Abstract:
The present invention relates to the discovery of protein-protein interactions that are involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, the present invention is directed to complexes of these proteins and/or their fragments, antibodies to the complexes, diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders (including diagnosis of a predisposition to and diagnosis of the existence of the disorder), drug screening for agents which modulate the interaction of proteins described herein, and identification of additional proteins in the pathway common to the proteins described herein.

Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for determining the sequence of nucleic acids encoding interacting polypeptide sequences. Two hybrid assays are carried out to select host cells containing nucleotide sequences encoding interacting proteins. The identity of the nucleotide sequences is determined by isolating the nucleotide sequences from the selected host cells and carrying out sequencing reactions on the nucleotide sequences.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for detecting complex protein interactions and protein functional relationships, and reagents for carrying out those methods.
Abstract:
A method for identifying or screening an agonist for or antagonist to a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) which comprises allowing a test cell and a substance to be tested to coexist, and detecting a change in a ligand-dependent interaction between the PPAR and a coactivator in the test cells due to the substance to be tested by measuring the expression of a reporter gene as an index.
