Abstract:
The protein nanoenvironment on the plasma membrane is intimately linked to cellular biological functions. Elucidation of the protein nanoenvironment contributes to understanding the pathological mechanism and discovery of disease biomarkers. However, methods enabling characterization of the protein nanoenvironment in the endogenous biological environment have been rarely developed. Toward this end, we created a nucleic acid tool called AptGq/h for proximity labeling to decipher the endogenous protein nanoenvironment. Here, the aptamer acts as an anchor for binding the protein of interest (POI). The G-quadruplex/hemin complex induces proximity labeling of POI via catalyzing the conversion of inert small-molecule substrates into short-lived reactive species. The labeled proteins enable the subsequent affinity-based enrichment and proteomic analysis. We first characterized Apt-Gq/h-mediated POI labeling in vitro and tested its utility by interrogating the protein nanoenvironment of POI in living cells. Taking advantage of the nongenetic, multiple reaction sites, and rapid proximity labeling, Apt-Gq/h was further utilized to imaging the cell-cell connection and amplification detection of biomarkers in living cells and tissue sections. We believe that Apt-Gq/h will be a potential tool for basic science and clinical applications.
