Abstract
The abnormal activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is strongly associated with cancer invasion and metastasis. Tools and methods are required to study and visualize EGFR activation under (patho)physiological conditions. Here, we report the development of a two-step photoaffinity probe (HX101) by incorporation of a diazirine as a photoreactive group and an alkyne as a ligation handle to quantitively study EGFR kinase activity in native cellular contexts and human tissue slices. HX101 is a multifunctional probe based on the pharmacophore of the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) and can covalently target the EGFR upon photoactivation. The incorporated alkyne serves as a versatile ligation handle and enables HX101 to introduce distinct reporter groups (e.g., fluorophore and biotin) via click chemistry. With variable reporter tags, HX101 enables visualization and target engagement studies of the active EGFR in a panel of cancer cells using flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and mass spectrometry. Furthermore, as a proof of concept study, we applied HX101 in stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy super-resolution imaging to study EGFR activation in live cells. Importantly, HX101 was also applied to visualize EGFR mutant activity in tumor tissues from lung cancer patients for prediction of EGFR-TKI sensitivity. Altogether, our results demonstrate the wide application of a selective photoaffinity probe in multi-modal assessment/visualization of EGFR activity in both live cells and tissue slices. We anticipate that these diverse applications can facilitate the translation of a strategically functionalized probe into medical use.

Abstract
Nearly all FDA approved drugs and bioactive small molecules exert their effects by binding to and modulating proteins. Consequently, understanding how small molecules interact with proteins at an molecular level is a central challenge of modern chemical biology and drug development. Complementary to structure-guided approaches, chemoproteomics has emerged as a method capable of high-throughput identification of proteins covalently bound by small molecules. To profile noncovalent interactions, established chemoproteomic workflows typically incorporate photoreactive moieties into small molecule probes, which enable trapping of small molecule-protein interactions (SMPIs). This strategy, termed photoaffinity labelling (PAL), has been utilized to profile an array of small molecule interactions, including for drugs, lipids, metabolites, and cofactors. Herein we describe the discovery of photocrosslinking chemistries, including a comparison of the strengths and limitations of implementation of each chemotype in chemoproteomic workflows. In addition, we highlight key examples where photoaffinity labelling has enabled target deconvolution and interaction site mapping.

Abstract
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a technique that uses highly selective active-site targeted chemical probes to label and monitor the state of proteins. ABPP integrates the strengths of both chemical and biological disciplines. By utilizing chemically synthesized or modified bioactive molecules, ABPP is able to reveal complex physiological and pathological enzyme-substrate interactions at molecular and cellular levels. It is also able to provide critical information of the catalytic activity changes of enzymes, annotate new functions of enzymes, discover new substrates of enzymes, and allow real-time monitoring of the cellular location of enzymes. Based on the mechanism of probe-enzyme interaction, two types of probes that have been used in ABPP are activity-based probes (ABPs) and affinity-based probes (AfBPs). This review highlights the recent advances in the use of ABPs and AfBPs, and summarizes their design strategies (based on inhibitors and substrates) and detection approaches.

Abstract
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has become an emerging chemical proteomic approach to illustrate the interaction mechanisms between compounds and proteins. This approach has combined organic synthesis, biochemistry, cell biology, biophysics and bioinformatics to accelerate the process of drug discovery in target identification and validation, as well as in the stage of lead discovery and optimization. This review will summarize new developments and applications of ABPP in medicinal chemistry. Here, we mainly described the design principles of activity-base probes (ABPs) and general workflows of ABPP approach. Moreover, we discussed various basic and advanced ABPP strategies and their applications in medicinal chemistry, including competitive and comparative ABPP, two-step ABPP, fluorescence polarization ABPP (FluoPol-ABPP) and ABPs for visualization. In conclusion, this review will give a general overview of the applications of ABPP as a powerful and efficient technique in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
"Minimalist" small molecule tagging (MSMT) is a promising approach that easily converts bioactive compounds into affinity-based probes (AfBPs) for proteomic studies. In this work, seven bioactive compounds targeting diversified protein classes were installed with "minimalist" linkers through common reactions to generate the corresponding AfBPs. These probes were evaluated for cell-based protein profiling and target validation. Among them, the entinostat-derived probe EN and the camptothecin-derived probe CA were further utilized in cellular imaging and SILAC-based large-scale target identification. Our extensive studies suggest that the "minimalist" small molecule tagging approach could be expanded to different classes of bioactive compounds for modification into AfBPs as a dual functional tool for both proteomics and cellular imaging.

