Abstract
An NAD+ featuring an adenosyl 4'-azido functions as a general substrate for poly-ADP-ribose polymerases. Its derived mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylated proteins can be adequately recognized by distinct ADP-ribosylation-specific readers. This molecule represents the first ribose-functionalized NAD+ with versatile activities across different ADP-ribosyltransferases and provides insight into developing new probes for ADP-ribosylation.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases catalyze essential redox reactions, and many require a diffusible cofactor for electron transport, such as NAD(H). Non-canonical cofactor analogs have been explored as a means to create enzymatic reactions that operate orthogonally to existing metabolism. Here, we aimed to engineer the formate dehydrogenase from Candid boidinii (CbFDH) for activity with the non-canonical cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 3'-phosphate (3'-NADP(H)). We used PyRosetta, the Cofactor Specificity Reversal Structural Analysis and Library Design (CSR-SALAD), and structure-guided saturation mutagenesis to identify mutations that enable CbFDH to use 3'-NADP+. Two single mutants, D195A and D195G, had the highest activities with 3'-NADP+, while the double mutant D195G/Y196S exhibited the highest cofactor selectivity reversal behavior. Steady state kinetic analyses were performed; the D195A mutant exhibited the highest KTS value with 3'-NADP+. This work compares the utility of computational approaches for cofactor specificity engineering while demonstrating the engineering of an important enzyme for novel non-canonical cofactor selectivity.

Abstract
There is currently considerable interest in the intensification of biocatalytic processes to reduce the cost of goods for biocatalytically produced chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and advanced pharmaceutical intermediates. Continuous-flow biocatalysis shows considerable promise as a method for process intensification; however, the reliance of some reactions on the use of diffusible cofactors (such as the nicotinamide cofactors) has proven to be a technical barrier for key enzyme classes. This minireview covers attempts to overcome this limitation, including the cofactor recapture and recycling retention of chemically modified cofactors. For the latter, we also consider the state of science for cofactor modification, a field reinvigorated by the current interest in continuous-flow biocatalysis.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is a molecular scaffold that aids in the formation of DNA repair protein complexes. Tools to sensitively quantify PAR in live cells have been lacking. We recently described the LivePAR probe (EGFP fused to the RNF146-encoded WWE PAR binding domain) to measure PAR formation at sites of laser micro-irradiation in live cells. Here, we present two methods that expand on the use of LivePAR and its WWE domain. First, LivePAR enriches in the nucleus of cells following genotoxic challenge. Image quantitation can identify single-cell PAR formation following genotoxic stress at concentrations lower than PAR ELISA or PAR immunoblot, with greater sensitivity to genotoxic stress than CometChip. In a second approach, we used the RNF146-encoded WWE domain to develop a split luciferase probe for analysis in a 96-well plate assay. We then applied these PAR analysis tools to demonstrate their broad applicability. First, we show that both approaches can identify genetic modifications that alter PARylation levels, such as hyper-PARylation in BRCA2-deficient cancer cells. Second, we demonstrate the utility of the WWE split luciferase assay to characterize the cellular response of genotoxins, PARP inhibitors, and PARG inhibitors, thereby providing a screening method to identify PAR modulating compounds.

Abstract
Cofactors are required for almost half of all enzyme reactions, but their functions and binding partners are not fully understood even after decades of research. Functionalised cofactor mimics that bind in place of the unmodified cofactor can provide answers, as well as expand the scope of cofactor activity. Through chemical proteomics approaches such as activity-based protein profiling, the interactome and localisation of the native cofactor in its physiological environment can be deciphered and previously uncharacterised proteins annotated. Furthermore, cofactors that supply functional groups to substrate biomolecules can be hijacked by mimics to site-specifically label targets and unravel the complex biology of post-translational protein modification. The diverse activity of cofactors has inspired the design of mimics for use as inhibitors, antibiotic therapeutics, and chemo- and biosensors, and cofactor conjugates have enabled the generation of novel enzymes and artificial DNAzymes.

