Adaptation of the Protocol for the Isolation of Biotinylated Protein Complexes for Tissues.

Proximity biotinylation, which utilizes various biotin ligating enzymes (BioID, TurboID, etc.), is widely used as a powerful tool for identifying novel protein-protein interactions. However, this method has a significant limitation: the use of streptavidin on beads for enriching biotinylated proteins often results in a high background of peptides from streptavidin itself, which interferes with identification by peptide mass fingerprinting.
