Mapping the BIN2 kinase signaling network with TurboID-mediated proximity labeling and phosphoproteomics
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellKim et al. use the TurboID biotin-labeling system and phosphoproteomics to identify substrates of the kinase BIN2.
Background: Intracellular signal transduction relies on specific and dynamic interactions between kinases and their substrates. Identifying substrate proteins of each kinase is crucial…
