A. Chemoselectively-cleavable groups

In some embodiments, a chemoselectively-cleavable group is any chemical moiety that is capable of chemical cleavage when exposed to the appropriate chemoselective agent. In some embodiments, a chemoselectively-cleavable group is capable of serving as a linker (e.g., linear linker), connecting two other moieties (e.g., cellular interaction element and capture element). In some embodiments, the chemoselectively-cleavable group links two groups, and upon chemoselective cleavage of the chemoselectively-cleavable group, the two groups are released from each other. For example, the chemoselectively-cleavable group Y tethers cellular interaction element Z to capture agent Q (e.g., Z-Y-Q). Upon chemical cleavage of Y into Y 1 and Y 2 , Z and Q become untethered (e.g., Z^Y 1 and Y 2 -Q).

In some embodiments, suitable chemoselectively-cleavable groups are cell- permeable. In some embodiments, suitable chemoselectively-cleavable groups do not prevent the cell permeability of the compositions within which they are a component. In some embodiments, suitable chemoselectively-cleavable groups do not negatively impact the cell permeability of the compositions within which they are a component.

In some embodiments, suitable chemoselectively-cleavable groups are cell- compatible. In some embodiments, suitable chemoselectively-cleavable groups do not prevent the cell compatibility of the compositions within which they are a component. In some embodiments, suitable chemoselectively-cleavable groups do not negatively impact the cell compatibility of the compositions within which they are a component.

Nat. Chem. 2014, 6, 352.; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).

B. Linker moieties

In some embodiments, linker moieties (e.g., L 1 , L 2 , etc.), for example, connecting the chemoselectively-cleavable group and the cellular interaction element or capture element, are provided as part of the compositions herein. In some embodiments, a "linker" connecting a cellular interaction element or capture element comprises a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety (Y) and 0, 1, 2, of more "linker moieties" (L 1 , L 2 , etc.). In some embodiments, linker moieties are straight or branched chains comprising any combination of alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl chains, and main-chain heteroatoms (e.g., O, S, N, P, etc.). In some embodiments, linker moieties comprises one or more backbone groups selected from of: -0-, -S-, -CH=CH-, =C=, a carbon-carbon triple bond, C=0, NH, SH, OH, CN, etc. In some embodiments, a linker moiety comprises one or more substituents, pendants, side chains, etc., comprising any suitable organic functional groups.

In some embodiments, the linker provides sufficient distance between functional elements and the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety to allow each element/moiety to function undisturbed by the presence of other elements/moieties. For example, linkers provide sufficient distance to allow a capture element to bind a capture agent, a cellular interaction element to bind a cellular target, and a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety to be cleaved by a chemoselective agent substrate (e.g., without or with reduced interference between moieties/elements).

A linker moiety, as used herein, is not a single covalent bond (such single covalent bond connections are depicted as Z-Y or Y-Q, for example). In some embodiments, the linker separates first and second functional elements (e.g., Z, Q) by about 5 angstroms to about 1000 angstroms, inclusive, in length. Suitable linkers separate first and second functional elements (e.g., Z, Q) by about 5 A, 10 A, 20 A, 50 A, 100 A, 150 A, 200 A, 300 A, 400 A, 500 A, 600 A, 700 A, 800 A, 900 A, 1000 A, and any suitable ranges therein (e.g., 5-100 A, 50-500 A, 150-700 A, etc.). In some embodiments, the linker separates first and second functional elements (e.g., Z, Q) by about 1-200 atoms (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, or any suitable ranges therein (e.g., 2-20, 10-50, etc.)).

In particular embodiments, a linker moiety comprises an alkyl carbamate group (e.g., (CH 2 ) n OCONH, (CH 2 ) n NHCOO, etc.). In some structures herein, alkyl carbamate is depicted as M. In some embodiments, the alkyl carbamate is oriented such the NH end is oriented toward the functional element (e.g., Z, Q), and the COO end is oriented toward the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety. In some embodiments, the alkyl carbamate is oriented such the COO end is oriented toward the functional element (e.g., Z, Q), and the NH end is oriented toward the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety. In some embodiments, a linker or linker moiety comprises a single alkyl carbamate group. In some embodiments, a linker or linker moiety comprises two or more alkyl carbamate groups (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc.).

In some embodiments, a linker moiety is configured to separate a functional element (e.g., Z or Q (e.g., A-X)) and an allyl carbamate (Y) or alkyl carbamate (M) by a distance that optimizes the functionality of the Z group (e.g., interaction between the capture element (e.g., A-X, biotin, epitope, etc.) and capture agent (e.g., mutant dehalogenase, streptavidin, antibody). In certain embodiments, Z or Q and M or Y are separated by 1 -200 linearly connected atoms (e.g., 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, or any suitable ranges therein (e.g., 2-20, 10-50, 6-18 (e.g., (CH2) 6 0(CH 2 ) 2 0(CH 2 ) 2 , (CH 2 )6-i8, etc.), etc.). In some embodiments in which a composition comprises -Y-L-A-X or -M-L-A-X (and L does not comprise an M or Y), A and L together comprise 1-200 linearly connected atoms (e.g., 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, or any suitable ranges therein (e.g., 2-20, 10-50, 6-18)). In some embodiments, A and L 2 comprises 9-15 linearly connected atoms (e.g., 9, 10, 11 , 12, 13, 14, 15). In some embodiments, A and L 2 comprises 12 linearly connected C, N, and/or O atoms (e.g., (CH 2 ) 6 0(CH 2 ) 2 0(CH 2 ) 2 ,

(CH 2 ) 6 (CH 2 ) 3 0(CH 2 ) 2 , (CH 2 ) 6 0(CH 2 ) 2 (CH 2 ) 3 , etc.).

In some embodiments, a linker is configured to separate the Z or Q group and the most proximal carbamate (e.g., M or Y) by a distance that decreases the interaction between the functional group and carbamate. In some embodiments, a linker moiety comprises more than 1 linearly connected C, S, N, and/or O atoms. In some embodiments, a linker moiety comprises one or more alkyl carbamate groups. In some embodiments, a linker moiety comprises one or more alkyl groups (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, etc.). In some embodiments, a linker moiety comprises one or more 0(CH 2 ) 2 or (CH 2 )0 groups (1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100). In some

embodiments, a linker moiety comprises 1-200 linearly connected atoms (e.g., 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, or any suitable ranges therein (e.g., 2-20, 10-50, 6-18)). In some embodiments, a linker moiety is 1 - 200 linearly connected atoms (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, or any suitable ranges therein (e.g., 2-20, 10-50, 6-18)) in length.

C. Functional Elements

Provided herein are compositions comprising two functional elements (e.g., a capture element (Q) and a cellular interaction element (Z)) useful in the compositions and methods described herein. The functional elements are molecular or macromolecular entities that provide a function, or potential function, to the compositions to which they are attached. Such functions may be useful in the isolation, purification, detection, localization, immobilization, etc., of a composition described herein or a protein or fusion bound thereto. In some embodiments, a functional element interacts with a cellular entity (e.g., a cellular interaction element). In some embodiments, a functional element binds a capture agent (e.g., a capture element). Although embodiments herein are most typically described as a chemoselectively-cleavable linker connecting a capture agent and cellular interaction element, embodiments are not so limited. In some embodiments, the chemoselectively- cleavable linkers described herein connect other pairs of functional elements (e.g., a detection element, a cellular localization element, etc.).

In some embodiments, first functional element (e.g., a cellular interaction element (Z)) is covalently linked to a second functional element (e.g., a capture elements (Q)) via a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety (Y) and optionally one or more linker moieties (e.g., L, LI , L2, etc.). Suitable arrangements for compositions within the scope provided herein include, for example, Z-Y-Q, Z-L-Y-Q, Z-L 1 -Y-L 2 -Q, etc. In some embodiments, the functional elements retain their functional property (e.g. binding to a cellular target, binding to a capture agent, etc.) in the context of such a composition.

In some embodiments, the compositions described herein are cell compatible and/or cell permeable. Therefore, suitable functional elements (e.g., cellular interaction elements, capture elements) are ones that are cell compatible and/or cell permeable within the context of such compositions. In some embodiments, a composition comprising functional elements linked by a chemoselectively-cleavable linker, when added extracellularly, is capable of crossing the cell membrane to enter a cell (e.g., via diffusion, endocytosis, active transport, passive transport, etc.). In some embodiments, suitable functional elements are selected based on cell compatibility and cell permeability in addition to their particular function. 1. Cellular interaction elements

In some embodiments, compositions comprise a cellular interaction element linked to another functional element (e.g., capture element) by a chemoselectively-cleavable linker. Cellular interaction elements are physiologically and/or pharmacologically active substances that interact with one or more cellular (e.g., intracellular) components. In some

embodiments, cellular interaction elements include, but are not limited to, small molecules (e.g., drugs, drug-like molecules, toxins, test compounds, etc.), amino acids (e.g., a naturally occurring amino acid or a non-natural amino acid), a peptide, a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA, RNA), etc.

In some embodiments, a cellular interaction element binds (e.g., covalently or non- covalently) to a cellular target under intracellular conditions. In some embodiments, a cellular interaction element forms a stable interaction with a cellular target under intracellular conditions, and maintains such an interaction under mild processing and analysis conditions (e.g., near neutral pH (e.g., pH 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1 , 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and any suitable ranges therein), room temperature, low concentration of denaturants or other destabilizing molecules, etc.).

In some embodiments, a cellular target comprises any suitable binding/interaction partner (e.g., receptor, enzyme) for a cellular interaction element (e.g., small molecule, peptide, nucleic acid, lipid, etc.). In particular embodiments, a cellular target is a protein that binds to or otherwise interacts with (e.g., stably interacts with) a cellular interaction element. In more particular embodiments, a cellular target is a receptor protein or an enzyme that binds to or otherwise interacts with (e.g., stably interacts with) a small molecule cellular interaction element.

Embodiments herein are not limited by the identity, type, or class of cellular targets.

