Small Molecule Arranged Thermal Proximity Coaggregation (smarTPCA)-A Novel Approach to Characterize Protein-Protein Interactions in Living Cells by Similar Isothermal Dose-Responses.

ABSTRACT: Chemical biology and the application of small molecules has proven to be a potent perturbation strategy, especially for the functional elucidation of proteins, their networks, and regulators. In recent years, the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and its proteome-wide extension, thermal proteome profiling (TPP), have proven to be effective tools for identifying interactions of small molecules with their target proteins, as well as off-targets in living cells. Here, we asked the question whether isothermal dose-response (ITDR) CETSA can be exploited to characterize secondary effects downstream of the primary binding event, such as changes in post-translational modifications or protein-protein interactions (PPI).
