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 dimerization of metabotropic glutamate receptors using an N-terminal truncation of mGluR1alpha.

Robbins MJ, Ciruela F, Rhodes A, McIlhinney RA

The metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR1alpha in membranes isolated both from rat brain and from cell lines transfected with cDNA coding for the receptor migrates as a disulphide-bonded dimer on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. Dimerization of mGluR1alpha takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum because it is not prevented by exposing transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells to the drug brefeldin ... [more]
