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.

On the mechanism of induction of heterochromatin by the RNA-binding protein vigilin.

Zhou J, Wang Q, Chen LL, Carmichael GG

Vigilin is an RNA-binding protein localized to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus and has been previously implicated in heterochromatin formation and chromosome segregation. We demonstrate here that the C-terminal domain of human vigilin binds to the histone methyltransferase SUV39H1 in vivo. This association is independent of RNA and maps to a site on vigilin that is not involved in ... [more]
