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.

Signal recognition particle protein 19 is imported into the nucleus by importin 8 (RanBP8) and transportin.

Dean KA, von Ahsen O, Goerlich D, Fried HM

The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a cytoplasmic RNA-protein complex that targets proteins to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Although SRP functions in the cytoplasm, RNA microinjection and cDNA transfection experiments in animal cells, as well as genetic analyses in yeast, have indicated that SRP assembles in the nucleus. Nonetheless, the mechanisms responsible for nuclear-cytoplasmic transport of SRP RNA and SRP ... [more]
