Noninvasive optical detection of Granzyme B from natural killer cells using enzyme-activated fluorogenic probes

Abstract: Despite many studies on the cytotoxic protease granzyme B, key aspects of its function remain unexplored due to the lack of selective probes for its activity. In this study, we fully mapped the substrate preferences of GrB using a set of unnatural amino acids, demonstrating previously unknown GrB substrate preferences that we then used to design novel substrate-based inhibitors and a GrB-activatable activitybased probe. We showed that our GrB probes react poorly with caspases, making them ideal for the in-dept… Show more

“…Recently, this strategy was improved by the incorporation of a set of unnatural amino acids that allowed for more adequate screening of enzyme catalytic preferences and better accommodation of substrates in enzyme pockets, leading to an increase in their specificity and potency (Kasperkiewicz et al, 2014). This strategy is called Hybrid Combinatorial Substrate Library (HyCoSuL), and to date, it has been used to distinguish between closely related enzymes belonging to the same family of serine proteases (NE (Kasperkiewicz et al, 2014), CatG (Kasperkiewicz et al, 2017), PR3 (Kasperkiewicz et al, 2017), NSP4 (Kasperkiewicz et al, 2017;(Kasperkiewicz et al, 2015), GrA (Kolt et al, 2020), and GrB (Janiszewski et al, 2020)) and cysteine proteases (caspases (Poreba et al, 2015; and cathepsins Poreba et al, 2018)).…”
