    Abstract: Disclosed is a 178 kDa glucose-inducible human fatty acid synthase (FAS) mRNA binding protein which has been purified to homogeneity and its binding element characterized. This large phosphoprotein binds to a novel repetitive element in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of the FAS mRNA. In particular, the binding has been mapped to a 37 nucleotide stretch within the first 65 bases of the 3′ UTR of mRNA. The binding protein is useful for mediating FAS expression, for regulating lipoprotein secretion and cell growth and for screening of test compounds for activity as inhibitors of FAS.

    Abstract: Nucleic acid from which a polypeptide with utrophin function can be expressed, especially mini-genes and chimaeric constructs. Expression significantly decreases the severity of the dystrophic muscle phenotype in an animal model, indicating usefulness in treatment of muscular dystrophy. The nucleic acid and encoded polypeptides are also useful in screening for substances to modulate utrophin binding to actin and/or the dystrophin protein complex.

    Abstract: A method for isolating a polynucleotide of interest that is present in the genome of a first mycobacterium strain and/or is expressed by the first mycobacterium strain, where the polynucleotide of interest is also absent or altered in the genome of a second mycobacterium strain and/or is not expressed in the second mycobacterium. The method includes (a) contacting the genomic DNA of the first mycobacterium strain under hybridizing conditions with the DNA of a least one clone that belongs to a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) genomic DNA library of the second mycobacterium strain, and (b) isolating the polynucleotide of interest that does not form a hybrid with the DNA of the second mycobacterium strain. This invention further pertains to a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv genomic DNA library, as well as a Mycobactetium bovis BCG strain Pasteur genomic DNA library, and the recombinant BAC vectors that belong to those genomic DNA libraries. This invention also relates to mycobacterial nucleic acids, and methods and kits for using these nucleic acids to detect mycobacteria in a biological sample.

    Abstract: A nucleic acid sequence encoding Mammastatin, a specific mammary cell growth inhibitor. Mammastatin is encoded by a single nucleic acid sequence and has an approximate molecular weight of 44 kDa in its inactive, non-phosphorylated form. Normal mammary cells express functional phosphorylated forms having approximate molecular weights of 53 kDa and 49 kDa. Metastatic mammary cells either do not express Mammastatin at all, or do not express the 53 kDa or 49 kDa, phosphorylated forms. Mammary cancer cells are inhibited in their growth by the administration of phosphorylated Mammastatin.
