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.

Flat clathrin coats on endosomes mediate degradative protein sorting by scaffolding Hrs in dynamic microdomains.

Raiborg C, Wesche J, Malerod L, Stenmark H

Endocytosed membrane proteins that are destined for degradation in lysosomes are ubiquitylated and recognised by sorting complexes on endosome membranes. The ubiquitin-binding sorting component Hrs as well as ubiquitylated cargo are enriched in a characteristic flat clathrin coat on the endosome membrane. The function of clathrin within this coat has not been investigated. Here, we show that both clathrin and ... [more]
