Summary: Protein-protein interactions play an important biological role in every aspect of cellular homeostasis and functioning. Proximity labeling mass spectrometry-based proteomics overcomes challenges typically associated with other methods and has quickly become the current state of the art in the field. Nevertheless, tight control of proximity-labeling enzymatic activity and expression levels is crucial to accurately identify protein interactors. Here, we leverage a T2A self-cleaving peptide and a non-cleaving mutant to accommodate the protein of interest in the experimental and control TurboID setup. To allow easy and streamlined plasmid assembly, we built a Golden Gate modular cloning system to generate plasmids for transient expression and stable integration. To highlight our T2A Split/link design, we applied it to identify protein interactions of the glucocorticoid receptor and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid and non-structural protein 7 (NSP7) proteins by TurboID proximity labeling. Our results demonstrate that our T2A split/link provides an opportune control that builds upon previously established control requirements in the field. Motivation: In proximity labeling proteomics, protein-protein interactions are identified by in vivo biotinylation. However, the current lack of a universally applicable negative control for differential analysis affects accurate mapping of the interactome. To bridge this gap, we conceptualized a system based on the T2A self-cleaving peptide to match expression levels between control and bait protein setups while using the same bait protein. In addition, we implemented a versatile modular cloning system to build mammalian expression vectors for, but not limited to, proximity labeling assays. |
