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.

Int6 regulates both proteasomal degradation and translation initiation and is critical for proper formation of acini by human mammary epithelium.

INT6/EIF3E has been implicated in breast tumorigenesis, but its functional activities remain poorly defined. We found that, repressing INT6 expression induced transformed properties in normal human mammary epithelium (MCF10A); in contrast, Int6 silencing induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. As in fission yeast, Int6 in human cells was required for assembly of active proteasomes. A reverse-phase protein array screen identified SRC3/AIB1 ... [more]
