Abstract
The mammalian cell is a complex entity, with membrane-bound and membrane-less organelles playing vital roles in regulating cellular homeostasis. Organellar protein niches drive discrete biological processes and cell functions, thus maintaining cell equilibrium. Cellular processes such as signaling, growth, proliferation, motility, and programmed cell death require dynamic protein movements between cell compartments. Aberrant protein localization is associated with a wide range of diseases. Therefore, analyzing the subcellular proteome of the cell can provide a comprehensive overview of cellular biology. With recent advancements in mass spectrometry, imaging technology, computational tools, and deep machine learning algorithms, studies pertaining to subcellular protein localization and their dynamic distributions are gaining momentum. These studies reveal changing interaction networks because of "moonlighting proteins" and serve as a discovery tool for disease network mechanisms. Consequently, this review aims to provide a comprehensive repository for recent advancements in subcellular proteomics subcontexting methods, challenges, and future perspectives for method developers. In summary, subcellular proteomics is crucial to the understanding of the fundamental cellular mechanisms and the associated diseases.

Abstract
RNA localization is highly regulated, with subcellular organization driving context-dependent cell physiology. Although proximity-based labelling technologies that use highly reactive radicals or carbenes provide a powerful method for unbiased mapping of protein organization within a cell, methods for unbiased RNA mapping are scarce and comparably less robust. Here we develop α-alkoxy thioenol and chloroenol esters that function as potent acylating agents upon controlled ester unmasking. We pair these probes with subcellular-localized expression of a bioorthogonal esterase to establish a platform for spatial analysis of RNA: bioorthogonal acylating agents for proximity labelling and sequencing (BAP-seq). We demonstrate that, by selectively unmasking the enol probe in a locale of interest, we can map RNA distribution in membrane-bound and membrane-less organelles. The controlled-release acylating agent chemistry and corresponding BAP-seq method expand the scope of proximity labelling technologies and provide a powerful approach to interrogate the cellular organization of RNAs.

Abstract
Tauopathies represent a diverse group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the abnormal aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Despite extensive research, the precise mechanisms underlying the complexity of different types of tau pathology remain incompletely understood. Here we describe an approach for proteomic profiling of aggregate-associated proteomes on slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue that utilizes proximity labelling upon high preservation of aggregate morphology, which permits the profiling of pathological aggregates regardless of their size. To comprehensively investigate the common and unique protein interactors associated with the variety of tau lesions present across different human tauopathies, Alzheimer's disease (AD), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), Pick's disease (PiD), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), were selected to represent the major tauopathy diseases. Implementation of our widely applicable Probe-dependent Proximity Profiling (ProPPr) strategy, using the AT8 antibody, permitted identification and quantification of proteins associated with phospho-tau lesions in well-characterized human post-mortem tissue. The analysis revealed both common and disease-specific proteins associated with phospho-tau aggregates, highlighting potential targets for therapeutic intervention and biomarker development. Candidate validation through high-resolution co-immunofluorescence of distinct aggregates across disease and control cases, confirmed the association of retromer complex protein VPS35 with phospho-tau lesions across the studied tauopathies. Furthermore, we discovered disease-specific associations of proteins including ferritin light chain (FTL) and the neuropeptide precursor VGF within distinct pathological lesions. Notably, examination of FTL-positive microglia in CBD astrocytic plaques indicate a potential role for microglial involvement in the pathogenesis of these tau lesions. Our findings provide valuable insights into the proteomic landscape of tauopathies, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathology. This first comprehensive characterization of tau-associated proteomes across different tauopathies enhances our understanding of disease heterogeneity and provides a resource for future functional investigation, as well as development of targeted therapies and diagnostic biomarkers.

Mol Cell Proteomics 2024; 23:100702. [PMID: 38122900 PMCID: PMC10831774 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Estrogen receptor α (ERα) drives the transcription of genes involved in breast cancer (BC) progression, relying on coregulatory protein recruitment for its transcriptional and biological activities. Mutation of ERα as well as aberrant recruitment of its regulatory proteins contribute to tumor adaptation and drug resistance. Therefore, understanding the dynamic changes in ERα protein interaction networks is crucial for elucidating drug resistance mechanisms in BC. Despite progress in studying ERα-associated proteins, capturing subcellular transient interactions remains challenging and, as a result, significant number of important interactions remain undiscovered. In this study, we employed biotinylation by antibody recognition (BAR), an innovative antibody-based proximity labeling (PL) approach, coupled with mass spectrometry to investigate the ERα proximal proteome and its changes associated with resistance to aromatase inhibition, a key therapy used in the treatment of ERα-positive BC. We show that BAR successfully detected most of the known ERα interactors and mainly identified nuclear proteins, using either an epitope tag or endogenous antibody to target ERα. We further describe the ERα proximal proteome rewiring associated with resistance applying BAR to a panel of isogenic cell lines modeling tumor adaptation in the clinic. Interestingly, we find that ERα associates with some of the canonical cofactors in resistant cells and several proximal proteome changes are due to increased expression of ERα. Resistant models also show decreased levels of estrogen-regulated genes. Sensitive and resistant cells harboring a mutation in the ERα (Y537C) revealed a similar proximal proteome. We provide an ERα proximal protein network covering several novel ERα-proximal partners. These include proteins involved in highly dynamic processes such as sumoylation and ubiquitination difficult to detect with traditional protein interaction approaches. Overall, we present BAR as an effective approach to investigate the ERα proximal proteome in a spatial context and demonstrate its application in different experimental conditions.

