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.

Degradation of survivin by the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP)-XAF1 complex.

Arora V, Cheung HH, Plenchette S, Micali OC, Liston P, Korneluk RG

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP)-associated factor 1 (XAF1) is a putative tumor suppressor in which expression is significantly reduced in human cancer cell lines and primary tumors. The proapoptotic effects of XAF1 have been attributed to both caspase-dependent and -independent means. In particular, XAF1 reverses the anti-caspase activity of XIAP, a physiological inhibitor of apoptosis. We further investigated the function ... [more]
