Abstract
In the quest to scrutinize and modify biological systems, the global research community has continued to explore bio-orthogonal click reactions, a set of reactions exclusively targeting non-native molecules within biological systems. These methodologies have brought about a paradigm shift, demonstrating the feasibility of artificial chemical reactions occurring on cellular surfaces, in the cell cytosol, or within the body - an accomplishment challenging to achieve with the majority of conventional chemical reactions. This review delves into the principles of bio-orthogonal click chemistry, contrasting metal-catalyzed and metal-free reactions of bio-orthogonal nature. It comprehensively explores mechanistic details and applications, highlighting the versatility and potential of this methodology in diverse scientific contexts, from cell labelling to biosensing and polymer synthesis. Researchers globally continue to advance this powerful tool for precise and selective manipulation of biomolecules in complex biological systems.

Abstract
The coordinated azido ligand has a variety of ways to establish intermolecular contacts whose nature is computationally analysed in this work on dimers of the [N3-Hg(CF3)] complex with different interactions involving only N⋯N contacts, or with an additional Hg⋯N contact. The applied tools include the molecular electrostatic map of the monomer, an energy decomposition analysis (EDA), a topological AIM analysis of the electron density and the study of NCI (non-covalent interactions) isosurfaces. The interactions between two azido ligands are found to be weakly stabilizing (by 0.2 to 2.7 kcal mol-1), topology-dependent and require dispersion forces to complement orbital and electrostatic stabilization. Those interactions are supplemented by the formation of simultaneous Hg⋯N secondary interactions by about -1 kcal mol-1, and by the ability of the monomer to simultaneously interact with several neighbours in the crystal structure.

Abstract
Proteins labelled site-specifically with small molecules are valuable assets for chemical biology and drug development. The unique reactivity profile of the 1,2-aminothiol moiety of N-terminal cysteines (N-Cys) of proteins renders it highly attractive for regioselective protein labelling. Herein, we report an ultrafast Z-selective reaction between isatin-derived Baylis Hillman adducts and 1,2-aminothiols to form a bis-heterocyclic scaffold, and employ it for stable protein bioconjugation under both in vitro and live-cell conditions. We refer to our protein bioconjugation technology as Baylis Hillman orchestrated protein aminothiol labelling (BHoPAL). Furthermore, we report a lipoic acid ligase-based technology for introducing the 1,2-aminothiol moiety at any desired site within proteins, rendering BHoPAL location-agnostic (not limited to N-Cys). By using this approach in tandem with BHoPAL, we generate dually labelled protein bioconjugates appended with different labels at two distinct specific sites on a single protein molecule. Taken together, the protein bioconjugation toolkit that we disclose herein will contribute towards the generation of both mono and multi-labelled protein-small molecule bioconjugates for applications as diverse as biophysical assays, cellular imaging, and the production of therapeutic protein-drug conjugates. In addition to protein bioconjugation, the bis-heterocyclic scaffold we report herein will find applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Metabolic glycoengineering involves the stimulation of cells with functionalized monosaccharides. Glucosamine, galactosamine, and mannosamine derivatives are commercially available, but their application may lead to undirected (i.e., chemical) incorporation into proteins. However, sialic acids are attached to the ends of complex sugar chains of glycoproteins, which might be beneficial for cell surface modification via click chemistry. Thus, we studied the incorporation of chemically synthesized unnatural alkyne modified sialic acid (SiaNAl) into glycoproteins of human telomerase-immortalized mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC-TERT) and we show that SiaNAl can be efficiently incorporated in glycoproteins involved in signal transduction and cell junction.

Abstract
Multicellular 3D tissue constructs (MTCs) are important in biomedical research due to their capacity to accurately mimic the structure and variation found in real tissues. This study presents a novel bio-orthogonal engineering strategy (BIEN), a transformative scaffold-free approach, to create advanced MTCs. BIEN harnesses the cellular biosynthetic machinery to incorporate bio-orthogonal azide reporters into cell surface glycoconjugates, followed by a click reaction with multiarm PEG, resulting in rapid assembly of MTCs. The implementation of this cutting-edge strategy culminates in the formation of uniform, heterogeneous spheroids, characterized by a high degree of intercellular junction and pluripotency. Remarkably, MTCs simulate tumor features, ensure cell heterogeneity, and significantly improve the subcutaneous xenograft model after transplantation, thereby bolstering both in vitro and in vivo research models. In conclusion, the utilization of the bio-orthogonal engineering strategy as a scaffold-free method to generate superior MTCs holds promising potential for driving advancements in cancer research.

