Protein-protein interactions are crucial for life activities, but analyzing them in multicellular organisms is challenging and requires good resolution of time and space. Proximity-based biotinylation combined with mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful approach to study PPI networks and protein subcellular compartmentation, with TurboID being effective in labeling proximate proteins in various species.
The protein-protein interaction (PPI) is a basic strategy for life to operate. The analysis of PPIs in multicellular organisms is very important but extremely challenging because PPIs are particularly dynamic and variable among different development stages, tissues, cells, and even organelles. Therefore, understanding PPI needs a good resolution of time and space. More importantly, understanding in vivo PPI needs to be realized in situ. Proximity-based biotinylation combined with mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful approach to study PPI networks and protein subcellular compartmentation. TurboID, the newly engineered promiscuous ligase, has been reported to label proximate proteins effectively in various species. In Drosophila, we systematically apply TurboID-mediated biotinylation in a wide range of developmental stages and tissues, and demonstrate the feasibility of TurboID-mediated labeling system in desired cell types. For a proof-of-principle, we use the TurboID-mediated biotinylation coupled with MS to distinguish CTP synthase with or without the ability to form filamentous cytoophidia, retrieving two distinct sets of proximate proteomes. Therefore, this makes it possible to map PPIs in vivo and in situ at a defined spatiotemporal resolution, and demonstrates a referable resource for cytoophidium proteome in Drosophila.
