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.

Activation and association of the Tec tyrosine kinase with the human prolactin receptor: mapping of a Tec/Vav1-receptor binding site.

Kline JB, Moore DJ, Clevenger CV

Stimulation of the PRL receptor (PRLr) results in the activation of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) p95Vav1 with corresponding alterations in cytoarchitecture and cell motility. To better understand the mechanisms involved in the regulation of Vav1 activity, the role of the tyrosine kinase p70Tec was examined. Coimmunoprecipitation and in vitro kinase assays revealed that ligand stimulation of the PRLr ... [more]
