摘要:
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods used to modulate a NH2-terminal Jun Kinase activity. These compositions and methods can be employed to regulate metabolic disorders associated with, for example, insulin such as diabetes. The reduction in NH2-terminal Jun Kinase activity can lead to the reduction in weight and improve insulin sensitivity.

摘要:
A method of treating a metabolic disorder associated with insulin resistance by administering to a mammal an inhibitor of a NH2-terminal Jun Kinase (JNK), e.g., a compound or peptide which inhibits JNK1 expression or enzymatic activity.
摘要:
Compounds, methods for identifying compounds and methods for using compounds which modulate interaction of lethal factor and anthrolysin O in the treatment and prevention of anthrax diseases are provided.
摘要:
An isolated polypeptide (JNK) characterized by having a molecular weight of 46 kD as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE, having serine and threonine kinase activity, phosphorylating the c-Jun N-terminal activation domain and polynucleotide sequences and method of detection of JNK are provided herein. JNK phosphorylates c-Jun N-terminal activation domain which affects gene expression from AP-1 sites.

摘要:
The present invention provides a substantially purified nucleic acid molecule encoding a serine protein kinase (I&kgr;B kinase) that phosphorylates a protein (I&kgr;B) that inhibits the activity of the NF-&kgr;B transcription factor, vectors comprising such a nucleic acid molecule and host cells containing such vectors. In addition, the invention provides nucleotide sequences that can bind to a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, such nucleotide sequences being useful as probes or as antisense molecules. The invention also provides a substantially purified I&kgr;B kinase, which is a polypeptide that can phosphorylate an I&kgr;B protein, and peptide portions of the I&kgr;B kinase. In addition, the invention provides anti-I&kgr;B kinase antibodies, which specifically bind to an I&kgr;B kinase, and I&kgr;B kinase-binding fragments of such antibodies. The invention further provides methods of substantially purifying an I&kgr;B kinase, methods of identifying an agent that can alter the association of an I&kgr;B kinase with a second protein, and methods of identifying proteins that can interact with an I&kgr;B kinase.
