摘要:
This invention relates to methods of determining the prognosis of a subject with a Pin1 associated disorder by evaluating the levels of phosphorylated Pin1 in a biological sample. The invention also provides Pin1 polypeptides phosphorylated position 16, position 71, or both. The invention further relates to a crystal structure of a pPin1(71) polypeptide and a pPin1(16)(71) polypeptide. The invention also provides constitutively active mutants of Pin1 and modulators that are specific for the molecules. The invention further provides methods for determining if a subject is at risk of developing a Pin1 associated state by determining if a the subject has a mutation in Pin1 that renders the polypeptide constitutively active.
摘要:
The instant invention pertains to the discovery of two novel regulatory mechanisms of NF-kB. The instant invention demonstrates that NF-kB is regulated by PinI-catalyzed prolyl isomerization and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of p65. Accordingly, the instant invention provides methods for regulating NF-kB, and diseases and disorders associated with NF-kB. Further, the invention provides compositions capable of modulating the activity or expression of NF-kB, Pinl, and/or the proteolysis of p65.