In some embodiments, the cellular target is an endogenous cellular component of cells in which an assay is to be performed. In other embodiments, the cellular target is expressed in cells in which an assay is to be performed. In some embodiments, the cellular target is expressed at or near the endogenous levels (e.g., native abundance) for the cellular target (e.g., no overexpression of cellular targets). In some embodiments, methods herein allow for capture of endogenous cellular targets present in cells (or cell lysates). In some embodiments, methods herein allow for capture of cellular targets present in cells at or near their natural or endogenous abundance, thereby maximizing the biological relevance of an assay. In certain embodiments, because the methods allow for capture at endogenous levels of cellular target, the methods are useful for the capture of unknown targets of a cellular interaction element.

2. Capture element

In some embodiments, compositions comprise a capture element linked to another functional element (e.g., cellular interaction element) by a chemoselectively-cleavable linker. Capture elements are molecular entities that form a stable complex by non-covalent interactions or form a covalent connection with a particular capture agent.

In some embodiments, a capture element is a substrate for a protein (e.g., enzyme), and the capture agent is that protein. In some embodiments, a capture element is a "covalent substrate" or one that forms a covalent bond with a protein or enzyme that it reacts with. The substrate may comprise a reactive group (e.g., a modified substrate) that forms a covalent bond with the enzyme upon interaction with the enzyme, or the enzyme may be a mutant version that is unable to reconcile a covalently bound intermediate with the substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate is recognized by a mutant protein (e.g., mutant

dehalogenase) which forms a covalent bond thereto. In such embodiments, while the interaction of the substrate and a wild-type version of the protein (e.g., dehalogenase) results in a product and the regeneration of the wild-type protein, interaction of the substrate (e.g., haloalkane) with the mutant version of the protein (e.g., dehalogenase) results in stable bond formation (e.g., covalent bond formation) between the protein and substrate. The substrate may be any suitable substrate for any mutant protein that has been altered to form an ultra- stable or covalent bond with its substrate that would ordinarily only transiently bound by the protein. In some embodiments, the protein is a mutant hydrolase or dehalogenase. In some embodiments, the protein is a mutant dehalogenase and the substrate is a haloalkane. In some embodiments, the haloalkane comprises an alkane (e.g., C2-C2 0 ) capped by a terminal halogen (e.g., CI, Br, F, I, etc.). In some embodiments, the haloalkane is of the formula A-X, wherein X is a halogen (e.g., CI, Br, F, I, etc.), and wherein A is an alkane comprising 2-20 carbons. In certain embodiments, A comprises a straight-chain segment of 2-12 carbons. In certain embodiments, A is a straight-chain segment of 2-12 carbons. In some embodiments, the haloalkane may comprise any additional pendants or substitutions that do not interfere with interaction with the mutant dehalogenase.

In some embodiments, a capture agent is a SNAP -Tag and a capture element is benzyl guanine (See, e.g., Crivat G, Taraska JW (January 2012). Trends in Biotechnology 30 (1): 8- 16.; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). In some embodiments, a capture agent is a CLIP-Tag and a capture element is benzyl cytosine (See, e.g., Gautier, et al. Chem Biol. 2008 Feb;15(2): 128-36.; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).

Systems comprising mutant proteins (e.g., mutant hydrolases (e.g., mutant dehalogenases) that covalently bind their substrates (e.g., haloalkane substrates) are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,238,842; U.S. Pat. No. 7,425,436; U.S. Pat. No. 7,429,472; U.S. Pat. No. 7,867,726; each of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

In certain embodiments, the substrate is a substrate for a dehalogenase, e.g., a haloalkane dehalogenase, or a dehalogenase that cleaves carbon-halogen bonds in an aliphatic or aromatic halogenated substrate, such as a substrate for Rhodococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Agrobacterium or Xanthobacter dehalogenase, or a substrate for a serine beta-lactamase. In some embodiments, a substrate optionally includes a linker which physically separates one or more functional groups from the reactive group in the substrate. For example, a substrate may include a linker of sufficient length, structure, charge, and hydrophobicity so that the one or more functional groups of the substrate do not disturb the interaction of the protein (e.g., dehalogenase) and reactive group (e.g., haloalkane) of the substrate.

In some embodiments, a capture element is an "affinity molecule" and a capture agent is an "acceptor" (e.g., small molecule, protein, antibody, etc.) that selectively interacts with such an affinity molecule. Examples of such pairs would include: an antibody as a the capture agent and an antigen as the capture element; a His-tag as the capture element and a nickel column as the capture agent; a protein and small molecule with high affinity as the capture agent and capture element, respectively (e.g., streptavidin and biotin), etc. Thus, a composition that includes an affinity molecule is separated from, for example, a cell-based on the selective interaction of the affinity molecule with the acceptor (e.g., an acceptor molecule that may be biological or non-biological in origin). The acceptor molecule may be free in solution or attached to a solid support. In some embodiments, a cellular interaction element or other functional element linked to the affinity molecule is subsequently released from the acceptor by chemoselective cleavage of the chemoselectively-cleavable linker (e.g., allowing detection or purification of a cellular target bound to the cellular capture agent).

For example, the specific molecule with which the affinity molecule interacts (referred to as the acceptor molecule) could be a small organic molecule, a chemical group such as a sulfhydryl group (-SH), or a large biomolecule such as an antibody or other naturally occurring ligand for the affinity molecule. The binding is normally chemical in nature and may involve the formation of covalent or non-covalent bonds or interactions such as ionic or hydrogen bonding. The acceptor molecule might be free in solution or bound to a solid or semi-solid surface, a polymer matrix, or reside on the surface of a solid or semi-solid substrate. The interaction may also be triggered by an external agent such as light, temperature, pressure, or the addition of a chemical or biological molecule that acts as a catalyst. The detection and/or separation of the complex from the reaction mixture occurs because of the interaction, normally a type of binding, between the affinity molecule and the acceptor molecule.

Examples of affinity molecules include molecules such as immunogenic molecules (e.g., epitopes of proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, or lipids (e.g., any molecule which is useful to prepare antibodies specific for that molecule)); biotin, avidin, streptavidin, and derivatives thereof; metal binding molecules; and fragments and combinations of these molecules. Exemplary affinity molecules include His5 (HHHHH), HisX6 (HHHHHH), C- myc (EQKLISEEDL), Flag (DYKDDDDK), SteptTag (WSHPQFEK), HA Tag

(YPYDVPDYA), thioredoxin, cellulose binding domain, chitin binding domain, S-peptide, T7 peptide, calmodulin binding peptide, C-end RNA tag, metal binding domains, metal binding reactive groups, amino acid reactive groups, inteins, biotin, streptavidin, and maltose binding protein. In some embodiments, affinity interactions facilitate extracellular (e.g., following cell lysis) attachment of compositions described herein to various surfaces.

Suitable surfaces include resins for chromatographic separation, plastics such as tissue culture surfaces or binding plates, microtiter dishes and beads, ceramics and glasses, particles including magnetic particles, polymers and other matrices. In some case, these materials may be part of biomolecular sensing devices such as optical fibers, chemfets, and plasmon detectors.

Another example of an affinity molecule is dansyllysine. Antibodies which interact with the dansyl ring are commercially available (Sigma Chemical; St. Louis, Mo.) or can be prepared using known protocols such as described in Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual (Harlow and Lane, 1988). For example, the anti-dansyl antibody is immobilized onto the packing material of a chromatographic column. This method, affinity column

chromatography, accomplishes separation by causing the complex between a mutant hydrolase and a substrate to be retained on the column due to its interaction with the immobilized antibody, while other molecules pass through the column. The complex may then be released by disrupting the antibody-antigen interaction. Specific chromatographic column materials such as ion-exchange or affinity Sepharose, Sephacryl, Sephadex and other chromatography resins are commercially available (Sigma Chemical; St. Louis, Mo.;

Pharmacia Biotech; Piscataway, N.J.). Dansyllysine may conveniently be detected because of its fluorescent properties.

When employing an antibody as an acceptor molecule, separation can also be performed through other biochemical separation methods such as immunoprecipitation and immobilization of antibodies on filters or other surfaces such as beads, plates or resins. For example, compositions may be isolated by coating magnetic beads with an affinity molecule- specific or other functional-element-specific antibody. Beads are oftentimes separated from the mixture using magnetic fields.

Methods to detect and/or isolate complexes having affinity molecules include chromatographic techniques including gel filtration, fast-pressure or high-pressure liquid chromatography, reverse-phase chromatography, affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography. Other methods of protein separation are also useful for detection and subsequent isolation of complexes between a mutant hydrolase and a substrate, for example, electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and mass spectrometry. 3.

No. 13/682,589. In some embodiments, the functional element is a hapten or an immunogenic molecule, e.g., one which is bound by antibodies specific for that molecule. In some embodiments, the functional

3 14 35 125 131 group comprises a radionuclide or a coordinator of a radionuclide, e.g., H, C, S, I, I, including a molecule useful in diagnostic methods.

In certain embodiments, functional elements have a detectable property that allows for detection of the composition and/or a protein or fusion bound thereto. Detectable functional elements include those with a characteristic electromagnetic spectral property such as emission or absorbance, magnetism, electron spin resonance, electrical capacitance, dielectric constant or electrical conductivity as well as functional groups which are ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, diamagnetic, luminescent, electrochemiluminescent, fluorescent,

phosphorescent, chromatic, antigenic, or have a distinctive mass.

In some embodiments, a functional group is or comprises a solid support. Suitable solid supports include a sedimental particle such as a magnetic particle, a sepharose, or cellulose bead; a membrane; glass, e.g., glass slides; cellulose, alginate, plastic, or other synthetically prepared polymer (e.g., an Eppendorf tube or a well of a multi-well plate); self- assembled monolayers; a surface plasmon resonance chip; or a solid support with an electron conducting surface; etc.

In some embodiments, a functional element is a photoaffinity labeling group. In some embodiments, a functional element is a ligand for a cellular target having one or more light (e.g., UV) activatable groups (e.g., azide group) for attachment to the cellular target.

