    摘要: This invention demonstrates that KRC molecules have multiple important functions as modulating agents in regulating a wide variety of cellular processes including bone formation and mineralization. TGF-β signaling in osteoblasts promotes the formation of a multimeric complex between KRC, Runx2, Smad3, and the E3 ubiquitin ligase, WWP1 which inhibits Runx2 function due to the ability of WWP1 to promote Runx2 polyubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation. Furthermore, KRC and WWP1 form a complex with RSK2 which promotes RSK2 phosphorylation and inhibits RSK2 function due to the ability of WWP 1 to promote RSK2 ubiquitination. Methods for identifying modulators of KRC activity are provided. Methods for modulating an immune response, bone formation and mineralization, and KRC-associated disorders using agents that modulate KRC expression and/or activity are also provided.

    摘要: Methods for modulating production of a T helper type 2 (Th2)-associated cytokine, in particular interleukin-4, by modulating the activity of a transcription factor, in particular the proto-oncoprotein c-Maf, that regulates expression of the Th2-associated cytokine gene are disclosed. Methods for modulating development of T helper type 1 (Th1) or T helper type 2 (Th2) subsets in a subject using agents that modulate transcription factor activity are also disclosed. The methods of the invention can further involve use of agents that modulate the activity of additional transcription factors that contribute to the regulation of Th1- or Th2-associated cytokines, such as a Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells (NF-AT) protein and/or an AP-1 family protein. Compositions for modulating Th2-associated cytokine production, recombinant expression vectors and host cells, as well as screening assays to identify agents that modulate c-Maf activity, are also disclosed.
