RBM6 proximity interactions (RBM6-APEX)

We sought to map RBM6 interactome using ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2)-based proximity labelling combined with mass spectrometry. Toward this end, we used CRISPR-cas9 methodology to establish MCF10A cell line expressing APEX2 fused to the N-terminal of RBM6, hereafter called MCF10AAPEX2-RBM6. The peroxidase activity of APEX2-RBM6 fusion was confirmed. Next, RBM6 proximal proteins that were biotinylated by APEX2 activation using hydrogen peroxidase (H2O2) in the presence of biotin-phenol were isolated and subjected to mass spectrometry. We identified 173 (P-value<0.05) RBM6 proximity-interaction partners.