Exemplary detectable functional elements include haptens (e.g., molecules useful to enhance immunogenicity such as keyhole limpet hemacyanin), cleavable labels (e.g., photocleavable biotin) and fluorescent labels (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) modified coumarin and succinimide or sulfonosuccinimide modified BODIPY (which can be detected by UV and/or visible excited fluorescence detection), rhodamine (R110, rhodols, CRG6, Texas Methyl Red (TAMRA), Rox5, FAM, or fluorescein), coumarin derivatives (e.g., 7 aminocoumarin, and 7 -hydroxy coumarin, 2-amino-4-methoxynapthalene, 1-hydroxypyrene, resorufin, phenalenones or benzphenalenones (U.S. Pat.

bioluminescent) functional element may be used to sense changes in a system, like phosphorylation, in real-time. A fluorescent molecule, such as a chemosensor of metal ions may be employed to label proteins which bind the composition. A bioluminescent or fluorescent functional group such as BODIPY, rhodamine green, GFP, or infrared dyes, finds use as a functional element and may, for instance, be employed in interaction studies (e.g., using BRET, FRET, LRET or electrophoresis).

Another class of functional elements includes molecules detectable using

electromagnetic radiation and includes, but is not limited to, xanthene fluorophores, dansyl fluorophores, coumarins and coumarin derivatives, fluorescent acridinium moieties, benzopyrene based fluorophores, as well as 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazole, and 3-N-(7- nitrobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazol-4-yl)-2,3-diamino-propionic acid. Preferably, the fluorescent molecule has a high quantum yield of fluorescence at a wavelength different from native amino acids and more preferably has high quantum yield of fluorescence that can be excited in the visible, or in both the UV and visible, portion of the spectrum. Upon excitation at a preselected wavelength, the molecule is detectable at low concentrations either visually or using conventional fluorescence detection methods. Electrochemiluminescent molecules such as ruthenium chelates and its derivatives or nitroxide amino acids and their derivatives are detectable at femtomolar ranges and below.

In addition to fluorescent molecules, a variety of molecules with physical properties based on the interaction and response of the molecule to electromagnetic fields and radiation find use in the compositions and methods described herein. These properties include absorption in the UV, visible and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, presence of chromophores which are Raman active, and can be further enhanced by resonance Raman spectroscopy, electron spin resonance activity and nuclear magnetic resonances and molecular mass, e.g., via a mass spectrometer.

II. Systems

In some embodiments, the compositions described herein are provided with one or more additional elements, compositions, components, devices, etc. in a system. For example, a cell permeable/compatible composition (as described herein) is provided with or administered to cells. Similarly, a composition may be provided with a solid support, to which a functional element on the composition may be attached. Further, a composition comprising an enzyme substrate (e.g., haloalkane) may be provided with a mutant protein (e.g., dehalogenase) that forms a covalent bond with the substrate. Some elements, compositions, components, devices, etc. that find use in various systems within the scope herein are described below.

In some embodiments, systems comprise a solid support. Suitable solid supports include

a sedimental particle such as a magnetic particle, a sepharose, or cellulose bead; a membrane; glass, e.g., glass slides; cellulose, alginate, plastic, or other synthetically prepared polymer (e.g., an Eppendorf tube or a well of a multi-well plate); self-assembled monolayers; a surface plasmon resonance chip; or a solid support with an electron conducting surface; etc.

In some embodiments, a system comprises a chemoselectively-cleavable composition, as described herein, and a protein capable of stable interaction with a functional element on the protein. In some embodiments, the protein is a mutant version of an enzyme that has been altered to form a covalent bond with its substrate. In some embodiments, the mutant protein is a mutant protein, hydrolase and/or dehalogenase, as described in more detail in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,238,842; U.S. Pat. No. 7,425,436; U.S. Pat. No. 7,429,472; U.S. Pat. No. 7,867,726; each of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. In some embodiments, the mutant protein, hydrolase, and/or dehalogenase comprises at least one amino acid substitution relative to a corresponding wild-type protein, hydrolase or dehalogenase. Mutant proteins (e.g., mutant dehalogenases) are not limited to those prepared via recombinant techniques (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis or recursive mutagenesis) and comprise one or more amino acid substitutions which render the mutant protein (e.g., mutant dehalogenase) capable of forming a stable (e.g., covalent) bond with a substrate, such as a substrate comprising one or more functional groups. In some embodiments, the mutant proteins are mutant hydrolases. In certain embodiments, the mutant proteins are mutant dehalogenases. The at least one amino acid substitution results in the mutant protein forming a bond with the substrate which is more stable than the bond formed between the

corresponding wild-type protein and the substrate (e.g., a covalent bond). The at least one amino acid substitution in the mutant protein is a substitution at an amino acid residue in the corresponding wild-type protein that is associated with activating a water molecule which cleaves the bond formed between the corresponding wild-type protein and the substrate or at an amino acid residue in the corresponding wild-type protein that forms an ester intermediate with the substrate. In some embodiments, the mutant protein comprises at least two amino acid substitutions relative to a corresponding wild-type protein, wherein one substitution is in a residue which, in the wild-type protein, is associated with activating a water molecule or in a residue which, in the wild-type protein, forms an ester intermediate by nucleophilic attack of a substrate for the hydrolase, and another substitution in a residue which, in the wild-type protein, is at or near a binding site(s) for a hydrolase substrate, but is not in a residue that in the corresponding wild-type protein is associated with activating a water molecule or which forms ester intermediate with a substrate. In one embodiment, the second substitution is in a residue which, in the wild-type protein lines the site(s) for substrate entry into the catalytic pocket of the protein. The additional substitution(s) preferably increase the rate of stable covalent bond formation of those mutants binding to a substrate of a corresponding wild-type protein. Details of the sequences and mutations of proteins, hydrolases and dehalogenases are described, for example, in U. S. Pat. No. 7,238,842; U. S. Pat. No. 7,425,436; U. S. Pat. No. 7,429,472; U. S. Pat. No. 7,867,726; each of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

In some embodiments, stable interactions between elements are achieved by the use of known capture/binding systems, such as SNAP-Tag and/or CLIP -Tag.

In various embodiments, systems comprise fusion proteins comprising a mutant protein (e.g., mutant dehalogenase) and amino acid sequences of a protein or peptide of interest (e.g., a drug target, a marker protein (e.g., a selectable marker protein, affinity tag (e.g., a polyhistidine sequence)), an enzyme of interest (e.g., luciferase, RNasin, RNase, and/or GFP), a nucleic acid binding protein, an extracellular matrix protein, a secreted protein, an antibody or a portion thereof such as Fc, a bioluminescence protein, a receptor ligand, a regulatory protein, a serum protein, an immunogenic protein, a fluorescent protein, a protein with reactive cysteines, a receptor protein (e.g., NMDA receptor, a channel protein (e.g., an ion channel protein such as a sodium-, potassium- or a calcium-sensitive channel protein including a HERG channel protein)), a membrane protein, a cytosolic protein, a nuclear protein, a structural protein, a phosphoprotein, a kinase, a signaling protein, a metabolic protein, a mitochondrial protein, a receptor associated protein, a fluorescent protein, an enzyme substrate (e.g., a protease substrate), a transcription factor, a protein destabilization sequence, or a transporter protein (e.g., EAAT1-4 glutamate transporter), as well as targeting signals (e.g., a plastid targeting signal, such as a mitochondrial localization sequence, a nuclear localization signal or a myristoylation sequence, that directs the mutant hydrolase to a particular location)).

In certain embodiments, a fusion protein is expressed from a recombinant DNA which encodes the mutant protein (e.g., mutant dehalogenase) and at least one protein of interest or formed by chemical synthesis. The protein of interest may be fused to the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the mutant protein. In some embodiments, the fusion protein comprises a protein of interest at the N-terminus and another protein, e.g., a different protein, at the C- terminus, of the mutant protein (e.g., mutant dehalogenase). For example, the protein of interest may be a fluorescent protein or an antibody. Optionally, the proteins in the fusion are separated by a connector sequence (e.g., one having at least 2 amino acid residues, such as one having 13 to 17 amino acid residues). The presence of a connector sequence in a fusion protein does not substantially alter the function of either protein in the fusion relative to the function of each individual protein. Thus, for a fusion of a mutant dehalogenase and a luciferase (e.g., Renilla luciferase, Oplophorus-derived luciferase (See e.g., U.S. App. Ser. No. 12/773,002; U.S. App. Ser. No. 13/287,986; herein incorporated by reference in their entireties)), the presence of a connector sequence does not substantially alter the stability of the bond formed between the mutant dehalogenase and a substrate therefor or the activity of the luciferase. For any particular combination of proteins in a fusion, a wide variety of connector sequences may be employed. In some embodiments, the connector sequence is a sequence recognized by an enzyme (e.g., a cleavable sequence (e.g., enzyme cleavable, chemically cleavable, photocleavable, etc.)).

III. Methods

Provided herein are methods utilizing cell-compatible and cell-permeable compositions comprising a pair of functional elements (e.g., capture element and cellular interaction element) linked by a chemoselectively-cleavable linker.

In some embodiments, a dual-function chemoselectively-cleavable composition (e.g., cellular interaction and capture) is introduced extracellularly to a cell or cell population. Due to its cell permeability, the composition enters the cell by an appropriate mechanism (e.g., passive transport). In some embodiments, a cell is exposed to a cell-compatible/permeable composition comprising two functional elements linked by a chemoselectively-cleavable linker (e.g., Z-Y- Q, Z-L-Y-Q, Ζ-ΐ Υ- L 2 -Q, etc.) under conditions such that the composition enters the cell. According to the identity of the functional elements displayed on the composition, the composition will interact with one or more cellular components become subcellularly localized, etc. Subsequently, upon exposure to a chemoselective agent, the chemoselective moiety is cleaved, and the functional groups are unlinked. In some embodiments, prior to exposing the chemoselectively-cleavable composition to the chemoselective agent, one or more of the following steps is performed: detecting a function element of the composition, allowing a functional element to interact (e.g., bind) a cellular component, lysing or permeabilizing the cell (e.g., to cellular components not permeable to an intact cell), binding a functional element to a surface or solid support, etc.

