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.

Dynamic regulation of ubiquitylation and deubiquitylation at the central spindle during cytokinesis.

Mukai A, Mizuno E, Kobayashi K, Matsumoto M, Nakayama KI, Kitamura N, Komada M

During cytokinesis, the central spindle, a bundle of interdigitated anti-parallel microtubules between separating chromosomes, recruits various cytokinetic regulator proteins to the cleavage region. Here, we show that the level of protein ubiquitylation is strikingly and transiently elevated in Aurora B kinase-positive double-band regions of the central spindle during cytokinesis. Two deubiquitylating enzymes UBPY and AMSH, which act on endosomes in ... [more]
