Click and Release Chemistry for Activity-based Purification of b-lactam targets.

β -lactams, the cornerstone of antibiotherapy, inhibit multiple and partially redundant targets referred to as transpeptidases or penicillin-binding proteins. These enzymes catalyze the essential cross-linking step of the polymerization of cell wall peptidoglycan. The understanding of the mechanisms of action of β -lactams and of resistance to these drugs requires the development of reliable methods to characterize their targets. Here, we describe an activity-based purification method of β -lactam targets based on click and release chemistry. We synthesized alkyne-carbapenems with suitable properties with respect to the kinetics of acylation of a model target, the Ldt fm L , D -transpeptidase, the stability of the resulting acylenzyme, and the reactivity of the alkyne for the cycloaddition of an azido probe containing a biotin moiety for affinity purification and a bioorthogonal cleavable linker. The probe provided access to the fluorescent target in a single click and release step.
