摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently identifying a polyubiquitinated substrate which is generally not easily identified. The method for identifying a polyubiquitinated substrate includes (1) a step of expressing a trypsin-resistant polyubiquitin chain-binding protein and a ubiquitin ligase in a cell, (2) a step of isolating a complex that contains the trypsin-resistant polyubiquitin chain-binding protein from the cell having undergone the step (1), (3) a step of subjecting the complex isolated by the step (2) to trypsin digestion, and (4) a step of identifying a peptide that has a ubiquitination site from a digested material obtained by the step (3).

The instant invention provides a method for establishing safety profiles for chemical compounds, as well as pharmacological profiling said method comprising (A) testing the effects of said chemical compounds on the amount and/or post-translational modifications of two or more macromolecules in intact cells; (B) constructing a pharmacological profile based on the results of said tests; and (C) comparing said profile to the profile(s) of drugs with established safety characteristics. Additionally, the invention is also directed to a composition comprising an assay panel, said panel comprising at least one high-content assay for the amount and/or post-translational modification of a protein and at least one high-content assay for the amount and/or subcellular location of a protein-protein interaction.

[Problem] To provide a mitochondria-function regulator effective for treatment or prevention of obesity, and a screening method therefore. [Solution] The mitochondria-function regulator of the present invention contains, as an active ingredient, a PGC-1² - protein function regulator synoviolin. The screening method of the present invention includes a step for causing a test substance to act on an adipose tissue cell or an individual animal, and measuring or detecting one or more of the following in the adipose tissue cell: (1) expression level of synoviolin; (2) a bond between synoviolin and PGC-1² protein; and (3) the ubiquitination of the PGC-1² protein by synoviolin.

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of cancer diagnosis. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the identification and use of monoubiquitination of histone 2B as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer including, but not limited to, parathyroid cancer. The present disclosure also relates to the identification of binding between CDC73 and RNF20, and the use of CDC73 and RNF20 in an assay for screening for an agent that modulates monoubiquitination of a histone protein.
摘要:
A method for the treatment of inflammation in an individual is described, for example a causal therapy of a disease or condition for which an inflammatory state is an underlying cause of the disease, or a treatment of inflammation as a symptom of a disease state, for example inflammation caused by cancer, cardiovascular disease, an infection or trauma, by treating the individual with an agent capable of attenuating the activity of Ubiquitin Serine Protease 7 (USP7) protein, in particular a USP7 inhibitor chemical.
