Cross-Linking-MS (XL-MS)

An interaction is detected between two proteins using chemically reactive or photo-activatable cross-linking reagents that covalently link amino acids in close proximity, followed by mass spectrometry analysis to identify the linked peptides (reviewed in PMID 37406423, 37104977). Experiments may be carried with live cells or cell lysates in which all proteins are expressed at endogenous levels (e.g. PMID 34349018, 35235311) or with recombinant proteins (e.g., PMID 28537071).

In-Depth In Vivo Crosslinking in Minutes by a Compact, Membrane-Permeable, and Alkynyl-Enrichable Crosslinker.

Chemical crosslinking coupled with mass spectrometry (CXMS) has emerged as a powerful technique to obtain the dynamic conformations and interaction interfaces of protein complexes. Limited by the poor cell membrane permeability, chemical reactivity, and biocompatibility of crosslinkers, in vivo crosslinking to capture the dynamics of protein complexes with finer temporal resolution and higher coverage is attractive but challenging. In this ... [more]