In some embodiments, a dual-function chemoselectively-cleavable composition comprises a first functional element (e.g., cellular interaction element) configured to interact with a cellular target (e.g., intracellular protein) and a second functional element (e.g., capture element) configured to bind to a capture agent (e.g., mutant dehalogenase, antibody, streptavidin, etc.) connected by a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety (e.g., optionally comprising linker moieties connecting the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety to one or both functional elements). In some embodiments, upon exposure of cell to the dual-function chemoselectively-cleavable composition, the composition enters the cell (e.g., by any suitable mechanism (e.g., passive diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, etc.). In some

embodiments, time is allowed for the first functional element to interact (e.g., covalently or non-covalently bind) with the cellular component. In some embodiments, the cell is lysed, and the lysate is exposed to the capture agent (e.g., in solution, on a solid surface, etc.). Time is provided to allow for the second functional element to bind to a capture agent. In some embodiments, the captured composition bound to the cellular component is exposed to a chemoselective agent to cleave the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety, resulting in release of the cellular component from the capture agent. In some embodiments, the liberated cellular target and/or cellular interaction element is detected, characterized, identified, analyzed, etc.

In embodiments in which one of the functional elements of the composition is a cellular interaction element, the composition is allowed to reside within the cell for an appropriate time period (e.g., <1 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 1 mia, 2 min., 5 mia, 10 mia, 20 mia 30 mia, 45 mia, 1 hour, 2 hours, 6 hours, 1 day, 2 days, or more, or any suitable ranges there between). In some embodiments, when a cellular target for the cellular interaction element is present within the cell, interaction (e.g., covalent binding, non-covalent binding, etc.) between the cellular target and the cellular interaction element will occur (e.g., on the appropriate timescale, given appropriate cellular conditions (e.g., cell cycle timing), given proper localization of the cellular target and the cellular interaction element within the cell, etc.). In some embodiments, following interaction of the cellular target and the cellular interaction element, the cell or cells are lysed or further permeabilized (e.g., such that the cellular target can exit the cell). In embodiments in which one of the functional elements of the composition is a capture element, the cell, composition, and/or cell lysate is exposed to a capture agent (e.g., in solution or attached to a solid support). In some embodiments, capture of the capture element of the composition provides immobilization of a cellular target bound to the cellular interaction element. In some embodiments, following capture (e.g., immobilization), unbound cellular components (e.g., those that do not interact with the cellular interaction element) are washed away or otherwise removed. In some embodiments, the cellular interaction element (e.g., and bound cellular target, if present) is liberated from the capture agent (e.g., and solid support) by chemoselective cleavage of the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety. In some embodiments, the liberated cellular target and/or cellular interaction element is detected, characterized, identified, analyzed, etc.

In certain embodiments, provided herein is a sensitive method for discovery and validation of the cellular targets (e.g., protein or protein complexes) of bioactive agents (e.g., small and/or drug-like molecules) in cells. In some embodiments, a bioactive agent or library thereof is employed as cellular interaction element(s) in the compositions described herein and exposed to cell(s) comprising only endogenous proteins or expressing a cellular target of interest. The compositions and methods allow capture, purification/isolation, liberation, and characterization of the bioactive agent, cellular target, and/or pair thereof that resulting in a positive interaction (e.g., binding event). In some embodiments, because mild conditions are used for liberating the cellular complex, the interaction between the cellular interaction element and cellular target is not disturbed during processing and analysis.

In some embodiments, the methods find use as a part of, or a companion to, phenotypic screening assays. For example, a set of small molecules that yield the desired phenotypic response in a phenotypic screen are each tethered to capture elements (e.g., by chemical synthesis or enzymatic means) by a chemoselectively-cleavable linker. Cells are treated with the dual-function (e.g., cellular interaction and post-interaction capture) which engages the cellular target (optionally fused with a reporter) and re-generates the phenotypic response. In some embodiments, cells are then lysed, and the cellular target, now linked to the cellular interaction element, is captured by binding of the capture element with a capture agent (e.g., displayed on a surface or substrate). In some embodiments, the capture agent is in solution and is subsequently bound to a solid surface after capture of the capture element. In other embodiments, the capture agent is bound to a solid surface (e.g., well, microplate, bead, etc.) upon interaction with the capture element.

In some embodiments, methods are provided for the capture or "pull down" of endogenous targets (e.g., known and unknown targets of a bioactive agent). In some embodiments, a bioactive agent is employed as a cellular interaction element. A

chemoselectively-cleavable composition employing such a cellular interaction element is introduced to cells and passes into the intracellular space. Endogenous protein(s) (or other endogenous targets) are bound to bound to cellular interaction element and are then captured (e.g., pulled down) by a capture agent (e.g., displayed on a surface (e.g., bead)), typically following lysis of the cell(s). Such pull-down methods can be followed by analysis to identify the targets (e.g., proteins) captured. Analysis techniques may include Western blotting, gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, functional analysis, etc.

In some embodiments, attaching a bioactive molecule (e.g., cell interaction element) to a capture element via a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety (and optionally one or more linker moieties) creates a dual-function composition that maintains the cell permeability of the parent bioactive molecule. In some embodiments, the dual-function composition finds use in a variety of applications, including, for example, in protein pull-down from cells by means of solid-supported capture, as previously described in WO/2014093671 and WO/2014151282 (herein incorporated by reference in their entireties). The compositions and linkers described herein allow for chemoselective release of captured targets. This chemoselective cleavage provides a mode of release that is independent of a small molecule-protein interaction and allows for efficient release of the protein from the resin with minimal background. The cleavable linker cleavage rate is not affected by the off rate of the bioactive small molecule from the target protein and allows for efficient cleavage even in the case of covalent attachment of the cellular target from the cellular interaction element. Previous approaches for release of captured targets from resin include non-specific elution under denaturing conditions and specific elution via competition. A downside of non-specific elution is the denaturation of target proteins and release of non-specifically bound proteins from the resin. Specific elution using unmodified bioactive compound has advantage over denaturation by releasing only specifically bound proteins, but the efficiency of release is strongly dependent on solubility and residence time of the small molecule with each target; long residence time and/or low drug solubility results in inefficient release of the target protein. The

chemoselectively-cleavable linkers described herein overcome these disadvantages. In some embodiments, the linkers described herein allow for selective release of captured cellular target from a solid support regardless of the type of drug-protein interaction. The ability to selectively release captured target regardless of solubility or kinetics/thermodynamics of the system components provides significant advantage over existing methodologies.

In some embodiments, a first functional element of a composition herein is a photoaffinity group. In some such embodiments, methods comprise: (a) contacting a reaction mix, cell, cell lysate, etc., containing a target with a dual-function composition comprising a photoaffinity group, a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety, and a second functional group; (b) activating the photoaffinity group (e.g., by exposure to light) to induce binding of the target; and (c) contacting the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety with a chemoselective agent to release the photoaffinity group and bound target from the second functional group. In some embodiments, methods further comprise one or more steps between (b) and (c) or detecting, isolating, purifying, etc. the target-bound composition.

In some embodiments, a first functional element of a composition herein is a solid surface and a second functional element is a cellular interaction element, capture element, photoaffinity group, affinity element, or other group capable of binding (covalently or non- covalently) a target. In some such embodiments, methods comprise: (a) contacting a dual- function composition comprising a solid surface, a chemoselectively-cleavable moiety, and a second functional element capable of binding (covalently or non-covalently) a target with a reaction mixture, cell lysate, etc. comprising the target; (b) allowing binding of the target to the second functional element; and (c) contacting the chemoselectively-cleavable moiety with a chemoselective agent to release the second functional element and bound target from the surface. In some embodiments, methods further comprise one or more steps between (b) and (c) or detecting, isolating, purifying, etc. the target-bound composition.

IV. Allyl carbamate structures

The following provides an exemplary set of dual-function, cell-permeable, cell- compatible, and chemoselectively cleavable compositors. Similar compositions comprising different chemoselectively cleavable groups (e.g., propargyl groups, etc.), capture elements (e.g., affinity molecules), and/or other functional elements (e.g., detectable moiety) in place of the cellular interaction element (Z) are within the scope of embodiments herein. Provided herein are allyl-carbamate (Y) containing linkers for connecting haloalkane substrates (A-X) to cellular interaction elements (Z). In particular, the linkers provided herein comprise a chemically-cleavable allyl carbamate unit and find use within substrates for dehalogenase variants that form covalent bonds with their haloalkane substrates.

Provided herein are chemical linkers that find use, for example, in connecting two chemical moieties (e.g., a functional group and a dehalogenase substrate). In some embodiments, the linkers are cell-permeable and chemically-cleavable. In some embodiments, the linkers described herein bear certain structural similarities with previously described chloroalkane carbamates (U.S. Pub. No. 2014/0322794; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). In some embodiments, the linkers described herein, like the linkers described in U.S. Pub. No. 2014/0322794, comprise one or more alkyl carbamate structural motifs. However, whether or not an alkyl carbamate is present, the linkers described in some embodiments herein comprise one or more allyl carbamate units. The inclusion of the allyl carbamate allows the linkers (and compounds or substrates comprising such linkers) to exhibit both cell permeability and cell compatibility. In some embodiments, the allyl carbamate group further renders the linkers (and compounds or substrates comprising such linkers) chemoselectively cleavable. In some embodiments, the linkers described herein are one or more (e.g., all) of cell-permeable, stable in cells, lack non-specific binding, and cleave under mild conditions.

