This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Isolation of protein complexes via affinity-tagged proteins provides a powerful tool for studying biological systems, but the technique is often compromised by co-enrichment of non-specifically interacting proteins. We developed a new technique (I-DIRT) that distinguishes contaminants from bona fide interactors in immunopurifications, overcoming this most challenging problem in defining protein complexes. The basic principle of this technique is mixing isotopically light cells that contain an affinity-tagged protein with isotopically heavy cells that do not contain a tagged protein. After isolation of the affinity-tagged protein complex and trypsin digestion of the co-enriching proteins, specifically interacting proteins are identified by mass spectrometry as isotopically light, whilst non-specifically interacting proteins appear as a mixture of isotopically light and heavy. We have published this work in J. Proteome Res. (2005) 4, 1752-6.
