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.

UCHL1 Regulates Melanogenesis through Controlling MITF Stability in Human Melanocytes.

Seo EY, Jin SP, Sohn KC, Park CH, Lee DH, Chung JH

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is involved in many signaling pathways via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. UCHL1 is expressed in the human skin and serves as a neuronal marker; however, its functions in melanogenesis remain unknown. Here, we investigated the role of UCHL1 in melanogenesis and elucidated the underlying mechanism using human melanocytes. UCHL1 downregulation by small interfering RNA resulted in ... [more]
