摘要:
The present invention provides novel PAR 1 derived cytoprotective oligopeptides or polypeptides which typically contain at least the first 4 N-terminal residues that are substantially identical to the corresponding N-terminal residues of Met1-Arg46 deleted human PAR 1 sequence. These cytoprotective oligopeptides or polypeptides are capable of activating PAR 1 and promoting PAR 1 cytoprotective signaling activities. The invention also provides engineered cells or transgenic non-human animals which harbor in their genome an altered PAR 1 gene that is resistant to cleavage at Arg41 and/or Arg46 residues. Additionally provided in the invention are methods of screening candidate compounds to identity additional cytoprotective compounds or cytoprotective proteases. The invention further provides therapeutic use or methods of employing a PAR 1 derived cytoprotective oligopeptide or polypeptide to treat conditions associated with tissue injuries or undesired apoptosis.
摘要:
A method of screening for compounds that module expression of specific macromolecules, the “target”. The method is particularly useful in that it does not require separation of target-bound and excess ligand and therefore enables, but is not limited to, High Throughput Screening for compounds that increase or decrease the levels or amounts of a target present in a biological sample. The method can also be used for high-throughput diagnosis of a condition leading to an increase or decrease of a cellular macromolecule.
摘要:
Arylomycin analogs are provided, wherein the analogs can have broad spectrum bioactivity. Resistance to the antibiotic bioactivity of natural product arylomycin in a range of pathogenic bacterial species has been found to depend upon single amino acid mutations at defined positions of bacterial Signal Peptidases (SPases), wherein the presence of a proline residue confers arylomycin resistance. Arylomycin analogs are provided herein that can overcome that resistance and provide for a broader spectrum of antibiotic bioactivity than can natural product arylomycins such as arylomycin A2. Methods for determining if a bacterial strain is susceptible to narrow spectrum arylomycin antibiotics, or if a broad spectrum analog is required for treatment, is provided. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of bacterial infections, and methods of synthesis of arylomycin analogs, are provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides for methods, compositions, and kits for producing an induced pluripotent stem cell from a non-pluripotent mammalian cell using a 3'-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) activator or a compound that promotes glycolytic metabolism as well as other small molecules.
摘要:
Compounds that activate a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor of the subtype 1 are provided. Certain compounds selectively activate the receptor subtype 1 in relation to the sphinogosine-1-phosphate receptor subtype 3. Uses and methods of inventive compounds for treatment of malconditions wherein activation, agonism, inhibition or antagonism of the S1P1 is medically indicated are provided.
摘要:
Antibodies containing one or more modular recognition domains (MRDs) used to target the antibodies to specific sites are described. The use of the antibodies containing one or more modular recognition domains to treat disease, and methods of making antibodies containing one or more modular recognition domains are also described.