Abstract
Post‐translational modification (PTM) with ADP‐ribose and poly(ADP‐ribose) using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as substrate is involved in the regulation of numerous cellular pathways in eukaryotes, notably the response to DNA damage caused by cellular stress. Nevertheless, due to intrinsic properties of NAD+ e.g., high polarity and associated poor cell passage, these PTMs are difficult to characterize in cells. Here, two new NAD+ derivatives are presented, which carry either a fluorophore or an affinity tag and, in combination with developed methods for mild cell delivery, allow studies in living human cells. We show that this approach allows not only the imaging of ADP‐ribosylation in living cells but also the proteome‐wide analysis of cellular adaptation by protein ADP‐ribosylation as a consequence of environmental changes such as H2O2‐induced oxidative stress or the effect of the approved anti‐cancer drug olaparib. Our results therefore pave the way for further functional and clinical studies of the ADP‐ribosylated proteome in living cells in health and disease.

Abstract
Specific post-translational modification (PTM) states of a protein affect its property and function; understanding their dynamics in cells would provide deep insight into diverse signaling pathways and biological processes. However, it is not trivial to visualize post-translational modifications in a protein- and site-specific manner, especially in a living-cell context. Herein, we review recent advances in the development of molecular imaging tools to detect diverse classes of post-translational proteoforms in individual cells, and their applications in studying precise roles of PTMs in regulating the function of cellular proteins.

Abstract
Among various protein posttranslational modifiers, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a key player for regulating numerous cellular processes and events through enzymatic attachments of target proteins with ADP-ribose units donated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Human PARP1 is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of many diseases. PARP1 inhibitors have received approvals for cancer treatment. Despite these successes, our understanding about PARP1 remains limited, partially due to the presence of various ADP-ribosylation reactions catalyzed by other PARPs and their overlapped cellular functions. Here we report a synthetic NAD+ featuring an adenosyl 3′-azido substitution. Acting as an ADP-ribose donor with high activity and specificity for human PARP1, this compound enables labelling and profiling of possible protein substrates of endogenous PARP1. It provides a unique and valuable tool for studying PARP1 in biology and pathology and may shed light on the development of PARP isoform-specific modulators. An analogue of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) featuring an azido group at 3′-OH of adenosine moiety is found to possess high specificity for human PARP1-catalyzed protein poly-ADP-ribosylation.![]()

Abstract
The imaging of tumor-related multitarget molecules is of great significance to raise the diagnostic accuracy for malignant tumors. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has emerged as a potential clinical biomarker for tumor diagnosis due to its specific overexpression in cancer cells. High levels of H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment play vital roles in driving cancer progression. Inspired by these achievements, we employed a silver-coated gold nanorod (Au@Ag NR) as a plasmonic probe for dual imaging of intracellular PARP-1 and H2O2 under a dark-field microscope (DFM). Au@Ag NR was used not only to distinguish tumor cells from normal cells but also to induce the apoptosis of cancer cells owing to the etching of Ag shell by H2O2, accompanied by the color change from green to orange. On the other hand, Au@Ag NRs modified with active double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) could be utilized to image PARP-1 in cancer cells and quantitatively detect PARP-1 in vitro by naked eyes or DFM. The reason is that PARP-1 polymerized nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide (NAD+) into large and hyperbranched poly(ADP-ribose) polymer (PAR) on the surface of Au@Ag NRs, preventing the Ag shell from being etched by H2O2. As the PARP-1 activity increased, a blue-shift of the adsorption peak occurred along with a color change from pale pink to green, which could be recognized by naked eyes. Under DFM, its scattering light varied obviously from red to green. The proposed dual-imaging strategy holds good prospects in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) has been rapidly developed over the past 30 years and widely applied in biomedical engineering. Recent progress in fluorophore-dyed probe design has widened the application prospects of fluorescence. Because fluorescence lifetime is sensitive to microenvironments and molecule alterations, FLIM is promising for the detection of pathological conditions. Current cancer-related FLIM applications can be divided into three main categories: (i) FLIM with autofluorescence molecules in or out of a cell, especially with reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and flavin adenine dinucleotide for cellular metabolism research; (ii) FLIM with Förster resonance energy transfer for monitoring protein interactions; and (iii) FLIM with fluorophore-dyed probes for specific aberration detection. Advancements in nanomaterial production and efficient calculation systems, as well as novel cancer biomarker discoveries, have promoted FLIM optimization, offering more opportunities for medical research and applications to cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. This review summarizes cutting-edge researches from 2015 to 2020 on cancer-related FLIM applications and the potential of FLIM for future cancer diagnosis methods and anti-cancer therapy development. We also highlight current challenges and provide perspectives for further investigation.

