Existing assays for subcellular local translation either require physical isolation, which is prone to contamination and loss of material, or imaging-based readout, which is often hampered with low throughput. In this study, we report the development of optoRibo-seq method that features photoactivatable enzyme-mediated proximity labeling of ribosomes in genetically specified subcellular locations. We demonstrate the spatial specificity of optoRibo-seq at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and mitochondrial outer membrane. OptoRibo-seq is further applied to map the dynamic changes in the ER-proximal translatome in cells undergoing chemically induced ER stress, identifying transcripts involved in protein folding and amino acid transport. Our strategy provides a general platform for spatiotemporally resolved profiling of subcellular protein translation in various organelles.
