Proximity labeling and LC-MS/MS based identification of the stress granule microenvironment induced by different viruses
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To dissect and compare the protein composition of stress granules formed during infections with two different RNA viruses as well as oxidative stress, we developed a recombinant mouse fibroblast cell line stably expressing a fusion protein of the stress granule marker G3BP1 with APEX2 and GFP. When stress granules are induced in these cells, the fusion protein accumulates in the cytoplasmic condensates and allows the biotinylation of the SG proteome based on the APEX2 peroxidase. The proximity labeled proteins can then be affinity purified and identified by quantitative LC-MS/MS. To directly compare different stressed and unstressed conditions, we combined the proximity labeling approach with stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). In the first experiment (Exp 1, 2019 data), we compared the SGs induced by MHV infection with canonical SGs induced by sodium arsenite treatment or the unstressed cells. In a second and third experiment (Exp 2 and 3, 2023 and 2025 data), we expanded our investigations to SGs induced by SFV infection to directly compare the SG proteome between different viruses and at different time points during infection.
