摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and agonist/antagonist compounds for modulating nuclear receptor coactivator binding. The invention includes a method for identifying residues comprising a coactivator binding site for a nuclear receptor of interest. Also included is a method of identifying agonists and/or antagonists that bind to a coactivator binding site of a nuclear receptor of interest. Agonists and antagonists of coactivator binding to nuclear receptors also are provided. The invention is exemplified by identification and manipulation of the coactivator binding site of the thyroid receptor (TR), and compounds that bind to this sites. The methods can be applied to other nuclear receptors including RAR, RXR, PPAR, VDR, ER, GR, PR, MR, and AR.
摘要:
The present invention involves the discovery that synthetic thyroid hormones can be used as compositions to reduce intraocular pressure in vivo. Methods of screening synthetic thyroid hormones for effect on intraocular pressure, aqueous pressure, hydraulic conductivity, hyaluronic acid secretion, and extracellular matrix assembly are provided. Methods of treating glaucoma and treating excess intraocular pressure with synthetic thyroid hormones and compositions therefore are also provided.
摘要:
This invention pertains to agonists that activate nuclear receptors. These agonists include an extension that contacts a region of the nuclear receptor outside the native ligand binding pocket. Methods for producing, identifying and designing such agonists are included along with nuclear receptor agonist complexes and libraries of agonists.

A DNA sequence encoding bovine prolactin and optionally including condons for the preceding 10 amino acids is used to construct expression systems to obtain recombinant production of these proteins.
摘要:
A technique suitable for cloning a cDNA having a base sequence coding for the ACTH/LPH precursor is disclosed. The invention is exemplified by the cloning of a cDNA fragment comprising a base sequence coding for the endorphin region. The fragment, hereinafter termed the endorphin gene cDNA sequence, was obtained from cultured mouse pituitary tumor cells known to produce the ACTH/LPH precursor protein.
