Abstract
![]()
Multiple conjugation
of virus-binding ligands to multivalent carriers
is a prominent strategy to construct highly affine virus binders for
the inhibition of viral entry into host cells. In a previous study,
we introduced rationally designed sialic acid conjugates of bacteriophages
(Qβ) that match the triangular binding site geometry on hemagglutinin
spike proteins of influenza A virions, resulting in effective infection
inhibition in vitro and in vivo.
In this work, we demonstrate that even partially sialylated Qβ
conjugates retain the inhibitory effect despite reduced activity.
These observations not only support the importance of trivalent binding
events in preserving high affinity, as supported by computational
modeling, but also allow us to construct heterobifunctional modalities.
Capsids carrying two different sialic acid ligand–linker structures
showed higher viral inhibition than their monofunctional counterparts.
Furthermore, capsids carrying a fluorescent dye in addition to sialic
acid ligands were used to track their interaction with cells. These
findings support exploring broader applications as multivalent inhibitors
in the future.

Abstract
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) participates in many cancer-related metabolic processes. The inhibition of overexpressed Gal-3 by, e.g., β-galactoside-derived inhibitors is hence promising for cancer treatment. The multivalent presentation of such inhibitors on a suitable biocompatible carrier can enhance the overall affinity to Gal-3 and favorably modify the interaction with Gal-3-overexpressing cells. We synthesized a library of C-3 aryl-substituted thiodigalactoside inhibitors and their multivalent N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA)-based counterparts with two different glycomimetic contents. Glycopolymers with a higher content of glycomimetic exhibited a higher affinity to Gal-3 as assessed by ELISA and biolayer interferometry. Among them, four candidates (with 4-acetophenyl, 4-cyanophenyl, 4-fluorophenyl, and thiophen-3-yl substitution) were selected for further evaluation in cancer-related experiments in cell cultures. These glycopolymers inhibited Gal-3-induced processes in cancer cells. The cyanophenyl-substituted glycopolymer exhibited the strongest antiproliferative, antimigratory, antiangiogenic, and immunoprotective properties. The prepared glycopolymers appear to be prospective modulators of the tumor microenvironment applicable in the therapy of Gal-3-associated cancers.

Abstract
In light of the 2018 Max Bergmann Medal, this review discusses advancements on chemical biology-driven templated chemistry developed in the author's laboratories. The focused review introduces the template categories applied to orient functional units such as functional groups, chromophores, biomolecules, or ligands in space. Unimolecular templates applied in protein synthesis facilitate fragment coupling of unprotected peptides. Templating via bimolecular assemblies provides control over proximity relationships between functional units of two molecules. As an instructive example, the coiled coil peptide-templated labelling of receptor proteins on live cells will be shown. Termolecular assemblies provide the opportunity to put the proximity of functional units on two (bio)molecules under the control of a third party molecule. This allows the design of conditional bimolecular reactions. A notable example is DNA/RNA-triggered peptide synthesis. The last section shows how termolecular and multimolecular assemblies can be used to better characterize and understand multivalent protein-ligand interactions.

Abstract
A convenient method for the preparation of oligonucleotides containing internally-attached galactose and triantennary galactose units has been developed based on click chemistry between 2′-N-alkyne 2′-amino-LNA nucleosides and azido-functionalized galactosyl building blocks. The synthesized oligonucleotides show excellent binding affinity and selectivity towards complementary DNA/RNA strands with an increase in the melting temperature of up to +23.5 °C for triply-modified variants.

Abstract
As is the case in numerous natural processes, enzymatic phosphorylation can be used in the laboratory to influence the conformational populations of proteins. In nature, this information is used for signal transduction or energy transfer, but has also been shown to play an important role in many diseases like tauopathies or diabetes. With the goal of determining the effect of phosphorylation on amyloid fibril formation, we designed a model peptide which combines structural characteristics of α-helical coiled-coils and β-sheets in one sequence. This peptide undergoes a conformational transition from soluble structures into insoluble amyloid fibrils over time and under physiological conditions and contains a recognition motif for PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase) that enables enzymatic phosphorylation. We have analyzed the pathway of amyloid formation and the influence of enzymatic phosphorylation on the different states along the conformational transition from random-coil to β-sheet-rich oligomers to protofilaments and on to insoluble amyloid fibrils, and we found a remarkable directing effect from β-sheet-rich structures to unfolded structures in the initial growth phase, in which small oligomers and protofilaments prevail if the peptide is phosphorylated.

Abstract
To add new tools to the repertoire of protein-based multivalent scaffold design, we have developed a novel dual-labeling strategy for proteins that combines residue-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids with chemical oxidative aldehyde formation at the N-terminus of a protein. Our approach relies on the selective introduction of two different functional moieties in a protein by mutually orthogonal copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and oxime ligation. This method was applied to the conjugation of biotin and β-linked galactose residues to yield an enzymatically active thermophilic lipase, which revealed specific binding to Erythrina cristagalli lectin by SPR binding studies.

