Co-immunoprecipitation of Plant Receptor Kinases

Methods Mol Biol. 2017:1621:109-112. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7063-6_10.

Abstract

In order to comprehend the function of a particular protein, identification of the interacting protein partners is a useful approach. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) is employed to test physical interactions between proteins. Specific antibodies or antibodies against tagged versions can be used to immunoprecipitate the proteins. In this chapter, we describe a method to carry out Co-IP using recombinant membrane proteins expressed in yeast microsomal fractions.

Keywords: Antibody; Co-immunoprecipitation; Protein interaction; Protein–protein interaction; Yeast.
