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.

Monitoring receptor oligomerization using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer. The human delta -opioid receptor displays constitutive oligomerization at the cell surface, which is not regulated by receptor occupancy.

McVey M, Ramsay D, Kellett E, Rees S, Wilson S, Pope AJ, Milligan G

Oligomerization of the human delta-opioid receptor and its regulation by ligand occupancy were explored following expression in HEK293 cells using each of co-immunoprecipitation of differentially epitope-tagged forms of the receptor, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer and time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer. All of the approaches identified constitutively formed receptor oligomers, and the time-resolved fluorescence studies confirmed the presence of such homo-oligomers ... [more]

An interaction is inferred when close proximity of interaction partners is detected by fluorescence resonance energy transfer between pairs of fluorophore-labeled molecules, such as occurs between CFP (donor) and YFP (acceptor) fusion proteins.
