Proximity ligation assays (PLAs) use specific antibodies to detect endogenous protein-protein interactions. PLAs are a highly useful biochemical technique that allow two proteins within proximity to be visualized with fluorescent probes amplified by PCR. While this technique has gained prominence, the use of a PLA in mouse skeletal muscle (SkM) is novel. In this article, we discuss how the PLA method can be used in SkM to study the protein-protein interactions within mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCs). © 2025 The Author(s).

邻近连接分析(PLA)使用特异性抗体来检测内源性蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。PLA是一种非常有用的生化技术,它能使邻近的两种蛋白质通过PCR扩增的荧光探针进行可视化。虽然这项技术已备受关注,但在小鼠骨骼肌(SkM)中使用PLA还是新颖的。在本文中,我们讨论了如何将PLA方法用于SkM,以研究线粒体-内质网接触位点(MERC)内的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。© 2025作者。由Wiley Periodicals LLC出版的《当前方案》。基本方案:用于骨骼肌组织和成肌细胞中MERC蛋白的邻近连接分析。
