    摘要: Methods and reagents for site-selective functionalization of peptides and proteins. The methods most generally involve the reaction of a thioester with hydrazine. Reagents include bifunctional reagents of formula: H2N—NH—CH2-M-L-FG and salts thereof where M is a single bond or a chemical group carrying a non-bonding electron pair, such as —C(O)NR′—, where R′ is H, or an alkyl or aryl group; L is an optional linker group as described above; and FG is a functional group having reactivity that is orthongonal to that of the hydrazine group. FG can, among others, be an azide, alkenyl, alkynyl, nitrile (—CN) or triazole group and is preferably an azide group (—N3). Methods and reagents can, for example, be combined with intein-mediated protein splicing to link proteins or fragments thereof to various chemical species or to a surface. Surface immobilization of proteins via the methods herein results in immobilized proteins which substantially retain biological activity and is thus useful for the generation of peptide or protein microarrays. Kits for functionalization and/or immobilization of peptides and proteins are provided as well as microarrays of peptides, proteins or both.

    摘要: Methods for enhancing cellular uptake of cargo molecules by boronating the cargo molecule, particularly with one or more phenylboronic acid groups. Cellular uptake includes at least partial uptake into the cytosol. Boronation includes ligating, crosslinking or otherwise bonding one or more phenylboronic acids substituted to contain a reactive group to a cargo molecule. Boronation also includes ligating, crosslinking or otherwise bonding a phenylboronated oligopeptide to a cargo molecule. The phenylboronate groups are optionally conjugated to the cargo molecule via linking moieties that can be selectively cleaved, such cleavable linkers can allow the phenylboronate groups to be removed from the cargo molecule after the boronated cargo molecule is introduced into the cell. The invention includes certain phenylboronates which are boronation reagents, certain boronated oligopeptides and certain boronated peptides and proteins. The invention also includes kits for enhancing cellular uptake of cargo molecules by boronation with one or more phenylboronates or boronated oligopeptides.

    摘要: This invention relates to altered forms of members of the RNase A superfamily. An RNase A can be modified to be cytotoxic by altering its amino acid sequence so that it is not bound easily by the ribonuclease inhibitor while still retaining catalytic properties. While earlier work had identified some modifications to RNase A that would result in cytotoxicity, the use of the FADE algorithm for molecular interaction analysis has led to several other locations that were candidates for modification. Some of those modifications did result in RNase A variants with increase cytotoxicity.

    摘要翻译: 本发明涉及RNA酶A超家族成员的改变形式。 核糖核酸酶A可以通过改变其氨基酸序列来修饰为细胞毒性,使得它不会被核糖核酸酶抑制剂容易地结合,同时仍然保留催化性质。 虽然早期的工作已经确定了会导致细胞毒性的RNase A的一些修改,但是使用FADE算法进行分子相互作用分析已经导致了其他几个作为修饰候选的位置。 这些修饰中的一些确实导致具有增加的细胞毒性的RNA酶A变体。
