Quantitative Membrane Proteomics for Discovery of Actionable Drug Targets at the Surface of RAS-Driven Human Cancer Cells

With the advent of promising lung cancer immunotherapies targeting proteins at the cell surface of RAS-driven human cancers, the mass spectrometry (MS)-based surfaceomics remains a feasible strategy for therapeutic target discovery. This chapter describes a protocol for discovery of druggable protein targets at the surface of RAS-driven human cancer cells. This method relies on bottom-up MS-based quantitative surfaceomics that employs in parallel, targeted hydrazide-based cell-surface glycoproteomics and global shotgun membrane proteomics to enable unbiased quantitative profiling of thousands of cell surface membrane proteins.
