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.

Interaction between tyrosine kinase Etk and a RUN domain- and FYVE domain-containing protein RUFY1. A possible role of ETK in regulation of vesicle trafficking.

Yang J, Kim O, Wu J, Qiu Y

Etk/BMX tyrosine kinase is involved in regulation of various cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, motility, and apoptosis. Through a yeast two-hybrid screening for the effectors of Etk, a new gene family designated as RUFY was identified. The RUFY gene family (RUFY1 and RUFY2) contains an N-terminal RUN domain and a C-terminal FYVE domain with two coiled-coil domains in-between. They appear ... [more]
