Abstract:
Protein clustering is a ubiquitous event in diverse cellular processes. Self-association of proteins triggers recruitment of downstream proteins to regulate cellular signaling. To investigate the interactions in detail, chemical biology tools to identify proteins recruited to defined assemblies are required. Here, we exploit an identification of proteins recruited in artificial granules (IPRAG) platform that combines intracellular Y15-based supramolecule construction with a proximity labeling method. We validated the IPRAG tool using Nck1 as a target bait protein. We constructed Nck1-tethering granules, labeled the recruited proteins with biotin, and analyzed them by LC-MS/MS. As a result, we successfully identified proteins that directly or indirectly interact with Nck1.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Protein Networks
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...
