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.

ARF6 activation by Galpha q signaling: Galpha q forms molecular complexes with ARNO and ARF6.

Giguere P, Rochdi MD, Laroche G, Dupre E, Whorton MR, Sunahara RK, Claing A, Dupuis G, Parent JL

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are widely expressed hepta-helical receptors with tightly regulated pleiotropic effects. ADP-Ribosylation Factor 6 (ARF6) plays an important role in GPCR trafficking and is the subject of intense research. However, the mechanisms underlying activation and regulation of ARF6 by GPCRs are poorly characterized. Here we report that Galpha(q) signaling leads to the activation of ARF6. Stimulation of ...
