Specific pupylation as IDEntity reporter(SPIDER)for the identification of protein-biomolecule interactions

Protein-biomolecule interactions play pivotal roles in almost all biological processes.For a biomolecule of interest,the identification of the interacting protein(s)is essential.For this need,although many assays are available,highly robust and reliable methods are always desired.By combining a substrate-based proximity labeling activity from the pupylation pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the streptavidin(SA)-biotin system,we developed the Specific Pupylation as IDEntity Reporter(SPIDER)method for identifying protein-biomolecule interactions.Using SPIDER,we validated the interactions between the known binding proteins of protein,DNA,RNA,and small molecule.We successfully applied SPIDER to construct the global protein interactome for m^(6)A and m RNA,identified a variety of uncharacterized m^(6)A binding proteins,and validated SRSF7 as a potential m^(6)A reader.We globally identified the binding proteins for lenalidomide and Cob B.Moreover,we identified SARS-CoV-2-specific receptors on the cell membrane.Overall,SPIDER is powerful and highly accessible for the study of proteinbiomolecule interactions.
