This video demonstrates a technique that uses biotinylated cell-penetrating peptides to detect intracellular protein-protein interactions. The cell-penetrating peptides facilitate the conjugated peptide to enter a cell and specifically bind to its interacting proteins. The biotin, after binding to avidin, allows purification of the interacting proteins’ complex from a cell lysate.

Protocol

1. Cells Two days before starting the procedure, plate the cells at the required density to be confluent on the day of the experiment. Plate the cells in flasks or plates. However, protein extraction will be easier from plates. It is convenient to prepare at least 4 plates of 78 cm2 or 2 flasks of 150 cm2 per condition per experiment, to be sure that the results are consistent. In this study, plate human G166 GSCs in 4 flasks of 150 cm2, cultured in RHB-A stem cell m…