Abstract
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a technique that uses highly selective active-site targeted chemical probes to label and monitor the state of proteins. ABPP integrates the strengths of both chemical and biological disciplines. By utilizing chemically synthesized or modified bioactive molecules, ABPP is able to reveal complex physiological and pathological enzyme-substrate interactions at molecular and cellular levels. It is also able to provide critical information of the catalytic activity changes of enzymes, annotate new functions of enzymes, discover new substrates of enzymes, and allow real-time monitoring of the cellular location of enzymes. Based on the mechanism of probe-enzyme interaction, two types of probes that have been used in ABPP are activity-based probes (ABPs) and affinity-based probes (AfBPs). This review highlights the recent advances in the use of ABPs and AfBPs, and summarizes their design strategies (based on inhibitors and substrates) and detection approaches.

Abstract
Protein poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) is a heterogeneous and dynamic post-translational modification regulated by various writers, readers, and erasers. It participates in a variety of biological events and is involved in many human diseases. Currently, tools and technologies have yet to be developed for unambiguously defining readers and erasers of individual PARylated proteins or cognate PARylated proteins for known readers and erasers. Here, we report the generation of a bifunctional nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) characterized by diazirine-modified adenine and clickable ribose. By serving as an excellent substrate for poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1)-catalyzed PARylation, the generated bifunctional NAD+ enables photo-cross-linking and enrichment of PARylation-dependent interacting proteins for proteomic identification. This bifunctional NAD+ provides an important tool for mapping cellular interaction networks centered on protein PARylation, which are essential for elucidating the roles of PARylation-based signals or activities in physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are essential to ensure timely and precise recruitment of chromatin remodellers and repair factors to DNA damage sites. Conventional analyses of protein-protein interactions at a population level may mask the complexity of interaction dynamics, highlighting the need for a method that enables quantification of DNA damage-dependent interactions at a single-cell level. To this end, we integrated a pulsed UV laser on a confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) microscope to induce localized DNA damage. To quantify protein-protein interactions in live cells, we measured Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between mEGFP- and mCherry-tagged proteins, based on the fluorescence lifetime reduction of the mEGFP donor protein. The UV-FLIM-FRET system offers a unique combination of real-time and single-cell quantification of DNA damage-dependent interactions, and can distinguish between direct protein-protein interactions, as opposed to those mediated by chromatin proximity. Using the UV-FLIM-FRET system, we show the dynamic changes in the interaction between poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1, amplified in liver cancer 1, X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 and tripartite motif containing 33 after DNA damage. This new set-up complements the toolset for studying DNA damage response by providing single-cell quantitative and dynamic information about protein-protein interactions at DNA damage sites.

PARP1 catalytic variants reveal branching and chain length-specific functions of poly(ADP-ribose) in cellular physiology and stress response. Nucleic Acids Res 2020; 48:10015-10033.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation regulates numerous cellular processes like genome maintenance and cell death, thus providing protective functions but also contributing to several pathological conditions. Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) molecules exhibit a remarkable heterogeneity in chain lengths and branching frequencies, but the biological significance of this is basically unknown. To unravel structure-specific functions of PAR, we used PARP1 mutants producing PAR of different qualities, i.e. short and hypobranched (PARP1\G972R), short and moderately hyperbranched (PARP1\Y986S), or strongly hyperbranched PAR (PARP1\Y986H). By reconstituting HeLa PARP1 knockout cells, we demonstrate that PARP1\G972R negatively affects cellular endpoints, such as viability, cell cycle progression and genotoxic stress resistance. In contrast, PARP1\Y986S elicits only mild effects, suggesting that PAR branching compensates for short polymer length. Interestingly, PARP1\Y986H exhibits moderate beneficial effects on cell physiology. Furthermore, different PARP1 mutants have distinct effects on molecular processes, such as gene expression and protein localization dynamics of PARP1 itself, and of its downstream factor XRCC1. Finally, the biological relevance of PAR branching is emphasized by the fact that branching frequencies vary considerably during different phases of the DNA damage-induced PARylation reaction and between different mouse tissues. Taken together, this study reveals that PAR branching and chain length essentially affect cellular functions, which further supports the notion of a ‘PAR code’.

