Abstract
Understanding how protein-protein interaction networks in the brain give rise to cognitive functions necessitates their characterization in live animals. However, tools available for this purpose require potentially disruptive genetic modifications and lack the temporal resolution necessary to track rapid changes in vivo. Here we leverage affinity-based targeting and photocatalyzed singlet oxygen generation to identify neurotransmitter receptor-proximal proteins in the live mouse brain using only small-molecule reagents and minutes of photoirradiation. Our photooxidation-driven proximity labeling for proteome identification (named PhoxID) method not only recapitulated the known interactomes of three endogenous neurotransmitter receptors (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR), inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor and ionotropic glutamate receptor delta-2) but also uncovered age-dependent shifts, identifying NECTIN3 and IGSF3 as developmentally regulated AMPAR-proximal proteins in the cerebellum. Overall, this work establishes a flexible and generalizable platform to study receptor microenvironments in genetically intact specimens with an unprecedented temporal resolution.
期刊介绍:
Nature Chemical Biology stands as an esteemed international monthly journal, offering a prominent platform for the chemical biology community to showcase top-tier original research and commentary. Operating at the crossroads of chemistry, biology, and related disciplines, chemical biology utilizes scientific ideas and approaches to comprehend and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision.
The journal embraces contributions from the growing community of chemical biologists, encompassing insights from chemists applying principles and tools to biological inquiries and biologists striving to comprehend and control molecular-level biological processes. We prioritize studies unveiling significant conceptual or practical advancements in areas where chemistry and biology intersect, emphasizing basic research, especially those reporting novel chemical or biological tools and offering profound molecular-level insights into underlying biological mechanisms.
Nature Chemical Biology also welcomes manuscripts describing applied molecular studies at the chemistry-biology interface due to the broad utility of chemical biology approaches in manipulating or engineering biological systems. Irrespective of scientific focus, we actively seek submissions that creatively blend chemistry and biology, particularly those providing substantial conceptual or methodological breakthroughs with the potential to open innovative research avenues. The journal maintains a robust and impartial review process, emphasizing thorough chemical and biological characterization.