Abstract
Methods to directly post-translationally modify proteins are perhaps the most straightforward and operationally simple ways to create and study protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, precisely altering or constructing the C-C scaffolds pervasive throughout biology is difficult with common two-electron chemical approaches. Recently, there has been a surge of new methods that have utilized single electron/radical chemistry applied to site-specifically "edit" proteins that have started to create this potential-one that in principle could be near free-ranging. This review provides an overview of current methods that install such "edits", including those that generate function and/or PTMs, through radical C-C bond formation (as well as C-X bond formation via C• where illustrative). These exploit selectivity for either native residues, or preinstalled noncanonical protein side-chains with superior radical generating or accepting abilities. Particular focus will be on the radical generation approach (on-protein or off-protein, use of light and photocatalysts), judging the compatibility of conditions with proteins and cells, and novel chemical biology applications afforded by these methods. While there are still many technical hurdles, radical C-C bond formation on proteins is a promising and rapidly growing area in chemical biology with long-term potential for biological editing.

Abstract
Throughout biology, RNA molecules form complex networks of molecular interactions that are central to their function, but remain challenging to investigate. Here, we introduce Oligonucleotide-mediated proximity-interactome MAPping (O-MAP), a straightforward method for elucidating the biomolecules near an RNA of interest, within its native cellular context. O-MAP uses programmable oligonucleotide probes to deliver proximity-biotinylating enzymes to a target RNA, enabling nearby molecules to be enriched by streptavidin pulldown. O-MAP induces exceptionally precise RNA-localized in situ biotinylation, and unlike alternative methods it enables straightforward optimization of its targeting accuracy. Using the 47S pre-ribosomal RNA and long noncoding RNA Xist as models, we develop O-MAP workflows for unbiased discovery of RNA-proximal proteins, transcripts, and genomic loci. This revealed unexpected co-compartmentalization of Xist and other chromatin-regulatory RNAs and enabled systematic characterization of nucleolar-chromatin interactions across multiple cell lines. O-MAP is portable to cultured cells, organoids, and tissues, and to RNAs of various lengths, abundances, and sequence composition. And, O-MAP requires no genetic manipulation and uses exclusively off-the-shelf parts. We therefore anticipate its application to a broad array of RNA phenomena.

Abstract
Cellular biomolecular complexes including protein-protein, protein-RNA, and protein-DNA interactions regulate and execute most biological functions. In particular in brain, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) mediate or regulate virtually all nerve cell functions, such as neurotransmission, cell-cell communication, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Perturbations of PPIs in specific subsets of neurons and glia are thought to underly a majority of neurobiological disorders. Therefore, understanding biological functions at a cellular level requires a reasonably complete catalog of all physical interactions between proteins. An enzyme-catalyzed method to biotinylate proximal interacting proteins within 10 to 300 nm of each other is being increasingly used to characterize the spatiotemporal features of complex PPIs in brain. Thus, proximity labeling has emerged recently as a powerful tool to identify proteomes in distinct cell types in brain as well as proteomes and PPIs in structures difficult to isolate, such as the synaptic cleft, axonal projections, or astrocyte-neuron junctions. In this review, we summarize recent advances in proximity labeling methods and their application to neurobiology.

