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.

PSMC3 promotes RNAi by maintaining AGO2 stability through USP14.

Argonaute 2 (AGO2), the only protein with catalytic activity in the human Argonaute family, is considered as a key component of RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Here we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen using the human Argonaute 2 PIWI domain as bait to screen for new AGO2-interacting proteins and explored the specific mechanism through a series of molecular biology and biochemistry ...
