Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are indispensable in almost all cellular processes. Probing of complex PPIs provides new insights into the biological system of interest and paves the way for the development of therapeutics. Herein, we report a strategy for the capture of protein-protein interactions using photoaffinity palladium reagents. First, the palladium-mediated reagent site specifically transferred a photoaffinity modified aryl group to the designated cysteine residue. Next, the photoaffinity group was activated by UV radiation to trap the proximal protein residue for the formation of a crosslink. This strategy was used to capture the PYL-ABA-PP2C interaction, which is at the core of the abscisic acid (ABA) signalling pathway. Our results indicated that this palladium-mediated strategy can serve as an alternative for incorporating an increasing number of diverse substrates for protein crosslinking through cysteine modifications and can be explored for use in mapping protein-peptide or protein-protein interaction surfaces and in trapping potential interacting partners.

A stereospecific convergent synthesis of N-[(9-fluorenyl)methoxycarbonyl]- p-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]-L-phenylalanine (Fmoc-12, Fmoc-Tdf) and its incorporation into the C-terminal position of the angiotensin II (AngII) peptide to form 125I[Sar1,Tdf8]AngII ( 125I-13) is presented. This amino acid photoprobe is a highly reactive carbene-generating diazirine phenylalanine derivative that can be used for photoaffinity labeling. Using model receptors, we compared the reactivity and the Met selectivity of 12 to that of the widely used and reputedly Met-selectivep-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine (Bpa) photoprobe. Wild-type and mutant AngII type 2 receptors, a G protein-coupled receptors, were photolabeled with 125I-13 as well as with 125I-[Sar1,Bpa 8]AngII (125I-14), and the respective incorporation yields were assessed. The carbene-generating 12 was more reactive toward inert residues and was not Met-selective compared to the biradical ketone-generating Bpa, allowing for more precise determination of ligand contact points in peptidergic receptors.
