Protocol to determine the subcellular localization of protein interactions in murine keratinocytes

Abstract

Protein activities and interactions are determined by their subcellular localization. Elucidating the network of protein-protein interactions at a spatial resolution is essential for understanding the complexity of protein functions, their regulation, and cellular processes. Here, we present a protocol to determine the subcellular localization of protein interactions in non-transformed murine keratinocytes. We describe steps for nucleus/cytoplasm fractionation, immunoprecipitation from these fractions, and immunoblotting. We then detail binding quantification.