Abstract
Poly-(ADP-ribosyl)-ation (PARylation) is a reversible post-translational modification of proteins and DNA that plays an important role in various cellular processes such as DNA damage response, replication, transcription, and cell death. Here we designed a fully genetically encoded fluorescent sensor for poly-(ADP-ribose) (PAR) based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The WWE domain, which recognizes iso-ADP-ribose internal PAR-specific structural unit, was used as a PAR-targeting module. The sensor consisted of cyan Turquoise2 and yellow Venus fluorescent proteins, each in fusion with the WWE domain of RNF146 E3 ubiquitin ligase protein. This bipartite sensor named sPARroW (sensor for PARrelying on WWE) enabled monitoring of PAR accumulation and depletion in live mammalian cells in response to different stimuli, namely hydrogen peroxide treatment, UV irradiation and hyperthermia.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), over expression in vast majority of cancer cells, is a potential biomarker for clinical diagnosis. However, very limited detection methods have been developed so far, especially for in situ intracellular imaging. Here, we developed a spectral-resolved single-particle detection method for detection of PARP-1 in vitro and in situ intracellular imaging with dark-field microscopy (DFM). A gold nanoparticle (50 nm) modified with active DNA duplex (Au50-dsDNA) was used as a scattering probe. Under the function of active dsDNA, PARP-1 catalyzed to synthesize the hyperbranched poly (ADP-ribose) polymer (PAR) by using nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide as substrates, forming Au50-dsDNA@PAR. Then, negatively charged PAR adsorbed positively charged AuNPs (8 nm) to form Au50-dsDNA@PAR@Au8. As a result, a notable red shift occurred in localized surface plasmon resonance scattering spectra of Au50, accompanying with obvious color change. Thus, PARP-1 has been detected with a linear range from 0.2 to 10 mU based on the scattering spectra change. The detection limit was 2 orders of magnitude lower than previously reported methods. Probes showed distinct different colors in cancer cells and normal cells, realizing in situ imaging of intracellular PARP-1 at a single-particle level. Compared with previously reported fluorescence imaging methods, the proposed strategy avoided sophisticated label procedures, which has great potential to be used for clinical diagnosis and PARP-1 inhibitor research.

Abstract
Post-translational modification of substrate proteins plays crucial roles in the regulation of their activity, cellular localization, and ability to be recognized by other proteins. One of those modifications involves the installment of adenosine-diphosphate-ribose (ADPr) onto nucleophilic side-chain groups of amino acid residues. This highly dynamic process is regulated by ADP-ribosyl transferases (ARTs) that install the ADPr-molecules on selected proteins and poly(ADP-ribosyl) glycohydrolases (PARGs) and (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolases (ARHs) that trim down and remove ADPr-chains. In this mini-review, the most recent advances in the chemical synthesis of ADPr-conjugates, poly-ADP-ribose, ADPr-peptides, and -proteins, and other tools to investigate ADPr-biology are discussed.