Abstract
Influenza A viruses (IAV), including the pandemic 2009 (pdm09) H1N1 or avian influenza H5N1 virus, may advance into more pathogenic, potentially antiviral drug-resistant strains (including loss of susceptibility against oseltamivir). Such IAV strains fuel the risk of future global outbreaks, to which this study responds by re-engineering Interferon-α2a (IFN-α2a) bioconjugates into influenza therapeutics. Type-I interferons such as IFN-α2a play an essential role in influenza infection and may prevent serious disease courses. We site-specifically conjugated a genetically engineered IFN-α2a mutant to poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s (PEtOx) of different molecular weights by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cyclo-addition. The promising pharmacokinetic profile of the 25 kDa PEtOx bioconjugate in mice echoed an efficacy in IAV-infected ferrets. One intraperitoneal administration of this bioconjugate, but not the marketed IFN-α2a bioconjugate, changed the disease course similar to oseltamivir, given orally twice every study day. PEtOxylated IFN-α2a bioconjugates may expand our therapeutic arsenal against future influenza pandemics, particularly in light of rising first-line antiviral drug resistance to IAV.

Abstract
Conjugation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to biologics is a successful strategy to favorably impact the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the resulting bioconjugate. We compare bioconjugates synthesized by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) using PEG and linear polyglycerol (LPG) of about 20 kDa or 40 kDa, respectively, with an azido functionalized human Interferon-α2a (IFN-α2a) mutant. Site-specific PEGylation and LPGylation resulted in IFN-α2a bioconjugates with improved in vitro potency compared to commercial Pegasys. LPGylated bioconjugates had faster disposition kinetics despite comparable hydrodynamic radii to their PEGylated analogues. Overall exposure of the PEGylated IFN-α2a with a 40 kDa polymer exceeded Pegasys, which, in return, was similar to the 40 kDa LPGylated conjugates. The study points to an expanded polymer design space through which the selected polymer class may result in a different distribution of the studied bioconjugates.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a tyrosine-based azido derivative (TBAD) that permits both substrate-independent surface coating and clickable film functionalization by mimicking natural melanogenesis. In contrast to catechol derivatives, which are generally susceptible to oxidation by air under ambient conditions, the monophenol-based TBAD remains stable under alkaline and neutral conditions, and is activated to oxidized quinone in situ by tyrosinase to initiate melanin-like polymerization. The resulting poly(TBAD) film can be formed on various substrates including noble metals, metal oxides, and synthetic polymers, which can undergo click reaction with terminal alkyne moieties on the entire surface or a specific region through Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The enzyme-mediated coating can rapidly form thin films (∼10 nm) and produce a uniform film morphology, which are important aspects in surface chemistry. This on-demand, clickable coating may become a significant tool for bioconjugation, soft lithography, and labeling techniques. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Synthetic platforms for mimicking artificial organelles or for designing multivalent protein therapeutics for targeting cell surface, extracellular matrix, and tissues are in the focus of this study. Furthermore, the availability of a multi-functionalized and stimuli-responsive carrier system is required that can be used for sequential in situ and/or post loading of different proteins combined with post-functionalization steps. Until now, polymersomes exhibit excellent key characteristics to fulfill those requirements, which allow specific transport of proteins and the integration of proteins in different locations of polymeric vesicles. Herein, different approaches to fabricate multivalent protein-loaded, pH-responsive, and pH-stable polymersomes are shown, where a combination of therapeutic action and targeting can be achieved, by first choosing two model proteins such as human serum albumin and avidin. Validation of the molecular parameters of the multivalent biohybrids is performed by dynamic light scattering, cryo-TEM, fluorescence spectroscopy, and asymmetrical flow-field flow fractionation combined with light scattering techniques. To demonstrate targeting functions of protein-loaded polymersomes, avidin post-functionalized polymersomes are used for the molecular recognition of biotinylated cell surface receptors. These versatile protein-loaded polymersomes present new opportunities for designing sophisticated biomolecular nanoobjects in the field of (extracellular matrix) protein therapeutics.

Abstract
Copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between organic azides and terminal alkynes, commonly known as CuAAC or click chemistry, has been identified as one of the most successful, versatile, reliable, and modular strategies for the rapid and regioselective construction of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles as diversely functionalized molecules. Carbohydrates, an integral part of living cells, have several fascinating features, including their structural diversity, biocompatibility, bioavailability, hydrophilicity, and superior ADME properties with minimal toxicity, which support increased demand to explore them as versatile scaffolds for easy access to diverse glycohybrids and well-defined glycoconjugates for complete chemical, biochemical, and pharmacological investigations. This review highlights the successful development of CuAAC or click chemistry in emerging areas of glycoscience, including the synthesis of triazole appended carbohydrate-containing molecular architectures (mainly glycohybrids, glycoconjugates, glycopolymers, glycopeptides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycoclusters, and glycodendrimers through regioselective triazole forming modular and bio-orthogonal coupling protocols). It discusses the widespread applications of these glycoproducts as enzyme inhibitors in drug discovery and development, sensing, gelation, chelation, glycosylation, and catalysis. This review also covers the impact of click chemistry and provides future perspectives on its role in various emerging disciplines of science and technology.

