In recent years, MS has been widely used to study protein complex in eukaryotes. The identification of interacting proteins of a particular target protein may help defining protein-protein interaction and proteins of unknown functions. To isolate protein complexes, high-speed ultracentrifugation, sucrose density-gradient centrifugation, and coimmunoprecipitation have been widely used. However, the probability of getting nonspecific binding is comparatively high. Alternatively, by use of one- or two-step (tandem affinity purification) epitope-tag affinity purification, protein complexes can be isolated by affinity or immunoaffinity columns. These epitope-tags include protein A, hexahistidine (His), c-Myc, hemaglutinin (HA), calmodulin-binding protein, FLAG, maltose-binding protein, Strep, etc. The isolated protein complex can then be subjected to protease (i.e., trypsin) digestion followed by an MS analysis for protein identification. An example, the epitope-tag purification of the Arabidopsis cytosolic ribosomes, is addressed in this article to show the success of the application. Several representative protein complexes in eukaryotes been isolated and characterized by use of this approach are listed. In this review, the comparison among different tag systems, validation of interacting relationship, and choices of MS analysis method are addressed. The successful rate, advantages, limitations, and challenges of the epitope-tag purification are also discussed. 相似文献

Purification of low-abundance plasma-membrane (PM) protein complexes is a challenging task. We devised a tandem affinity purification tag termed the HPB tag, which contains the biotin carboxyl carrier protein domain (BCCD) of Arabidopsis 3-methylcrotonal CoA carboxylase. The BCCD is biotinylated in vivo , and the tagged protein can be captured by streptavidin beads. All five C-terminally tagged Arabidopsis proteins tested, including four PM proteins, were functional and biotinylated with high efficiency in Arabidopsis. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing an HPB-tagged protein, RPS2::HPB, were used to develop a method to purify protein complexes containing the HPB-tagged protein. RPS2 is a membrane-associated disease resistance protein of low abundance. The purification method involves microsomal fractionation, chemical cross-linking, solubilization, and one-step affinity purification using magnetic streptavidin beads, followed by protein identification using LC-MS/MS. We identified RIN4, a known RPS2 interactor, as well as other potential components of the RPS2 complex(es). Thus, the HPB tag method is suitable for the purification of low-abundance PM protein complexes. 相似文献

Isolation and dissection of native multiprotein complexes is a central theme in functional genomics. The development of the tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag has enabled an efficient and large-scale purification of native protein complexes. However, the TAP tag features a size of 21 kDa and requires time consuming cleavage. By combining a tandem Strep-tag II with a FLAG-tag we were able to reduce the size of the TAP (SF-TAP) tag to 4.6 kDa. Both moieties have a medium affinity and avidity to their immobilised binding partners. This allows the elution of SF-tagged proteins under native conditions using desthiobiotin in the first step and the FLAG octapeptide in the second step. The SF-TAP protocol represents an efficient, fast and straightforward purification of protein complexes from mammalian cells within 2.5 h. The power of this novel method is demonstrated by the purification of Raf associated protein complexes from HEK293 cells and subsequent analysis of their protein interaction network by dissection of interaction patterns from the Raf binding partners MEK1 and 14-3-3. 相似文献

We have developed a novel automated system to analyze protein complexes by integrating a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor with highly sensitive nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A His-tagged protein, which is also tagged with FLAG and biotinylated sequences, was expressed in mammalian cells. After purification by using the His tag from the cell lysate, the sample protein mixture was applied to an SPR biosensor and the protein complex was captured on the sensor chip. The automated SPR-LC-MS/MS was then performed: (1) two-step on-chip purification of the protein complex by using the FLAG and the biotinylated tags, (2) on-chip protease digestion of the complex, and (3) online nanoflow LC-MS/MS analysis of the resulting peptide fragments for protein identification. All of these processes could be monitored in real-time by the SPR biosensor. We validated the performance of the system using either FK506-binding protein 52 kDa (FKBP52) or ribosomal protein S19 (rpS19) as bait. Thus, the fully automated SPR-LC-MS/MS system appeared to be a powerful tool for functional proteomics studies, particularly for snapshot analysis of functional cellular complexes and machines. 相似文献

