We put the spotlight on recent work by Malaker et al., to empirically decode the mucinome.

We envisioned using APEX2 proximity tagging in a 'baitless' manner to biotinylate and identify proteins on cell surfaces. Note: We find that anchoring APEX2 on cell surfaces (via cell surface engineering) is important to get tagging to work. We also find that N-linked glycosylation occludes some protein residues for radical-mediated tagging (see SI). A fun collaboration with Naomi Kamasawa to image APEX2-labelled cell surfaces using TEM (right).

Mia: Among the greatest joys of my career thus far has been to serve as a guest editor alongside Editor-in-Chief Prof. Laura Kiessling, for this special issue. 

Our editorial piece illustrating the need to study protein glycoconjugates as replete entities and the latest advancements to study their structures, interactions, and functions. 

 companion article detailing our design, protocols, and procedures to use proximity tagging as a means of capturing GBP-glycoprotein interactions in live cells.

We present the use of in situ proximity labeling as a powerful approach to tag the dynamic glycoprotein interactors for galectin-3 in the context of living hepatic stellate cells.
