Abstract

Identification of protein-protein interactions can be a critical step in understanding the function and regulation of a particular protein and for exploring intracellular signaling cascades. Affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry (APMS) is a powerful method for isolating and characterizing protein complexes. This approach involves the tagging and subsequent enrichment of a protein of interest along with any stably associated proteins that bind to it, followed by the identification of the interacting proteins using mass spectrometry. The protocol described here offers a quick and simple method for routine sample preparation for APMS analysis of suitably tagged human cell lines.
