Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The selective ligation of hydrazine and amino-oxy compounds with carbonyls has gained popularity as a detection strategy with the recognition of aniline catalysis as a way to accelerate the labelling reaction in water. Aldehydes are a convenient functional group choice since there are few native aldehydes found at the cell surface. Aldehydes can be selectively introduced into sialic acid containing glycoproteins by treatment with dilute sodium periodate. Thus, the combination of periodate oxidation with aniline-catalyzed ligation (PAL) has become a viable method for detection of glycoconjugates on live cells. Herein we examine two fluorescent nitrobenzoxadiazole dyes for labelling of glycoproteins and cell surface glycoconjugates. We introduce a novel 4-aminooxy-7-nitro-benz-[2,1,3-d]-oxadiazole (NBDAO) (5) fluorophore, and offer a comparison to commercial dyes including the known 4-hydrazino-7-nitro-benz-[2,1,3-d]-oxadiazole (NBDH) (2) and Bodipy FL hydrazide. We confirm specificity for sialic acid moieties and that both dyes are suitable for in vitro and in vivo labelling studies using PAL and fluorescence spectroscopy. The dyes examined here are attractive labelling agents for microscopy as they can be excited by a 488 nm laser line and can be made in a few synthetic steps. These carbonyl-reactive chromophores provide a one step alternative to avidin-biotin labelling strategies and simplify the detection of sialic acid in cells and glycoproteins.
