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.

Retention of mutant low density lipoprotein receptor in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leads to ER stress.

Sorensen S, Ranheim T, Bakken KS, Leren TP, Kulseth MA

Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). More than 50% of these mutations lead to receptor proteins that are completely or partly retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The mechanisms involved in the intracellular processing and retention of mutant LDLR are poorly understood. In the present study ... [more]
