ABSTRACT
Protein complexes mediated by various post-translational modifications (PTMs) play important roles in almost every aspect of biological processes. PTM-mediated protein complexes often have weak and transient binding properties, which limit their unbiased profiling especially in complex biological samples. Here, we developed a plug-and-play chemical proteomic approach for high-throughput analyis of PTM-mediated protein complexes. Taking advantage of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) tag, which is the gold standard for protein purification and has wide access to a variety of proteins of interest (POIs), a glutathione (GSH) group- and photo-cross-linking group-containing trifunctional chemical probe was developed to tag POIs and assembled onto a streptavidin-coated 96-well plate for affinity purification, photo-cross-linking, and proteomics sample preparation in a fully integrated manner. Compared with the previously developed photo-pTyr-scaffold strategy, by assembling the tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr) binding domain through covalent NHS chemistry, the new plug-and-play strategy using a noncovalent GST-GSH interaction has comparable enrichment efficiency for EGF stimulation-dependent pTyr protein complexes. To further prove its feasibility, we additionally assembled four pTyr-binding domains in the 96-well plate and selectively identified their pTyr-dependent interacting proteins. Importantly, we systematically optimized and applied the plug-and-play approach for exploring protein methylation-mediated protein complexes, which are difficult to be characterized due to their weak binding affinity and the lack of efficient enrichment strategies. We explored a comprehensive protein methylation-mediated interaction network assembled by five protein methylation binding domains including the chromo domain of MPP8, tandem tudor domain of KDM4A, full-length CBX1, PHD domain of RAG2, and tandem tudor domain of TP53BP1 and validated the chromo domain- and tudor domain-mediated interaction with histone H3. Collectively, this plug-and-play approach provides a convenient and generic strategy for exploring PTM-dependent protein complexes for any POIs with the GST tag.