Abstract
The delivery of free molecules into the cytoplasm and nucleus by using arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) has been limited to small cargoes, while large cargoes such as proteins are taken up and trapped in endocytic vesicles. Based on recent work, in which we showed that the transduction efficiency of arginine-rich CPPs can be greatly enhanced by cyclization, the aim was to use cyclic CPPs to transport full-length proteins, in this study green fluorescent protein (GFP), into the cytosol of living cells. Cyclic and linear CPP-GFP conjugates were obtained by using azido-functionalized CPPs and an alkyne-functionalized GFP. Our findings reveal that the cyclic-CPP-GFP conjugates are internalized into live cells with immediate bioavailability in the cytosol and the nucleus, whereas linear CPP analogues do not confer GFP transduction. This technology expands the application of cyclic CPPs to the efficient transport of functional full-length proteins into live cells.

Abstract
Protein toxins produced by bacteria are the cause of many life-threatening diarrheal diseases. Many of these toxins, including cholera toxin (CT), enter the cell by first binding to glycolipids in the cell membrane. Inhibiting these multivalent protein/carbohydrate interactions would prevent the toxin from entering cells and causing diarrhea. Here we demonstrate that the site-specific modification of a protein scaffold, which is perfectly matched in both size and valency to the target toxin, provides a convenient route to an effective multivalent inhibitor. The resulting pentavalent neoglycoprotein displays an inhibition potency (IC50) of 104 pM for the CT B-subunit (CTB), which is the most potent pentavalent inhibitor for this target reported thus far. Complexation of the inhibitor and CTB resulted in a protein heterodimer. This inhibition strategy can potentially be applied to many multivalent receptors and also opens up new possibilities for protein assembly strategies.

Abstract
Glycoproteins with chemically defined glycosylation sites and structures are important biopharmaceutical targets and critical tools for glycobiology. One approach toward constructing such molecules involves chemical glycosylation of aldehyde-tagged proteins. Here, we report the installation of a genetically encoded aldehyde tag at the internal glycosylation site of the crystallizable fragment (Fc) of IgG1. We replaced the natural Fc N-glycosylation sequon with a five amino-acid sequence that was efficiently converted by recombinant formylglycine generating enzyme in vitro, thereby introducing aldehyde groups for subsequent chemical elaboration. Oxime-linked glycoconjugates were synthesized by conjugating aminooxy N-acetylglucosamine to the modified Fc followed by enzymatic transfer of complex N-glycans from corresponding glycan oxazolines by an EndoS-derived glycosynthase. In this manner we generated specific Fc glycoforms without relying on natural protein glycosylation machineries.

Abstract
![]()
Herein,
we report a method for in vitro selection of multivalent
glycopeptides, combining mRNA display with incorporation of unnatural
amino acids and “click” chemistry. We have demonstrated
the use of this method to design potential glycopeptide vaccines against
HIV. From libraries of ∼1013 glycopeptides containing
multiple Man9 glycan(s), we selected variants that bind
to HIV broadly neutralizing antibody 2G12 with picomolar to low nanomolar
affinity. This is comparable to the strength of the natural 2G12–gp120
interaction, and is the strongest affinity achieved to date with constructs
containing 3–5 glycans. These glycopeptides are therefore of
great interest in HIV vaccine design.

Abstract
Local protein microenvironment is used to control the outcome of reaction between cysteine residues and 2,5-dibromohexanediamide. The differential reactivity is exploited to introduce two orthogonal reactive handles onto the surface of a double cysteine mutant of superfolder green fluorescent protein in a regioselective manner. Subsequent elaboration with commonly used thiol and alkyne containing reagents affects site-selective protein dual labelling.

Abstract
The non-canonical amino acid (ncAA) analogue of methionine (Met), β-cyclopropylalanine (Cpa), was successfully incorporated into recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli in a residue-specific manner. Proteins substituted in this way are congeners because they derive from the same gene sequence as the parent protein but contain a fraction of ncAAs. We have expressed congeners using parent and mutant gene sequences of various proteins (lipase, annexin A5, enhanced green fluorescent protein, and barstar) and found that Cpa incorporation is highly dependent on the protein sequence composition. These results indicate that the global amino acid composition of proteins might be a crucial parameter that influences the outcome of unnatural translation. In addition, we could also demonstrate that the chemical nature of the second residue could be essential for successful ncAA incorporation.

Abstract
Ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins are composed of tandem repeats of a basic structural motif of ca. 33 amino acid residues that form a β-turn followed by two antiparallel α-helices. Multiple repeats stack together in a modular fashion to form a scaffold that is ideally suited for the presentation of multiple functional groups and/or recognition elements. Here we describe a biosynthetic strategy that takes advantage of the modular nature of these proteins to generate multivalent ligands that are both chemically homogeneous and structurally well-defined. Glycosylated AR proteins cluster the tetrameric lectin concanavalin A (Con A) at a rate that is comparable to the rate of Con A aggregation mediated by globular protein conjugates and variable density linear polymers. Thus, AR proteins define a new class of multivalent ligand scaffolds that have significant potential application in the study and control of a variety of multivalent interactions.
