Advanced Fluorescent Polymer Probes for the Site-Specific Labeling of Proteins in Live Cells Using the HaloTag Technology

Abstract

We report the site-specific and covalent bioconjugation of fluorescent polymer chains to proteins in live cells using the HaloTag technology. Polymer chains bearing a Halo-ligand precisely located at their α-chain-end were synthesized in a controlled manner owing to the RAFT polymerization process. They were labeled in lateral position by several organic fluorophores such as AlexaFluor 647. The resulting Haloligand polymer probe was finally shown to selectively recognize and label HaloTag proteins present at the membrane of live cells using confocal fluorescence microscopy. Such a polymer bioconjugation approach holds great promises for various applications ranging from cell imaging to cell surface functionalization.
