Description

Harrison McNabb and five co-authors published a neuroscience study in twenty twenty-six cataloguing the protein partners of G-beta-5, an oddball signaling protein whose mutations cause a multisystem developmental disorder. Unlike its relatives, it works away from the cell surface as well as at it, and its contacts in the cell interior and nucleus were unmapped. A proximity-labeling trick in living neuron-like cells changed that.

The tagged protein biotin-marked its neighbors, which mass spectrometry then identified. Forty-eight candidate partners emerged, most never reported before, many tied to neuronal development and function. The enriched traits mirror what G-beta-5 deficiency does in patients. The interactome gives the disorder's genetics a working parts list.
