Noise regulatory proteins are key to understanding the dynamic regulation of cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression. Here, we present a protocol for identifying novel candidate proteins with noise regulatory functions. We describe steps for inhibiting translation in cells, performing single-cell RNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and utilizing known regulator-target interactions to integrate obtained data in a regulator enrichment analysis. This protocol has the potential to be applied in any cell line and under culture conditions of choice. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to García-Blay et al.1.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
