Comprehensive Interactome Mapping of Nuclear Receptors Using Proximity Biotinylation

Proteomics in Systems Biology

Abstract

Nuclear receptors, including hormone receptors, perform their cellular activities by modulating their protein–protein interactions. They engage with specific ligands and translocate to the nucleus, where they bind the DNA and activate extensive transcriptional programs. Therefore, gaining a comprehensive overview of the protein–protein interactions they establish requires methods that function effectively throughout the cell with fast dynamics and high reproducibility. Focusing on estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1), the founding member of the nuclear receptor family, this chapter describes a new lentiviral system that allows the expression of TurboID-hemagglutinin (HA)-2 × Strep tagged proteins in mammalian cells to perform fast proximity biotinylation assays. Key validation steps for these reagents and their use in interactome mapping experiments in two distinct breast cancer cell lines are described. Our protocol enabled the quantification of ESR1 interactome generated by cellular contexts that were hormone-sensitive or not.
