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 cellular prion protein colocalizes with the dystroglycan complex in the brain.

The function of PrP(C), the cellular prion protein (PrP), is still unknown. Like other glycophosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins, PrP resides on Triton-insoluble, cholesterol-rich membranous microdomains, termed rafts. We have recently shown that the activity and subcellular localization of the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) are impaired in adult PrP(0/0) mice as well as in scrapie-infected mice. In this study, we ... [more]
