Chapter7| ActivityBased Serine Hydrolase Profiling Reveals Broad Reactivity of OAlkyl Methylphosphonofluoridates INTRODUCTION Activitybased profiling of enzymes has emerged as a powerful and broadly applicable techniquetoreportonenzymeactivitiesincomplexbiologicalsamples,andtorevealthe inhibitorypotentialandselectivityofnewlydesignedinhibitorsaimedat(asubsetof)the enzymes.1Thegenerallayoutofanactivitybasedprobeisasfollows.Arecognitionelement directstheprobetotheselectedenzyme,orenzymefamily,andspecificitycanbegeared suchthateitherasingleenzymeorabroadfamilyofenzymesistargeted.Thesearethen covalentlyandirreversiblyboundthroughreactionofnucleophilicfunctionalgroupsresiding within the active site with an electrophilic trap that matches the reactivity of the nucleophile. 127 Chapter7 In cases where an amino acid side chain is involved in catalysis, active site labelling is relatively easy and a variety of electrophilic traps aimed at serine hydrolases,2 cysteine hydrolases3 and threonine hydrolases4 have been described. Some enzyme families (metalloproteases,5 phosphatases6) however employ water as the nucleophile and here covalent modification is aimed for by installation of a photoreactive group within the activitybasedprobe.Thethirdgeneralelementthatdistinguishesanactivitybasedprobeis anidentificationand/orenrichmentelement,normallybiotinorafluorophore.Hereactivity basedprobescomeintwoflavours.Inthefirstthebiotinorfluorophoreisattacheddirectly totheprobe,2whereasinthesecond,forreasonsofcellpermeabilityorenzymerecognition, a2steplabelingapproachisappliedwhereafunctionalisedfluorophoreorbiotinismadeto react with the covalently and irreversibly modified enzymes by means of a bioorthogonal ligationreaction.7 Thegeneraloutlineofactivitybasedprobesasdescribedabovedictatesthattheseare mostsuitedforthestudyofenzymesthatemployanucleophilicaminoacidsidechainwithin their active sites. This holds true for the serine dependent enzymes, a family that encompasses such diverse activities as esterases, serine proteases and ester synthetases.8 Indeed,serinehydrolasesareidealtargetsforactivitybasedprofilingandoneoftheseminal studies defining the field of activitybased enzyme profiling is the development and application, by Cravatt and coworkers, of the biotinylated organophosphorus compound, FPbiotin(1,Figure1).2,9Ourinterestinserinehydrolaseenzymefamilyliesintheirreactivity towards small molecule Oalkyl methylphosphonofluoridates such as the illreputed nerve agentsarin2.10 Figure1;StructureofCravatt’scarbonmodifiedfluorophosphonate1,sarin2 andoxygenmodified methylfluorophoshonate3 128 ActivityBasedSerineHydrolaseProfiling Thetoxicityof2andrelatedcompoundstothemammaliannervoussystemisascribedto theirhighreactivitytowardsacetylcholinesterase(AChE).11However,recentreportsreveala broaderreactivityofthistypeofcompoundstowardsotherserinedependentenzymes.12We heredescribeourresultsintheactivitybasedprofilingmediatedestablishmentofarangeof sarinreactive serinedependent enzymes in liver and long tissue.

Forthelabellingandcompetitionstudiesweselectedthreerelevantbiologicalsamples, namely, rhesus monkey liver homogenate, human A549 lung cell lysates and intact A549 cells(Figure2ACrespectively).Thesesampleswereincubatedwithprobe3at10M,either intheabsenceorinthepresence(120M)ofsarin2.Afterstreptavidinpulldownofthe thus biotinylated proteins, these were resolved by SDSPAGE, the protein bands were excised from the gel and trypsin digested after which the resulting oligopeptides were identified by MALDITOF mass spectral analysis. The images of the gel slabs of the three tissue labelling experiments are depicted in Figure 2 and represent in each case labelling without(left)andinthepresenceof(right)sarin2.
