Development of a smart activity-based probe to detect subcellular activity of asparaginyl endopeptidase in living cells

Abstract: We developed a smart activity-based probe that detects the activity of asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) in live cells to monitor the dynamics of enzyme regulation. The newly designed probe generated a turn-on fluorescence signal in response to the activity of AEP in living cells without compromising the labelling efficiency or selectivity. Our probe closely reflected the enzyme activity in its native state, detecting subcellular AEP activity in colon cancer cells and neuronal cells.

“…Previously, we developed fluorescent probes that can detect mercury ions in organic solvents and the enzyme activity in live cells . While both of these probes contain the same fluorophore, 4‐amino‐1,8‐naphthalimide, by incorporating the specific responsive moiety at the 4‐amino position they demonstrated different specificities and magnitudes of signal enhancement.…”

“…Alternatively, qABPs can contain a warhead conjugated with a fluorophore where the emission of fluorescence is increased after the target protease is labeled. This mechanism is due to the photoinduced electron transfer effect (PeT) (Hong et al, 2017). The first qABPs for serine proteases consist of a mixed alkyl aryl phosphonate and are linked to a succinimide derivative of the QSy7 (fluorescent quencher) coupled to the tyramine leaving group.…”

“…This probe showed a twofold increase in fluorescence after reaction with the protease and was successfully used in live cell imaging of AEP. Although there is still room for improvement of signal to background ratio, this probe provides an interesting scaffold that could lead to a new generation of qABPs (Hong et al 2017).…”
