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.

The epsilon subtype of protein kinase C is required for cardiomyocyte connexin-43 phosphorylation.

Doble BW, Ping P, Kardami E

Gap junctions (GJs), composed of connexins, are intercellular channels ensuring electric and metabolic coupling between cardiomyocytes. We have shown previously that an endogenous mitogenic and cardioprotective protein, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), decreases cardiomyocyte GJ permeability by stimulating phosphorylation of connexin-43 (Cx43). Identifying the kinase(s) phosphorylating cardiac Cx43 may thus provide a way of modulating cardiac intercellular communication. Because FGF-2 activates ... [more]
