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.

Melanophilin directly links Rab27a and myosin Va through its distinct coiled-coil regions.

Rab GTPases regulate the membrane transport pathways by recruiting their specific effector proteins. Melanophilin, a putative Rab effector, has recently been identified as a gene that is mutated in leaden mice, in which peripheral localization of melanosomes is impaired in melanocytes. Genetic studies suggest that three coat-color mutation genes, dilute (MyoVa(d)), ashen (Rab27a(ash)), and leaden (Mlph(ln)), act in the same ... [more]
