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.

Calreticulin promotes folding/dimerization of human lipoprotein lipase expressed in insect cells (sf21).

Zhang L, Wu G, Tate CG, Lookene A, Olivecrona G

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a non-covalent, homodimeric, N-glycosylated enzyme important for metabolism of blood lipids. LPL is regulated by yet unknown post-translational events affecting the levels of active dimers. On co-expression of LPL with human molecular chaperones, we found that calreticulin had the most pronounced effects on LPL activity, but calnexin was also effective. Calreticulin caused a 9-fold increase in ... [more]
