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.

Tumor suppressor SPOP ubiquitinates and degrades EglN2 to compromise growth of prostate cancer cells.

Zhang L, Peng S, Dai X, Gan W, Nie X, Wei W, Hu G, Guo J

EglN prolyl hydroxylases, a family of oxygen-sensing enzymes, hydroxylate distinct proteins to modulate diverse physiopathological signals. Aberrant regulations of EglNs result in multiple human diseases, including cancer. Different from EglN1 which function largely depends on the role of hypoxia-induce factor alpha (HIFα) in tumors, the functional significance and the upstream regulatory mechanisms of EglN2, especially in prostate cancer setting, remain ...
