Bioorthogonal Photocatalytic Decaging-Enabled Mitochondrial Proteomics

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

catalytic activity as well as protein tagging, we applied CAT-Prox for mitochondria proteome profiling in living Hela cells as well as hard-to-transfect macrophage RAW264.7 cells with approximately 70% mitochondria specificity observed from up to 300 proteins enriched. Finally, CAT-Prox was further applied to the dynamic dissection of mitochondria proteome of macrophage cells upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation. By integrating photocatalytic decaging chemistry with proximity-based protein labeling, CAT-Prox offers a general, catalytic, and nongenetic alternative to the enzyme-based proximity labeling strategies for diverse live cell settings.
