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.

Raf-1 sets the threshold of Fas sensitivity by modulating Rok-alpha signaling.

Piazzolla D, Meissl K, Kucerova L, Rubiolo C, Baccarini M

Ablation of the Raf-1 protein causes fetal liver apoptosis, embryonic lethality, and selective hypersensitivity to Fas-induced cell death. Furthermore, Raf-1-deficient cells show defective migration as a result of the deregulation of the Rho effector kinase Rok-alpha. In this study, we show that the kinase-independent modulation of Rok-alpha signaling is also the basis of the antiapoptotic function of Raf-1. Fas activation ... [more]
