摘要:
DNA comprising the naturally occurring nucleotide sequence coding for amino acids 44-90 of .beta.-lipotropin and including the entire coding region for .beta.-endorphin with the exception of the C-terminal glutamine was modified, transferred to an expression transfer vector, and expressed as a fusion protein. The fusion protein was further modified in vitro to yield mature .beta.-endorphin. .beta.-endorphin was purified from a bacterial lysate. The structure and biological activity of the resulting product was proven by immunological assay, and by two independent assays designed to demonstrate biological activity.

摘要:
A technique suitable for cloning a cDNA having a base sequence coding for the ACTH/LPH precursor is disclosed. The invention is exemplified by the cloning of a cDNA fragment comprising a base sequence coding for the endorphin region. The fragment, hereinafter termed the endorphin gene cDNA sequence, was obtained from cultured mouse pituitary tumor cells known to produce the ACTH/LPH precursor protein.
摘要:
The present invention involves the discovery that synthetic thyroid hormones can be used as compositions to reduce intraocular pressure in vivo. Methods of screening synthetic thyroid hormones for effect on intraocular pressure, aqueous pressure, hydraulic conductivity, hyaluronic acid secretion, and extracellular matrix assembly are provided. Methods of treating glaucoma and treating excess intraocular pressure with synthetic thyroid hormones and compositions therefore are also provided.
摘要:
This invention pertains to agonists that activate nuclear receptors. These agonists include an extension that contacts a region of the nuclear receptor outside the native ligand binding pocket. Methods for producing, identifying and designing such agonists are included along with nuclear receptor agonist complexes and libraries of agonists.
摘要:
The present invention provides new methods, particularly computational methods, and compositions for the generation of nuclear receptor synthetic ligands based on the three dimensional structure of nuclear receptors, particularly the thyroid receptor (herein referred to as “TR”). Also provided are crystals, nuclear receptor synthetic ligands, and related methods.
