Abstract

The efficient delivery of external proteins from the external milieu to the cytosol of mammalian cells has great potential for both scientific investigations and future therapies. However, when assessing the cellular uptake of proteins, it is often difficult to distinguish between proteins that are stuck in the endosomes and those that have escaped into the cytosol. Here, we describe a method employing the prokaryotic enzyme biotin ligase that overcomes this problem and which can be employed for a highly sensitive quantification of cytosolic protein delivery.
