We describe a tool, Spatio-Temporal Association Mapping of Proteins (STAMP), for identifying protein interactomes via proximity labeling. For a proof-of-principle study, we use cytidine 5'-triphosphate synthase (CTPS) as an example. CTPS, a metabolic enzyme, forms filamentous structures termed cytoophidia in various tissues. We apply STAMP to a variety of developmental stages and tissues in Drosophila including adult ovaries. Using a cell-specific GAL4 driver, we verify that TurboID can biotinylate the bait protein CTPS, making possible the identification of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in individual cells. Using the wild-type and mutant CTPS as bait proteins, STAMP results in two distinct sets of proximate proteomes. Our results suggest that STAMP is a feasible tool to catch in vivo PPIs in situ at a defined spatiotemporal resolution.
