SAHA-BPyne

This probe was found to target HDACs in proteomes, and was also capable of in vivo labeling. In addition, several HD AC-associated proteins were also labeled by SAHA-BPyne, indicating that these proteins are in close proximity to HDAC active sites and may regulate substrate recognition and activity [90]. For a more detailed survey of the appbcations of photoaffinity labeling as it applies to ABPP, the reader is directed to a review by Overkleeft et al. [91]... 

In the recent literature, many examples of A/BPs containing benzophenones can be found. A first example concerns the study of HDACs. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of acetylated lysine amine side chains in histones and are thus involved in the regulation of gene expression. There are approximately 20 human HDACs, which are divided into three classes (I, II, and III). Class I and II HDACs are zinc-dependent metallohydrolases that do not form a covalent bond with their substrates during their catalytic process, which is similar to MMPs. It has been found that hydroxamate 65 (SAHA, see Fig. 5) is a potent reversible inhibitor of class I and II HDACs. In 2007, Cravatt and coworkers reported the transformation of SAHA into an A/BP by installment of a benzophenone and an alkyne moiety, which resulted in SAHA-BPyne (66) [73]. They showed that the probe can be used for the covalent modification and enrichment of several class I and class II HDACs from complex proteomes in an activity-dependent manner. In addition, they identified several HDAC-associated proteins, possibly arising from the tight interaction with HDACs. Also, the probe was used to measure differences in HDAC content in human disease models. Later they reported the construction of a library of related probes and studied the differences in HDAC labeling [74], Their most...
