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.

Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins are negatively regulated through SUMO-1 modification independent of the ubiquitin/26 S proteasome pathway.

Hirano Y, Murata S, Tanaka K, Shimizu M, Sato R

Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are major transcription factors that activate the genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis. We here report that the nuclear forms of SREBPs are modified by the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-1. Mutational analyses identified two major sumoylation sites (Lys(123) and Lys(418)) in SREBP-1a and a single site (Lys(464)) in SREBP-2. Mutant SREBPs lacking one ... [more]
