摘要:
The invention discloses 426 novel acetylation sites identified in signal transduction proteins and pathways underlying human protein acetylation signaling pathways, and provides acetylation-site specific antibodies and heavy-isotope labeled peptides (AQUA peptides) for the selective detection and quantification of these acetylated sites/proteins, as well as methods of using the reagents for such purpose. Among the acetylation sites identified are sites occurring in the following protein types: Methyltransferases, Transcription factors, Transcription coactivators, Translation initiation complex proteins, Oxireductases, Protein kinases, RNA binding proteins, Secreted proteins, Transferases, Transporter proteins, Ubiquitin conjugating system proteins, Motor proteins, Phosphotases, Proteases, Phospholipases, Receptor proteins and Vesicle proteins.
摘要:
The invention discloses 364 novel phosphorylation sites identified in carcinoma, peptides (including AQUA peptides) comprising a phosphorylation site of the invention, antibodies specifically bind to a novel phosphorylation site of the invention, and diagnostic and therapeutic uses of the above.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and materials that enhance a plant's resistance to certain pathogens. A novel pathway is described and has been designated with the acronym, SI-SAR pathway, for salicylic acid-independent systemic acquired resistance. DNA constructs and methodologies are provided that facilitate the identification of compounds that activate this pathway. Methods are provided to enable the identification of novel genes and signaling components that are expressed when the SI-SAR pathway is activated. Transgenic plants with altered expression of these novel genes or signaling components of the pathway are expected to have enhanced resistance to plant pathogens. Also provided is a novel, pathogen-induced epoxide hydrolase that is inducible in the absence of SA.
