Article Abstract
The ubiquitously expressed mannose-6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) are a promising class of receptors for targeted compound delivery into the endolysosomal compartments of a variety of cell types. The development of a synthetic, multivalent, mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) glycopeptide-based MPR ligand is described. The conjugation of this ligand to fluorescent DCG-04, an activity-based probe for cysteine cathepsins, enabled fluorescent readout of its receptor-targeting properties. The resulting M6P-cluster-BODIPY-DCG-04 probe was shown to efficiently label cathepsins in cell lysates as well as in live cells. Furthermore, the introduction of the 6-O-phosphates leads to a completely altered uptake profile in COS and dendritic cells compared to a mannose-containing ligand. Competition with mannose-6-phosphate abolished all uptake of the probe in COS cells, and we conclude that the mannose-6-phosphate cluster targets the MPR and ensures the targeted delivery of cargo bound to the cluster into the endolysosomal pathway.

Activity-based ubiquitin probes (Ub-ABPs) are powerful tools for studying the functional landscape of deubiquitinases (DUBs). While most existing Ub probes have focused on examining the native state of DUBs, oxidative stress, especially in cancer and inflammatory contexts, can oxidize the catalytic cysteine of DUBs, significantly altering their activity. Here, we developed three novel ubiquitin-based activity probes (Ub-ABPs) to selectively trap the sulfenylated form of deubiquitinases (DUB-SOH).

Mevalonate is a precursor for essential metabolites, such as isoprenoids and sterols. Its synthesis starts with HMGCS1 producing HMG-CoA, which is then converted to mevalonate by HMGCR, a target of statins. Cancer cells often upregulate enzymes in the mevalonate pathway (MVP) to meet their metabolic demands, leading to the development of inhibitors targeting several enzymes in this pathway.

Glycosidases generally function in specific organelles to hydrolyze glycoconjugates. Thus, the in situ visualization of glycosidase activities in an organelle-targeted manner can help to better delineate their biological functions. Lysosomal β-galactosidase (β-Gal) is reported to be a biomarker for ovarian cancer and cellular senescence.

SUMOylation is a post-translation modification responsible for the regulation of many nuclear processes. Dysregulation can lead to various diseases, so the discovery of the mechanisms and players behind the (de)SUMOylation cycle is crucial. Here, we describe a linear SPPS approach to obtain SUMO2/3-based activity probes and their application in assessing the activity of deSUMOylases, ultimately aiding in the identification of small molecules that target this system.

Activatable photoacoustic imaging probes offer a strategy to efficiently reduce background noise from endogenous chromophores. We present a protocol for tumor imaging in mice using an activatable covalent photoacoustic imaging probe, NOx-JS013. We describe steps for synthesizing NOx-JS013, in vitro and in situ validation through gel-based activity-based protein profiling and cellular imaging, and tumor imaging of aggressive prostate cancer mouse models.
