Popis: We describe an affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) method for probing the interactome of a special targeting protein. The AP was implemented with monolithic micro immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography columns (m-IMAC) which were prepared by photoinitiated polymerization in the tip of a pipet (spin-tip columns). The recombinant His6-tagged protein (bait protein) was reversibly immobilized on the affinity column through the chelating group nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-Ni2+. The bait protein and its interacting partners can be easily eluted from the affinity matrix. The pulled-down cellular proteins were then analyzed with label-free quantitative proteomics. We used this method for probing the interactome concerning the GOLD (Golgi dynamics) domain of the autophagy-associated adaptor protein FYCO1. Totally, 96 proteins including seven literature-reported FYCO1-associating proteins were identified. Among them CCZ1 and MON1A were further biochemically validated, and the direct interaction between the FYCO1 GOLD domain with CCZ1 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation experiments.
