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.

Signaling transduction pathway of angiotensin II in human mesangial cells: mediation of focal adhesion and GTPase activating proteins.

Shikata Y, Shikata K, Matsuda M, Sugimoto H, Wada J, Makino H

Human mesangial cells (HMCs) respond to angiotensin II stimulation, which modulates their physiological activities, i.e., contraction and proliferation. It has been revealed that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin participate in the angiotensin II-mediated signaling and cytoskeletal rearrangements at focal adhesion. We investigated the influences of cell adhesion upon angiotensin II effects in HMCs. In adherent cells, both FAK and ... [more]
