Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

Membrane-associated RING-CH (MARCH) 8 mediates the ubiquitination and lysosomal degradation of the transferrin receptor.

Fujita H, Iwabu Y, Tokunaga K, Tanaka Y

The transferrin receptor (TfR) mediates the uptake of transferrin (Tf)-bound iron from the plasma into the cells of peripheral tissues. The TfR continuously recycles between the plasma membrane (PM) and early/recycling endosomes. TfR expression is tightly controlled by intracellular iron concentration through the regulation of TfR mRNA stability. However, much less is known about the mechanism by which TfR is ... [more]
