Abstract:
Proteins differentially interact with each other across cellular states and conditions, but an
efficient proteome-wide strategy to monitor them is lacking.We report the application of
thermal proximity coaggregation (TPCA) for high-throughput intracellular monitoring of
protein complex dynamics. Significant TPCA signatures observed among well-validated
protein-protein interactions correlate positively with interaction stoichiometry and are
statistically observable in more than 350 annotated human protein complexes. Using
TPCA, we identified many complexes without detectable differential protein expression,
including chromatin-associated complexes, modulated in S phase of the cell cycle.
Comparison of six cell lines by TPCA revealed cell-specific interactions even in
fundamental cellular processes. TPCA constitutes an approach for system-wide studies
of protein complexes in nonengineered cells and tissues and might be used to identify
protein complexes that are modulated in diseases.
