emission maximum at 467nm (λex=342nm). The emission intensity of PA-1 was greatly enhanced while adding 2.5nM Cys. This can be attributed to the nucleophilic attack of Cys to the α,β-unsaturated ketone resulting in switching off, intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from pyrene moiety to the phenolic nucleus. This was confirmed by DFT measurements. The PA-1 exhibited an excellent selectivity towards the determination of 40nM cys in the presence of 250,000-fold higher concentration of common interferents. The emission intensity was linearly increased and the limit of detection was found to be 10pM/L (S/N=3). Interestingly, the response of the PA-1 towards Cys is less than 1min. The confocal laser scanning micrographs of HeLa cells confirmed the cell permeability of the PA-1 and its ability to selectively detect Cys in living cells. In addition, the proposed probe was successfully applied for the determination of Cys in blood serum samples.

Abstract
Small-molecule thiols, such as cysteine (CYS) and glutathione (GSH), are essential for maintaining the cellular redox environment and play important roles in regulating various cellular physiological functions. A fluorescence probe (compound 1-Cu2+) for thiols based on coumarin carbohydrazide dinuclear copper complex was developed. Compound 1 was synthesized from the reaction of 7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide with 4-tert-butyl-2,6- diformylphenol. Accordingly, the copper complex (compound 1-Cu2+) was prepared by mixing compound 1 with 2 equivalents copper ions. Compound 1 had strong fluorescence while compound 1-Cu2+ hardly possessed fluorescence owing to the quenching nature of paramagnetism Cu2+ to the fluorescence molecule excited state. However, the fluorescence intensity of compound 1-Cu2+ was increased dramatically after the addition of thiol-containing amino acids, but not the other non-sulfhydryl amino acids. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra indicated that compound 1-Cu2+ had good selectivity and sensitivity for thiols such as glutathione in CH3CN:H2O (3:2, v/v) PBS solution. The fluorescence imaging experiments implied that compound 1-Cu2+ has potential application in thiol-containing amino acids detection in living cells.

Abstract
A simple molecule, tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (4F-2CN), was discovered to be an efficient fluorescent probe for detecting biological thiol species. The probe responded to Cys and emitted strong green fluorescence, whereas it reacted with Hcy/GSH and generated blue fluorescence. Addition of CTAB (cetyl trimethylammonium bromide) was observed to alter the fluorescence color of the reaction product of 4F-2CN and Hcy (from blue to green), but no alteration of the fluorescence color occurred for Cys and GSH. For the very first time, cell imaging experiments showed that the three commonly occurring thiols (Cys/Hcy/GSH) could be differentiated using a single fluorescent probe. In addition, the reaction product of 4F-2CN and Cys exhibits two-photon properties, offering a potentially useful tool for tissue imaging studies. To the best of our knowledge, 4F-2CN is currently the smallest fluorescent probe for thiol detection. We envision that this new and versatile probe will be a useful tool for further elucidating the roles of thiols in biology.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) plays crucial roles in biological systems and in mitochondrial processes. Highly selective probes for specific detection of mitochondrial Cys over other biological thiols are rare. Herein, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targetable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent off-on probe, NFL1, based on a fluorescein derivative for Cys detection. Probe NFL1 has a lipophilic cation unit as the mitochondria biomarker and an acrylate group as the Cys-recognition unit as well as a fluorescence quencher. The probe itself is nonfluorescent due to the photoinduced electron transfer process. Upon addition of Cys, marked enhancement in the NIR emission (735 nm) can be monitored due to cleavage of the acrylate moiety. This probe had great sensitivity and selectivity for the rapid detection of Cys over homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) with an ultralow detection limit of 14.5 nM. More importantly, the probe successfully targeted mitochondria, detected endogenous Cys, and assessed mitochondrial oxidative stress in living cells. Probe NFL1 was also capable of detecting and imaging Cys in living nude mice, indicating its significant potential in biological applications.

Abstract
An aryl-thioether substituted nitrobenzothiadiazole probe was synthesized and employed to detect cysteine and homocysteine selectively in living cells. Interestingly, both cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) promote an enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of the probe at pH 7.4 while only Cys gives rise to this enhancement under weakly acidic conditions (pH 6.0).