Abstract
The collection of exposed plasma membrane proteins, collectively termed the surfaceome, is involved in multiple vital cellular processes, such as the communication of cells with their surroundings and the regulation of transport across the lipid bilayer. The surfaceome also plays key roles in the immune system by recognizing and presenting antigens, with its possible malfunctioning linked to disease. Surface proteins have long been explored as potential cell markers, disease biomarkers, and therapeutic drug targets. Despite its importance, a detailed study of the surfaceome continues to pose major challenges for mass spectrometry-driven proteomics due to the inherent biophysical characteristics of surface proteins. Their inefficient extraction from hydrophobic membranes to an aqueous medium and their lower abundance compared to intracellular proteins hamper the analysis of surface proteins, which are therefore usually underrepresented in proteomic datasets. To tackle such problems, several innovative analytical methodologies have been developed. This review aims at providing an extensive overview of the different methods for surfaceome analysis, with respective considerations for downstream mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Abstract
Cell surface proteins (CSPs) are vital molecular mediators for cells and their extracellular environment. Thus, understanding which CSPs are displayed on cells, especially in different cell states, remains an important endeavor in cell biology. Here, we describe the integration of cell surface engineering with radical-mediated protein biotinylation to profile CSPs. This method relies on the prefunctionalization of cells with cholesterol lipid groups, followed by sortase-catalyzed conjugation with an APEX2 ascorbate peroxidase enzyme. In the presence of biotin-phenol and H2O2, APEX2 catalyzes the formation of highly reactive biotinyl radicals that covalently tag electron-rich residues within CSPs for subsequent streptavidin-based enrichment and analysis by quantitative mass spectrometry. While APEX2 is traditionally used to capture proximity-based interactomes, we envisioned using it in a "baitless" manner on cell surfaces to capture CSPs. We evaluate this strategy in light of another CSP labeling method that relies on the presence of cell surface sialic acid. Using the APEX2 strategy, we describe the CSPs found in three mammalian cell lines and compare CSPs in adherent versus three-dimensional pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells.

Abstract
Characterization of cell surface proteome differences between cancer and healthy cells is a valuable approach for the identification of novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets. However, selective sampling of surface proteins for proteomics requires large samples (>10e6 cells) and long labeling times. These limitations preclude analysis of material-limited biological samples or the capture of rapid surface proteomic changes. Here, we present two labeling approaches to tether exogenous peroxidases (APEX2 and HRP) directly to cells, enabling rapid, small-scale cell surface biotinylation without the need to engineer cells. We used a novel lipidated DNA-tethered APEX2 (DNA-APEX2), which upon addition to cells promoted cell agnostic membrane-proximal labeling. Alternatively, we employed horseradish peroxidase (HRP) fused to the glycan-binding domain of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA-HRP). This approach yielded a rapid and commercially inexpensive means to directly label cells containing common N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and sialic acid glycans on their surface. The facile WGA-HRP method permitted high surface coverage of cellular samples and enabled the first comparative surface proteome characterization of cells and cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (EVs), leading to the robust quantification of 953 cell and EV surface annotated proteins. We identified a newly recognized subset of EV-enriched markers, as well as proteins that are uniquely upregulated on Myc oncogene-transformed prostate cancer EVs. These two cell-tethered enzyme surface biotinylation approaches are highly advantageous for rapidly and directly labeling surface proteins across a range of material-limited sample types.

Abstract
Cellular processes rely on the intimate interplay of different molecules, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. Obtaining and integrating data on their abundance and dynamics at high temporal and spatial resolution are essential for our understanding of plant growth and development. In the past decade, enzymatic proximity labeling (PL) has emerged as a powerful tool to study local protein and nucleotide ensembles, discover protein-protein and protein-nucleotide interactions, and resolve questions about protein localization and membrane topology. An ever-growing number and continuous improvement of enzymes and methods keep broadening the spectrum of possible applications for PL and make it more accessible to different organisms, including plants. While initial PL experiments in plants required high expression levels and long labeling times, recently developed faster enzymes now enable PL of proteins on a cell type-specific level, even with low-abundant baits, and in different plant species. Moreover, expanding the use of PL for additional purposes, such as identification of locus-specific gene regulators or high-resolution electron microscopy may now be in reach. In this review, we give an overview of currently available PL enzymes and their applications in mammalian cell culture and plants. We discuss the challenges and limitations of PL methods and highlight open questions and possible future directions for PL in plants.

Abstract
Rapidly changing and transient protein-protein interactions regulate dynamic cellular processes in the cardiovascular system. Traditional methods, including affinity purification and mass spectrometry, have revealed many macromolecular complexes in cardiomyocytes and the vasculature. Yet these methods often fail to identify in vivo or transient protein-protein interactions. To capture these interactions in living cells and animals with subsequent mass spectrometry identification, enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling techniques have been developed in the past decade. Although the application of this methodology to cardiovascular research is still in its infancy, the field is developing rapidly, and the promise is substantial. In this review, we outline important concepts and discuss how proximity proteomics has been applied to study physiological and pathophysiological processes relevant to the cardiovascular system.

[PMID: 35015072 PMCID: PMC8883493 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20210313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The ability of the cellular immune system to discriminate self from foreign antigens depends on the appropriate calibration of the T cell receptor (TCR) signalling threshold. The lymphocyte homeostatic cytokine interleukin 7 (IL-7) is known to affect TCR thresholding, but the molecular mechanism is not fully elucidated. A better understanding of this process is highly relevant in the context of autoimmune disease therapy and cancer immunotherapy. We sought to characterise the early signalling events attributable to IL-7 priming; in particular, the altered phosphorylation of signal transduction proteins and their molecular localisation to the TCR. By integrating high-resolution proximity- phospho-proteomic and imaging approaches using primary T cells, rather than engineered cell lines or an in vitro expanded T cell population, we uncovered transduction events previously not linked to IL-7. We show that IL-7 leads to dephosphorylation of cytohesin interacting protein (CYTIP) at a hitherto undescribed phosphorylation site (pThr280) and alters the co-localisation of cytohesin-1 with the TCR and LFA-1 integrin. These results show that IL-7, acting via CYTIP and cytohesin-1, may impact TCR activation thresholds by enhancing the co-clustering of TCR and LFA-1 integrin.

