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.

Chaperone interactions of the metalloproteinase meprin A in the secretory or proteasomal-degradative pathway.

Tsukuba T, Kadowaki T, Hengst JA, Bond JS

The secreted form of mouse meprin A is a homooligomer of meprin alpha subunits that contain a prosequence, a catalytic domain, and three domains designated as MAM (meprin, A5 protein, receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase mu), MATH (meprin and TRAF homology), and AM (AfterMath). Previous studies indicated that wild-type mouse meprin alpha is predominantly a secreted protein, while the MAM deletion mutant ... [more]
