To understand cellular processes at molecular levels, elucidation of protein-protein interactions occurring at a specific location in living cells is required. We have developed a proximity labeling method mediated by the enzyme-mediated activation of radical source (EMARS) reaction, which features a radical formation from labeling reagents by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) set on a molecule of interest (probed molecule). Proximal molecules are covalently labeled with a tag conjugated with the labeling reagent. Here we describe protocols for preparation of a labeling reagent, labeling of neighboring proteins of the probed molecule in living cells, and identification of the labeled proteins.

We previously reported a method, termed enzyme-mediated activation of radical sources (EMARS) for analysis of co-clustered molecules with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) fusion proteins expressed in living cells. This method is featured by radical formation of labeling reagents by HRP. In the current study, we have employed another labeling reagent, fluorescein-conjugated tyramide (FT) instead of the original arylazide compounds.

Lipid rafts that are enriched in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins serve as a platform for important biological events. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of these events, identification of co-clustering molecules in individual raft domains is required. Here we describe an approach to this issue using the recently developed method termed enzyme-mediated activation of radical source (EMARS), by which molecules in the vicinity within 300 nm from horseradish peroxidase (HRP) set on the probed molecule are labeled.

Important biological events associated with plasma membranes, such as signal transduction, cell adhesion, and protein trafficking, are mediated through the membrane microdomains. We have developed a novel method termed enzyme-mediated activation of radical sources (EMARS) to identify coclustering molecules on the cell surface under living conditions, which features a radical formation from an aryl azide reagent by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). For identification of molecules labeled by the EMARS reaction, antibody array system and mass spectrometry-based proteomics approaches are available.
