This work features the use of amber suppression-mediated unnatural amino acid (UAA) incorporation into proteins for various imaging purposes. The site-specific incorporation of the UAA, p-azido-L-phenylalanine (pAzF), provides an azide handle that can be used to complete the strain promoted azide-alkyne click cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction to introduce an imaging modality such as a fluorophore or a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer on the protein of interest (POI). Such methodology can be pursued directly in mammalian cell lines or on proteins expressedin vitro, thereby conferring a homogeneous pool of protein conjugates. A general procedure for UAA incorporation to use with a site-specific protein labeling method is provided allowing forin vitroandin vivoimaging applications based on the representative proteins PTEN and PD-L1. This approach would help elucidate the cellular orin vivobiological activities of the POI.
