Abstract

Protein regulation by post-translational modifications and protein-protein interactions is critical to controlling molecular pathways. Here, we describe an immunoaffinity purification approach in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protocol uses an endogenously-expressed epitope-tagged protein and can be applied to the identification of post-translational modifications or protein binding partners. The lysine methyltransferase Set5 is used as an example here to purify phosphorylated Set5 and identify phosphosites; however, this approach can be applied to a diverse set of proteins in yeast.
