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.

Investigation of a functional requirement for isoprenylation by the human prostacyclin receptor.

Miggin SM, Lawler OA, Kinsella BT

In the current study, we have established that the human (h) prostacyclin receptor (IP) is isoprenylated in whole cells. Through site directed mutagenesis and generation of the isoprenylation defective hIPSSLC, it was established that while isoprenylation of hIP does not influence ligand binding, it is obligatory for agonist activation of adenylyl cyclase and cAMP generation. Overexpression of GalphaS significantly augmented ... [more]
