Protein removal has a central role in numerous cellular processes. Obtaining systematic measurements of multiple protein removal rates is necessary to understand the principles that govern these processes, but it is currently a major technical challenge. To address this, we developed 'bleach-chase', a noninvasive method for measuring the half-lives of multiple proteins at high temporal resolution in living cells. The method uses a library of annotated human reporter cell clones, each with a unique fluorescently tagged protein expressed from its native chromosomal location. In this protocol, we detail a simple procedure that bleaches the cells and uses time-lapse fluorescence microscopy and automated image analysis to systematically measure the half-life dynamics of multiple proteins. The duration of the protocol is 4-5 d. The method may be applicable to a wide range of fluorescently tagged proteins and cell lines.
