Resumen
The detection of protein complexes by coimmunoprecipitation or two-hybrid analysis is often limited to cytosolic and soluble proteins, while interaction between membrane proteins or proteins and lipids is hampered by solubilization artefacts or absence of appropriate antibodies to detect a complex. More recently, the proximity ligation assay (PLA) using antibodies for in situ detection of protein complexes in cells and cross-linkable lipid analogs that can be endowed with molecular tags for pull-down assyas were techniques utilized to identify and monitor interaction between proteins and lipids. We have developed a novel technique termed “cross-link/PLA” combining a cross-linkable ceramide analog with PLA and anti-ceramide antibody to visualize lipid–protein complexes in ceramide-rich platforms (CRPs), a particular type of lipid raft. This chapter will discuss experimental protocols and data analysis to use cross-link/PLA for detection and visualization of lipid–protein complexes in CRPs and other types of lipid rafts.
