A TurboID-Based Protocol for Efficient Interacting Proteins Identification Using Proximity Tagging Technology
摘要
Understanding the dynamic protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is fundamental to deciphering cellular signaling pathways and biological processes. Traditional methods for identifying PPIs, such as yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation, often lack spatiotemporal resolution and may miss weak or transient interactions. Proximity-dependent biotinylation (PDB) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful technique to map the spatial proteome in living cells. Among various engineered biotin ligases, Turbidite-Identification (TurboID) stands out for its unprecedented catalytic efficiency, enabling rapid biotinylation of neighboring proteins within minutes. This chapter provides a detailed, step-by-step protocol for conducting a TurboID-based proximity labeling experiment to identify potential interacting proteins of a target protein of interest.
