Affinity Capture-Luminescence

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein, tagged with luciferase, is enzymatically detected in immunoprecipitates of the prey protein as light emission. The prey protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag.

Interactions between GABA-B1 receptors and Kir 3 inwardly rectifying potassium channels.

David M, Richer M, Mamarbachi AM, Villeneuve LR, Dupre DJ, Hebert TE

gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. It acts via both ionotropic GABA-A and metabotropic GABA-B receptors. We evaluated the interaction of receptors with members of the inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir 3) channel family, which also play an important role in neuronal transmission and membrane excitability. These channels are functionally regulated by GABA-B receptors. Possible ... [more]
