NPCs were immuno-purified from Mlp1, Nup82, and Nup84 tagged S. cerevisiae strains. After native elution, 0.5 or 1.0 mM disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) was added and sample incubated at room temperature for 30 min with gentle shaking (~1,000 rpm). The reaction was quenched with 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate or SDS PAGE buffer containing 100 mM Tris-HCl. The sample was then precipitated using 90% methanol at −80°C or concentrated in a speed vacuum before separation by SDS electrophoresis.
The sample was reduced by 10 mM tris-(2-carboxyethyl)-phosphine (Invitrogen) at 80°C for 15–20 mins, cooled to room temperature, and alkylated by 50 mM iodoacetamide for 20 min in the dark to block the formation of disulfide bonds. After reduction and alkylation, the cross-linked complexes were separated by 3–8% SDS-PAGE (NuPAGE Tris-Acetate Fisher) to reduce the complexity of the sample. For in-gel digestion, the high molecular weight region gel bands (> 460 kDa, estimated by the high MW protein markers, Invitrogen) corresponding to the cross-linked NPC proteins were sliced and proteolysed by trypsin as previously described66 (link),67 (link). Briefly, gel plugs were crushed into small pieces, ~5–10 µg of sequencing grade trypsin (Promega) per ~100 µg protein was added with subsequent 6 – 8 hour incubation. This proteolysis was repeated once more to ensure optimal results. Peptides were extracted by formic acid and acetonitrile, desalted on C18 cartridges (Waters), and snap-freezed prior to fractionation.
To reduce the complexity of the sample, proteolyzed mixtures were separated by an orthogonal, two-step fractionation strategy. First, peptide size chromatography68 (link) was used for size-based separation into 2 – 4 fractions (~2–10 kDa). Then, a secondary fractionation, using a self-packed basic (pH10) C18 resins (Dr. Masch GmbH), resulted in 10 – 12 peptide fractions which were subsequently analyzed by LC/MS.
Each peptide fraction was dissolved in the sample loading buffer (5% MeOH, 0.2% FA) and analyzed either by an Orbitrap Q Exactive (QE) Plus mass spectrometer or a LTQ Velos Orbitrap Pro mass spectrometer(Thermo Fisher). The QE instrument was directly coupled to an easy-nLC system (Thermo Fisher) for electrospray. The cross-linked peptides were loaded onto the Easy-Spray columns (15 cm prepacked columns that are filled with C18 reverse phase material of 2 or 3 µm particle size, 200 Å pore size and 50 µm inner diameter, Thermo fisher) that were heated to 35 °C. Mobile phase A consisted of 0.1% formic acid and mobile phase B of 100% ACN with 0.1% formic acid. Peptides were eluted in LC gradients of 120 minutes (e.g., a LC gradient of 3–7% B, 0–6 minutes, 7–28% B, 6–101 minutes, 28–100%B, 101–113 minutes, followed by equilibration with 100% A until 120 minutes). Flow rates were set at ~250–275 nl/min. Other instrumental parameters for CX-MS analyses include: capillary temperature: 250–275 °C; target mass resolutions (at 200 Th): 70,000 for MS and 17,500 for MS/MS; AGC targets: 1–3 × 106 (full mass) and 2 × 105 (MS/MS); MS range of 300–1,700 Th; isolation window: 1.3–1.7 Th; HCD normalized energy: 24–29; dynamic exclusion allowed once per 75–90 s. The top 8 most abundant ions (with charge stage of 3–7 and intensity thresholds of 3,000–7,500 ions) were selected for fragmentation by HCD. The max injection times were set at 200 ms (for MS) and 500–800 ms (for MS/MS). For samples that were analyzed by Orbitrap Velos, the cross-linked peptide mixtures were pressure-loaded onto a self-packed PicoFrit® column with integrated electrospray ionization emitter tip (360 O.D, 75 I.D with 15 µm tip, New Objective). The column was packed with 10–15 cm reverse-phase C18 material (3 µm porous silica, 200 Å pore size, Dr. Maisch GmbH). Mobile phase A consisted of 0.5% acetic acid and mobile phase B of 70% ACN with 0.5% acetic acid. The peptides were eluted in a 120 or a 140-minute LC gradient (8% B to 50% B, 0–93 minutes, followed by 50% B to 100% B, 93–110 minutes and equilibrated with 100% A until 120 or 150 minutes) using a HPLC system (Agilent), and analyzed with a LTQ Velos Orbitrap Pro mass spectrometer using similar parameters to the QE instrument.
The raw data were searched by pLink69 (link) using a FASTA database containing 34 NPC protein sequences. An initial MS1 search window of 5 Da was allowed to cover all isotopic peaks of the cross-linked peptides. The data were automatically filtered using a mass accuracy of MS1 ≤ 10 ppm (parts per million) and MS2 ≤ 20 ppm of the theoretical monoisotopic (A0) and other isotopic masses (A+1, A+2, A+3, and A+4) as specified in the software. Other search parameters include cysteine carbamidomethyl as a fixed modification, and methionine oxidation as a variable modification. A maximum of two trypsin missed-cleavage sites was allowed. The initial search results were obtained using a default 5% false discovery rate (FDR) expected by target-decoy search strategy. All spectra were manually verified as previously described66 (link),67 (link),70 (link)–72 (link). The cross-linking data was analyzed and plotted by an on-line software tool of CX-Circos (http://cx-circos.net; manuscript in preparation) (Fig. 2).