Abstract
We report on the design, synthesis and molecular modeling study of conjugates of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and morpholino nucleosides as potential selective inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases-1, 2 and 3. Sixteen dinucleoside pyrophosphates containing natural heterocyclic bases as well as 5-haloganeted pyrimidines, and mimicking a main substrate of these enzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-molecule, have been synthesized in a high yield. Morpholino nucleosides have been tethered to the β-phosphate of ADP via a phosphoester or phosphoramide bond. Screening of the inhibiting properties of these derivatives on the autopoly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of PARP-1 and PARP-2 has shown that the effect depends upon the type of nucleobase as well as on the linkage between ADP and morpholino nucleoside. The 5-iodination of uracil and the introduction of the P–N bond in NAD+-mimetics have shown to increase inhibition properties. Structural modeling suggested that the P–N bond can stabilize the pyrophosphate group in active conformation due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The most active NAD+ analog against PARP-1 contained 5-iodouracil 2ʹ-aminomethylmorpholino nucleoside with IC50 126 ± 6 μM, while in the case of PARP-2 it was adenine 2ʹ-aminomethylmorpholino nucleoside (IC50 63 ± 10 μM). In silico analysis revealed that thymine and uracil-based NAD+ analogs were recognized as the NAD+-analog that targets the nicotinamide binding site. On the contrary, the adenine 2ʹ-aminomethylmorpholino nucleoside-based NAD+ analogs were predicted to identify as PAR-analogs that target the acceptor binding site of PARP-2, representing a novel molecular mechanism for selective PARP inhibition. This discovery opens a new avenue for the rational design of PARP-1/2 specific inhibitors.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) serves as an essential redox co-factor and mediator of multiple biological processes. Besides its well-established role in electron transfer reactions, NAD serves as a substrate for other biotransformations, which, at the molecular level, can be classified as protein post-translational modifications (protein deacylation, mono-, and polyADP-ribosylation) and formation of signaling molecules (e.g., cyclic ADP ribose). These biochemical reactions control many crucial biological processes, such as cellular signaling and recognition, DNA repair and epigenetic modifications, stress response, immune response, aging and senescence, and many others. However, the links between the biological effects and underlying molecular processes are often poorly understood. Moreover, NAD has recently been found to tag the 5′-ends of some cellular RNAs, but the function of these NAD-capped RNAs remains largely unrevealed. Synthetic NAD analogs are invaluable molecular tools to detect, monitor, structurally investigate, and modulate activity of NAD-related enzymes and biological processes in order to aid their deeper understanding. Here, we review the recent advances in the design and development of NAD analogs as probes for various cellular NAD-related enzymes, enzymatic inhibitors with anticancer or antimicrobial therapeutic potential, and other NAD-related chemical biology tools. We focus on research papers published within the last 10 years.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent ADP-ribosylation plays important roles in physiology and pathophysiology. It has been challenging to study this key type of enzymatic post-translational modification in particular for protein poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation). Here we explore chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis of NAD+ analogues with ribose functionalized by terminal alkyne and azido groups. Our results demonstrate that azido substitution at 3'-OH of nicotinamide riboside enables enzymatic synthesis of an NAD+ analogue with high efficiency and yields. Notably, the generated 3'-azido NAD+ exhibits unexpected high activity and specificity for protein PARylation catalyzed by human poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) and PARP2. And its derived poly-ADP-ribose polymers show increased resistance to human poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase-mediated degradation. These unique properties lead to enhanced labeling of protein PARylation by 3'-azido NAD+ in the cellular contexts and facilitate direct visualization and labeling of mitochondrial protein PARylation. The 3'-azido NAD+ provides an important tool for studying cellular PARylation.

Sci Rep 2019; 9:6655. [PMID: 31040352 PMCID: PMC6491589 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-43154-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is integral to a diverse range of cellular processes such as DNA repair, chromatin regulation and RNA processing. However, proteome-wide investigation of its cellular functions has been limited due to numerous technical challenges including the complexity of the poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains, low abundance of the modification and lack of sensitive enrichment methods. We herein show that an adenosine analogue with a terminal alkyne functionality at position 2 of the adenine (2-alkyne adenosine or 2YnAd) is suitable for selective enrichment, fluorescence detection and mass spectrometry proteomics analysis of the candidate ADP-ribosylome in mammalian cells. Although similar labelling profiles were observed via fluorescence imaging for 2YnAd and 6YnAd, a previously reported clickable NAD+ precursor, quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of the two probes in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells revealed a significant increase in protein coverage of the 2YnAd probe. To facilitate global enrichment of ADP-ribosylated proteins, we developed a dual metabolic labelling approach that involves simultaneous treatment of live cells with both 2YnAd and 6YnAd. By combining this dual metabolic labelling strategy with highly sensitive tandem mass tag (TMT) isobaric mass spectrometry and hierarchical Bayesian analysis, we have quantified the responses of thousands of endogenous proteins to clinical PARP inhibitors Olaparib and Rucaparib.

