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.

Mahogunin ring finger 1 suppresses misfolded polyglutamine aggregation and cytotoxicity.

Chhangani D, Nukina N, Kurosawa M, Amanullah A, Joshi V, Upadhyay A, Mishra A

Polyglutamine diseases are a family of inherited neurodegenerative diseases caused by the expansion of CAG repeats within the coding region of target genes. Still the mechanism(s) by which polyglutamine proteins are ubiquitinated and degraded remains obscure. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate that MGRN1 (mahogunin ring finger 1) E3 ubiquitin protein ligase is depleted in cells that express expanded-polyglutamine ... [more]
