Significance We report an approach of combining CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing with florescence cell sorting to tag and purify human endogenous protein complexes from HEK cells for structural studies by single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy. This procedure is demonstrated by applying the method to study human proteasomal complexes, enabling rapid determination of high-resolution structures of several proteasomal complexes. We envision this approach will enable structural, biochemical, and biophysical studies of many important endogenous human macromolecular complexes.