Abstract
Bromodomain-containing proteins are epigenetic modulators involved in a wide range of cellular processes, from recruitment of transcription factors to pathological disruption of gene regulation and cancer development. Since the druggability of these acetyl-lysine reader domains was established, efforts were made to develop potent and selective inhibitors across the entire family. Here we report the development of a small molecule-based approach to covalently modify recombinant and endogenous bromodomain-containing proteins by targeting a conserved lysine and a tyrosine residue in the variable ZA or BC loops. Moreover, the addition of a reporter tag allowed in-gel visualization and pull-down of the desired bromodomains.

Abstract
Photoaffinity labeling (PAL) in combination with a chemical probe to covalently bind its target upon UV irradiation has demonstrated considerable promise in drug discovery for identifying new drug targets and binding sites. In particular, carbene-mediated photoaffinity labeling (cmPAL) has been widely used in drug target identification owing to its excellent photolabeling efficiency, minimal steric interference and longer excitation wavelength. Specifically, diazirines, which are among the precursors of carbenes and have higher carbene yields and greater chemical stability than diazo compounds, have proved to be valuable photolabile reagents in a diverse range of biological systems. This review highlights current advances of cmPAL in medicinal chemistry, with a focus on structures and applications for identifying small molecule-protein and macromolecule-protein interactions and ligand-gated ion channels, coupled with advances in the discovery of targets and inhibitors using carbene precursor-based biological probes developed in recent decades.

Abstract
Target identification is a high-priority, albeit challenging, aspect of drug discovery. Diazirine-based photoaffinity probes (PAPs) can facilitate the process by covalently capturing transient molecular interactions. This can help identify target proteins and map the ligand's interactome. Diazirine probes have even been incorporated by cellular machinery into proteins. Embarking on the synthesis of customized PAPs, containing either an aliphatic or trifluoromethyl phenyl diazirine, can be a considerable endeavor, particularly for medicinal chemists and chemical biologists new to the field. This review takes a synthetic focus, aiming to summarize available routes, propose new avenues, and illuminate recent advances in diazirine synthesis. Select examples of diazirine photoaffinity labeling applications have been included throughout to provide instructive definition of the advantages and limitations of the technology while simultaneously highlighting how these reagents can be applied in a practical sense.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) trigger a wide range of biological signaling pathways that are crucial for biomedical research and drug discovery. Various techniques have been used to study specific proteins, including affinity chromatography, activity-based probes, affinity-based probes and photo-affinity labeling (PAL). PAL has become one of the most powerful strategies to study PPIs. Traditional photocrosslinkers are used in PAL, including benzophenone, aryl azide, and diazirine. Upon photoirradiation, these photocrosslinkers (Pls) generate highly reactive species that react with adjacent molecules, resulting in a direct covalent modification. This review introduces recent examples of chemical proteomics study using PAL for PPIs.

Abstract
![]()
Post-translational
modifications of histones by protein methyltransferases
(PMTs) and histone demethylases (KDMs) play an important role in the
regulation of gene expression and transcription and are implicated
in cancer and many other diseases. Many of these enzymes also target
various nonhistone proteins impacting numerous crucial biological
pathways. Given their key biological functions and implications in
human diseases, there has been a growing interest in assessing these
enzymes as potential therapeutic targets. Consequently, discovering
and developing inhibitors of these enzymes has become a very active
and fast-growing research area over the past decade. In this review,
we cover the discovery, characterization, and biological application
of inhibitors of PMTs and KDMs with emphasis on key advancements in
the field. We also discuss challenges, opportunities, and future directions
in this emerging, exciting research field.

Abstract
Methylation is a fundamental mechanism used in Nature to modify the structure and function of biomolecules, including proteins, DNA, RNA, and metabolites. Methyl groups are predominantly installed into biomolecules by a large and diverse class of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferases (MTs), of which there are ∼200 known or putative members in the human proteome. Deregulated MT activity contributes to numerous diseases, including cancer, and several MT inhibitors are in clinical development. Nonetheless, a large fraction of the human MT family remains poorly characterized, underscoring the need for new technologies to characterize MTs and their inhibitors in native biological systems. Here, we describe a suite of S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) photoreactive probes and their application in chemical proteomic experiments to profile and enrich a large number of MTs (>50) from human cancer cell lysates with remarkable specificity over other classes of proteins. We further demonstrate that the SAH probes can enrich MT-associated proteins and be used to screen for and assess the selectivity of MT inhibitors, leading to the discovery of a covalent inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme implicated in cancer and metabolic disorders. The chemical proteomics probes and methods for their utilization reported herein should prove of value for the functional characterization of MTs, MT complexes, and MT inhibitors in mammalian biology and disease.
