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.

Casein kinase II activates Bik to induce death of hyperplastic mucous cells in a cell cycle-dependent manner.

Mebratu YA, Imani J, Jones JT, Tesfaigzi Y

Extensive inflammation causes epithelial cell hyperplasia in the airways and Bcl-2-interacting killer (Bik) reduces epithelial cell and mucous cell hyperplasia without affecting resting cells to restore homeostasis. These observations suggest that Bik induces apoptosis in a cell cycle-specific manner, but the mechanisms are not understood. Mice were exposed to an allergen for 3, 14, or 30 days and Bik expression ... [more]
