ABSTRACT
Tryptophan (Trp) plays a critical role in the regulation of protein structure, interactions and functions through its π system and indole N-H group. A generalizable method for blocking and rescuing Trp interactions would enable the gain-of-function manipulation of various Trp-containing proteins in vivo, but generating such a platform remains challenging. Here we develop a genetically encoded N1-vinyl-caged Trp capable of rapid and bioorthogonal decaging through an optimized inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction, allowing site-specific activation of Trp on a protein of interest in living cells. This chemical activation of a genetically encoded caged-tryptophan (Trp-CAGE) strategy enables precise activation of the Trp of interest underlying diverse important molecular interactions. We demonstrate the utility of Trp-CAGE across various protein families, such as catalase-peroxidases and kinases, as translation initiators and posttranslational modification readers, allowing the modulation of epigenetic signalling in a temporally controlled manner. Coupled with computer-aided prediction, our strategy paves the way for bioorthogonal Trp activation on more than 28,000 candidate proteins within their native cellular settings.
