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.

Regulation of Nod1 by Hsp90 chaperone complex.

Hahn JS

Nod1 and Nod2 proteins play important roles in mammalian innate immune responses as intracellular sensors for bacterial peptidoglycan. Nod1 and Nod2 share structural homology with many R proteins involved in plant disease resistance. It has been demonstrated that plant Hsp90 and its co-chaperone RAR1 are implicated in R-mediated disease resistance. Here the Chp-1 gene encoding a mammalian homologue of plant ... [more]