Abstract
Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) is an imaging method that allows for the visualization of structures smaller than the diffraction limit of light (~200 nm). This is achieved through techniques such as stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) and photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM). A large part of obtaining ideal imaging of single molecules is the choice of the right fluorescent label. An upcoming field of protein labeling is incorporating unnatural amino acids (UAAs) with an attached fluorescent dye for precise localization and visualization of individual molecules. For this technique, fluorescent probes are conjugated to UAAs and are introduced into the protein of interest (POI) as a label. Here we contrast this labeling method with other commonly used protein-based labeling methods such as fluorescent proteins (FPs) or self-labeling tags such as Halotag, SNAP-tags, and CLIP-tags, and highlight the benefits and shortcomings of the site-specific incorporation of UAAs coupled with fluorescent dyes in SMLM.

Metabolic Glycoengineering in hMSC-TERT as a Model for Skeletal Precursors by Using Modified Azide/Alkyne Monosaccharides. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22062820.

Abstract
Metabolic glycoengineering enables a directed modification of cell surfaces by introducing target molecules to surface proteins displaying new features. Biochemical pathways involving glycans differ in dependence on the cell type; therefore, this technique should be tailored for the best results. We characterized metabolic glycoengineering in telomerase-immortalized human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC-TERT) as a model for primary hMSC, to investigate its applicability in TERT-modified cell lines. The metabolic incorporation of N-azidoacetylmannosamine (Ac4ManNAz) and N-alkyneacetylmannosamine (Ac4ManNAl) into the glycocalyx as a first step in the glycoengineering process revealed no adverse effects on cell viability or gene expression, and the in vitro multipotency (osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential) was maintained under these adapted culture conditions. In the second step, glycoengineered cells were modified with fluorescent dyes using Cu-mediated click chemistry. In these analyses, the two mannose derivatives showed superior incorporation efficiencies compared to glucose and galactose isomers. In time-dependent experiments, the incorporation of Ac4ManNAz was detectable for up to six days while Ac4ManNAl-derived metabolites were absent after two days. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the successful metabolic glycoengineering of immortalized hMSC resulting in transient cell surface modifications, and thus present a useful model to address different scientific questions regarding glycosylation processes in skeletal precursors.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) is a small 18 kDa protein with clinical potential for ischemic heart disease, wound healing, and spinal cord injury. However, the therapeutic potential of systemic FGF-2 administration is challenged by its fast elimination. Therefore, we deployed genetic codon expansion to integrate an azide functionality to the FGF-2 N-terminus, which was site-directly decorated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) through bioorthogonal strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). PEGylated FGF-2 was as bioactive as wild-type FGF-2 as demonstrated by cell proliferation and Erk phosphorylation of fibroblasts. The PEGylated FGF-2 conjugate was radiolabeled with [111In] Indium cation ([111In]In3+) to study its biodistribution through noninvasive imaging by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and by quantitative activity analysis of the respective organs in healthy mice. This study details the biodistribution pattern of site-specific PEGylated FGF-2 in tissues after intravenous (iv) administration compared to the unconjugated protein. Low accumulation of the PEGylated FGF-2 variant in the kidney and the liver was demonstrated, whereas specific uptake of PEGylated FGF-2 into the retina was significantly diminished. In conclusion, site-specific PEGylation of FGF-2 by SPAAC resulted in a superior outcome for the synthesis yield and in conjugates with excellent biological performances with a gain of half-life but reduced tissue access in vivo.

Abstract
Sphingolipids and glycosphingolipids can regulate cell recognition and signalling. Ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate are major players in the sphingolipid pathways and are involved in the initiation and regulation of signalling, apoptosis, stress responses and infection. Specific chemically synthesised sphingolipid derivatives containing small functionalities like azide or alkyne can mimic the biological properties of natural lipid species, which turns them into useful tools for the investigation of the highly complex sphingolipid metabolism by rapid and selective 'click chemistry' using sensitive tags like fluorophores. Subsequent analysis by various fluorescence microscopy techniques or mass spectrometry allows the identification and quantification of the corresponding sphingolipid metabolites as well as the research of associated enzymes. Here we present an overview of recent advances in the synthesis of ceramide and sphingosine analogues for bioorthogonal click reactions to study biosynthetic pathways and localization of sphingolipids for the development of novel therapeutics against lipid-dependent diseases.

Abstract
Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction in the major groove of DNA containing 5-ethynyluracil (UE ) with azides was used for turning off sequence-specific protein-DNA interactions. The concept was first demonstrated on switching off cleavage of short modified DNA by restriction endonuclease BamHI-HF. Finally, DNA template containing UE was used for in vitro transcription with E. coli RNA polymerase and the transcription was turned off by CuAAC with 3-azidopropane-1,2-diol or 3-azido-7-hydroxycoumarin.

