Extending the Affinity Range of Weak Affinity Chromatography for The Identification of Weak Ligands Targeting Membrane Proteins

Résumé

The identification of weak-affinity ligands targeting membrane proteins is of great interest in Fragment-Based Drug Design (FBDD). Recently, miniaturized weak affinity chromatography (WAC) has been proposed as a valuable tool to study interactions between small ligands and wild-type membrane proteins embedded in so-called nanodisc biomimetic membranes immobilized on GMA-co-EDMA monoliths in situ-synthesized in capillary columns (less than one microliter in volume). In this proof-of-concept study, the achievable affinity range was limited to medium affinity (low micromolar range). The present work investigates different strategies to extend the affinity range towards low affinities, either by increasing the density of membrane proteins on the chromatographic support or by reducing non-specific interactions with the monolith. The combination of the use of a new and more hydrophilic monolithic support (poly(DHPMA-co-MBA)) and a multilayer nanodisc grafting process (up to three layers) allows a significant increase in the membrane protein density by a more than threefold factor (up to 5.4 pmol cm −1). Such an increase in protein density associated with reduced non-specific interactions makes it possible to extend the range of detectable affinity, as demonstrated by the identification and characterization of affinities of very low-affinity ligands (Kd values of several hundred micromolar) for the adenosine receptor AA2AR used as a model protein, which was not possible before. The affinity was confirmed by competition experiments.
