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.

Ubiquitin specific protease 5 negatively regulates the IFNs-mediated antiviral activity via targeting SMURF1.

Type I interferons are broadly used for antiviral therapy in clinical. However, the IFNs-mediated antiviral efficacy is commonly restricted by negative regulators. Here, we show that the ubiquitin-specific protease 5 (USP5) inhibits the IFNs-induced p-STAT1 activation (phosphorylation at tyrosine site of STAT1) and its downstream antiviral genes expression. We clarify that USP5 physically interacts with SMURF1 (Smad ubiquitination regulating factor ... [more]