Abstract
Emerging strategies targeting site-specific protein modifications allow for unprecedented selectivity, fast kinetics and mild reaction conditions with high yield. These advances open exciting novel possibilities for the effective bioorthogonal decoration of biomaterials with therapeutic proteins. Site-specificity is particularly important to the therapeutics' end and translated by targeting specific functional groups or introducing new functional groups into the therapeutic at predefined positions. Biomimetic strategies are designed for modification of therapeutics emulating enzymatic strategies found in Nature. These strategies are suitable for a diverse range of applications - not only for protein-polymer conjugation, particle decoration and surface immobilization, but also for the decoration of complex biomaterials and the synthesis of bioresponsive drug delivery systems. This article reviews latest chemical and enzymatic strategies for the biorthogonal decoration of biomaterials with therapeutic proteins and inter-positioned linker structures. Finally, the numerous reports at the interface of biomaterials, linkers, and therapeutic protein decoration are integrated into practical advice for design considerations intended to support the selection of productive ligation strategies.

Abstract
A large amount of proteins are post-translationally modified with a sialic acid terminal oligosaccharide, and sialylation directly affects the function of glycoproteins and adjusts relevant biological processes. Herein, we developed a method for imaging analysis of protein-specific sialylation on the cell surface via silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) plasmonic enhanced Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). In this strategy, the target monosaccharide was labelled with the FRET acceptor of Cy5 via bioorthogonal chemistry. In addition, aptamer linked AgNPs were combined with the Cy3 fluorophore by DNA hybridization as the FRET donor probe, which could be conjugated to the target glycoprotein based on specific aptamer-protein recognition. The Cy5 fluorescence signal was obtained under the Cy3 excitation wavelength via FRET. Moreover, the FRET fluorescence signal was obviously enhanced owing to the plasmonic effect of AgNPs at an appropriate distance to Cy3 on the cell surface. Hence, the protein-specific sialic acids were detected with high contrast. The results showed that the AgNP plasmonic enhanced FRET method was not only superior to the bare FRET method but also can be used to evaluate the expression of sialoglycoproteins in different cell types under pharmacological treatments. The AgNP plasmonic enhanced FRET method provides a valuable tool in the research of glycan metabolism biological processes, the active site of glycoproteins and drug screening.

Abstract
The combination of protein display technologies and noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) offers unprecedented opportunities for the high throughput discovery and characterization of molecules suitable for addressing fundamental and applied problems in biological systems. Here we demonstrate that ncAA-compatible yeast display facilitates evaluations of conjugation chemistry and stability that would be challenging or impossible to perform with existing mRNA, phage, or E. coli platforms. Our approach enables site-specific introduction of ncAAs into displayed proteins, robust modification at azide-containing residues, and quantitative evaluation of conjugates directly on the yeast surface. Moreover, screening allows for the selective enrichment of chemically modified constructs while maintaining a genotype-phenotype linkage with encoded azide functionalities. Thus, this platform is suitable for the high throughput characterization and screening of libraries of chemically modified polypeptides for therapeutic lead discovery and other biological applications.

Probing unnatural amino acid integration into enhanced green fluorescent protein by genetic code expansion with a high-throughput screening platform. J Biol Eng 2016; 10:11. [PMID: 27733867 PMCID: PMC5045631 DOI: 10.1186/s13036-016-0031-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2016] [Accepted: 09/14/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic code expansion has developed into an elegant tool to incorporate unnatural amino acids (uAA) at predefined sites in the protein backbone in response to an amber codon. However, recombinant production and yield of uAA comprising proteins are challenged due to the additional translation machinery required for uAA incorporation. RESULTS We developed a microtiter plate-based high-throughput monitoring system (HTMS) to study and optimize uAA integration in the model protein enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP). Two uAA, propargyl-L-lysine (Plk) and (S)-2-amino-6-((2-azidoethoxy) carbonylamino) hexanoic acid (Alk), were incorporated at the same site into eGFP co-expressing the native PylRS/tRNAPylCUA pair originating from Methanosarcina barkeri in E. coli. The site-specific uAA functionalization was confirmed by LC-MS/MS analysis. uAA-eGFP production and biomass growth in parallelized E. coli cultivations was correlated to (i) uAA concentration and the (ii) time of uAA addition to the expression medium as well as to induction parameters including the (iii) time and (iv) amount of IPTG supplementation. The online measurements of the HTMS were consolidated by end point-detection using standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent procedures. CONCLUSION The developed HTMS is powerful tool for parallelized and rapid screening. In light of uAA integration, future applications may include parallelized screening of different PylRS/tRNAPylCUA pairs as well as further optimization of culture conditions.
