We combined the advantages of the selective inhibitor VX689, the bisubstrate-analogue conjugate approach, and photoreactive amino acids to develop 8 photoaffinity probes for Aurora A. The most efficient compounds possessed one-digit nanomolar KD values in the equilibrium binding assay, inhibited Aurora A at elevated concentrations of ATP in the phosphorylation assay in the presence of TPX2, and formed covalent complexes with the recombinant kinase or Aurora A in HeLa cells upon UV-irradiation. The recognition of the correct target by the probes during formation of the covalent complex in the biochemical assay and in situ was demonstrated by competition experiments using the non-labelled inhibitors VX689 and MLN8237.

Dissection of the physiological interactomes of histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) is crucial for understanding epigenetic regulatory pathways. Peptide- or protein-based histone photoaffinity tools expanded the ability to probe the epigenetic interactome, but in situ profiling in native cells remains challenging. Here, we develop a nucleus-targeting histone-tail-based photoaffinity probe capable of profiling the hPTM-mediated interactomes in native cells, by integrating cell-permeable and nuclear localization peptide modules into an hPTM peptide equipped with a photoreactive moiety.

Chlorogenic acid (CA) is an abundant plant secondary metabolite with promising allelopathic effects on weed growth. However, the molecular targets and mechanism of action of CA in plants remain elusive. Here, we report the employment of a clickable photoaffinity probe in identifying the protein targets of CA in seedling proteomes.

Human antigen R (HuR) is an RNA binding protein (RBP) belonging to the ELAV (Embryonic Lethal Abnormal Vision) family, which stabilizes mRNAs and regulates the expression of multiple genes. Its altered expression or localization is related to pathological features such as cancer or inflammation. Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS I) is a naturally occurring, tetracyclic ortho-quinone inhibitor of the HuR-mRNA interaction.
