Abstract

Metabolites are not only substrates in metabolic reactions, but they also serve as signaling molecules to regulate diverse biological functions. Identification of the binding proteins for the metabolites helps in the understanding of their functions beyond the classic metabolic pathways in which they are involved. We provide the protocol for synthesizing the biotin-labeled myo-inositol, which is used to identify its binding proteins by using biotin pull-down assay, given there is no available tool for the rapid screening of inositol-binding proteins in cells and in vitro systems. Biotin-labeled inositol probe therefore provides a tool to identify inositol's sensors. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hsu et al. (2021).
