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 Cul4-DDB1-WDR3/WDR6 Complex Binds SPAK and OSR1 Kinases in a Phosphorylation-Dependent Manner.

Dhiani BA, Mehellou Y

SPAK and OSR1 are two protein kinases that play critical roles in regulating ion homeostasis. They are activated under osmotic stress through phosphorylation by their upstream WNK kinases at a conserved threonine site on their T-loops. Additionally, WNK kinases phosphorylate SPAK and OSR1 at a highly conserved serine residue on their S-motif, the function of which remains elusive. Using affinity ... [more]
