Proximity labeling-based proteomics (proximity proteomics) has emerged as a popular and versatile approach to illuminate the molecular interactions between viruses and their hosts. In this approach, a proximity labeling enzyme tag is fused to a bait protein and labels neighboring proteins with a chemical handle such as biotin, allowing for downstream affinity purification. Compared to another widely used technique, affinity purification coupled mass spectrometry, proximity proteomics enables the detection of low affinity or transient interactors that might have important functions in the viral life cycle. Further, proximity proteomics can identify interactors of a labile bait protein, of which affinity purification is technically challenging. Here, we describe a proximity proteomic protocol to identify cellular interactors of the Ebola virus polymerase. A similar strategy is readily applicable to elucidate the virus-host interactions for Marburg virus.
