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.

OTUD6A Is an Aurora Kinase A-Specific Deubiquitinase.

Kim HJ, Kim J

Aurora kinases are serine/threonine kinases required for cell proliferation and are overexpressed in many human cancers. Targeting Aurora kinases has been a therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment. Here, we attempted to identify a deubiquitinase (DUB) that regulates Aurora kinase A (Aurora-A) protein stability and/or kinase activity as a potential cancer therapeutic target. Through pull-down assays with the human DUB library, ... [more]
