Abstract
A genetically encoded, multifunctional photocrosslinker was developed for quantitative and comparative proteomics. By bearing a bioorthogonal handle and a releasable linker in addition to its photoaffinity warhead, this probe enables the enrichment of transient and low‐abundance prey proteins after intracellular photocrosslinking and prey–bait separation, which can be subject to stable isotope dimethyl labeling and mass spectrometry analysis. This quantitative strategy (termed isoCAPP) allowed a comparative proteomic approach to be adopted to identify the proteolytic substrates of an E. coli protease–chaperone dual machinery DegP. Two newly identified substrates were subsequently confirmed by proteolysis experiments.
