Combinatorial Peptide Ligand Library-Based Photoaffinity Probe for the Identification of Phosphotyrosine-Binding Domain Proteins.
Analytical chemistry(2019)
Abstract
Phosphotyrosine (pY) serves as a docking site for the recognition proteins containing pY-binding (pYB) modules, such as the SH2 domain, to mediate cell signal transduction. Thus, it is vital to profile these binding proteins for understanding of signal regulation. However, identification of pYB proteins remains a significant challenge due to their low abundance and typically weak and transient interactions with pY sites. Herein, we designed and prepared a pY-peptide photoaffinity probe for the robust and specific enrichment and identification of its binding proteins. Using SHC1-pY317 as a paradigm, we showed that the developed probe enables to capture target protein with high selectivity and remarkable specificity even in a complex context. Notably, we expanded the strategy to a combinatorial pY-peptide-based photoaffinity probe by using combinatorial peptide ligand library (CPLL) technique and identified 24 SH2 domain proteins, which presents a deeper profiling of pYB proteins than previous reports using affinity probes. Moreover, the method can be used to mine putative pYB proteins and confirmed PKN2 as a selective binder to pY, expanding the repertoire of known domain proteins. Our approach provides a general strategy for rapid and robust interrogating pYB proteins and will promote the understanding of the signal transduction mechanism.