In some embodiments, the chemoselective-cleavage of the allyl carbamate linker occurs upon treatment with transition metal complex (e.g., a coordinated Palladium (Pd) or Ruthenium (Ru)). In some embodiments, a chemoselective agent is produced by the coordination of a transition metal (e.g., Pd, Ru, etc.) from transition metal salt by a ligand (e.g., one or more water soluble phosphine ligands) that stabilizes the transition metal in a catalytically active state (e.g., Pd(0), Ru(II), etc.) (See, e.g., FIG. 3). In this mechanism (to which the embodiments described herein are not limited), the catalytically-active complex Pd(TPPTS)2 exists in equilibrium with a more stable, but catalytically less active, water soluble complex Pd(TPPTS)3. Pd(TPPTS)3 is generated by a reaction of water-soluble organic phosphines and Pd(II) salt. Phosphine (e.g. TPPTS) performs a dual role in generation of catalytically active Pd(0) specie. First, one equivalent of TPPTS is sacrificed to reduce Pd(II) to Pd (0). Second, TPPTS is involved in stabilization of Pd(0) specie in its catalytically-active form. Other phosphines are capable of both reducing Pd(II) to

catalytically-active Pd(0) and stabilizing Pd(0) specie in solution. In some embodiments, reduction is accomplished by another reducing reagent (e.g., hydrogen, CO, formic acid, etc.). A general mechanism for the cleavage of an allyl carbamate linker by a transition metal coordination complex is depicted in FIG. 4; although the cleavage is not limited to any particular mechanism of action and an understanding of the mechanism of action is not necessary to practice the embodiments described herein. In FIG. 4, an allyl carbamate linking Rl and R2 moieties is cleaved by a Pd(TPPTS) 2 complex (or other moiety (e.g., phosphines) capable of both reducing Pd(II) to catalytically-active Pd(0), and stabilizing Pd(0) specie in solution); although the general scheme depicted in FIG. 4 applies to other allyl carbamate-containing linkers, compounds, and substrates as well as other

chemoselective agents (e.g., other transition metals (e.g., Ru) and/or other coordinating ligands). In the general mechanism depicted in FIG. 4 (to which the embodiments described herein are not limited), the catalytically-active complex Pd(TPPTS) 2 destabilizes the allyl carbamate (step 1) and/or stabilizes the cleavage intermediates (step 2) to drive cleavage of the otherwise stable allyl carbamate group. The carbamate intermediate is then converted to an amine and CO 2 (step 3) while the allyl intermediate is trapped by reaction with a nucleophile (step 4). Suitable nucleophiles for completion of the cleavage reaction include, but are not limited to: MOPS, MES, CAPS, HEPES, benzenesulfinic acids, carbon nucleophiles (e.g., dimedone, dimethyl-barbituric acid, etc.) (FIG. 5).

EXPERIMENTAL

Example 1

The following example demonstrates the chemos elective cleavage catalyzed by a palladium: TPPTS complex. Multiple chloroalkane linkers of similar size containing or lacking an allyl-carbamate group in their chemical structure were synthesized and conjugated to a Cy3 fluorescent dye (FIG. 6). PBI-5696 contains an allyl-carbamate group while PBI- 5698 and PBI-5697 contain an alkyl-carbamate group. The Cy3: chloroalkane conjugates were incubated with an immobilized HALOTAG protein (HALOTAG coated beads;

Promega Corporation), and following covalent binding of the conjugates to immobilized HALOTAG, the beads were treated with 2mM palladium: TPPTS complex and examined for release of the Cy3 dye from the resin. Under these cleavage conditions, only the

Cy3: chloroalkane conjugate that contained the allyl-carbamate group (i.e., PBI-5696) was cleaved resulting in the release of the Cy3 dye from the beads (FIG. 6). These results indicate that the palladium-catalyzed cleavage is selective to an allyl carbamate group.

Example 2

The following example describes insertion of an allyl carbamate group into the chemical structure of the chloroalkane linker and optimization of this insertion for minimal perturbation to the structure of the chloroalkane linker. The chloroalkane linker can be chemically attached to bioactive compounds to allow for selective isolation of their interacting cellular protein targets. This chloroalkane linker was optimized for minimal impact on a compound's bioactivity and cellular permeability as well as rapid covalent binding to a HALOTAG protein. In this example (FIGS. 7A-7C), the chloroalkane linker was conjugated to BIRB* (PBI-4834) and an allyl carbamate group was incorporated into the linker in 3 different configurations to generate PBI-5646, PBI-5676 and PBI-5677. The 4 BIRB* conjugates were compared for binding kinetics to a HALOTAG protein in a cell lysate or inside live cells. Binding kinetics to HALOTAG in lysate was measured by adding the BIRB*-chloroalkane conjugates to a lysate prepared from cells expressing a HALOTAG fusion protein at a final concentration of 1 μΜ. After 0— 60 minutes incubation, a fraction of each reaction taken at different time points (each containing a different BIRB* conjugate) was removed, HALGOTAG TMR-fluorescent ligand (Promega Corporation) was added to a final concentration of 1 μΜ and allowed to bind to the HALOTAG protein (which remained unbound). The time point fractions were resolved on SDS-PAGE and scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager (GE Healthcare). Bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT (GE Healthcare), and binding kinetics were determined as the percent binding with time relative to time zero when no chloroalkylated compound was added. PBI-5676 exhibited similar binding kinetic to HALOTAG as PBI-4834 indicating that in this configuration, the allyl carbamate group displayed minimal perturbation to the chloroalkane binding kinetic to HALOTAG.

Binding kinetics to HALOTAG inside cells was measured by treating live cells expressing a HALOTAG protein with the BIRB* chloroalkane conjugates at a final concentration of 10μΜ. After 0— 120 minutes incubation time points, the medium was replaced with medium containing 5μΜ HALOTAG TMR-fluorescent ligand, and the cells were incubated for additional 15 minutes allowing the TMR-fluorescent ligand to bind to the HALOTAG protein (which remained unbound). After the media was removed, the cells were lysed with a detergent lysis buffer, and the time points were analyzed as described above. PBI-5676 exhibited similar binding kinetics to HALOTAG as PBI-4834 indicating that, in this configuration, the allyl carbamate group displayed minimal impact on cellular permeability.

Taken together, the results in this example demonstrate that in an optimized configuration, the incorporation of an allyl-carbamate group into the chloroalkane linker chemical structure has minimal impact on its features (e.g., rapid binding kinetics to

HALOTAG and minimal impact on cellular permeability).

Example 3

The following example further demonstrates the generality of the minimal perturbation imposed by the allyl-carbamate group to the chloroalkane linker structure and features (e.g., minimal impact on binding kinetics to HALOTAG, compound bioactivity, and cellular permeability). BIRB796 was conjugated to a chloroalkane linker (PBI-5446) and an allyl-carbamate group was inserted into the linker at the optimized configuration determined above to generate PBI-5813 (FIGS. 8A-8C). Both conjugates were compared for binding kinetics to HALOTAG inside live cells and for bioactivity. Binding kinetics to HALOTAG inside cells was measured by treating live cells expressing a HALOTAG protein with the BIRB796 chloroalkane conjugates at a final concentration of ΙΟμΜ. After 0— 120 minutes incubation time points, the medium was replaced with medium containing 5μΜ HALOTAG TMR-fluorescent ligand, and the cells were incubated for additional 15 minutes to allow the TMR fluorescent ligand to bind to the HALOTAG protein (which remained unbound). After the media was removed, the cells were lysed with a detergent lysis buffer, the samples at the various time points resolved on SDS-PAGE, and the images scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager. Bands were quantitated, and the binding kinetics were determined as the percent binding with time relative to time zero when no chloroalkylated compound was added. Both conjugates displayed similar binding kinetics to HALOTAG inside live cells indicating that the allyl-carbamate group at the optimized configuration displayed minimal perturbation to cellular permeability and binding kinetics to HALOTAG (FIGS. 8A-8C).

Bioactivity was measured through inhibition of TNFa secretion in LPS stimulated THP-1 cells (FIGS. 8A-8C). THP-1 cells were plated into wells of 96-well plates at 100,000 cells/well, treated with serial dilutions of BIRB796 conjugates for 2 hours, and then stimulated for 24 hours with LPS (Sigma) at final concentration of 250ng/ml. The supernatant was analyzed for human TNFa secretion by ELISA (R&D Systems). Both conjugates displayed similar inhibition of TNFa secretion indicating that the incorporation of the allyl- carbamate group at this configuration had no impact on bioactivity of BIRB796. Thus, it imposes minimal impact on the chloroalkane features.

Example 4

The following example demonstrates the cellular stability of the allyl carbamate group. For these experiments, the chloroalkane containing an allyl-carbamate at the optimized configuration was conjugated to tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) (PBI-5741). U20S cells stably expressing HALOTAG and HALOTAG:NLS 3 displaying ubiquitous and nuclear expression respectively were treated for 24 hours with 200nM PBI-5741 or were grown for 24 h and then treated for 15 min with 2.5μΜ PBI-5741. Cells were then washed 3x with media prior to imaging on a Nikon confocal microscope. Following imaging, cells were collected, lysed with a detergent lysis buffer, resolved on SDS-PAGE, and images scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager. These labeling treatments resulted in the covalent binding of the TMR conjugate to HALOTAG. Any cellular cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with loss of the dye, and thus the loss of labeling intensity. The cell imaging and gel analysis results (FIG. 9) demonstrate similar labeling intensities after 24 hours and 15 minutes of labeling, indicating cellular stability of the allyl-carbamate group over 24 hours.

Example 5

Enrichment experiments conducted during development of embodiments described herein demonstrated enhanced enrichment for endogenous targets with long residence time using palladium-catalyzed target release versus release by competitive drug elution (FIG. 10). BIRB796, which exhibits slow off-rates to its targets, was conjugated to a chloroalkane containing an allyl-carbamate group (PBI-5813). In this example, 2x10 7 HepG2 cells were plated in 150mm dish, and after 16 hours, a final concentration of 20μΜ BIRB796 conjugate (PBI-5813) was added to 3 dishes while 3 control dishes remained untreated. Following a 2h incubation, the media was removed; cells were quickly washed with PBS, lysed for lOmin in a detergent-based lysis buffer, and centrifuged at 3000 x g for lmin. Clear lysates were than added to 75ul of settled HALOTAG coated beads and incubated with shaking for 15min. Following binding, the unbound fraction was removed, the HALOTAG coated beads were washed 3x, and the captured targets were specifically released from the beads by competitive elution (400μΜ unconjugated BIRB797) or chemical cleavage (1 or 2mM Palladium: TPPTS at 1 :2 molar ratio). The released targets were subjected to western blot analysis (FIG. 10) with anti-MAPK14 antibody (ABC AM); anti-MAPKl l antibody (Cell signaling); anti- MAPK9 antibody (Cell signaling); and anti-MAPKl 3 antibody (Thermo Fisher). Results in FIG. 10 indicate enhanced enrichment of known BIRB796 targets utilizing target release by chemical cleavage over competitive drug elution. These results demonstrate the advantage of chemical cleavage over competitive drug elution for enrichment of targets exhibiting long residence time.

