New ribozyme can make RNA molecules accessible for click chemistry in living cells

RNA molecules are real all-rounders. They transfer the genetic information from the DNA in the cell. They regulate the activity of genes. And some of them have a catalytic effect: just like enzymes, they enable biochemical reactions that would be difficult or impossible to occur on their own. These special RNA molecules that accelerate such reactions are called ribozymes.

Sahil Kamboj from our collaborator Ambroise Lambert’s lab showed us how @roylelab’s favourite tools can be used to develop probes to tackle key questions for understanding the #tumour microenvironment. The #clem + endocytosis hot-wiring in spheroids were amazing 🤩

It’s been a joy to follow my DTP colleague + friend Will Scott’s journey on using genetic code expansion + #clickchemistry to develop new tools for imaging #actin. I’m looking forward to seeing this probe in cells soon! #cellbiology

Science and Enterprise

Sorry to the reviewer who chose an arbitrary out-of-subject field (chemistry) while trying to argue against the significance of my sister's paper. You couldn't have known we were related, but I got to squee at her about click chemistry for 10 minutes to describe why tool development is important for future discovery.

Click and bio-orthogonal chemistry open new worlds

This 2021 article was shared by RSC chemical biology for #FluorescenceFriday:

Tbh I was not aware of click-based amplification techniques and this paper hasn't been cited yet or gained much attention otherwise.

The research this was based on has been applied only to nucleic acid imaging:
https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cbic.201700209

So the question is has anyone tried this? Does it work and is it useful?

Click-based amplification: designed to facilitate various target labelling modes with ultralow background amplification

We here describe a fluorescent signal amplification method termed “Click-based amplification” that can be well integrated with various click-labelling modes, including chemical labelling, genetic incorporation and covalent inhibitor probe mediated target labelling. Picolyl azide (pAz) was used as a functiona
