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.

Reversible dissociation of coatomer: functional characterization of a beta/delta-coat protein subcomplex.

Pavel J, Harter C, Wieland FT

COPI-coated vesicles mediate protein transport within the early secretory pathway. Their coat consists of ADP ribosylation factor (ARF1, a small guanosine nucleotide binding protein), and coatomer, a cytosolic complex composed of seven subunits, alpha- to zeta-coat proteins (COPs). For coat formation that initiates budding of a vesicle, ARF1 is recruited to the Golgi membrane from the cytosol in its GTP-bound ... [more]