Tandem affinity purification (TAP) is a generic approach for the purification of protein complexes. The key advantage of TAP is the engineering of dual affinity tags that, when attached to the protein of interest, allow purification of the target protein along with its binding partners through two consecutive purification steps. The tandem tag used in the original method consists of two IgG‐binding units of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus (ProtA) and the calmodulin‐binding peptide (CBP), and it allows for recovery of 20–30% of the bait protein in yeast. When applied to higher eukaryotes, however, this classical TAP tag suffers from low yields. To improve protein recovery in systems other than yeast, we describe herein the development of a three‐tag system comprised of CBP, streptavidin‐binding peptide (SBP) and hexa‐histidine. We illustrate the application of this approach for the purification of human Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), which results in highly efficient binding and elution of bait protein in both purification steps (>50% recovery). Combined with mass spectrometry for protein identification, this TAP strategy facilitated the first nonbiased analysis of Btk interacting proteins. The high efficiency of the SBP‐His6 purification allows for efficient recovery of protein complexes formed with a target protein of interest from a small amount of starting material, enhancing the ability to detect low abundance and transient interactions in eukaryotic cell systems. 相似文献

A generic protein purification method for protein complex characterization and proteome exploration. 总被引:50,自引:0,他引:50
We have developed a generic procedure to purify proteins expressed at their natural level under native conditions using a novel tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag. The TAP tag allows the rapid purification of complexes from a relatively small number of cells without prior knowledge of the complex composition, activity, or function. Combined with mass spectrometry, the TAP strategy allows for the identification of proteins interacting with a given target protein. The TAP method has been tested in yeast but should be applicable to other cells or organisms. 相似文献

The tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag technique has been used with success to identify under nondenaturing conditions protein complexes in yeast. The technique can be used in mammalian cells, but we found that the original technique does not yield enough recovery for the identification of proteins when mammalian cells growing in monolayer have to be used. We present here a modified TAP tag technique that allows sufficient recovery of proteins from mouse fibroblasts growing in monolayer cultures. The recovery allows protein identification by mass spectrometry. 相似文献

Tandem affinity purification (TAP) is a methodology for the isolation of protein complexes from endogenous sources. It involves
incorporation of a dual-affinity tag into the protein of interest and introduction of the construct into desired cell lines
or organisms. Using the two affinity handles, the protein complex assembled under physiological conditions, which contains
the tagged target protein and its interacting partners, can be isolated by a sequential purification scheme. Compared with
single-step purification, TAP greatly reduces non-specific background and isolates protein complexes with higher purity. TAP-based
protein retrieval plus mass spectrometry-based analysis has become a standard approach for identification and characterization
of multi-protein complexes. The present article gives an overview of the TAP method, with a focus on its key feature—the dual-affinity
tag. In addition, the application of this technology in various systems is briefly discussed. 相似文献

The identification of interaction partners in protein complexes is a major goal in cell biology. Here we present a reliable affinity purification strategy to identify specific interactors that combines quantitative SILAC-based mass spectrometry with characterization of common contaminants binding to affinity matrices (bead proteomes). This strategy can be applied to affinity purification of either tagged fusion protein complexes or endogenous protein complexes, illustrated here using the well-characterized SMN complex as a model. GFP is used as the tag of choice because it shows minimal nonspecific binding to mammalian cell proteins, can be quantitatively depleted from cell extracts, and allows the integration of biochemical protein interaction data with in vivo measurements using fluorescence microscopy. Proteins binding nonspecifically to the most commonly used affinity matrices were determined using quantitative mass spectrometry, revealing important differences that affect experimental design. These data provide a specificity filter to distinguish specific protein binding partners in both quantitative and nonquantitative pull-down and immunoprecipitation experiments. 相似文献