Abstract
Quorum sensing is cell-to-cell communication that allows bacteria to coordinate attacks on their hosts by inducing virulent gene expression, biofilm production, and other cellular functions, including antibiotic resistance. AHL synthase enzymes synthesize N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones, commonly referred to as autoinducers, to facilitate quorum sensing in Gram-negative bacteria. Studying the synthases, however, has proven to be a difficult road. Two assays, including a radiolabeled assay and a colorimetric (DCPIP) assay are well-documented in literature to study AHL synthases. In this paper, we describe additional methods that include an HPLC-based, C-S bond cleavage and coupled assays to investigate this class of enzymes. In addition, we compare and contrast each assay for both acyl-CoA- and acyl-ACP-utilizing synthases. The expanded toolkit described in this study should facilitate mechanistic studies on quorum sensing signal synthases and expedite discovery of antivirulent compounds.

Abstract
A phenyl-selenium-substituted coumarin probe was synthesized for the purpose of achieving highly selective and extremely rapid detection of glutathione (GSH) over cysteine (Cys)/homocysteine (Hcy) without background fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity of the probe with GSH shows a ∼100-fold fluorescent enhancement compared with the signal generated for other closely related amino acids, including Cys and Hcy. Importantly, the substitution reaction with the sulfhydryl group of GSH at the 4-position of the probe, which is doubly-activated by two carbonyl groups, occurs extremely fast, showing subsecond maximum fluorescence intensity attainment; equilibrium was reached within 100 ms (UV-vis). The probe selectivity for GSH was confirmed in Hep3B cells by confocal microscopy imaging.

Abstract
Simple thiol derivatives, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play key roles in biological processes, and the fluorescent probes to detect such thiols in vivo selectively with high sensitivity and fast response times are critical for understanding their numerous functions. However, the similar structures and reactivities of these thiols pose considerable challenges to the development of such probes. This review focuses on various strategies for the design of fluorescent probes for the selective detection of biothiols. We classify the fluorescent probes for discrimination among biothiols according to reaction types between the probes and thiols such as cyclization with aldehydes, conjugate addition-cyclization with acrylates, native chemical ligation, and aromatic substitution-rearrangement.

Abstract
In an aerobic organism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an inevitable metabolic byproduct. Endogenously produced ROS have a significant role in physiological processes, but excess ROS can cause oxidative stress and can damage tissue. Cells possess elaborate mechanisms to regulate their internal redox status. The intracellular redox homeostasis plays an essential role in maintaining cellular function. However, moderate alterations in redox balance can accompany major transitions in a cell's life cycle. Because of the role of ROS in physiology and in pathology, researchers need new tools to study redox chemistry in biological systems.In recent years, researchers have made remarkable progress in developing new, highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probes that respond to redox changes, and in this Account we highlight related research, primarily from our own group. We present an overview of the design, photophysical properties, and fluorescence transduction mechanisms of reported molecules that probe redox changes. We have designed and synthesized a series of fluorescent probes for redox cycles in biological systems relying on the active center of glutathione peroxidase (GPx). We have also constructed probes based on the oxidation and reduction of hydroquinone and of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinooxy (TEMPO). Most of these probes exhibit high sensitivity and good selectivity, absorb in the near-infrared, and respond rapidly. Such probes are useful for confocal fluorescence microscopy, a dynamic imaging technique that could allow researchers to observe biologically important ROS and antioxidants in real time. This technique and these probes provide potentially useful tools for exploring the generation, transport, physiological function, and pathogenic mechanisms of ROS and antioxidants.We also describe features that could improve the properties of redox-responsive fluorescent probes: greater photostability; rapid, dynamic, cyclic and ratiometric responses; and broader absorption in the near-IR region. In addition, fluorescent probes that include organochalcogens such as selenium and tellurium show promise for a new class of fluorescent redox probes that are both chemically stable and robustly reversible. However, further investigations of the chemical and fluorescence transduction mechanisms of selenium-based probes in response to ROS are needed.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe (CA-N) was designed and synthesized for detection of biothiols. CA-N displayed a strong fluorescence in the presence of biothiols with high sensitivity, and the mechanism for detection biothiols was based on the Michael addition reaction of a thiol group to α,β-unsaturated ketones. CA-N showed low detection limit for cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), which were calculated as 3.16, 0.19 and 5.15 μM, respectively. At the same time, CA-N exhibited high selectivity toward biothiols compared with other biological amino acids. In vitro cell experiments proved that CA-N had no cytotoxicity, high cell permeability and could be employed in living cell imaging for biothiols.

