A new cross-linking strategy: protein interaction reporter (PIR) technology for protein–protein interaction studies

Open access

Abstract

Chemical cross-linking coupled with mass spectrometry, an emerging approach for protein topology and interaction studies, has gained increasing interest in the past few years. A number of recent proof-of-principle studies on model proteins or protein complex systems with improved cross-linking strategies have shown great promise. However, the heterogeneity and low abundance of the cross-linked products as well as data complexity continue to pose enormous challenges for large-scale application of cross-linking approaches. A novel mass spectrometry-cleavable cross-linking strategy embodied in Protein Interaction Reporter (PIR) technology, first reported in 2005, was recently successfully applied for in vivo identification of protein–protein interactions as well as actual regions of the interacting proteins that share close proximity while present within cells. PIR technology holds great promise for achieving the ultimate goal of mapping protein interaction network at systems level using chemical cross-linking. In this review, we will briefly describe the recent progress in the field of chemical cross-linking development with an emphasis on the PIR concepts, its applications and future directions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
