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.

p21-activated kinase 4 controls the aggregation of ?-synuclein by reducing the monomeric and aggregated forms of ?-synuclein: involvement of the E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-1.

Won SY, Park JJ, You ST, Hyeun JA, Kim HK, Jin BK, McLean C, Shin EY, Kim EG

Aggregation of misfolded alpha-synuclein (?-synuclein) is a central player in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, the regulatory mechanism underlying ?-synuclein aggregation has been intensively studied in Parkinson's disease (PD) but remains poorly understood. Here, we report p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) as a key regulator of ?-synuclein aggregation. Immunohistochemical analysis of human PD brain tissues revealed an inverse correlation between ... [more]
