摘要:
The present invention relates to the discovery of novel proteins of mammalian origin which are immediate downstream targets for FKBP/rapamycin complexes.
摘要:
Methods for high level expression of genes in primates are disclosed. Such methods involve expression of transgenes comprising an RSV promoter and a nucleic acid sequence that is heterologous thereto.
摘要:
Materials and methods are disclosed for regulated obstruction of the expression of a target gene or the biological effect of its gene product in genetically engineered cells or organisms containing them. Aspects of the invention are exemplified by recombinant modifications of host cells and their use in vitro and in vivo for the regulatable blockade of expression of a target gene, for interference with the function or effect of a target gene product or for the regulatable elimination of a target gene.
摘要:
New compounds are disclosed for multimerizing immunophilins and proteins containing immunophilin or immunophilin-related domains. The compounds are of the formula (I): M-L-Q, a resolved stereoisomer thereof or mixture of one or more such stereoisomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein M is an immunophilin-binding group comprising a moiety of formula (II); G is independently selected from the group consisting of (a), (b), and (c); Q comprises a moiety of formula (II), a naturally occurring macrocyclic FKBP ligand or derivative thereof, or is a synthetic FKBP ligand of formula (III); n = 1 or 2; X = O, NH or CH2; B?1 and B2¿ are independently H or aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, aryl or heteroaryl; Y = O, S, NH, -NH(C=O)-, -NH(C=O)-O-, -NH(SO¿2?)- or NR?3¿, or represents a covalent bond from R2 to carbon 9; R?1, R2, and R3¿ are the same or different and are independently aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, aryl or heteroaryl; and, L is a linker moiety covalently linking monomers M to Q or covalently linking M1 to M2 through covalent bonds to either R1, R2, not necessarily the same in each of M?1 and M2¿.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for treating various cancers. Methods encompass the administration of a first drug such as AP23573, temsirolimus or everolimus in combination with a second drug selected from Remicade, Humira, Enbrel, Raptiva, Abatacept, Actermra, Cimzia or anakinra. The methods are aimed at providing a desirable therapeutic window while maintaining prior, if not higher, dose levels of the first drug.
摘要:
This invention concerns new configurations for biological switches and provides new methods and materials useful for regulating biological events in animal cells. The invention involves recombinant DNA constructs comprising DNA sequences derived from sequences encoding the proteins FRAP, Tor1, Tor2 and other proteins capable of binding to FKBP:rapamycin, other recombinant DNA constructs comprising DNA sequences encoding part or all of an FKBP protein, the proteins encoded by those constructs, cells (especially animal cells) transformed with one or more of the constructs, small molecules (multivalent multimerizing agents) which bind to and are capable of inducing multimerization of the chimeric proteins, and methods for preparing and using the foregoing.
摘要:
This invention provides novel materials and methods involving the heterologous expression of transcription factors which are useful for effecting transcription of target genes in genetically engineered cells or organisms containing them. Target gene constructs and other materials useful for practicing the invention are also disclosed.
