Defining proximity proteomics of Histone modifications by antibody-mediated protein A-APEX2 labeling
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Proximity labeling catalyzed by promiscuous enzymes, such as APEX2, has emerged as a powerful approach to characterize multiprotein complexes and protein–protein interactions. However, current methods depend on the expression of exogenous fusion proteins and cannot be applied to identify proteins surrounding of post-translationally modified proteins. To address this limitation, we developed a new method to label proximal proteins of interest by antibody-mediated protein A-APEX2 labeling (AMAPEX). In this method, a modified protein is bound in situ by a specific antibody, which then tehers a protein A-APEX2 (pA-APEX2) fusion protein. Activation of APEX2 labels the nearby proteins with biotin; these proteins are then purified using streptavidin beads and are identified by mass spectrometry. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by profiling the binding proteins of histone modifications including H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K4me3, H4K5ac and H4K12ac, verified the co-localization of these identified proteins with baits proteins by published ChIP-seq analysis and nucleosome immunoprecipitation. Overall, AMAPEX is an efficient tool to identify proteins that are proximal to modified histones.
