摘要:
A method for producing an objective substance such as phytosphingosine and sphinganine using yeast is provided. An objective substance is produced by cultivating yeast having an ability to produce the objective substance and modified so that the expression and/or activities of proteins encoded by LCB4 and CKA2 genes are reduced in a culture medium, and collecting the objective substance from cells of the yeast and/or the culture medium.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of modulating EGFR-mediated cellular functional activity and agents useful for same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of modulating agonist induced EGFR-mediated cellular proliferation by modulating upstream intracellular sphingosine kinase signalling. The method of the invention is useful, inter alia, in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions characterised by aberrant EGFR-mediated cellular functioning, in particular aberrant EGFR-mediated cellular proliferation.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of modulating cellular activity and to agents for use therein. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of modulating the level of sphingosine kinase functional activity. In a related aspect, the present invention provides a method of modulating sphingosine kinase mediated signalling via modulation of its intracellular level of activity. The present invention still further extends to novel molecules which exhibit the capacity to induce sphingosine kinase activity. The methods and molecules of the present invention are useful, inter alia, in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions characterised by aberrant, unwanted or otherwise inappropriate cellular functional activity and/or aberrant, unwanted or otherwise inappropriate sphingosine kinase mediated signalling. The present invention is further directed to methods for identifying and/or designing agents capable of modulating the level of sphingosine kinase activity.
