Abstract

Proteins are expressed from genes via sequential biological processes of transcription, mRNA processing, export and translation, and play their roles in maintaining cellular functions via interactions with proteins, DNAs or RNAs. Thus, it is important to study the protein interactions during biological processes in living cells towards understanding their mechanisms-of-action in real time. Methodologies have been developed over the years to study protein interactions in vivo. One state-of-the-art approach is formaldehyde crosslinking-based immuno- or chemi-precipitation to analyze selective as well as genome/proteome-wide interactions in living cells. It is a popular and widely used methodology for cellular analysis of the protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. Here, we describe this approach to analyze protein-protein/nucleic acid interactions in vivo.