A conventional affinity protein purification system often requires a separate protease to separate the target protein from the affinity tag. This paper describes a unique protein purification system in which the target protein is fused to the C-terminus of a modified protein splicing element (intein). A small affinity tag is inserted in a loop region of the endonuclease domain of the intein to allow affinity purification. Specific mutations at the C-terminal splice junction of the intein allow controllable C-terminal peptide bond cleavage. The cleavage is triggered by addition of thiols such as dithiothreitol or free cysteine, resulting in elution of the target protein while the affinity-tagged intein remains immobilized on the affinity column. This system eliminates the need for a separate protease and allows purification of a target protein without the N-terminal methionine. We have constructed general cloning vectors and demonstrated single-column purification of several proteins. In addition, we discuss several factors that may affect the C-terminal peptide bond cleavage activity. 相似文献

Immune complexome analysis is a method for identifying and profiling of antigens in circulating immune complexes (CICs); it involves separation of immune complexes from serum, direct tryptic digestion of these complexes, and protein analysis via nano-liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC–MS/MS). To improve this method, we initially investigated the effects of two factors—the gradient elution program and nano-LC column type (C18-packed, C8-packed, or packed spray capillary column)—on the numbers of peptides and proteins identified. Longer gradient elution times resulted in higher identification capability throughout the range of 25–400 min. Moreover, the packed spray capillary column supported identification of more peptides and proteins than did any other column. In addition, microwave-assisted digestion was compared with conventional digestion, which involved incubation overnight at 37 °C. Microwave-assisted digestion produced more partially digested peptides than did conventional digestion. However, the percentages of miscleaved peptides in all of the identified peptides in microwave-assisted digestion of immune complexes (a protein mixture) were lower than those in the physical stimulation-assisted digestion of a model protein. Microwave-assisted digestion is slightly inferior to, or as effective as, conventional digestion, but it drastically reduces the digestion time. 相似文献

The identification of modular units of cellular function is a major goal for proteomic research. Protein complexes represent important building blocks defining functionality and deciphering their composition remains a major challenge. Here, we have designed a new tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag (termed S3S‐tag) for the isolation of protein complexes. Specifically, the immune cell protein ADAP that regulates integrin adhesion was fused either C‐ or N‐terminally to the S3S‐tag. After retroviral transduction of a vector containing S3S‐tagged ADAP and internal ribosomal entry site encoded enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP), Jurkat T cells were sorted according to eGFP expression and further selected for expression of TAP‐tagged protein close to endogenous levels. The combination of a cleavable S‐tag and a Strep‐tag II allowed for the isolation of ADAP and associated proteins. Subsequently, stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture‐based mass spectrometric analysis was performed to identify potentially specific interaction partners. Co‐purification of the known interaction partner Src kinase‐associated phosphoprotein of 55 kDa indicates the validity of our approach, while the identification of the ENA/VASP family member EVL, the guanine nucleotide exchange factor GEF‐H1 and the adaptor protein DOCK2 corroborates a link between ADAP‐mediated integrin regulation and the cytoskeleton. 相似文献

The identification and validation of the targets of active compounds identified in cell-based assays is an important step in preclinical drug development. New analytical approaches that combine drug affinity pull-down assays with mass spectrometry (MS) could lead to the identification of new targets and druggable pathways. In this work, we investigate a drug-target system consisting of ampicillin- and penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) to evaluate and compare different amino-reactive resins for the immobilization of the affinity compound and mass spectrometric methods to identify proteins from drug affinity pull-down assays. First, ampicillin was immobilized onto various amino-reactive resins, which were compared in the ampicillin-PBP model with respect to their nonspecific binding of proteins from an Escherichia coli membrane extract. Dynal M-270 magnetic beads were chosen to further study the system as a model for capturing and identifying the targets of ampicillin, PBPs that were specifically and covalently bound to the immobilized ampicillin. The PBPs were identified, after in situ digestion of proteins bound to ampicillin directly on the beads, by using either one-dimensional (1-D) or two-dimensional (2-D) liquid chromatography (LC) separation techniques followed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis. Alternatively, an elution with N-lauroylsarcosine (sarcosyl) from the ampicillin beads followed by in situ digestion and 2-D LC-MS/MS analysis identified proteins potentially interacting noncovalently with the PBPs or the ampicillin. The in situ approach required only little time, resources, and sample for the analysis. The combination of drug affinity pull-down assays with in situ digestion and 2-D LC-MS/MS analysis is a useful tool in obtaining complex information about a primary drug target as well as its protein interactors. 相似文献

