Using a chemical approach to crosslink functionally versatile bioeffectors (such as peptides) to native proteins of interest (POI) directly inside a living cell is a useful toolbox for chemical biologists. However, this goal has not been reached due to unsatisfactory chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and protein selectivity in protein labeling within living cells. Herein, we report the proof of concept of a cytocompatible and highly selective photolabeling strategy using a tryptophan-specific Ru-TAP complex as a photocrosslinker. Aside from the high selectivity, the photolabeling is blue light-driven by a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) and allows the bioeffector to bear an additional UV-responsive unit. The two different photosensitivities are demonstrated by blue light-photocrosslinking a UV-sensitive peptide to POI. Our visible light photolabeling can generate photocaged proteins for subsequent activity manipulation by UV light. Cytoskeletal dynamics regulation is demonstrated in living cells via the unprecedented POI photomanipulation and proves that our methodology opens a new avenue to endogenous protein modification.
