摘要:
Conjugated compositions comprising a fragment of HIV-1 Vpr or a non-HIV-1 Vpr protein conjugated to a therapeutic compound and methods of using the same to deliver therapeutic compounds to a cell's nucleus or for the preparation of drug delivery particles are disclosed. Functional fragments of HIV-1 Vpr and functional non-HIV-1 Vpr proteins, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same are disclosed. Methods of inhibiting cell proliferation and methods of treating an individual who has a hyperproliferative disease are disclosed. Methods of identifying compounds that inhibit Vpr protein binding to the p6 domain of p55 or to p6 protein and kits for performing such methods are disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to substantially pure Human Vpr Interacting Protein (hVIP), and fragments thereof. Also disclosed are isolated nucleic acid molecules that encode hVIP, or a fragment thereof; nucleic acid probes and primers directed to nucleic acid molecules that encode hVIP, or a fragment thereof; oligonucleotide molecules that consist of a nucleotide sequence complementary to a portion of the nucleotide sequence that encodes hVIP; vectors comprising nucleic acid molecules encoding hVIP; recombinant expression vectors that comprise nucleic acid sequences that encode hVIP; host cells that comprise recombinant expression vectors which include nucleic acid sequences that encode hVIP; genetic therapy vectors comprising nucleic acid molecules encoding hVIP; isolated antibody which binds to an epitope on hVIP; pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and nucleic acid molecules complementary to a portion of hVIP; methods of making hVIP; and methods of inhibiting expression of hVIP oligonucleotides complementary to a portion of the nucleotide sequence that encodes hVIP.
摘要:
There is provided an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence at least 85% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID N: 4, or a conservative variant thereof, wherein the polypeptide regulates proliferation of a cell. There is also provided an isolated polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of the invention. There is also provided a method for inhibiting the proliferation of a cell, comprising altering the level of a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence at least 85% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 4 in the cell, thereby inhibiting proliferation of the cell.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods of identifying anti-HIV compound by contacting human Vpr Interacting Protein (hVIP), or a fragment thereof known to interact with Vpr, with Vpr, or a fragment thereof known to interact with hVIP in the presence of a test compound, and comparing the affinity of the hVIP or fragment thereof to the Vpr or fragment thereof in the presence of the test compound with the affinity of the hVIP or fragment thereof to the Vpr or fragment thereof in the absence of the test compound. The present invention also provides transgenic non-human mammals comprising a recombinant expression vector that comprises a nucleic acid sequence that encodes hVIP.
