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.

Prohibitin co-localizes with Rb in the nucleus and recruits N-CoR and HDAC1 for transcriptional repression.

Wang S, Fusaro G, Padmanabhan J, Chellappan SP

The potential tumor suppressor protein prohibitin can prevent cell proliferation and this required its binding to the Rb protein. Prohibitin could repress the transcriptional activity of E2F family members and this required a part of the marked box region of E2F. The sub-cellular localization of prohibitin has been variously attributed to the mitochondria as well as the inner cell membrane. ... [more]
