The invention relates to a novel
chemical labeling method for identifying a
Golgi apparatus proteome and a mediated secretory
proteome thereof, namely a photocatalytic proximity marker based on an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule. According to the method, a
photosensitizer which has AIE characteristics and can efficiently target a
Golgi apparatus is utilized to catalyze generation of
singlet oxygen or
single electron transfer reaction under excitation of visible light, so that surrounding
amino acid residues are activated and can be captured by substrate molecules containing nucleophilic amino groups and unsaturated
benzene rings. After the
protein adjacent to the
photosensitizer is marked by a substrate containing an alkynyl chemical
handle, the
protein is connected with a breakable
biotin molecule through a click reaction, and in-situ capture and identification of a
Golgi apparatus proteome and a mediated secreted proteome thereof can be realized through
streptavidin enrichment and liquid
chromatography-
mass spectrometry analysis. And identification of marker sites is realized through a
proteomics strategy of open search. The method has the advantages of good compatibility, good selectivity, high temporal-spatial resolution, wide
protein coverage range and the like.
