Membrane proteins are crucial for many essential cellular processes. As membrane proteins function in complexes, methods to detect and to characterize membrane protein–protein interactions are undoubtedly required. Therefore, we developed the “Membrane‐Strep‐tagged protein interaction experiment” (Membrane‐SPINE) that combines the specific purification of a Strep‐tagged membrane protein with the reversible fixation of protein complexes by formaldehyde cross‐linking. In combination with MS analysis, we suggest Membrane‐SPINE as a powerful tool to identify unknown interaction partners of membrane proteins in vivo.