Abstract
This chemoenzymatic procedure describes a strategy for the preparation of 4'-thioribose nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (S-NAD+ ), including chemical synthesis of nicotinamide 4'-riboside (S-NR), recombinant expression and purification of two NAD+ biosynthesis enzymes nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK) and nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT), and enzymatic synthesis of S-NAD+ . The first basic protocol describes the procedures for introduction of nicotinamide onto 4'-thioribose and subsequent deprotection to generate S-NR as the key intermediate for enzymatically synthesizing S-NAD+ . In the second basic protocol, experimental methods are detailed for the production of recombinant human NRK1 and NMNAT1 to catalyze conversion of S-NR to S-NAD+ . The third basic protocol presents the enzymatic approach for the generation of S-NAD+ from S-NR precursor. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is a dynamic posttranslational modification that is added and removed rapidly at sites of DNA damage. PARylation is important for numerous aspects of DNA repair including chromatin decondensation and protein recruitment. Visualization of PARylation levels after DNA damage induction is generally obtained using traditional immunofluorescent techniques on fixed cells, which results in limited temporal resolution. Here, we describe a microscopy-based method to track ADP-ribosylation at break sites. This method relies on DNA damage induction using a 405 nm FRAP laser on Hoechst-treated cells expressing GFP-tagged PAR-binding proteins, such as macrodomains where the recruitment of the PAR-binder to sites of DNA damage gives an indication of PARylation levels.

Abstract
Adenosine diphosphate-ribose (ADP-ribose) and its derivatives play important roles in a series of complex physiological procedures. The design and synthesis of artificial ADP-ribosylated compounds is an efficient way to develop valuable chemical biology tools and discover new drug candidates. However, the synthesis of ADP-ribosylated compounds is currently difficult due to structural complexity, easily broken pyrophosphate bond and high hydrophilicity. In this paper, ADP-ribosyl-N₃ was designed and synthesized for the first time. With ADP-ribosyl-N₃ as the key precursor, a divergent post-modification strategy was developed to prepare structurally diverse ADP-ribosylated compounds including novel nucleotides and peptides bearing ADP-ribosyl moieties.

Abstract
Posttranslational protein glycosylation is conserved in all kingdoms of life and implicated in the regulation of protein structure, function, and localization. The visualization of glycosylation states of designated proteins within living cells is of great importance for unraveling the biological roles of intracellular protein glycosylation. Our generally applicable approach is based on the incorporation of a glucosamine analog, Ac4GlcNCyoc, into the cellular glycome via metabolic engineering. Ac4GlcNCyoc can be labeled in a second step via inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder chemistry with fluorophores inside living cells. Additionally, target proteins can be expressed as enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-fusion proteins. To assess the proximity of the donor EGFP and the glycan-anchored acceptor fluorophore, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is employed and read out with high contrast by fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) microscopy. In this chapter, we present a detailed description of methods required to perform protein-specific imaging of glycosylation inside living cells. These include the complete synthesis of Ac4GlcNCyoc, immunoprecipitation of EGFP-fusion proteins to examine the Ac4GlcNCyoc modification state, and a complete section on basics, performance, as well as data analysis for FLIM-FRET microscopy. We also provide useful notes necessary for reproducibility and point out strengths and limitations of the approach.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyl transferases with diphtheria toxin homology (ARTDs) catalyse the covalent addition of ADP-ribose onto different acceptors forming mono- or poly(ADP-ribos)ylated proteins. Out of the 18 members identified, only four are known to synthesise the complex poly(ADP-ribose) biopolymer. The investigation of this posttranslational modification is important due to its involvement in cancer and other diseases. Lately, metabolic labelling approaches comprising different reporter-modified NAD+ building blocks have stimulated and enriched proteomic studies and imaging applications of ADP-ribosylation processes. Herein, we compare the substrate scope and applicability of different NAD+ analogues for the investigation of the polymer-synthesising enzymes ARTD1, ARTD2, ARTD5 and ARTD6. By varying the site and size of the NAD+ modification, suitable probes were identified for each enzyme. This report provides guidelines for choosing analogues for studying poly(ADP-ribose)-synthesising enzymes.
