Research Area
Our lab focus on the study of dynamic signaling pathway using SWATH-MS based quantitative proteomics. Signal transduction in cells was generally mediated by dynamic assembly and dissociation of protein complexes. To gain an in-depth insight into the signaling transduction in cells, we employed quantitative mass spectrometry to investigate assembly and dissociation of endogenous protein complexes.
We fist purified protein complexes using affinity purification, and subsequently identified and quantified protein components of protein complexes using SWATH-MS, which we referred to as AP-SWATH workflow. The AP-SWATH workflow can be utilized to identify novel proteins in the signaling pathway and investigate the stoichiometry of protein complexes. The AP-SWATH workflow has been successfully employed to study the TNF and LPS signaling pathways.