Example 6

Experiments conducted during development of embodiments described herein demonstrated that in a protein rich environment (e.g., concentrated cell lysate or protein- coated beads), the efficiency of palladium catalyzed cleavage is significantly reduced and is directly correlated to the protein concentration (FIG. 11). In experiments testing the impact of protein concentration on palladium catalyzed cleavage in solution, 5μg of HALOTAG was spiked into increasing concentrations of HEK293 cell lysate. HALOTAG was allowed to covalently bind to 4μΜ PBI-5741 (TMR conjugated to a chloroalkane containing an allyl carbamate group) for 30 min and then cleaved for 30 min with ImM or 2mM Pd(TPPTS) x at 1 :2 molar ratio of Pd to TPPTS while control sample remained untreated. Samples were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with loss of the dye, and thus a reduced labeling intensity of the HALOTAG protein. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of lost signal relative to control that was not treated with Pd(TPPTS) x . Results indicate that cleavage efficiency in the presence of increasing concentrations of cell lysate was significantly lower compared to cleavage efficiency in buffer and was directly correlated to protein concentration.

In experiments testing the impact of protein concentration on palladium-catalyzed cleavage on the beads, increasing amounts of HALOTAG coated beads were incubated with 20μΜ PBI-5741 for 30 min while control sample was not incubated with the beads.

Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG, beads were treated with 2mM Pd(TPPTS) x at 1 :2 molar ratio of Pd to TPPTS for 30 min. Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. Samples of released dye together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye that was not incubated with the beads. Results indicate that cleavage efficiency was directly correlated to the amount of immobilized protein and was significantly reduced in the presence of increasing amounts of protein coated beads.

Example 7

This example demonstrates that certain buffer compositions can affect the palladium- catalyzed cleavage of an allyl carbamate group (FIG. 12). In this example, HALOTAG was spiked into high concentrations of HEK293 cell lysate (150μg) and then allowed to covalently bind to PBI-5741 for 30 min. Labeling reactions were then treated for 30 min with 2mM Pd(TPPTS) x at 1 :2 molar ratio of Pd to TPPTS prepared in different buffers while control sample remained untreated. Samples were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT.

Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with loss of the dye, and thus a reduced labeling intensity of the HALOTAG protein. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of lost signal relative to control that was not treated with Pd(TPPTS) x . Results in FIG. 12 indicate that buffer composition plays a crucial role in palladium-catalyzed cleavage efficiency. While cleavage in HEPES, MOPS, and MES buffers was efficient, cleavage in CAPS and TRIS buffers was completely suppressed.

Example 8

This example demonstrates that the nature of phosphine and buffer composition can affect the palladium catalyzed cleavage of allyl carbamate group (FIG.13). In this example, HALOTAG protein was spiked into high concentrations of HEK293 cell lysate (15C^g) and then allowed to covalently bind to PBI-5741 for 30 min. Labeling reactions were then treated for 30 min with 2mM Pd(phosphine) x at 1 :2 molar ratio of Pd to phosphine prepared in different buffers while control sample remained untreated. Samples were resolved on SDS- PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage of the allyl-carbamate group would result in loss of the dye, and thus a reduced labeling intensity of the HALOTAG protein. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of lost signal relative to control that was not treated with

Pd(phosphine) x . Results in FIG.13 indicate that the nature of phosphine, as well as the buffer composition, plays a crucial role in palladium-catalyzed cleavage efficiency. Electron-poor phosphine DANPHOS outperformed the other phosphines in all buffers tested (HEPES, MOPS, MES), TPPTS displayed higher cleavage efficiency in MOPS buffer compared to MES and HEPES buffers while TXPDS (electron-rich phosphine), Cy-Amphos (positively charged and electron-rich), and BDSPPB (bidentate ligand) exhibited significantly lower cleavage efficiency (FIG. 13).

Example 9

This example demonstrates that the nature of phosphine and buffer composition can affect the allyl carbamate cleavage efficiency on the beads (FIG. 14). The experiments in FIG. 14 were done at two different amounts of HALOTAG coated beads (beads containing 225 or 450μg immobilized HALOTAG). Beads were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30min while control sample was not incubated with the beads. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG, beads were treated for 30 min with 2mM Pd(TPPTS) x or 2mM Pd( DANPHOS) x at 1 :2, 1 :4, and 1 :8 molar ratios of Pd to phosphine, which were prepared in different buffers. Cleavage of the allyl-carbamate group would result in release of the dye from the beads. The released dyes together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye that was not incubated with the beads. Results indicate that higher molar ratios of Pd:phosphine is needed for cleavage on the resin. In addition, DANPHOS outperformed TPPTS in all 3 tested buffers (HEPES, MES, MOPS).

Example 10

The following example demonstrates that palladium: phosphine complexes premade in water and stored under oxygen-depleted conditions are more active than complexes prepared in buffer and used immediately. In these experiments (FIG. 15), HALOTAG coated beads containing (45C^g immobilized HALOTAG) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30min while control sample was not incubated with the beads. Following covalent binding of PBI- 5741 to immobilized HALOTAG, beads were treated for 60 min with 2mM of Pd(TPPTS) x or Pd(DANPHOS) x at 1 :8 molar ratios of Pd to phosphine. The Pd-phosphine complexes were either prepared in the different buffers and used immediately or premade in water as 4mM solutions and stored under oxygen depleted conditions. The premade solutions were diluted into the same buffers to create the 2mM solution and then used immediately.

Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. The released dyes together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT.

Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye that was not incubated with the beads. Higher cleavage efficiency of the allyl carbamate group was observed with the premade palladium: phosphine complexes in all three buffers. These results indicate that the premade Pd-phosphine complexes contained higher concentration of active catalyst resulting with higher cleavage efficiency. In addition, results also indicated that DANPHOS outperformed TPPTS in all 3 tested buffers (HEPES, MES, MOPS).

Example 11

The following example demonstrates the chemoselective-cleavage catalyzed by the premade palladium: TPPTS complex (1 :8 molar ratio of Pd to phosphine). Multiple chloroalkane linkers of similar size containing or lacking an allyl-carbamate group in their chemical structure were synthesized and conjugated to a TMR fluorescent dye (FIG 16). PBI- 5741 and PBI-6045 contained an allyl-carbamate group while PBI-6044 contained an alkyl- carbamate group. In this example, purified HALOTAG protein was allowed to covalently bind to TMR-chloroalkane conjugates for 30 min. Labeling reactions were then treated for 30 min with 2mM, 0.66mM, and 0.22mM Pd(TPPTS) x at 1 :8 molar ratio of Pd to TPPTS while control sample remained untreated. Samples were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT.

Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with loss of the dye, and thus a reduced labeling intensity of the HALOTAG protein. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of lost signal relative to control that was not treated with Pd(TPPTS) x . Results in Fig 16 indicate that, under these cleavage conditions, only the TMR chloroalkane conjugates containing an allyl-carbamate group (e.g., PBI-5741 and PBI-6045) were cleaved, and the cleavage efficiency was time and concentration dependent. These results indicate that the palladium-catalyzed cleavage is selective to an allyl carbamate group.

Example 12

The following example demonstrates the cellular stability of the allyl carbamate group. For these experiments, U20S cells stably expressing HALOTAG:NLS 3 (displaying nuclear expression) were treated for 24 h with 200nM of the TMR chloroalkane conjugates. Two of the conjugates, PBI-5741 and PBI-6045, contained an allyl carbamate group while PB 1-6044 contained an alkyl-carbamate group. Cells were washed lx with media prior to imaging on a Nikon confocal microscope. Following imaging, cells were collected, lysed with a detergent lysis buffer, resolved on SDS-PAGE, and images scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager. These labeling treatments resulted with covalent binding of the TMR conjugates to HALOTAG. Any cellular cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with loss of the dye, and thus a loss of labeling intensity. The cell imaging and gel analysis results (FIGS. 17A-17B) demonstrate similar labeling intensities for all 3 conjugates indicating cellular stability of the allyl carbamate group over 24 hours.

Example 13

Experiments conducted during development of embodiments described herein demonstrated that, in a protein rich environment (e.g., protein coated beads), the efficiency of palladium-catalyzed cleavage is significantly reduced and is directly correlated to protein concentration (FIG. 18). In these experiments, increasing amounts of HALOTAG coated magnetic or non-magnetic beads were incubated for 30 min with 20μΜ PBI-5741 while control sample was not incubated with the beads. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG, beads were treated with 2mM, 0.66mM, or 0.22 mM premade Pd(TPPTS) x complex at 1 :8 molar ratio of Pd to TPPTS for 30 min in HEPES buffer.

Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. Samples of released dye together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye that was not incubated with the beads. Results indicate that cleavage efficiency was directly correlated to the amount of immobilized protein and was significantly reduced in the presence of increasing amounts of protein coated beads.

Example 14

This example demonstrates that the nature of phosphine can affect palladium- catalyzed cleavage of an allyl carbamate group (FIG. 19). In these experiments, HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (containing 40C^g immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30 min while control sample was not incubated with the beads. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG protein, beads were treated with 2mM or 0.66mM premade Pd(phosphine) complexes at 1:8 molar ratio for 30 min in HEPES buffer. Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. Samples of released dye together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye that was not incubated with the beads. Results in FIG.19 indicate that the nature of phosphine plays a crucial role in palladium catalyzed cleavage efficiency. Electron-poor phosphines from the DANPHOS family, especially DANPHOS and o- DANPHOS, outperformed the other phosphines.

