Biotinylation-based proximity labelling proteomics: basics, applications and technical considerations

Recent advances in biotinylation-based proximity labelling (PL) have opened up new avenues for mapping the protein composition of cellular compartments and protein complexes in living cells at high spatiotemporal resolution. In particular, PL combined with mass spectrometry-based proteomics has been successfully applied to defining protein-protein interactions, protein-nucleic acid interactions, (membraneless) organelle proteomes and secretomes...
