Driving integrative structural modeling with serial capture affinity purification.

ABSTRACT: Streamlined characterization of protein complexes remains a challenge for the study of protein interaction networks. Here we describe serial capture affinity purification (SCAP), in which two separate proteins are tagged with either the HaloTag or the SNAP-tag, permitting a multistep affinity enrichment of specific protein complexes. The multifunctional capabilities of this protein-tagging system also permit in vivo validation of interactions using acceptor photobleaching Förster resonance energy transfer and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy quantitative imaging. By coupling SCAP to cross-linking mass spectrometry, an integrative structural model of the complex of interest can be generated. We demonstrate this approach using the Spindlin1 and SPINDOC protein complex, culminating
