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.

Ubiquitin ligase SPSB4 diminishes cell repulsive responses mediated by EphB2.

Okumura F, Joo-Okumura A, Obara K, Petersen A, Nishikimi A, Fukui Y, Nakatsukasa K, Kamura T

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their ephrin ligands are overexpressed in various human cancers, including colorectal malignancies, suggesting important roles in many aspects of cancer development and progression as well as in cellular repulsive responses. The ectodomain of EphB2 receptor is cleaved by metalloproteinases (MMPs) MMP-2/MMP-9 and released into the extracellular space after stimulation by its ligand. The remaining membrane-associated ...
