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.

Biochemical characterization of the penta-EF-hand protein grancalcin and identification of L-plastin as a binding partner.

Lollike K, Johnsen AH, Durussel I, Borregaard N, Cox JA

Grancalcin is a recently described Ca(2+)-binding protein especially abundant in human neutrophils. Grancalcin belongs to the penta-EF-hand subfamily of EF-hand proteins, which also comprises calpain, sorcin, peflin, and ALG-2. Penta-EF-hand members are typified by two novel types of EF-hands: one that binds Ca(2+) although it has an unusual Ca(2+) coordination loop and one that does not bind Ca(2+) but is ... [more]
