Abstract Protein chemical synthesis offers useful and otherwise-difficulty-to-obtain biomacromolecules for biological pharmaceutical studies. Recently, the hydrazide chemistry has drawn attentions in this field as peptide or protein hydrazides can be used key intermediates different modification purposes. Besides being a traditional bioorthogonal handle, group serve readily accessible precursor of thioester. This strategy significantly improves efficiency scope native ligation synthesis....

We report here an enzymatic strategy for asparaginyl endopeptidase-mediated peptide cyclization. Incorporation of chloroacetyl groups into the recognition sequence OaAEP1 enabled intramolecular cyclization with Cys residues. Combining this and phage display, we identified nanomolar macrocyclic ligands targeting TEAD4. One bicyclic peptides binds to TEAD4 a KD value 139 nM, 16 times lower than its linear analogue, demonstrating utility platform in discovering high-affinity ligands.

We report an enzymatic cyclization strategy, termed omniligase-1 mediated peptide bicyclization. Electrophilic group was introduced into the recognition sequence of omniligase to achieve intramolecular bicyclization with Cys residues. Combined phage display, we identified a bicyclic ligand targeting TEAD4 KD value 1.5 µM, 100-fold lower than its linear version, demonstrating utility this platform for discovering ligands.

The striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complexes integrate extracellular stimuli that result in intracellular activities. Previously, we discovered STRIPAK is a key machinery responsible for loss of the Hippo tumor suppressor signal cancer. Here, identified Hippo-STRIPAK complex as an essential player control DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair genomic stability. Specifically, found mammalian STE20-like protein kinases 1 2 (MST1/2), independent classical signaling,...

Abstract Fluorogenic oligonucleotide probes allow mRNA imaging in living cells. A key challenge is the cellular delivery of probes. Most agents, such as cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) and pore‐forming proteins, require interactions with membrane. Charges play an important role. To explore influence charge on fluorogenic properties efficiency, we compared peptide nucleic acid (PNA)‐ DNA‐based forced intercalation (FIT) Perhaps counterintuitively, fluorescence signaling by charged DNA FIT...
