Description
Degradation and recycling of plasma membrane proteins occurs via the endolysosomal system, wherein endosomes bud into the cytosol from the plasma membrane and subsequently mature into degradative lysosomal compartments. While methods have been developed for rapid selective capture of lysosomes (Lyso-IP), analogous methods for isolation of early endosome intermediates are lacking. Here, we develop an approach for rapid isolation of early/sorting endosomes through affinity capture of the early endosome-associated protein EEA1 (Endo-IP) and provide proteomic and lipidomic snapshots of EEA1-positive endosomes in action. We identify recycling, regulatory and membrane fusion complexes, as well as candidate cargo, providing a proteomic landscape of early/sorting endosomes. To demonstrate the utility of the method, we combined Endo- and Lyso-IP with multiplexed targeted proteomics to provide a spatial digital snapshot of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing by β and γ-Secretases, which produce amyloidogenic Aβ species, and quantify small molecule modulation of Secretase action on endosomes. We anticipate that the Endo-IP approach will facilitate systematic interrogation of processes that are coordinated on EEA1-positive endosomes.
