The identification of specific interactions between of immobilization of small molecules have been small molecules and human proteins of interest is a improved, but prior strategies rely on incubation with fundamental step in chemical biology and drug develop- a purified protein of interest. To resolve the problem, ment. Here we describe an efficient method to obtain Bradner and co-workers established a robust chemical novel binding ligands of human proteins by a chemical array platform with mammalian cell lysates.12) This array approach. Our method includes large-scale ligand method made possible the detection of interactions with screening with two libraries, proteins and chemicals, the a broad range of binding affinity using epitope-tagged or use of cell lysates that express proteins of interest fused chimeric fluorescent proteins without purification. The with red fluorescent protein, and high-throughput use of cell lysates instead of purified proteins is screening by merged display analysis, which removes motivated by the facts that the mammalian proteins false positive signals from array experiments.

Fig. 1. Overview of Systematic Chemical Array Screening Method. Human genes of interest are cloned and restriction enzyme-digested fragments are inserted into pDsRed-Express and sequenced. GLORIA contains 100 genes, which can be expressed as RFP-fused proteins in mammalian cells. HEK 293T cells are transfected with vectors encoding RFP fused-proteins or RFP for 24 h. After transfection, cell lysates are prepared for incubation with glass slides, where compounds from NPDepo are immobilized in duplicate by a photo-crosslinking technique. Detection of ‘‘hit ligands’’ is done by merged display analysis. Spots that interact with RFP or RFP-fused proteins are designated green and red respectively. After two slides are merged, true hit compounds are detected as red signals, while false positive signals are yellow.

GLORIA have various functions, such as transferase forms, such as membrane proteins (e.g., Bcl-xL and activity (7%), hydrolase activity, (15%), lyase activity Aggrus). Furthermore, many kinds of post-translational (2%), and non-enzyme proteins (60%). For example, modifications occur in the proteins encoded in GLORIA, transferases contain protein kinases, which include some but if these proteins were expressed by E. coli, they clinical therapeutic targets (e.g., aurora kinase B and would not be modified. In sum, it appears that the MEK1).

Identification of novel ligands for carbonic anhydrase To evaluate the inhibitory activities and binding II by the chemical array platform abilities of 1 and 2 to CAII, we performed an enzyme To obtain novel ligands for CAII, we spotted about assay and ITC measurement. The enzyme assay was 10,000 compounds from NPDepo, and then carried out done in buffer with CAII and 4-nitrophenylacetate as screening with cell lysates from HEK293T-expressed substrates.21,22) 1 and 2 showed strong inhibitory CAII-RFP.
