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.

Mutation in EGFP domain of LDL receptor-related protein 6 impairs cellular LDL clearance.

Liu W, Mani S, Davis NR, Sarrafzadegan N, Kavathas PB, Mani A

Mutation in the EGFP domain of LDL receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6(R611C)) is associated with hypercholesterolemia and early-onset atherosclerosis, but the mechanism by which it causes disease is not known. Cholesterol uptake was examined in cells from LRP6(+/-) mice and LRP6(R611C) mutation carriers. Splenic B cells of LRP6(+/-) mice have significantly lower LRP6 expression and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake than those ... [more]
