摘要:
The present invention relates to an extracellular binding domain for an allosteric inhibitor, whereby said binding domain is derived from a single membrane span tyrosine kinase receptor. More specifically, the invention relates to an extracellular domain derived from a Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR). It further relates to the use of this domain for the identification of similar domains in the extracellular part of other tyrosine kinase receptors, and to a screening method for identification of a small compound allosteric inhibitor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the fields of protein aggregation diseases including cancer. More specifically, it concerns a screening method for identifying compounds that inhibit or disrupt co-aggregation of one or more member proteins of a disease-related protein aggregome, in particular a tumor-associated protein aggregome. Further, the invention encompasses agents and compounds identified by the screening method which can be applied to prevent or to treat protein aggregation diseases, such as cancer.
摘要:
The present invention provides a general method for the production of protein variants with a reduced aggregation propensity without affecting the thermodynamic stability of the variant with respect to the wild type protein.
