Site-Specific Conversion of Cysteine in a Protein to Dehydroalanine Using 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid

Molecules 2021 Apr 29;26(9):2619.PMID:33947165DOI:10.3390/molecules26092619.

Dehydroalanine exists natively in certain proteins and can also be chemically made from the protein cysteine. As a strong Michael acceptor, dehydroalanine in proteins has been explored to undergo reactions with different thiolate reagents for making close analogues of post-translational modifications (PTMs), including a variety of lysine PTMs. The chemical reagent 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid (NTCB) selectively modifies cysteine to form S-cyano-cysteine, in which the S-Cβ bond is highly polarized. We explored the labile nature of this bond for triggering E2 elimination to generate dehydroalanine. Our results indicated that when cysteine is at the flexible C-terminal end of a protein, the dehydroalanine formation is highly effective. We produced ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins with a C-terminal dehydroalanine residue with high yields. When cysteine is located at an internal region of a protein, the efficiency of the reaction varies with mainly hydrolysis products observed. Dehydroalanine in proteins such as ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins can serve as probes for studying pathways involving ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins and it is also a starting point to generate proteins with many PTM analogues; therefore, we believe that this NTCB-triggered dehydroalanine formation method will find broad applications in studying ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like protein pathways and the functional annotation of many PTMs in proteins such as histones.

Alternative products in the reaction of 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid with thiol groups

Biochem J 1976 Oct 1;159(1):177-80.PMID:999637DOI:10.1042/bj1590177.

2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid has been proposed as a reagent for converting thiol groups in proteins into their S-cyano derivatives. Evidence was obtained for formation of both the S-cyano derivative and the mixed disulphide derivative. Formation of the S-cyano derivative can be promoted by addition of excess of CN-to the reaction mixture.

Identification of alternative products and optimization of 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid cyanylation and cleavage at cysteine residues

Anal Biochem 2004 Nov 1;334(1):48-61.PMID:15464952DOI:10.1016/j.ab.2004.08.008.

The reagent 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid (NTCB) is commonly used to cyanylate and cleave proteins at cysteine residues, but this two-step reaction requires lengthy incubations and produces highly incomplete cleavages. In previous reports, incomplete cleavage was attributed to a competing beta-elimination reaction that converts cyanylated cysteine to dehydroalanine. In this study, previously unidentified side reactions of the NTCB cleavage were discovered and beta-elimination was not the major reaction competing with peptide bond cleavage. A major side reaction was identified as carbamylation of lysine residues. Carbamylation could be minimized by desalting the cyanylation reaction before cleavage or by reducing the reactant concentrations, but both methods suffered from further reductions in cleavage efficiency. Based on model peptide studies, poor cleavage was primarily caused by a mass neutral rearrangement of the cyanylated cysteine which produced a cleavage-resistant, nonreducible product. The formation of this product could be minimized by using stronger nucleophiles for the cleavage reaction. We discovered that base-catalyzed nucleophilic cleavage could be achieved with many amino-containing compounds. Most notably, glycine is capable of promoting efficient cleavage. In addition, efficient NTCB cleavage can be performed in a simple one-step method without a prior cyanylation step, rather than the previously described two-step reaction.

Structural and catalytic characteristics of Escherichia coli adenylate kinase

J Biol Chem 1987 Jan 15;262(2):622-9.PMID:3027060doi

The adk gene encoding adenylate kinase in Escherichia coli was cloned in pBR322. Adenylate kinase represented about 4% of total proteins in extracts of cells containing the pBR322:adk plasmid. This allowed preparation of more than 90% pure enzyme in a single-step purification procedure. Amino acid analysis, high performance liquid chromatography separation of trypsin digests, sequence analysis of most peptides, and determination of the N-terminal sequence of the whole protein confirmed the primary structure of E. coli adenylate kinase predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the adk gene (Brune, M., Schumann, R., and Wittinghofer, F. (1985) Nucleic Acids Res. 13, 7139-7151). 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid reacted with the single cysteine residue of E. coli adenylate kinase. The cyanylated protein was cleaved upon exposure to alkaline pH, yielding two peptides corresponding to residues 1-76 and 77-214, respectively. A mixture of purified peptides tended to reassociate, recovering both catalytic activity and binding properties for adenine nucleotides. E. coli adenylate kinase has a broader specificity for nucleoside monophosphates than does the mammalian enzyme. In addition to 2'-dAMP, other nucleoside monophosphates such as 3'-dAMP, adenine-9-beta-D-arabinofuranoside 5'-monophosphate, and 7-deazaadenosine (tubercidine) 5'-monophosphate were able to replace AMP as substrate.

Scrapie prion protein structural constraints obtained by limited proteolysis and mass spectrometry

J Mol Biol 2008 Sep 26;382(1):88-98.PMID:18621059DOI:10.1016/j.jmb.2008.06.070.

Elucidation of the structure of scrapie prion protein (PrP(Sc)), essential to understand the molecular mechanism of prion transmission, continues to be one of the major challenges in prion research and is hampered by the insolubility and polymeric character of PrP(Sc). Limited proteolysis is a useful tool to obtain insight on structural features of proteins: proteolytic enzymes cleave proteins more readily at exposed sites, preferentially within loops, and rarely in beta-strands. We treated PrP(Sc) isolated from brains of hamsters infected with 263K and drowsy prions with varying concentrations of proteinase K (PK). After PK deactivation, PrP(Sc) was denatured, reduced, and cleaved at Cys179 with 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic Acid. Fragments were analyzed by nano-HPLC/mass spectrometry and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. Besides the known cleavages at positions 90, 86, and 92 for 263K prions and at positions 86, 90, 92, 98, and 101 for drowsy prions, our data clearly demonstrate the existence of additional cleavage sites at more internal positions, including 117, 119, 135, 139, 142, and 154 in both strains. PK concentration dependence analysis and limited proteolysis after partial unfolding of PrP(Sc) confirmed that only the mentioned cleavage sites at the N-terminal side of the PrP(Sc) are susceptible to PK. Our results indicate that besides the "classic" amino-terminal PK cleavage points, PrP(Sc) contains, in its middle core, regions that show some degree of susceptibility to proteases and must therefore correspond to subdomains with some degree of structural flexibility, interspersed with stretches of amino acids of high resistance to proteases. These results are compatible with a structure consisting of short beta-sheet stretches connected by loops and turns.
