Affinity Capture-MS

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 is identified by mass spectrometric methods.

Role of SUMO activating enzyme in cancer stem cell maintenance and self-renewal.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have key roles in treatment resistance, tumour metastasis and relapse. Using colorectal cancer (CC) cell lines, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tissues and patient tissues, here we report that CC CSCs, which resist chemoradiation, have higher SUMO activating enzyme (E1) and global SUMOylation levels than non-CSCs. Knockdown of SUMO E1 or SUMO conjugating enzyme (E2) inhibits CC CSC ... [more]

Quantitative Score

  • 3.36 [Custom Score]

Throughput

  • High Throughput

Additional Notes

  • Oct1 was affinity purified and associated proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. The method of scoring used was not indicated, but scoring was presumably performed by the Proteome Discoverer 1.4 software. Higher scores presumably indicate higher confidence in the interaction.
