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.

Cullin 4A and 4B ubiquitin ligases interact with γ-tubulin and induce its polyubiquitination.

Thirunavukarasou A, Govindarajalu G, Singh P, Bandi V, Muthu K, Baluchamy S

Regulated polyubiquitination is a key step for controlling protein degradation and maintaining proper balance between the proliferation of normal and uncontrolled cells. Addition of ubiquitin to the proteins by E3 ubiquitin ligases targets them for degradation by the 26S proteosome machinery. Discrepancies in ubiquitination and/or proteosome degradation might lead to multiple genetic disorders in humans. It is reported that CUL1 ... [more]
