Affinity Purification of Intraflagellar Transport (IFT) Proteins in Mice Using Endogenous Streptavidin/FLAG Tags
Biological complexity is achieved through elaborate interactions between relatively few individual components. Affinity purification (AP) has allowed these networks of protein-protein interactions that regulat...

Open AccessThe Na+-activated K+ channel Slack contributes to synaptic development and plasticity
Human mutations of the Na+-activated K+ channel Slack (KCNT1) are associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Accordingly, Slack knockout mice (Slack−/−) exhibit cognitive flexibility deficits in distin...

Open AccessCharacterizing the morbid genome of ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are clinically diverse disorders of the primary cilium. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding the molecular basis of these genetically heterogeneous conditions; however, our knowledge...

Open AccessKIAA0556 is a novel ciliary basal body component mutated in Joubert syndrome
Joubert syndrome (JBTS) and related disorders are defined by cerebellar malformation (molar tooth sign), together with neurological symptoms of variable expressivity. The ciliary basis of Joubert syndrome rela...

An siRNA-based functional genomics screen for the identification of regulators of ciliogenesis and ciliopathy genes
Defects in primary cilium biogenesis underlie the ciliopathies, a growing group of genetic disorders. We describe a whole-genome siRNA-based reverse genetics screen for defects in biogenesis and/or maintenance...

Open AccessExpression of leukemia inhibitory factor in Müller glia cells is regulated by a redox-dependent mRNA stability mechanism
Photoreceptor degeneration is a main hallmark of many blinding diseases making protection of photoreceptors crucial to prevent vision loss. Thus, regulation of endogenous neuroprotective factors may be key for...

Protocol
Applying SILAC for the Differential Analysis of Protein Complexes
Pull-downs based on tag fusion proteins as well as immunoprecipitations (IP) are widely used methods to analyze protein interactions. Selectivity and specificity of both methods are compromised by nonspecific ...

Protocol
Tandem Affinity Purification of Protein Complexes from Mammalian Cells by the Strep/FLAG (SF)-TAP Tag
Isolation and dissection of native multiprotein complexes is a central theme in functional genomics. The development of the tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag has enabled efficient and large-scale purificatio...
