Protein methylation is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent protein methyltransferases (MTases), and this posttranslational modification serves diverse cellular functions. Some MTases seem to exhibit broad substrate specificities and comprehensive methods for target profiling are needed. Here we report the synthesis of a new AdoMet analogue for enzymatic transfer of a small propargyl group and labeling of modified proteins through copper-catalyzed azidealkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Replacement of sulfur by selenium strongly enhanced the stability of the progargylic cofactor, leading, in combination with better activation by the selenonium center, to higher enzymatic reactivity. A broad spectrum of wild-type protein MTases acting on lysine, arginine, and glutamine residues accept this cofactor and modified substrates can be efficiently labeled by CuAAC click chemistry.