Abstract
Spatial proteomics has provided important insights into the relationship between protein function and subcellular location. Localization of Organelle Proteins by Isotope Tagging (LOPIT) and its variants are proteome-wide techniques, not matched in scale by microscopy-based or proximity tagging-based techniques, allowing holistic mapping of protein subcellular location and re-localization events downstream of cellular perturbations. LOPIT can be a powerful and versatile tool in drug discovery for unlocking important information on disease pathophysiology, drug mechanism of action, and off-target toxicity screenings. Here, we discuss technical concepts of LOPIT with its potential applications in drug discovery and development research.

Abstract
In the last 10 years, proximity-dependent biotinylation (PDB) techniques greatly expanded the ability to study protein environments in the living cell that range from specific protein complexes to entire compartments. This is achieved by using enzymes such as BirA* and APEX that are fused to proteins of interest and biotinylate proteins in their proximity. PDB techniques are now also increasingly used in apicomplexan parasites. In this review, we first give an overview of the main PDB approaches and how they compare with other techniques that address similar questions. PDB is particularly valuable to detect weak or transient protein associations under physiological conditions and to study cellular structures that are difficult to purify or have a poorly understood protein composition. We also highlight new developments such as novel smaller or faster-acting enzyme variants and conditional PDB approaches, providing improvements in both temporal and spatial resolution which may offer broader application possibilities useful in apicomplexan research. In the second part, we review work using PDB techniques in apicomplexan parasites and how this expanded our knowledge about these medically important parasites.

Abstract
Chemically modified biomacromolecules-i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids-have become crucial tools in chemical biology. They are extensively used not only to elucidate cellular processes but also in industrial applications, particularly in the context of biopharmaceuticals. In order to enable maximum scope for optimization, it is pivotal to have a diverse array of biomacromolecule modification methods at one's disposal. Chemistry has driven many significant advances in this area, and especially recently, numerous novel visible-light-induced photochemical approaches have emerged. In these reactions, light serves as an external source of energy, enabling access to highly reactive intermediates under exceedingly mild conditions and with exquisite spatiotemporal control. While UV-induced transformations on biomacromolecules date back decades, visible light has the unmistakable advantage of being considerably more biocompatible, and a spectrum of visible-light-driven methods is now available, chiefly for proteins and nucleic acids. This review will discuss modifications of native functional groups (FGs), including functionalization, labeling, and cross-linking techniques as well as the utility of oxidative degradation mediated by photochemically generated reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, transformations at non-native, bioorthogonal FGs on biomacromolecules will be addressed, including photoclick chemistry and DNA-encoded library synthesis as well as methods that allow manipulation of the activity of a biomacromolecule.

Abstract
Protein biotinylation via chemical or enzymatic reactions is often coupled with streptavidin-based enrichment and on-bead digestion in numerous biological applications. However, the popular on-bead digestion method faces major challenges of streptavidin contamination, overwhelming signals from endogenous biotinylated proteins, the lost information on biotinylation sites, and limited sequence coverage of enriched proteins. Here, we explored thiol-cleavable biotin as an alternative approach to elute biotinylated proteins from streptavidin-coated beads for both chemical biotinylation and biotin ligase-based proximity labeling. All possible amino acid sites for biotinylation were thoroughly evaluated in addition to the primary lysine residue. We found that biotinylation at lysine residues notably reduces the trypsin digestion efficiency, which can be mitigated by the thiol-cleavable biotinylation method. We then evaluated the applicability of thiol-cleavable biotin as a substrate for proximity labeling in living cells, where TurboID biotin ligase was engineered onto the mitochondrial inner membrane facing the mitochondrial matrix. As a proof-of-principle study, thiol-cleavable biotin-assisted TurboID proteomics achieved remarkable intraorganelle spatial resolution with significantly enriched proteins localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix.

Abstract
Proximity biotinylation workflows typically require CRISPR-based genetic manipulation of target cells. To overcome this bottleneck, we fused the TurboID proximity biotinylation enzyme to Protein A. Upon target cell permeabilization, the ProtA-Turbo enzyme can be targeted to proteins or post-translational modifications of interest using bait-specific antibodies. Addition of biotin then triggers bait-proximal protein biotinylation. Biotinylated proteins can subsequently be enriched from crude lysates and identified by mass spectrometry. We demonstrate this workflow by targeting Emerin, H3K9me3 and BRG1. Amongst the main findings, our experiments reveal that the essential protein FLYWCH1 interacts with a subset of H3K9me3-marked (peri)centromeres in human cells. The ProtA-Turbo enzyme represents an off-the-shelf proximity biotinylation enzyme that facilitates proximity biotinylation experiments in primary cells and can be used to understand how proteins cooperate in vivo and how this contributes to cellular homeostasis and disease.

