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.

Erythroid-specific 5-aminolevulinate synthase protein is stabilized by low oxygen and proteasomal inhibition.

Abu-Farha M, Niles J, Willmore WG

5-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS; E.C. 2.3.1.37) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step of heme synthesis within the mitochondria. Two isozymes of ALAS, encoded by separate genes, exist. ALAS1 is ubiquitously expressed and provides heme for cytochromes and other hemoproteins. ALAS2 is expressed exclusively in erythroid cells and synthesizes heme specifically for haemoglobin. A database search for proteins potentially regulated by oxygen ... [more]
