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.

Apolipoprotein receptor 2 and X11 alpha/beta mediate apolipoprotein E-induced endocytosis of amyloid-beta precursor protein and beta-secretase, leading to amyloid-beta production.

He X, Cooley K, Chung CH, Dashti N, Tang J

The homeostasis of amyloid-beta (Abeta) in the brain is critical to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Abeta is a fragment of amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) generated in neurons by two proteases, beta- and gamma-secretases. APP and beta-secretase, both present on cell surface, are endocytosed into endosomes to produce Abeta. The molecular mechanism by which neurons trigger the production of ... [more]
