摘要:
The present invention describes an unbiased catalytic tagging system to search for target substrates. Identification of substrates for specific baits is accomplished by utilizing an orthogonal system consisting of an E1 activating enzyme, an E2 ubiquitin-like conjugating enzyme, and baits that are fused to the E2 ubiquitin-like conjugating enzyme. The present invention thus reveals important mutually antagonistic substrates of specific baits.

Methods of treating subjects with cancer and screening for MDM2 inhibitors that may be effective cancer therapeutics are provided herein. The cancers that may be treated using MDM2 inhibitors using the methods described herein include those that are or may become resistant to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Methods of treating subjects with cancers that have, or develop in response to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, elevated levels of MDM2, Mcl-1 or PP5 or decreased levels of Huwe1 or CAS using MDM2 inhibitors are provided herein. The MDM2 inhibitors may be effective at treating these cancers alone or in combination with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor regardless of p53 status (mutant or wild-type) of the cancer.
摘要:
Recombinant lentiviral vectors containing at least: a lentiviral backbone comprising essential lentiviral sequences for integration into a target cell genome; a nucleic acid encoding a CCR5 RNAi; and an expression control element that regulates expression of the nucleic acid encoding the CCR5 RNAi element, are provided by this invention. In an alternative aspect, the vector also contains polynucleotides encoding TRIM5 alpha and HIV TAR decoy sequences along with gene expression regulation elements such as promoters operatively linked to the polynucleotides. The vectors are combined with packaging plasmid and envelope plasmids and optionally conjugated to cell-specific targeting antibodies. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods for using the compositions are further provided herein.
摘要:
In certain embodiments, the present invention comprises compositions and methods useful in the generation of acyl amino acids. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides an engineered polypeptide comprising a peptide synthetase domain; in some such embodiments, the engineered polypeptide comprises only a single peptide synthetase domain. In some embodiments, the present invention provides an engineered peptide synthetase that is substantially free of a thioesterase domain, and/or a reductase domain. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides an acyl amino acid composition comprising a plurality of different forms of an acyl amino acid. In some such compositions, substantially all of the acyl amino acids within the composition contain the same amino acid moiety and differ with respect to acyl moiety. We also described populations where the fatty acid is for example 95% one length (C14, myristic).
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of an inhibitor of Rad18 expression or activity, in treating a tumor or in sensitizing a patient affected with a tumor, to a treatment with an antineoplastic agent that is a DNA damaging chemotherapeutic agent so to both reduce the self renewal of cancer stem cells and increase the DNA damage response thus boosting apoptotic cell death.
摘要:
This present technology relates to the use of inflammation-enabling polypeptides (or their coding sequences) to screen for agents useful for the prevention, treatment and/or alleviations of symptoms associated with an inflammatory disorder, to identify individuals susceptible of developing an exacerbated inflammatory response as well as to determine if a therapeutic regimen is capable of preventing, treating or alleviating the symptoms associated to an inflammatory disorder in an individual. The present technology also provides methods for preventing, treating and/or alleviating the symptoms associated to an inflammatory condition based on the inhibition of expression or activity of the inflammation-enabling targets.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a polypeptide or polypeptide complex, comprising at least one non-ribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS) amino acid module functionally connected to at least one pigment module. The present invention further relates to a labeled oligopeptide comprising a non-naturally attached NRPS pigment or/and polyketide pigment, to a polynucleotide encoding a fusion polypeptide, a vector, preferably an expression vector, comprising the polynucleotide of the present invention and to a host cell comprising the polypeptide or polypeptide complex and/or the polynucleotide, and/or the vector according to the present invention. Moreover, the present invention relates to in vitro and in vivo method of producing a labeled oligopeptide, as well as to methods of optimizing the same.
