Protein-protein interactions are foundational for many cellular processes. Such interactions are especially challenging to identify if they are transient or depend on environmental conditions. This protocol details steps to identify stable and transient protein interactomes in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus using biotin ligase miniTurbo-based proximity labeling. We include instructions for optimizing the expression of control proteins, in vivo biotin labeling of bacteria grown on a surface or in suspension culture, enrichment of biotinylated proteins, and sample processing for proteomic analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Branon et al. (2018)..

In bacteria, cell poles function as subcellular compartments where proteins localize during specific lifecycle stages, orchestrated by polar "hub" proteins. Whereas most described bacteria inherit an "old" pole from the mother cell and a "new" pole from cell division, generating cell asymmetry at birth, non-binary division poses challenges for establishing cell polarity, particularly for daughter cells inheriting only new poles. We investigated polarity dynamics in the obligate predatory bacterium , proliferating through filamentous growth followed by non-binary division within prey bacteria.

Aberrant activation or suppression of WNT/β-catenin signaling contributes to cancer initiation and progression, neurodegeneration, and bone disease. However, despite great need and more than 40 years of research, targeted therapies for the WNT pathway have yet to be fully realized. Kinases are considered exceptionally druggable and occupy key nodes within the WNT signaling network, but several pathway-relevant kinases remain understudied and "dark.

Marchantia polymorpha is a model liverwort and its overall low genetic redundancy is advantageous for dissecting complex pathways. Proximity-dependent in vivo biotin-labelling methods have emerged as powerful interactomics tools in recent years. However, interactomics studies applying proximity labelling are currently limited to angiosperm species in plants.