Abstract
Multiple cellular functions are controlled by the interaction of RNAs and proteins. Together with the RNAs they control, RNA interacting proteins form RNA protein complexes, which are considered to serve as the true regulatory units for post-transcriptional gene expression. To understand how RNAs are modified, transported, and regulated therefore requires specific knowledge of their interaction partners. To this end, multiple techniques have been developed to characterize the interaction between RNAs and proteins. In this review, we briefly summarize the common methods to study RNA-protein interaction including crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP), and aptamer- or antisense oligonucleotide-based RNA affinity purification. Following this, we focus on in vivo proximity labeling to study RNA-protein interactions. In proximity labeling, a labeling enzyme like ascorbate peroxidase or biotin ligase is targeted to specific RNAs, RNA-binding proteins, or even cellular compartments and uses biotin to label the proteins and RNAs in its vicinity. The tagged molecules are then enriched and analyzed by mass spectrometry or RNA-Seq. We highlight the latest studies that exemplify the strength of this approach for the characterization of RNA protein complexes and distribution of RNAs in vivo.

Abstract
The cellular surfaceome and its residing extracellularly exposed proteins are involved in a multitude of molecular signaling processes across the viral infection cycle. Successful viral propagation, including viral entry, immune evasion, virion release and viral spread rely on dynamic molecular interactions with the surfaceome. Decoding of these viral-host surfaceome interactions using advanced technologies enabled the discovery of fundamental new functional insights into cellular and viral biology. In this review, we highlight recently developed experimental strategies, with a focus on spatial proteotyping technologies, aiding in the rational design of theranostic strategies to combat viral infections.

Abstract
Characterizing the proteome composition of organelles and subcellular regions of living cells can facilitate the understanding of cellular organization as well as protein interactome networks. Proximity labeling-based methods coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) offer a high-throughput approach for systematic analysis of spatially restricted proteomes. Proximity labeling utilizes enzymes that generate reactive radicals to covalently tag neighboring proteins. The tagged endogenous proteins can then be isolated for further analysis by MS. To analyze protein-protein interactions or identify components that localize to discrete subcellular compartments, spatial expression is achieved by fusing the enzyme to specific proteins or signal peptides that target to particular subcellular regions. Although these technologies have only been introduced recently, they have already provided deep insights into a wide range of biological processes. Here, we provide an updated description and comparison of proximity labeling methods, as well as their applications and improvements. As each method has its own unique features, the goal of this review is to describe how different proximity labeling methods can be used to answer different biological questions. This article is categorized under: Technologies > Analysis of Proteins.

Abstract
Cell surface transmembrane, extracellular, and secreted proteins are high value targets for immunophenotyping, drug development, and studies related to intercellular communication in health and disease. As the number of specific and validated affinity reagents that target this subproteome are limited, mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches will continue to play a critical role in enabling discovery and quantitation of these molecules. Given the technical considerations that make MS-based cell surface proteome studies uniquely challenging, it can be difficult to select an appropriate experimental approach. To this end, we have integrated multiple prediction strategies and annotations into a single online resource, Compiled Interactive Resource for Extracellular and Surface Studies (CIRFESS). CIRFESS enables rapid interrogation of the human proteome to reveal the cell surface proteome theoretically detectable by current approaches and highlights where current prediction strategies provide concordant and discordant information. We applied CIRFESS to identify the percentage of various subsets of the proteome which are expected to be captured by targeted enrichment strategies, including two established methods and one that is possible but not yet demonstrated. These results will inform the selection of available proteomic strategies and development of new strategies to enhance coverage of the cell surface and extracellular proteome. CIRFESS is available at www.cellsurfer.net/cirfess.

Abstract
The mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) has emerged as a cellular signaling hub regulating various cellular processes. However, its molecular components remain unclear owing to lack of reliable methods to purify the intact MAM proteome in a physiological context. Here, we introduce Contact-ID, a split-pair system of BioID with strong activity, for identification of the MAM proteome in live cells. Contact-ID specifically labeled proteins proximal to the contact sites of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, and thereby identified 115 MAM-specific proteins. The identified MAM proteins were largely annotated with the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and ER membrane proteins with MAM-related functions: e.g., FKBP8, an OMM protein, facilitated MAM formation and local calcium transport at the MAM. Furthermore, the definitive identification of biotinylation sites revealed membrane topologies of 85 integral membrane proteins. Contact-ID revealed regulatory proteins for MAM formation and could be reliably utilized to profile the proteome at any organelle-membrane contact sites in live cells.

