Co-purification

An interaction is inferred from the identification of two or more protein subunits in a purified protein complex, as obtained by classical biochemical fractionation or affinity purification and one or more additional fractionation steps.

Bax releases cytochrome c preferentially from a complex between porin and adenine nucleotide translocator. Hexokinase activity suppresses this effect.

Vyssokikh MY, Zorova L, Zorov D, Heimlich G, Juergensmeier JJ, Brdiczka D

The mechanism by which external Bax releases cytochrome c is still controversial and may also depend on the type of mitochondria and the actual localisation of cytochrome c. Outer membrane porin acquires high binding affinity for hexokinase by interacting with the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) in the contact sites. (I) The hexokinase protein was thus used as a tool to ... [more]
