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.

The EphB6 receptor cooperates with c-Cbl to regulate the behavior of breast cancer cells.

Truitt L, Freywald T, DeCoteau J, Sharfe N, Freywald A

Cancer invasiveness plays a major role in the mortality of patients with solid tumors, and deregulated cell adhesion and migration are suspected to drive invasive behavior. Since Eph receptor tyrosine kinases control both cell attachment and migration, they may act to define the level of cancer invasiveness. EphB6 is an unusual Eph receptor, lacking catalytic capacity due to alterations in ... [more]

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
