摘要:
The present invention is based, in part, on assays we conducted that revealed compounds that may be used to treat or prevent diseases characterized by an abnormal or undesirable association of one protein with another.
摘要:
Methods of identifying compounds that disrupt aggregation of aggregation-disposed polypeptides, such as huntingtin or beta-amyloid protein, are disclosed. Furthermore, an artificial polypeptide that contains an extended polyglutamine region and DNA that encodes the polypeptide are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery of methods for identifying compounds that mediate (by promoting or inhibiting) protein-protein interaction (e.g., aggregation, dimerization, or other physiologically significant association). Compounds that mediate such interaction, which are also within the scope of the invention, can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease, disorders associated with expanded CAG repeats (such as Huntington's disease), and disorders in which polyglutamine-containing transcription factors or coactivators are undesirably active (e.g., disorders associated with homodimerization of jun or hexamerization of p53.

摘要:
The present invention is based, in part, on assays we conducted that revealed compounds that modulate (e.g., inhibit) PARP-1 and are therefore useful in treating or preventing diseases characterized by abnormal PARP-1 activity (e.g., undesirable PARP-1 activity).
摘要:
The present invention is based, in part, on our discovery of compounds that inhibit an activity of a sirtuin (e.g., compounds that inhibit or preferentially inhibit an activity of SIRT2) and are therefore believed useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with sirtuin activity. These diseases include, but are not limited to, neurological disorders such as Parkinson's Disease (PD).

摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel member of the blue-fight photoreceptor family of receptors. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human hCRY2 receptor. hCRY2 polypeptides are also provided as are vectors, host cells, antibodies, and recombinant methods for producing the same.
