    摘要: A method of suppressing the expression of a selected gene in a eukaryotic cell the method comprising introducing into the cell (a) a polypeptide comprising a DNA binding portion which binds to a site at or associated with the selected gene which site is present in a plant or animal genome and a chromatin inactivation portion, or (b) a polynucleotide encoding said polypeptide.

    摘要: The current invention provides a method for aiding in the assessment of prostate cancer (including metastatic prostate cancer) and/or benign prostate hyperplasia in a patient, wherein the method comprises the step of determining the level of Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) nucleic acid and/or protein in a sample from the patient. The invention also provides compounds that target Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) protein and/or nucleic acid for use in treating prostate cancer. Also provided are screening methods for selecting a compound considered to be useful in treating prostate cancer, comprising the steps of determining the ability of a test compound to reduce GNMT activity and selecting a compound that reduces GNMT activity. The invention also provides methods for aiding in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in a patient comprising obtaining a sample from the patient and assessing said sample for a marker of GNMT activity.
