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.

Stasimon/Tmem41b localizes to mitochondria-associated ER membranes and is essential for mouse embryonic development.

Van Alstyne M, Lotti F, Dal Mas A, Area-Gomez E, Pellizzoni L

Stasimon (also known as Tmem41b) is an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein first identified for its contribution to motor system dysfunction in animal models of the childhood neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Stasimon was shown to be required for normal neurotransmission in the motor circuit of Drosophila larvae and proper development of motor axons in zebrafish embryos as well as ... [more]
