| Popis: | Biological systems have evolved to utilize proteins to accomplish nearly all functional roles needed to sustain life. A majority of biological functions occur within the crowded environment inside cells and subcellular compartments where proteins exist in a densely packed complex network of protein-protein interactions. The structural biology field has experienced a renaissance with recent advances in crystallography, NMR, and CryoEM that now produce stunning models of large and complex structures previously unimaginable. Nevertheless, measurements of such structural detail within cellular environments remain elusive. This review will highlight how advances in mass spectrometry, chemical labeling, and informatics capabilities are merging to provide structural insights on proteins, complexes, and networks that exist inside cells. Because of the molecular detection specificity provided by mass spectrometry and proteomics, these approaches provide systems-level information that not only benefits from conventional structural analysis, but also is highly complementary. Although far from comprehensive in their current form, these approaches are currently providing systems structural biology information that can uniquely reveal how conformations and interactions involving many proteins change inside cells with perturbations such as disease, drug treatment, or phenotypic differences. With continued advancements and more widespread adaptation, systems structural biology based on in-cell labeling and mass spectrometry will provide an even greater wealth of structural knowledge. |