Abstract
Mammals contain over 200 different cell types, yet nearly all have the same genomic DNA sequence. It is a key question in biology how the genetic instructions in DNA are selectively interpreted by cells to specify various transcriptional programs and therefore cellular identity. The structural and functional organization of chromatin governs the transcriptional state of individual genes. To understand how genomic loci adopt different levels of gene expression, it is critical to characterize all local chromatin factors as well as long-range interactions in the 3D nuclear compartment. Much of our current knowledge regarding protein interactions in a chromatin context is based on affinity purification of chromatin components coupled to mass spectrometry (AP-MS). AP-MS has been invaluable to map strong protein-protein interactions in the nucleus. However, the interaction is detected after cell lysis and biochemical enrichment, allowing for loss or gain of false positive or negative interaction partners. Recently, proximity-dependent labeling methods have emerged as powerful tools for studying chromatin in its native context. These methods take advantage of engineered enzymes that are fused to a chromatin factor of interest and can directly label all factors in proximity. Subsequent pull-down assays followed by mass spectrometry or sequencing approaches provide a comprehensive snapshot of the proximal chromatin interactome. By combining this method with dCas9, this approach can also be extended to study chromatin at specific genomic loci. Here, we review and compare current proximity-labeling approaches available for studying chromatin, with a particular focus on new emerging technologies that can provide important insights into the transcriptional and chromatin interaction networks essential for cellular identity.

Abstract
Many disease pathologies can be understood through the elucidation of localized biomolecular networks, or microenvironments. To this end, enzymatic proximity labeling platforms are broadly applied for mapping the wider spatial relationships in subcellular architectures. However, technologies that can map microenvironments with higher precision have long been sought. Here, we describe a microenvironment-mapping platform that exploits photocatalytic carbene generation to selectively identify protein-protein interactions on cell membranes, an approach we term MicroMap (μMap). By using a photocatalyst-antibody conjugate to spatially localize carbene generation, we demonstrate selective labeling of antibody binding targets and their microenvironment protein neighbors. This technique identified the constituent proteins of the programmed-death ligand 1 (PD-L1) microenvironment in live lymphocytes and selectively labeled within an immunosynaptic junction.

Protein Chemical Labeling Using Biomimetic Radical Chemistry. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24213980.

Abstract
Chemical labeling of proteins with synthetic low-molecular-weight probes is an important technique in chemical biology. To achieve this, it is necessary to use chemical reactions that proceed rapidly under physiological conditions (i.e., aqueous solvent, pH, low concentration, and low temperature) so that protein denaturation does not occur. The radical reaction satisfies such demands of protein labeling, and protein labeling using the biomimetic radical reaction has recently attracted attention. The biomimetic radical reaction enables selective labeling of the C-terminus, tyrosine, and tryptophan, which is difficult to achieve with conventional electrophilic protein labeling. In addition, as the radical reaction proceeds selectively in close proximity to the catalyst, it can be applied to the analysis of protein–protein interactions. In this review, recent trends in protein labeling using biomimetic radical reactions are discussed.

Abstract
Cell surface proteins are essential for many important biological processes, including cell-cell interactions, signal transduction, and molecular transportation. With the characteristics of low abundance, high hydrophobicity, and high heterogeneity, it is difficult to get a comprehensive view of cell surface proteome by direct analysis. Thus, it is important to selectively enrich the cell surface proteins before liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis. In recent years, a variety of enrichment methods have been developed. Based on the separation mechanism, these methods could be mainly classified into three types. The first type is based on their difference in the physicochemical property, such as size, density, charge, and hydrophobicity. The second one is based on the bimolecular affinity interaction with lectin or antibody. And the third type is based on the chemical covalent coupling to free side groups of surface-exposed proteins or carbohydrate chains, such as primary amines, carboxyl groups, glycan side chains. In addition, metabolic labeling and enzymatic reaction-based methods have also been employed to selectively isolate cell surface proteins. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the enrichment methods for cell surface proteome profiling.

Abstract
Understanding multicellular organism development from a molecular perspective is no small feat, yet this level of comprehension affords clinician-scientists the ability to identify root causes and mechanisms of congenital diseases. Inarguably, the maturation of molecular biology tools has significantly contributed to the identification of genetic loci that underlie normal and aberrant developmental programs. In combination with cell biology approaches, these tools have begun to elucidate the spatiotemporal expression and function of developmentally-regulated proteins. The emergence of quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) for biological applications has accelerated the pace at which these proteins can be functionally characterized, driving the construction of an increasingly detailed systems biology picture of developmental processes. Here, we review the quantitative MS-based proteomic technologies that have contributed significantly to understanding the role of proteome regulation in developmental processes. We provide a brief overview of these methodologies, focusing on their ability to provide precise and accurate proteome measurements. We then highlight the use of discovery-based and targeted mass spectrometry approaches in model systems to study cellular differentiation states, tissue phenotypes, and spatiotemporal subcellular organization. We also discuss the current application and future perspectives of MS proteomics to study PTM coordination and the role of protein complexes during development.

