Isolation of secreted proteins from Drosophila ovaries and embryos through in vivo BirA-mediated biotinylation.

The extraordinarily strong non-covalent interaction between biotin and avidin (kD = 10-14-10-16) has permitted this interaction to be used in a wide variety of experimental contexts. The Biotin Acceptor Peptide (BAP), a 15 amino acid motif that can be biotinylated by the E. coli BirA protein, has be...
