The present application provides a method of assaying pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) activity in a mammalian cell that expresses human sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) comprising measuring a level of a dihydrolipoyllysine acetyltransferase (DLAT) lipoamide peptide comprising the amino acid sequence TDK[lipoyl]AT in the cell. The present application also demonstrates that sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) acts as a cellular lipoamidase that negatively regulates pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) activity through hydrolysis of its lipoamide cofactors.

摘要:
The present invention refers to a method and a kit for the diagnosis of a hepatic disease utilizing the sulfydryl-oxidizing property of serum. Sulfydryl can be oxidized by serum, due to the QSOXs and other macromolecules or small molecules in serum. The specific activity of QSOXs in serum can be detected by fluorescent quantification using Amplex UltraRed (AUR), horseradish perioxidase, dithiothreitol, and tween as key reagents. The total dithiol oxidated capacity of the serum can be detected by colorimetric quantification using dithiothreitol, dithio-bis-nitrobenzoic acid, and guanidine hydrochloride as key reagents. The present invention shows that the specific activity of QSOXs in serum and the total dithiol oxidated capacity of the serum can be used for the diagnosis of hepatic disease, wherein the total dithiol oxidated capacity of the serum shows better diagnostic effect. The present invention also refers to a kit for the diagnosis of a hepatic disease, comprising a key reagent including phosphate buffer, Amplex UltraRed (AUR), horseradish perioxidase, dithiothreitol, and tween; or including guanidine hydrochloride, dithio-bis-nitrobenzoic acid, and dithiothreitol, etc.
摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a subject suffering from a Mycobacterium infection by administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of a degradative autophagy agonist or a secretory autophagy antagonist. In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a subject suffering from one or more diseases selected from the group consisting of a Mycobacterium infection, an inflammatory disorder, an immune disorder, a cancer and a neurodegenerative disorder by administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of a TBK-1 antagonist (e.g. BX795 or amlexanox). Related pharmaceutical compositions, diagnostic and screening assays and kits are also provided.

Specifically disclosed are GSNOR deletion constructs, host cells and non-human mammals comprising GSNOR deletions, and methods of screening employing GSNOR deletion mutants. Also specifically disclosed are reagents and procedures for measuring, monitoring, or altering GSNOR levels or activity (as well as nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiol levels) in connection with various medical conditions.
摘要:
A diagnostic kit for biomarkers of beneficial vaginal health is described. The kit includes a first detection zone within which a D-lactic acid detection signal is capable of being generated, wherein the presence or quantity of D-lactic acid, is determinable from the D-lactic acid detection signal. The kit further includes a second detection zone within which a hydrogen peroxide detection signal is capable of being generated, wherein the presence or quantity of hydrogen peroxide, is determinable from the hydrogen peroxide detection signal.
摘要:
Human SCD genes are identified as modulators of the p53 pathway, and thus are therapeutic targets for disorders associated with defective p53 function. Methods for identifying modulators of p53, comprising screening for agents that modulate the activity of SCD are provided.
