Spatiotemporal profiling of cytosolic signaling complexes in living cells by selective proximity proteomics.

ABSTRACT: Signaling complexes are often organized in a spatiotemporal manner and on a minute timescale. Proximity labeling based on engineered ascorbate peroxidase APEX2 pioneered in situ capture of spatiotemporal membrane protein complexes in living cells, but its application to cytosolic proteins remains limited due to the high labeling background. Here, we develop proximity labeling probes with increased labeling selectivity. These probes, in combination with label-free quantitative proteomics, allow exploring cytosolic protein assemblies such as phosphotyrosine-mediated protein complexes formed in response to minute-scale EGF stimulation. As proof-of-concept, we systematically profile the spatiotemporal interactome of the EGFR signaling component STS1. For STS1 core complexes, our proximity prot