Abstract
There are currently several methods that address proteomic proximity labeling, and that depend on the biological question asked and localization in the cell. These include BioID, APEX, EMARS, and SPPLAT. Here we describe SPPLAT, a method that can identify members of protein microenvironments localized to the plasma membrane, as well as proteins that interact with each other in endocytic pathways. The SPPLAT protocol is particularly useful as a discovery-based approach, to identify novel molecular neighbors of a predetermined plasma membrane protein target. It allows a quick survey of the target proteins' environment without the need for genetic manipulation. By using various readily available biotin-reactive reagents, together with suitable antibodies, drugs, or toxins directed to a protein target, the user can vary the amount of labeling and can decide to keep or cleave the covalent tag for downstream applications. Proteins and other macromolecules that are specifically biotin tagged can easily be purified and then identified my mass spectrometry, thus allowing one to build a map of cell-surface protein microenvironments that are often the target for therapeutics.

Abstract
Peroxidase-catalyzed proximity labeling is a powerful technique for defining the molecular environment of proteins in vivo. Expressing a protein of interest fused to a modified plant peroxidase (APEX2) allows labeling of nearby polypeptides. Addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and biotin-tyramide (biotin-phenol) generates short-lived radicals around the peroxidase. Labeling is thus restricted to proteins in close proximity, providing a snapshot of the local environment around the APEX2 fusion protein. Combined with an initial perturbation, progressive changes in interaction partners can be tracked, e.g., after drug treatment. Multiplexed quantitative mass spectrometry permits the parallel analysis of several experimental replicates or of up to 11 time points. Here we describe the denaturing purification of biotin-labeled proteins with magnetic streptavidin beads, and subsequent sample preparation for multiplexed quantitative mass spectrometry. Proximity-labeled proteins are enriched under strong denaturing conditions. Tryptic on-bead digest of purified proteins is combined with tandem mass tag peptide labeling (TMT), alkaline reversed-phase peptide fractionation, and SPS MS3 mass spectrometry. This analysis pipeline enables studies of complex protein environment changes in perturbed biological systems, as well as comparative studies of functional protein proximity in different cell lines. Through multiplexing, hundreds of proteins can be quantified in each experimental condition in parallel.

Abstract
The reductionist view of 'one target-one drug' has fueled the development of therapeutic agents to treat human disease. However, many compounds that have efficacy in vitro are inactive in complex in vivo systems. It has become clear that a molecular understanding of signaling networks is needed to address disease phenotypes in the human body. Protein signaling networks function at the molecular level through information transfer via protein-protein interactions. Cell surface exposed proteins, termed the surfaceome, are the gatekeepers between the intra- and extracellular signaling networks, translating extracellular cues into intracellular responses and vice versa. As 66% of drugs in the DrugBank target the surfaceome, these proteins are a key source for potential diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In this review article, we will discuss current knowledge about the spatial organization and molecular interactions of the surfaceome and provide a perspective on the technologies available for studying the extracellular surfaceome interaction network.

Optimizing the fragment complementation of APEX2 for detection of specific protein-protein interactions in live cells. Sci Rep 2017; 7:12039.

Abstract
Dynamic protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play crucial roles in cell physiological processes. The protein-fragment complementation (PFC) assay has been developed as a powerful approach for the detection of PPIs, but its potential for identifying protein interacting regions is not optimized. Recently, an ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2)-based proximity-tagging method combined with mass spectrometry was developed to identify potential protein interactions in live cells. In this study, we tested whether APEX2 could be employed for PFC. By screening split APEX2 pairs attached to FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP) and the FKBP12-rapamycin binding (FRB) domain, which interact with each other only in the presence of rapamycin, we successfully obtained an optimized pair for visualizing the interaction between FRB and FKBP12 with high specificity and sensitivity in live cells. The robustness of this APEX2 pair was confirmed by its application toward detecting the STIM1 and Orial1 homodimers in HEK-293 cells. With a subsequent mass spectrometry analysis, we obtained five different biotinylated sites that were localized to the known interaction region on STIM1 and were only detected when the homodimer formed. These results suggest that our PFC pair of APEX2 provides a potential tool for detecting PPIs and identifying binding regions with high specificity in live cells.

