Product Description
OABK HCl is a small molecule switch that may be utilized to control protein activity. OABK (HCl) is a reagent for click chemistry. It has an Azide (N3) moiety and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an Alkyne group. SPAAC (Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition) may also happen with compounds bearing a BCN or DBCO group.
OABK (CAS# 1984862-48-7), also known as OABK hydrochloride, is a small-molecule switch that can be used to control protein activity. It is a synthetic amino acid that functions through the site-specific incorporation of an ortho-azidobenzyloxycarbonyl lysine (OABK). Its molecular formula is C₁₄H₂₀ClN₅O₄. OABK is a click chemistry reagent containing an azide (N₃) moiety, which can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with compounds bearing an alkyne group.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
OABK does not have a traditional biological target like an enzyme or receptor. Instead, it is a chemical tool designed for site-specific incorporation into proteins. When introduced at a specific position, such as K206 in firefly luciferase (FLuc), it inhibits enzymatic activity by restricting the access of ATP to the active site. The enzyme can then be deprotected and activated through treatment with a phosphine. This allows for the precise control of protein function.
ln Vitro
tiny molecular switch that causes the site-specific incorporation of o-azidobenzyloxycarbonyllysine (OABK) to activate protein activity. In three simple stages, 2-azidobenzyl alcohol can be converted to the amino acid OABK using succinimide carbonate ester. Lysine is created during deprotection, and upon incorporation of OABK, an active wild-type protein is produced. Conditional regulation of intracellular protein maturation can be achieved through the combination of small molecule activation and genetically encoded OABK. When OABK (0.5 mM) is added to EGFP at K85, it prevents the production of fluorophores until small molecule activation produces native lysine (PDB-based model). By reducing FLuc enzyme activity, OABK introduction at K206 decreases FLuc enzyme activity. Up until the enzyme is deprotected and activated by phosphine treatment, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enters the active site. As in the Bright-Glo test's luciferase assay, OABK is added to FLuc in order to inhibit luciferase activity without small molecule activation [1].
In vitro, OABK is used as a small-molecule switch to control protein activity. Its primary application is the site-specific incorporation into proteins to create a "caged" or inhibited form. For example, introducing OABK at position K206 inhibits FLuc enzymatic activity by blocking ATP access to the active site. The protein's activity can then be restored by treating with a phosphine, which removes the OABK group. This provides a powerful tool for studying protein function with temporal control.
ln Vivo
In vivo applications of OABK are not detailed in the provided literature. As a chemical biology tool, its use is primarily in vitro for studying protein function. Its potential for in vivo use would depend on efficient delivery and incorporation methods. The compound is intended for research use only.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies are not applicable to OABK in the traditional sense, as it is not a drug that binds to a target. Instead, its function is studied by assessing its incorporation into proteins and its subsequent effect on protein activity. For example, the activity of the modified enzyme (e.g., FLuc) can be measured using a luminescence assay. The ability of phosphine to deprotect and reactivate the enzyme is also assessed. These protocols are for research purposes only.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for OABK involve its incorporation into proteins of interest within cells. This is typically achieved through genetic code expansion, where a specific codon is reassigned to encode OABK. The effect of OABK incorporation on the protein's function is then assessed. For example, the activity of a modified enzyme can be measured in cell lysates or in live cells. The reactivation of the protein upon treatment with phosphine can also be monitored. Standard cell culture and molecular biology techniques are used.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for OABK are not described in the provided literature. The compound's use is primarily as a research tool in cell biology and biochemistry. If used in vivo, it would likely involve the expression of a protein containing OABK in an animal model, followed by the controlled activation of the protein. This would be a complex and advanced application.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of OABK are not characterized. It is a small molecule with a molecular weight of approximately 357.8 g/mol (free base). As a research chemical, it is not intended for systemic administration. Its stability and handling are typical for laboratory reagents.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of OABK is not detailed in the available literature. It is classified for research use only and not for human consumption. Standard safety precautions for handling chemical compounds should be followed.