Abstract
Biological thiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocystein (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), play crucial roles in maintaining the appropriate redox status of biological systems. An abnormal level of biothiols is associated with different diseases, therefore, the discrimination between them is of great importance. Herein, we present two fluorescent sensors for selective detection of biothiols based on our recently reported intramolecular displacement mechanism. We expanded this mechanism to commercially available chromophores, 4-chloro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) and heptamethine cyanine dye IR-780. The sensors operate by undergoing displacement of chloride by thiolate. The amino groups of Cys/Hcy further replace the thiolate to form amino-substituted products, which exhibit dramatically different photophysical properties compared to sulfur-substituted products from the reaction with GSH. NBD-Cl is highly selective towards Cys/Hcy and exhibits significant fluorescence enhancement. IR-780 showed a variation in its fluorescence ratio towards Cys over other thiols. Both of the sensors can be used for live-cell imaging of Cys. The wide applicability of the mechanism may provide a powerful tool for developing novel fluorescent sensors for selective detection of biothiols.

Abstract
![]()
Glutathione
(GSH) plays an important role in maintaining redox
homeostasis inside cells. Currently, there are no methods available
to quantitatively assess the GSH concentration in live cells. Live
cell fluorescence imaging revolutionized the field of cell biology
and has become an indispensable tool in current biological studies.
In order to minimize the disturbance to the biological system in live
cell imaging, the probe concentration needs to be significantly lower
than the analyte concentration. Because of this, any irreversible
reaction-based GSH probe can only provide qualitative results within
a short reaction time and will exhibit maximum response regardless
of the GSH concentration if the reaction is completed. A reversible
reaction-based probe with an appropriate equilibrium constant allows
measurement of an analyte at much higher concentrations and, thus,
is a prerequisite for GSH quantification inside cells. In this contribution,
we report the first fluorescent probe—ThiolQuant Green (TQ
Green)—for quantitative imaging of GSH in live cells. Due to
the reversible nature of the reaction between the probe and GSH, we
are able to quantify mM concentrations of GSH with TQ Green concentrations
as low as 20 nM. Furthermore, the GSH concentrations measured using
TQ Green in 3T3-L1, HeLa, HepG2, PANC-1, and PANC-28 cells are reproducible
and well correlated with the values obtained from cell lysates. TQ
Green imaging can also resolve the changes in GSH concentration in
PANC-1 cells upon diethylmaleate (DEM) treatment. In addition, TQ
Green can be conveniently applied in fluorescence activated cell sorting
(FACS) to measure GSH level changes. Through this study, we not only
demonstrate the importance of reaction reversibility in designing
quantitative reaction-based fluorescent probes but also provide a
practical tool to facilitate redox biology studies.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH) are interconnected and play essential roles for regulating the redox balance of biological processes. However, finding a simple and effective method for the simultaneous determination for these three biothiols in biological systems is always a challenge. In this work, we report a method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of three biothiols in a mixture using a monochlorinated boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorometric sensor. At a specified period of time, after reacting with excess sensor, Hcy and GSH form predominantly sulfur-substituted BODIPY, while Cys generates sulfur-amino-diBODIPY due to a fast substitution-rearrangement-substitution reaction. A significant difference in polarities of these respective major products simplifies their separation by TLC, thus leading to the simultaneous determination of Cys, Hcy, and GSH readily. The sensor was successfully applied for the simultaneous quantitative detection of three biothiols in human serum, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Abstract
H2S is the third endogenously generated gaseous signaling compound and has also been known to involve a variety of physiological processes. To better understand its physiological and pathological functions, efficient methods for monitoring of H2S are desired. Azide fluorogenic probes are popular because they can take place bioorthogonal reactions. In this work, by employing a fluorescein derivative as the fluorophore and an azide group as the recognition unit, we reported a new probe 5-azidofluorescein for H2S with improved sensitivity and selectivety. The probe shows very low background fluorescence in the absence of H2S. In the presence of H2S, however, a significant enhancement for excited fluorescence were observed, resulting in a high sensitivity to H2S in buffered (10 mmol/L HEPES, pH 7.0) aqueous acetonitrile solution (H2O/CH3CN = 1:3, v/v) with a detection limit of 0.035 μmol/L observed, much lower than the previously reported probes. All these features are favorable for direct monitoring of H2S with satisfactory sensitivity, demonstrating its value of practical application.