Example 15

This example demonstrates that the nature of nucleophile can affect palladium- catalyzed cleavage of an allyl carbamate group (FIG. 20). In these experiments, HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (containing 400μg immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30 min while control sample was not incubated with the beads. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG protein, beads were treated for 30 min with 2mM, 0.66mM, or 0.22mM premade Pd(DANPHOS) x or Pd(o- DANPHOS) x complexes at 1 :8 molar ratio of Pd to phosphine in multiple amine buffers or non-amine buffer containing different nucleophiles. Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. Samples of released dye together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye that was not incubated with the beads. Results in FIG. 20 indicate that the nature of nucleophile plays a crucial role in palladium-catalyzed cleavage efficiency. In addition, the combination of phosphine and nucleophile is very important. For Pd-DANPHOS complex, the highest cleavage efficiency was achieved using PBS buffer supplemented with 5mM dimethylbarbituric acid. For o- DANPHOS the highest cleavage efficiency was achieved using MOPS buffer. Furthermore, o-DANPHOS outperformed DANPHOS especially at the 0.22mM concentrations.

Example 16

Experiments conducted during development of embodiments described herein demonstrated that the efficiency of palladium-catalyzed cleavage is dependent on the molar ratio of the premade Pd-phosphine solutions (FIG. 21). In these experiments, HALOTAG coated beads containing (40C^g immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30min while control sample was not incubated with the beads.

Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG protein, beads were treated for 30 min with 2mM, 0.6mM, or 0.22mM of Pd-DANPHOS complex at 1 :4, 1 :6, 1 :8, 1: 10, 1: 12 and 1 : 15 molar ratios of Pd to DANPHOS in PBS/dimethylbarbituric acid.

Cleavage of the allyl carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. The released dyes, together with the control dye, were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT.

Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye which was not incubated with beads. Higher cleavage efficiencies were observed for premade solutions of Pd(DANPHOS) x at a molar ratio of Pd to DANPHOS of 1 :6 and above.

Example 17

The following example describes insertion of an allyl-carbamate group into the chemical structure of the chloroalkane linker and optimization of this insertion for efficient palladium- catalyzed cleavage and minimal perturbation to the features of the chloroalkane linker (e.g., rapid binding to HALOTAG and minimal interference with a compound's cellular permeability). The chloroalkane linker can be chemically attached to a bioactive compound to allow for selective isolation of their interacting cellular protein targets. In this example, the chloroalkane linker was conjugated to Ibrutinib, a covalent kinase inhibitor, to generate PBI-6040. To optimize the insertion of the allyl carbamate group, 7 additional linkers of different length containing the allyl carbamate group in multiple configurations were generated and conjugated to Ibrutinib (FIG. 22). These Ibrutinib conjugates were compared for binding kinetics to a HALOTAG protein in a cell lysate or inside live cells (FIG. 23), capture of a BTK:NLuc fusion protein (BTK is a target of Ibrutinib) (FIG. 24A), and efficiency of palladium catalyzed cleavage (FIG. 24B).

Binding kinetics to HALOTAG in lysate (FIG. 23 A) was measured by treating a lysate prepared from cells, expressing a HALOTAG fusion protein, with the Ibrutinib chloroalkane conjugates at a final concentration of ΙμΜ for up 60 minutes. After a specified incubation time, an aliquot was removed and treated with HALOTAG TMR-fluorescent ligand

(Promega Corporation) at a final concentration of 1 μΜ to label the remaining unbound HALOTAG fusion protein. The aliquots were resolved on SDS-PAGE and scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager (GE Healthcare). Bands were quantitated using

IMAGEQUANT (GE Healthcare), and binding kinetics was determined as the percent binding over time relative to time zero when no chloroalkane-tagged compound added. All linkers, except of the shorter linker PBI-6041, displayed good binding kinetic to HALOTAG with the longest linkers, PBI-6031 and PBI-6032, exhibiting relative slower binding. These results indicate that for all configurations, except PBI-6041, the insertion of the allyl carbamate group did not have with any significant interference with the chloroalkane binding to the HALOTAG protein.

Binding kinetics to HALOTAG inside cells (FIG. 23B) was measured by treating live cells, expressing a HALOTAG fusion protein, with the Ibrutinib chloroalkane conjugates at a final concentration of ΙΟμΜ for up to 90 minutes. Medium was then replaced with medium containing 5μΜ HALOTAG TMR-fluorescent ligand, and the cells were incubated for additional 15 minutes to label the remaining unbound HALOTAG fusion protein. Cells were then lysed with a detergent lysis buffer, and the samples at the various time points were analyzed as described above. All conjugates displayed similar binding kinetics to HALOTAG indicating that the insertion of the allyl carbamate group exhibited minimal interference with cellular permeability. Furthermore, the length of these linkers had also minimal impact on cellular permeability.

To interrogate capture efficiency of an interacting cellular target, a known target of Ibrutinib, BTK, was genetically fused to NANOLUC (NLuc) luciferase reporter (Promega Corporation). Since Ibrutinib is a covalent inhibitor of BKT, a TEV recognition site was incorporated between BTK and NLuc to allow proteolytic release of NLuc from the beads.

Following a 2 hour treatment of cell lysate (from cells expressing the BTK:NLuc fusion) with ΙμΜ Ibrutinib chloroalkane conjugates (final concentration), the Ibrutinib chloroalkane conjugates, and their interacting BTK:NLuc target, were captured onto HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (Promega Corporation). Capture efficiency was determined as the percent of lost in bioluminescence in the unbound fractions relative to the untreated cell lysate. Results in FIG. 24A indicate that for the shorter linkers, PBI-6041, PBI-6025, and PBI-6027, the insertion of the allyl carbamate group reduced capture efficiency relative to PBI-6040, which does not contain an allyl carbamate group. However, for the longer linkers, PBI-6029, PBI- 6030, PBI-6031, and PBI-6032, the insertion of the allyl carbamate group did not interfere with capture efficiency.

To interrogate the efficiency of palladium-catalyzed cleavage of these linkers, the release of BTK:NLuc fusion covalently captured onto the HALOTAG beads was determined by two methods: i) TEV proteolytic cleavage and ii) palladium-catalyzed cleavage (FIG. 24B). TEV proteolytic cleavage of the fusion would lead to the release of NLuc while palladium catalyzed cleavage of the allyl carbamate group within the chloroalkane linker would result with the release of BTK:NLuc. Western analysis of the released proteins using an anti-NLuc antibody indicated significant release of NLuc by TEV proteolytic cleavage for all the tested linkers. However, a lower release was observed for the shorter linker PBI-6041, consistent with its lower binding kinetics to HALOTAG, and its lower capture of BTK:Nluc. Significant release of BTK:NLuc by Pd(DANPHOS) x treatment was detected only for linkers containing an allyl carbamate group. In addition, higher palladium-catalyzed cleavage efficiency was observed for the longer linkers. PBI-6030 and PBI-6029 displayed similar release efficiency by TEV and 2mM Pd(DANPHOS) x , while the longer PBI-6031 and PBI- 6032 displayed similar release efficiency by TEV and 2mM and 0.66mM Pd(DANPHOS) x .

Taken together, these results demonstrate that the incorporation of the allyl carbamate group into the longer chloroalkane linkers enabled efficient palladium-catalyzed cleavage while displaying minimal interference with cell permeability and binding kinetics to

HALOTAG.

Example 18

The following example demonstrates the capability of palladium catalyzed elution to enrich targets that interact covalently with the bioactive compound. Ibrutinib binds covalently to a cysteine in the ATP binding pocket of its primary target, BTK. In addition, Ibrutinib has been reported to interact either covalently or reversibly with other tyrosine kinases, depending on the presence of a corresponding cysteine in the ATP binding pocket.

Following 2.5 hour treatment of Ramos cells with a final concentration of 20 μΜ ibrutinib- CA-T4E (control cells remained untreated), cells were lysed, and the chloroalkane conjugates, together with their bound targets, were captured onto HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (Promega Corporation). Targets were then released by 6 mM palladium catalyst and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis (FIG. 25). Mass spectrometry analysis indicated enrichment of multiple tyrosine kinases including kinases predicted to interact covalently (i.e., BTK, BLK and TEC). These results demonstrate the applicability of palladium-catalyzed elution to covalent interactions that cannot be addressed by other elution methods.

Example 19

The following example (See, e.g., FIG. 27) demonstrates that the nature of the phosphine and nucleophile can affect palladium-catalyzed cleavage of an allyl-carbamate linkage in a proteinaceous environment. In these experiments, HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (containing 40C^g immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60 μΜ PBI- 5741 for 30 min. Control dye, PBI-5741, was incubated with beads that do not contain any immobilized HALOTAG protein. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to the

immobilized HALOTAG protein, beads were treated with either 2mM, 0.66mM, or 0.22mM premade Pd(phosphine) complexes at 1:8 molar ratio for 30 min in HEPES or MOPS buffer. Cleavage of the allyl-carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. Samples of released dye, together with the control dye, were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands quantitated using

IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye. Results indicate that the nature of the phosphine and nucleophile play a crucial role in palladium catalyzed cleavage efficiency. Electron-poor phosphines from the

DANPHOS family, especially DANPHOS and o-DANPHOS, outperformed TPPTS, a commonly used phosphine.

Example 20

Experiments conducted during development of embodiments described herein demonstrated that the efficiency of palladium-catalyzed cleavage is dependent on the molar ratio of the Pd-phosphine solutions (See, e.g., FIG. 27; See also FIG. 21 and Example 16 for DANPHOS). In these experiments, HALOTAG coated beads (containing 400μg immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30min while control dye PBI- 5741 was incubated with beads that do not contain immobilized HALOTAG protein.

Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to the immobilized HALOTAG protein, the beads were treated for 30 min with either 2mM, 0.6mM, or 0.22mM of Pd-o-DANPHOS complex at 1 :4, 1:6, 1 :8, 1 :10, 1 :12, and 1 :15 molar ratios of Pd to o-DANPHOS. Cleavage of the allyl-carbamate linkage would result with release of the dye from the beads. The released dyes, together with the control dye, were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands quantitated using IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye. Higher cleavage efficiencies were observed for solutions of Pd-o-DANPHOS at a molar ratio of Pd to o- DANPHOS of 1 :8 to 1 : 10.

