Application

PTAD-Azide is a selective bioconjugation reagent for the modification of tyrosine residues with an azide. Subsequent modification can then be afforded via the azide/alkyne click chemistry reaction with an alkyne or cyclooctyne containing compound or biomolecule. This reagent has been shown to selectively introduce poly(ethylene glycol) or PEG chains onto proteins with surface exposed tyrosine residues. PTAD-Azide has also been used in the formation of antibody-drug conjugates. This reagent is compatible with different buffer systems such as PBS, Tris and mixed PBS/Tris buffer (preferred). The linkage with tyrosine has been shown to be stable to pH and temperature extremes as well as blood plasma.
   
Note: PTAD-Azide must be first activated by stirring in a 1:0.98 molar ratio with 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (product # 157902). Activation is evident upon solution color change from colorless to deep red and the activated reagent should be used immediately.
 
 
General Procedure for Protein Modification with PTAD.
 
Part 1: PTAD activation
  • Mix together 1:0.98 molar equivalents of unactivated PTAD to 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (product # 157902) in organic solvent (preferred solvents are DMF or acetonitrile; avoid using DMSO)
  • Color change is observed from colorless/pale yellow to deep red (approximately 5 min of mixing).
  • After the solution turns red, store the now activated reagent on ice and use for protein modification within 30 min.
 
Part 2: Protein modification
  • Add protein solution in mixed phosphate/Tris buffer or Tris buffer (pH should be 6 - 9) to the eppendorf tube (or other vial) containing the activated PTAD reagent prepared above and mix gently at room temperature for up to 30 min. Preferably use 10-fold molar excess of reagent relative to protein. Use protein at a minimum concentration of 1 mg/ml (higher concentrations are preferred for enhanced labeling).
  • Remove excess unreacted PTAD by gel filtration.

The scope, chemoselectivity, and utility of the click-like tyrosine labeling reaction with 4-phenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5(4H)-diones (PTADs) is reported. To study the utility and chemoselectivity of PTAD derivatives in peptide and protein chemistry, we synthesized PTAD derivatives possessing azide, alkyne, and ketone groups
