Development of 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate-derived glucoside amphiphiles (ACAs) for membrane protein study. Chem Sci 2022; 13:5750-5759.

Abstract
Detergents are extensively used for membrane protein manipulation. Membrane proteins solubilized in conventional detergents are prone to denaturation and aggregation, rendering downstream characterization of these bio-macromolecules difficult. Although many amphiphiles have been developed to overcome the limited efficacy of conventional detergents for protein stabilization, only a handful of novel detergents have so far proved useful for membrane protein structural studies. Here, we introduce 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate-derived amphiphiles (ACAs) containing three glucose units and two alkyl chains as head and tail groups, respectively. The ACAs incorporate two different patterns of alkyl chain attachment to the core detergent unit, generating two sets of amphiphiles: ACA-As (asymmetrically alkylated) and ACA-Ss (symmetrically alkylated). The difference in the attachment pattern of the detergent alkyl chains resulted in minor variation in detergent properties such as micelle size, critical micelle concentration, and detergent behaviors toward membrane protein extraction and stabilization. In contrast, the impact of the detergent alkyl chain length on protein stability was marked. The two C11 variants (ACA-AC11 and ACA-SC11) were most effective at stabilizing the tested membrane proteins. The current study not only introduces new glucosides as tools for membrane protein study, but also provides detergent structure–property relationships important for future design of novel amphiphiles. Newly developed amphiphiles, designated ACAs, are not only efficient at extracting G protein-coupled receptors from the membranes, but also conferred enhanced stability to the receptors compared to the gold standards (DDM and LMNG).![]()

Abstract
Despite the continuous efforts, the current repertoire of detergents is still far from sufficient for the biophysics studies of membrane proteins (MPs). Toward the rapid expansion of detergent diversity, we herein report a new strategy based on Ugi reaction mediated modular assembly. Structural varieties, including hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads, could be conveniently introduced from the multiple reaction components. New detergents then were comprehensively evaluated in the physical properties and preliminarily screened by the thermal stabilization for a transporter MsbA and a spectrum of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). For the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a class B GPCR, detergent M-23-M finally stood out in a second evaluation for the maintenance of homogeneity and was further illustrated its application in the improvement of NMR study. Besides the promising utility in the MP study, the current results exhibit intriguing structural-physical relationship that would allow the guidance in the tuning of detergent properties in the future.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) drug research is presently hindered by the technical challenges associated with generating purified receptors. Consequently, the application of critical modern discovery technologies has been limited, and the vast untapped opportunity for new GPCR-directed medicines is not being realised. A simple but transformative solution is to purify receptors without removing them from their native phospholipid environment by using polymer lipid particle (PoLiPa) technology, with reagents such as styrene-maleic acid co-polymer (SMA). Compared with contemporary detergent-based and stabilising mutagenesis methods, the PoLiPa approach is simple and generic and, therefore, offers huge advantages, with the potential to revolutionise GPCR research by facilitating the availability of the purified receptors that are required for structural biology, biophysical, and panning technologies.

Abstract
Despite their major biological and pharmacological significance, the structural and functional study of membrane proteins remains a significant challenge. A main issue is the isolation of these proteins in a stable and functional state from native lipid membranes. Detergents are amphiphilic compounds widely used to extract membrane proteins from the native membranes and maintain them in a stable form during downstream analysis. However, due to limitations of conventional detergents, it is essential to develop novel amphiphiles with optimal properties for protein stability in order to advance membrane protein research. Here we designed and synthesized 1,3,5-triazine-cored dimaltoside amphiphiles derived from cyanuric chloride. By introducing variations in the alkyl chain linkage (ether/thioether) and an amine-functionalized diol linker (serinol/diethanolamine), we prepared two sets of 1,3,5-triazine-based detergents. When tested with several model membrane proteins, these agents showed remarkable efficacy in stabilizing three transporters and two G protein-coupled receptors. Detergent behavior substantially varied depending on the detergent structural variation, allowing us to explore detergent structure-property-efficacy relationships. The 1,3,5-triazine-based detergents introduced here have significant potential for membrane protein study as a consequence of their structural diversity and universal stabilization efficacy for several membrane proteins.

Abstract
Membrane proteins allow effective communication between cells and organelles and their external environments. Maintaining membrane protein stability in a non-native environment is the major bottleneck to their structural study. Detergents are widely used to extract membrane proteins from the membrane and to keep the extracted protein in a stable state for downstream characterisation. In this study, three sets of steroid-based amphiphiles-glyco-diosgenin analogues (GDNs) and steroid-based pentasaccharides either lacking a linker (SPSs) or containing a linker (SPS-Ls)-have been developed as new chemical tools for membrane protein research. These detergents were tested with three membrane proteins in order to characterise their ability to extract membrane proteins from the membrane and to stabilise membrane proteins long-term. Some of the detergents, particularly the SPS-Ls, displayed favourable behaviour with the tested membrane proteins. This result indicates the potential utility of these detergents as chemical tools for membrane protein structural study and a critical role of the simple alkyl spacer in determining detergent efficacy.