Recombinant protein purification using IMAC is often carried out by protein fusion to affinity tags. We have identified several tags useful for protein purification on Zn(II)-IDA columns. These tags were fused to the green fluorescent protein (rGFPuv) using the vector pGFPuv distributed by Clontech Lab (Palo Alto, CA) and analyzed for purification on Zn(II)-IDA. Each fusion protein exhibited elution heterogeneity (elution in two distinct pHs) from Zn(II)-IDA columns This led us to believe that two populations of fluorescent proteins were being expressed: one without the tag coeluting with Escherichia coli proteins at pH 7.5 and one bearing the tag eluting at a pH lower than pH 7.5. Assessment of the constructs revealed the possibility of a ribosomal binding site and start codon between the fusion tag and the rGFPuv sequence which might be used as a secondary translation start site. This hypothesis was confirmed by changing the second ATG (methionine) codon to an ACG (threonine) codon. The protein produced from this new construct eluted in a single fraction from a Zn(II)-IDA column. Thus, vector irregularities (along with other possibilities) should be examined when searching for the cause of elution heterogeneity of a target protein. 相似文献

Affinity tags are often used to accomplish recombinant protein purification using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Success of the tag depends on the chelated metal used and the elution profile of the host cell proteins. Zn(II)-iminodiacetic acid (Zn(II)-IDA) may prove to be superior to either immobilized copper or nickel as a result of its relatively low binding affinity for cellular proteins. For example, almost all Escherichia coli proteins elute from Zn(II)-IDA columns between pH 7.5 and 7.0 with very little cellular protein emerging at pH values lower than 7.0. Thus, a large portion of the Zn(II)-IDA elution profile may be free of contaminant proteins, which can be exploited for one-step purification of a target protein from raw cell extract. In this paper we have identified several fusion tags that can direct the elution of the target protein to the low background region of the Zn(II)-IDA elution profile. These tags allow targeting of proteins to different regions of the elution profile, facilitating purification under mild conditions. 相似文献

Purification of MAP–kinase protein complexes and identification of candidate components by XL–TAP–MS

The purification of low-abundance protein complexes and detection of in vivo protein–protein interactions in complex biological samples remains a challenging task. Here, we devised crosslinking and tandem affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry (XL–TAP–MS), a quantitative proteomics approach for analyzing tandem affinity-purified, crosslinked protein complexes from plant tissues. We exemplarily applied XL–TAP–MS to study the MKK2–Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK4) signaling module in Arabidopsis thaliana. A tandem affinity tag consisting of an in vivo-biotinylated protein domain flanked by two hexahistidine sequences was adopted to allow for the affinity-based isolation of formaldehyde–crosslinked protein complexes under fully denaturing conditions. Combined with 15N stable isotopic labeling and tandem MS we captured and identified a total of 107 MKK2–MPK4 module-interacting proteins. Consistent with the role of the MPK signaling module in plant immunity, many of the module-interacting proteins are involved in the biotic and abiotic stress response of Arabidopsis. Validation of binary protein–protein interactions by in planta split-luciferase assays and in vitro kinase assays disclosed several direct phosphorylation targets of MPK4. Together, the XL–TAP–MS approach purifies low abundance protein complexes from biological samples and discovers previously unknown protein–protein interactions.XL–TAP–MS: a novel technique that allows purification of crosslinked, low abundant protein complexes from plant tissues under denatured conditions and detection of in vivo protein–protein interactions. 相似文献

Identification of protein complexes is the key to understanding cellular functions. In this study, we present a novel method for the identification of multiprotein complexes from mammalian cells. By using the Strep-tag affinity chromatography method, enabling fast and simple one-step purification, coupled with competitive elution under physiological conditions, we successfully purified a PP2A holoenzyme protein complex from a cultured mammalian cancer cell line. We identified, by mass spectrometry, both known and novel interacting proteins for PP2A, and demonstrate that the purified PP2A complex is functional. The benefits and potential applications of the Strep-tag method for protein complex purification are discussed. 相似文献