A previously described native human Sec61β construct (7 (link)) was modified to contain the TMD from VAMP, followed by a C-terminal opsin tag (fig. S1). This ORF was subcloned in place of DHFR in the control T7-driven plasmid for in vitro transcription and translation in the PURE system (NEB). Yeast Get3 antibody was as described previously (10 (link)). The SGTA antibody was generated against a synthetic C-terminal peptide conjugated to KLH. The SGTA sequence used was CRSRRPSASNDDQQE, with the extra cysteine added at the N-terminus for KLH conjugation.
Chaperone-TA complexes were obtained by supplementing the PURE translation system (NEB) with plasmid encoding the VAMP TMD-containing substrate, 35S-methionine and 25 μM of purified Sgt2, SGTA or Get3. After incubating for 90 min at 37 °C, reactions were diluted with ice cold assay buffer (50 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 125 mM KOAc, 2 mM MgCl2), and separated at 4 °C through a 5-25% sucrose gradient (55,000 rpm/5 h in a TLS55 rotor); fractions containing the soluble complexes (see fig. S1 and S3) were pooled and either used immediately or frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C.
Substrate transfer reactions were carried out in 50 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 125 mM KOAc, 4 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM ATP and subjected to amine-reactive, sulfhydryl-reactive, or UV crosslinking. Amine-reactive crosslinking used 250 μM disuccinimidyl suberate (Pierce) at 22° C for 30 min. Sulfhydryl-reactive crosslinking used 200 μM bismaleimidohexane (Pierce) for 30 min on ice. Photo-crosslinking via BpF with UV was for 15 min on ice using a 365 nm longwave UV spot lamp (UVP) placed 10 cm from the sample. All crosslinking reactions were terminated by addition of excess SDS-PAGE buffer, followed optionally by immunoprecipitation (with anti-SGTA or anti-Get3 antibodies), separation by SDS-PAGE on 12% Tris-Tricine gels, Coomassie blue staining and autoradiography.
Size analysis of the Get3-TA substrate complexes formed by Get4-Get5-dependent loading from SGTA was performed using high-resolution 5-25% sucrose gradients (55,000 rpm/5 h in a TLS55 rotor); gradient fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and quantified by phosphorimaging. Free, dimeric Get3 and E. coli-produced tetrameric Get3-TA substrate complexes (described above) were used as molecular weight standards; samples were analyzed by Coomassie staining and quantified by densitometry.
Insertion activity was analyzed by incubating TA substrate complexes (as indicated in the Figure legends) with yeast rough microsomes, prepared from wild-type yeast essentially as described previously (14 (link)). Insertion was monitored by TA protein glycosylation and quantified by phosphorimaging.

Other single cell techniques may benefit from the nuclei preparation and fixation method presented here, particularly with older embryos and tissues, which are rendered challenging by the abundant presence of RNases. Using DEPC as an RNase inhibitor has been very successful in our hands, but it has a short half life in water and is broken down by Tris-containing buffers. It is only needed until the nuclei are fixed, so it might be useful in other methods to replace more expensive inhibitors if you can substitute buffers until the RNase inactivation is complete. Additional modifications to streamline or even remove the tagmentation step may further improve the protocol, and the method can also potentially be combined with oligo-based hashing techniques16 (link),17 (link). Using DSP as a fixative might prohibit some single cell techniques because of the ability of DTT (commonly found in reaction buffers) to reverse the crosslinks. For such protocols, one might try using DSS (disuccinimidyl suberate) instead, which acts similarly to DSP but with cross-links that are irreversible.

Tissue fixing, chromatin sonication, and IP with the first antibody in the primary ChIP procedure were performed as described in eChIP. The first antibody was crosslinked to the beads using the fixative disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS, Pierce, 21555). After washing with low-salt ChIP buffer, high-salt ChIP buffer, ChIP wash buffer, and TE buffer, the protein-DNA complexes were eluted from beads by ChIP Elution buffer for 15 min at 65 °C with agitation at 900 rpm. The supernatant (eluted chromatin) was then transferred to a new tube. A total 5% of the eluted chromatin was retained for the primary ChIP DNA purification. The remaining eluted chromatin was then used for the reChIP. reChIP with the secondary antibody, elution, DNA purification, library construction, and sequencing were performed as described above.
