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).

Cysteine-enabled cleavability to advance cross-linking mass spectrometry for global analysis of endogenous protein-protein interactions.

Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is a powerful technology for probing protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and elucidating architectures of protein complexes at the systems level. While successful, the proteome coverage remains limited. To expand the scope of global PPI profiling, we introduce an innovative cysteine-based cleavable XL-MS platform using non-cleavable heterobifunctional lysine-cysteine (K-C) cross-linkers. The oxidation-induced transformation of cysteine cleavability enables unambiguous ... [more]

An interaction is inferred when a bait-enzyme fusion protein selectively modifies a vicinal protein with a diffusible reactive product, followed by affinity capture of the modified protein and identification by mass spectrometric methods.
