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 p53 target Plk2 interacts with TSC proteins impacting mTOR signaling, tumor growth and chemosensitivity under hypoxic conditions.

Tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a central promotor of cell growth and proliferation. The protein product of the TSC1 gene, hamartin (referred to as TSC1) is known to interact with Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) in a cell cycle regulated, phosphorylation-dependent manner. We hypothesized that the p53 target gene, Plk2, is a tumor suppressor, mediating ... [more]
