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.

RYK, a catalytically inactive receptor tyrosine kinase, associates with EphB2 and EphB3 but does not interact with AF-6.

Trivier E, Ganesan TS

RYK is an atypical orphan receptor tyrosine kinase that lacks detectable kinase activity. Nevertheless, using a chimeric receptor approach, we previously found that RYK can signal via the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Recently, it has been shown that murine Ryk can bind to and be phosphorylated by the ephrin receptors EphB2 and EphB3. In this study, we show that human ... [more]
