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.

Characterization of the interactions between the glycine transporters GLYT1 and GLYT2 and the SNARE protein syntaxin 1A.

Geerlings A, Lopez-Corcuera B, Aragon C

In this study we have examined the effect of the SNARE protein syntaxin 1A on the glycine transporters GLYT1 and GLYT2. Our results demonstrate a functional and physical interaction between both glycine transporters and syntaxin 1A. Co-transfection of syntaxin 1A with GLYT1 or GLYT2 in COS cells resulted in approximately 40% inhibition in glycine transport. This inhibition was reversed by ... [more]
