RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Posttranslational modifications of proteins are catalyzed by a large family of enzymes catalyzing many chemical modifications. One can hijack the natural use of those enzymes to modify targeted proteins with synthetic chemical moieties. The lipoic acid ligase LplA mutants can be used to introduce onto the lysine sidechain lipoic acid moiety synthetic analogues. Substrate protein candidates of the ligase must obey a few a priori rules. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the present report, we technically detailed the use of a cell line stably expressing both the ligase and a model protein (thioredoxin). Although the goal can be reach, and the protein visualized in situ, many experimental difficulties must be fixed. The sequence of events comprises (i) in cellulo labeling of the target protein with a N3-lipoic acid derivative catalyzed by the mutant ligase, (ii) the further introduction by click chemistry onto this lysine sidechain of a fluorophore and (iii) the following of the labeled protein in living cells. One of the main difficulties was to assess the click chemistry step onto the living cells, because images from both control and experimental cells were similar. Alternatively, we describe at that stage, the preferred use of another technique: the Halo-Tag one that led to the obtention of clear images of the targeted protein in its cellular context. Although the ligase-mediated labeling of protein in situ is a rich domain for which many cellular tools must be developed, many difficulties must be considered before entering a systematic use of this approach. CONCLUSIONS: In the present contribution, we added several steps of analytical characterization, both in vitro and in cellulo that were previously lacking. Furthermore, we show that the use of the click chemistry should be manipulated with care, as the claimed specificity might be not complete whenever living cells are used. Finally, we added another approach-the Halo Tag-to complete the previously suggested approaches for labelling proteins in cells, as we found difficult to strictly apply the previously reported methodology.
