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.

ALS-linked loss of Cyclin-F function affects HSP90.

Siebert A, Gattringer V, Weishaupt JH, Behrends C

The founding member of the F-box protein family, Cyclin-F, serves as a substrate adaptor for the E3 ligase Skp1-Cul1-F-box (SCF)<sup>Cyclin-F</sup> which is responsible for ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, DNA damage and mitotic fidelity. Missense mutations in <i>CCNF</i> encoding for Cyclin-F are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, it remains elusive whether <i>CCNF</i> mutations affect the ... [more]
