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.

The C-terminal RGG domain of human Lsm4 promotes processing body formation stimulated by arginine dimethylation.

Arribas-Layton M, Dennis J, Bennett EJ, Damgaard CK, Lykke-Andersen J

Processing Bodies (PBs) are conserved cytoplasmic aggregations of translationally repressed mRNAs assembled with mRNA decay factors. The aggregation of mRNA-protein (mRNP) complexes into PBs involves interactions between low complexity regions of protein components of the mRNPs. In Saccharomyes cerevisiae, the carboxy- (C-)terminal Q/N-rich domain of the Lsm4 subunit of the Lsm1-7 complex plays an important role in PB formation, but ... [more]
