TL;DR: Far western blotting (WB) was derived from the standard WB method to detect protein–protein interactions in vitro and allows prey proteins to be endogenously expressed without purification.

TL;DR: Kinesin-2 is a linker between PC2 and FPC and mediates the regulation of PC2 channel function by FPC, which may be important for elucidating common molecular pathways for PKD of different genotypes.

TL;DR: It is discovered that both intracellular N- and C-termini of PC2 associate with alpha-actinins, actin-binding and actin -bundling proteins important in cytoskeleton organization, cell adhesion, proliferation and migration.

TL;DR: The unusual substrate specificity and close sequence identity with GLUT5 suggest that GLUT7 represents an intermediate between class II GLUTs and the class I member GLUT2, and comparison between these proteins may provide key information as to the structural determinants for the recognition of fructose as a substrate.

TL;DR: Physical and functional interactions between TRPP3 and α‐actinin, an actin‐bundling protein known to regulate several types of ion channels, are investigated, finding that α‐actsinin not only attaches TR PP3 to the cytoskeleton but also up‐regulates TRPP 3 channel function.