Abstract
Lectin-glycan interactions play important roles in many biological systems, but the nature of glycoprotein counter-receptors expressed on cell membranes is often poorly understood. To help overcome this problem, we developed a method based on proximity labeling technology. Using a peroxidase-coupled lectin, addition of H2O2 and tyramide-biotin substrates leads to generation of short-range biotin radicals that biotinylate proteins in the immediate vicinity of the bound lectin, which can subsequently be identified. As a proof-of-principle, sialoadhesin-horseradish peroxidase-human IgG1 Fc recombinant protein constructs were precomplexed with anti-Fc antibodies, bound to human erythrocytes and reacted with H2O2 and tyramide-SS-biotin. The erythrocyte membrane protein with strongest biotinylation was identified as glycophorin A, in agreement with early studies using lectin overlay and reglycosylation approaches. As a further test of the method, the plant lectin MAL II was conjugated with horseradish peroxidase and used in proximity labeling of human erythrocytes. Glycophorin A was again selectively labeled, which is consistent with previous reports that MAL II has high affinity for glycophorin. This method could be applied to other lectins to identify their membrane counter-receptors.

Abstract
The majority of antibody therapeutics have been isolated from target-led drug discovery, where many years of target research preceded drug program initiation. However, as the search for validated targets becomes more challenging and target space becomes increasingly competitive, alternative strategies, such as phenotypic drug discovery, are gaining favour. This review highlights successful examples of antibody phenotypic screens that have led to clinical drug candidates. We also review the requirements for performing an effective antibody phenotypic screen, including antibody enrichment and target identification strategies. Finally, the future impact of phenotypic drug discovery on antibody drug pipelines will be discussed.

Abstract
Characterizing the proteome composition of organelles and subcellular regions of living cells can facilitate the understanding of cellular organization as well as protein interactome networks. Proximity labeling-based methods coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) offer a high-throughput approach for systematic analysis of spatially restricted proteomes. Proximity labeling utilizes enzymes that generate reactive radicals to covalently tag neighboring proteins with biotin. The biotinylated endogenous proteins can then be isolated for further analysis by MS. To analyze protein-protein interactions or identify components that localize to discrete subcellular compartments, spatial expression is achieved by fusing the enzyme to specific proteins or signal peptides that target to particular subcellular regions. Although these technologies have only been introduced recently, they have already provided deep insights into a wide range of biological processes. Here, we describe and compare current methods of proximity labeling as well as their applications. As each method has its own unique features, the goal of this review is to describe how different proximity labeling methods can be used to answer different biological questions.

Abstract
Proteins are highly dynamic entities. Their myriad functions require specific structures, but proteins' dynamic nature ranges all the way from the local mobility of their amino acid constituents to mobility within and well beyond single cells. A truly comprehensive view of the dynamic structural proteome includes: (i) alternative sequences, (ii) alternative conformations, (iii) alternative interactions with a range of biomolecules, (iv) cellular localizations, (v) alternative behaviors in different cell types. While these aspects have traditionally been explored one protein at a time, we highlight recently emerging global approaches that accelerate comprehensive insights into these facets of the dynamic nature of protein structure. Computational tools that integrate and expand on multiple orthogonal data types promise to enable the transition from a disjointed list of static snapshots to a structurally explicit understanding of the dynamics of cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
Cellular compartments that cannot be biochemically isolated are challenging to characterize. Here we demonstrate the proteomic characterization of the synaptic clefts that exist at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Normal brain function relies on the careful balance of these opposing neural connections, and understanding how this balance is achieved relies on knowledge of their protein compositions. Using a spatially restricted enzymatic tagging strategy, we mapped the proteomes of two of the most common excitatory and inhibitory synaptic clefts in living neurons. These proteomes reveal dozens of synaptic candidates and assign numerous known synaptic proteins to a specific cleft type. The molecular differentiation of each cleft allowed us to identify Mdga2 as a potential specificity factor influencing Neuroligin-2's recruitment of presynaptic neurotransmitters at inhibitory synapses.

Abstract
There are inherent limitations with traditional methods to study protein behavior or to determine the constituency of proteins in discrete subcellular compartments. In response to these limitations, several methods have recently been developed that use proximity-dependent labeling. By fusing proteins to enzymes that generate reactive molecules, most commonly biotin, proximate proteins are covalently labeled to enable their isolation and identification. In this review we describe current methods for proximity-dependent labeling in living cells and discuss their applications and future use in the study of protein behavior.

Abstract
Within cells, proteins can co-assemble into functionally integrated and spatially restricted multicomponent complexes. Often, the affinities between individual proteins are relatively weak, and proteins within such clusters may interact only indirectly with many of their other protein neighbors. This makes proteomic characterization difficult using methods such as immunoprecipitation or cross-linking. Recently, several groups have described the use of enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling reagents that covalently tag the neighbors of a targeted protein with a small molecule such as fluorescein or biotin. The modified proteins can then be isolated by standard pulldown methods and identified by mass spectrometry. Here we will describe the techniques as well as their similarities and differences. We discuss their applications both to study protein assemblies and to provide a new way for characterizing organelle proteomes. We stress the importance of proteomic quantitation and independent target validation in such experiments. Furthermore, we suggest that there are biophysical and cell-biological principles that dictate the appropriateness of enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling methods to address particular biological questions of interest.