Example 21

This example demonstrates that the active catalyst can be stored either as a solution in sealed glass ampules or in a lyophilized form (See, e.g.,FIG. 28). When lyophilized, it is crucial that the palladium be sufficiently reduced prior to lyophilization. In these

experiments, HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (containing 40C^g immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30 min while control dye PBI-5741 was incubated with beads that do not contain immobilized HALOTAG protein. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG protein, the beads were treated for 30 min with 0.66mM Pd/o-DANPHOS, which was prepared from catalyst stored either as a solution or in a lyophilized form (lyophilized immediately or 1,3, 6, 22, and 52 hours after preparation). Cleavage of the allyl-carbamate linkage would result with release of the dye from the beads. Samples of released dye together with the control dye were resolved on SDS- PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands quantitated using

IMAGEQUANT. Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye. Results indicate that catalysts stored in solution or lyophilized 6 hours or more after preparation retained their activity.

Operations were performed under argon atmosphere (Schlenk technique). Water was degassed by 3x freeze-pump-thaw cycles.

o-DANPHOS (188 mg, 0.32 mmol, 97% pure) was placed in a sealed vial and equipped with stir bar. Air was evacuated, and the vial backfilled with argon (3x repetitions). Degassed water (9 mL) was added via cannula resulting in the formation of a clear solution. In a separate sealed vial, Na 2 PdC (11.8 mg, 0.04 mmol) was placed, air evacuated, and the vial backfilled with argon (3x repetitions). Degassed water (1 mL) was added to solid

Na 2 PdC , resulting in the formation of a brown solution. The brown aqueous solution of Na 2 PdC (1 mL, 11.8 mg/mL) solution was added to the stirred phosphine solution, resulting in the formation of a clear yellow solution. The clear, yellow solution of Pd-o-DANPHOS complex was allowed to mix for an appropriate amount of time under argon. When a sufficient amount of time had passed, the yellow solution was transferred to:

• 1 mL aliquots in glass ampules and fire sealed either under Argon or under vacuum.

DANPHOS (96 mg, 0.16 mmol, 97% pure) and Pd(OAc) 2 (4.5 mg, 0.02 mmol) were placed in a sealed vial equipped with stir bar. Air was evacuated, and the vial backfilled with argon (3x repetitions). Degassed water (5 mL) was added via cannula and upon stirring, resulted in the formation of a clear solution. (Pd(OAc)2 reacts and dissolves slowly). The clear yellow solution of Pd-DANPHOS complex was allowed to mix for 20 hours under argon before packaging into vials.

The efficiency of the catalyst does NOT depend on the Pd source. Both Na2PdC and

Pd(OAc)2 , have been experimentally shown that under identical conditions, both exhibited very similar efficiencies.

Example 23

The following example demonstrates that catalysts prepared from two different source of palladium salt have similar reactivity (See, e.g., FIG. 29). HALOTAG coated beads

(containing 400μg immobilized HALOTAG protein) were incubated with 60μΜ PBI-5741 for 30 min while control dye PBI-5741 was incubated with beads that do not contain immobilized HALOTAG protein. Following covalent binding of PBI-5741 to immobilized HALOTAG protein, the beads were treated for 30 min with 2mM Pd/DANPHOS catalyst prepared from two sources of palladium salt Pd(OAC)2 or Na2PdC at 1 : 8 molar ratios of Pd to phosphine. The Pd/DANPHOS complexes were reconstituted in either in HEPES or MOPS buffers. Cleavage of the allyl-carbamate group would result with release of the dye from the beads. The released dyes together with the control dye were resolved on SDS-PAGE, scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager, and bands quantitated using IMAGEQUANT.

Cleavage efficiency was determined as the percent of released dye relative to control dye. Similar cleavage efficiency of the allyl-carbamate group was observed for catalysts prepared from both sources of palladium salt.

Example 24

The following example describes insertion of an allyl-carbamate group into the chemical structure of the chloroalkane linker and optimization of this insertion for efficient palladium catalyzed cleavage and minimal perturbation to the features of the chloroalkane linker (e.g., rapid binding to HALOTAG and minimal interference with compound's potency and cellular permeability). The chloroalkane linker can be chemically attached to a bioactive compounds to allow for selective isolation of their interacting cellular targets. In this example, the chloroalkane linker was conjugated to BIRB796 to generate BIRB796-CA-T1. To optimize the insertion of the allyl carbamate group, 7 additional linkers of different length containing the allyl carbamate group in two different configurations were generated and conjugated to BIRB796 (FIG. 30). The conjugates were compared for binding kinetics to a HALOTAG protein in a cell lysate and inside live cells (FIG. 31), influence on BIRB796 potency (FIG. 32), and efficiency of palladium catalyzed linker cleavage (FIG. 33).

Binding kinetics to HALOTAG in lysate (FIG. 31 A) were measured by treating a lysate prepared from cells expressing a HALOTAG fusion protein with the BIRB796 chloroalkane conjugates at a final concentration of ΙμΜ for up to 60 minutes. After a specified incubation time, an aliquot was removed and treated with HALOTAG TMR- fluorescent ligand (Promega Corporation) at a final concentration of ΙμΜ to label the remaining unbound HALOTAG fusion protein. The aliquots were resolved on SDS-PAGE and scanned on a Typhoon 9400 fluorescent imager (GE Healthcare). Bands were quantitated using IMAGEQUANT (GE Healthcare), and binding kinetics was determined as the percent binding over time relative to time zero where no chloroalkane-tagged compound was added. Linkers with a trans-double bond (i.e. CA-T2E, CA-T3E and CA-T4E) displayed faster binding to HALOTAG than respective linkers with a cis-double bond. The binding kinetics of the longer linker CA-T4E was most similar to the non-cleavable linker CA-T1 demonstrating minimal influence on binding to HALOTAG.

Binding kinetics to HALOTAG inside cells (FIG. 3 IB) were measured by treating live cells expressing a HALOTAG fusion protein, with the BIRB796 chloroalkane conjugates at a final concentration of 10μΜ for up to 90 minutes. Medium was then replaced with medium containing 5μΜ HALOTAG TMR-fluorescent ligand, and the cells were incubated for additional 15 minutes to label the remaining unbound HALOTAG fusion protein. Cells were then lysed with a detergent lysis buffer, and the samples at the various time points were analyzed as described above. The linkers displayed similar relative influence on binding kinetics to HALOTAG in cells and in lysate indicating that regardless of their length, cellular permeability was not a limiting factor for their binding.

Inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) by BIRB796 reduces production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFa. Influence of the linkers on BIRB796 potency was tested by comparing the BIRB796 conjugates for inhibition of TNFa secretion from LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells (FIG. 32). THP-1 cells were plated in 96-well plates at 100,000 cells/well, treated with serial dilutions of BIRB796 (Cayman Chemical) and BIRB796-chloroalkane conjugates for 2 h, and then stimulated with LPS (Sigma) at final concentration of 250 ng mL-1 for 24 h. Supernatants were analyzed for human TNFa secretion by ELISA (R&D systems). Results indicates inverse correlation between the length of the cleavable chloroalkane linker and its influence on BIRB796 potency. Only the longer linkers, CA-T4Z and CA-T4E, exhibited potency similar to non-cleavable linker CA-T1.

To interrogate the efficiency of palladium-catalyzed cleavage of these linkers, the release of a MAPK9, a known BIRB796 target, genetically fused to NANOLUC (NLuc) (NLuc: MAPK9) captured onto the HALOTAG beads was determined by two methods: i) SDS and ii) palladium-catalyzed cleavage (FIG. 33). Following a 2 hour treatment of cell lysate (from cells expressing the NLuc:MAPK9 fusion) with a final concentration of Ι μΜ BIRB796 chloroalkane conjugates, the conjugates and the bound NLuc:MAPK9 were captured onto HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (Promega Corporation). NLuc:MAPK9 was then released by treatment with either 1% SDS, 2mM palladium catalyst, or 0.66 mM palladium catalyst. Western analysis of the released proteins using an anti-NLuc antibody indicated significant release of NLuc:MAPK9 by SDS for all the tested linkers except of CA- T0, which is consistent with its lower binding kinetics to HALOTAG. Significant release of NLuc:MAPK9 by the palladium catalyst was detected only for the longer linkers.

Taken together, these results demonstrate that the incorporation of the allyl carbamate linkage into the longer chloroalkane linkers enabled efficient palladium-catalyzed cleavage while displaying minimal interference on cell permeability and binding kinetics to HALOTAG.

Example 25 The following example demonstrates the advantage of palladium-catalyzed elution over competitive elution for the enrichment of targets for compounds exhibiting prolonged residence time. Following a 2.5 hour treatment of THP-1 cells with a final concentration of 20 μΜ BIRB796-CA-T1 and BIRB796-CA-T4E (control cells remained untreated), cells were lysed, and the chloroalkane conjugates together with their bound targets were captured onto HALOTAG coated magnetic beads (Promega Corporation). Targets were then released by either 400 μΜ BIRB796 or 6 mM palladium catalyst and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis (FIG. 34). Mass spectrometry analysis indicated higher enrichment of endogenous targets by the palladium catalyzed elution.

Example 26

The following example demonstrates the contribution of carbamate groups to the features of the cleavable chloroalkane linker. CA-T4E contains 4 carbamate groups, one of them essential for rapid binding kinetics to HALOTAG. Two additional linkers were generated, one where the three other carbamates were replaced with amides, and the other where the two allyl carbamate groups were replaced with allyl ether linkages. All three linkers were conjugated to ponatinib (FIG. 35): Ponatinib-CA-T4E (6142), ponatinib-tri- amide (S83), and ponatinib all-PEG (SL_0729). The linkers were compared for their influence on binding to HALOTAG and ABL1 in biochemical and cellular assays. All three linkers exhibited similar binding kinetics to HALOTAG in lysate and comparable inhibition of purified ABL1 indicating the change to amides or PEG had no influence on binding to either protein (FIG. 36). In cellular assays, amides reduced binding kinetics to intracellular HALOTAG and decreased ponatinib potency by 20-fold relative to CA-T4E and all PEG linkers implying substantial impact on cell permeability (FIG. 36B and FIG. 36D). These results suggest carbamates contribute to the minimal influence of CA-T4E on cell permeability.
