Tandem Affinity Purification of Protein Complexes from Arabidopsis Cell Cultures

Methods Mol Biol. 2018:1794:297-309. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7871-7_21.

Abstract

Tandem affinity purification (TAP) coupled to mass spectrometry has become a powerful approach to identify protein-protein interactions from different biological systems, including plants, in a proteome-wide manner. By using two sequential affinity purification steps, TAP allows for isolation of high-purity TAP-tagged proteins of interest and their associated proteins. Here we describe optimized procedures to use the GSRhino TAP technology for protein complex isolation from Arabidopsis cell suspension cultures.
