ABSTRACT
Protein translocation to the cell membrane and transport through intracellular compartments are dynamic processes frequently altered in cancer cells. Abnormal protein localization can affect key cell functions, including transduction of extracellular signals and organization of the cytoskeleton, significantly affecting oncogenicity and therapeutic responses. In this chapter, we describe a surface protein biotinylation method that allows the study of membrane localization and endosomal transport of membrane-associated proteins. Surface biotinylation can be used to evaluate baseline protein levels at the membrane, and other processes such as internalization, recycling, and degradation of proteins in response to different treatments or as a consequence of oncogenic mutations. Further, the combination of this technique with other strategies, such as treatments with transport inhibitors, allows investigation of specific steps of protein trafficking through the cell.
