摘要:
Compounds and compositions are provided for treatment or amelioration of one or more disorders characterized by defects in protein trafficking. A method of treating a disorder characterized by impaired protein trafficking includes administering to a subject or contacting a cell with a compound of Formula I: [formula here] or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or derivatives thereof.
摘要:
The invention involves a method of identifying nucleic acid sequences encoding signal peptide-containing proteins. The method features chimeric constructs containing a KRE9 gene that lacks a signal sequence. Yeast containing chimeric KRE9 plasmid constructs that encode signal sequences are selected based on their ability to grow on media in which sucrose is the sole carbon source.
摘要:
Disclosed is a yeast cell whose genetic complement includes an inactive allele of the yeast CDC7 gene, a first nucleic acid that encodes a mammalian Cdc7 protein, and a second nucleic acid that encodes a mammalian Dbf4 protein. The yeast cell is dependent on the mammalian Cdc7 and Dbf4 proteins for viability. The yeast cell can be used to identify potential anti-proliferative agents by virtue of their inhibition of the mammalian Cdc7 and Dbf4 proteins. In some embodiments, a control yeast cell which does not depend on Cdc7 for viability is used in a secondary screen.
