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.

Hepatocyte Growth Factor/scatter factor-induces phosphorylation of cortactin in A431 cells in a Src kinase-independent manner.

Crostella L, Lidder S, Williams R, Skouteris GG

The Hepatocyte Growth Factor receptor transduces proliferating and scattering signals in epithelial and endothelial cells. We have explored potential interactions of the HGF/SF receptor beta-subunit (p145(beta MET)) with F-actin binding partners aiming to identify novel downstream effectors implicated in HGF/SF pluripotent signalling. Cortactin, a p80/85 F-actin binding protein, was found phosphorylated on tyrosine in response to HGF-SF in A431 human ... [more]
