PUP-IT is a proximity labeling method based on the prokaryotic enzyme PafA. PafA mediates the ligation of Pup, a small peptide, to the proximal proteins. It is different from other proximity labeling methods, such as BioID and APEX, in that both the enzyme and the labeling tag are proteins, which allows for potential <i>in vivo</i> applications. All proximity labeling involves the genetic fusion of the proximity labeling enzyme with the bait protein. However, PafA is a 55 kDa enzyme which someti ...[more]
