Bacteria are ubiquitous lifeforms with important roles in the environment, biotechnology, and human health. Many of the functions that bacteria perform are mediated by proteins and enzymes, which catalyze metabolic transformations of small molecules and modifications of proteins. To better understand these biological processes, chemical proteomic approaches, including activity-based protein profiling, have been developed to interrogate protein function and enzymatic activity in physiologically relevant contexts. Here, chemoproteomic strategies and technological advances for studying bacterial physiology, pathogenesis, and metabolism are discussed. The development of chemoproteomic approaches for characterizing protein function and enzymatic activity within bacteria remains an active area of research, and continued innovations are expected to provide breakthroughs in understanding bacterial biology.

Protein post-translational modification (PTM) serves as an important mechanism for regulating protein function. Accurate assay of PTM stoichiometry, or PTM occupancy, which refers to the proportion of proteins that contain specific modifications, is important for understanding the function of PTMs. We previously developed a novel chemoproteomic strategy "STO-MS" to quantify the PTM stoichiometry in complex biological samples, which employs a resolvable polymer mass tag to differentiate modified proteins and utilizes liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques to measure PTM stoichiometry.

Cysteine chemoproteomic screening platforms are widely utilized for chemical probe and drug discovery campaigns. Chemoproteomic compound screens, which use a mass spectrometry-based proteomic readout, can interrogate the structure activity relationship (SAR) for thousands of proteins in parallel across the proteome. The versatility of chemoproteomic screens has been demonstrated across electrophilic, nucleophilic, and reversible classes of molecules.

Article Synopsis
  • * Marinopyrrole A (MA), a natural product discovered in 2008, exhibits strong antibacterial effects against MRSA, but its specific mechanism of action was previously unknown.
  • * An optimized derivative called MA-D1 was developed, which targets a specific enzyme (GlmS) involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to effective treatment against MRSA with low resistance and success in animal models.

Article Synopsis
  • Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for biological functions and play a key role in diseases like cancer and neurological disorders by altering PPI networks.
  • Understanding the kinome, a group of 518 human kinases, is crucial as they are often dysregulated in diseases and can be targeted with drugs that inhibit their activity.
  • The newly developed 2nd generation kinobead competition and correlation analysis (2 gen kiCCA) method allows for better identification and mapping of kinase PPIs, leading to insights into signaling pathways and therapeutic targets in diseases like neuroblastoma.
