摘要:
The present invention provides novel polynucleotides encoding HGPRBMY23 polypeptides, fragments and homologues thereof. Also provided are vectors, host cells, antibodies, and recombinant and synthetic methods for producing said polypeptides. The invention further relates to diagnostic and therapeutic methods for applying these novel HGPRBMY23 polypeptides to the diagnosis, treatment, and/or prevention of various diseases and/or disorders related to these polypeptides, particularly renal diseases and/or disorders, colon cancer, breast cancer, and diseases and disorders related to aberrant NFKB modulation. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention provides peptides that specifically bind to BACE at a newly discovered exosite. The invention also provides methods for identifying peptides that bind to a BACE exosite. The invention further provides methods for identifying compounds that bind to a BACE exosite and modulate BACE activity. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for treating or preventing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease by administering compounds that bind to a BACE exosite and modulate BACE activity.
摘要:
A two-hybrid system that can detect homo- and heterodimeric protein interactions in E. coli and other cells. This system is useful for the same applications as a yeast two-hybrid system; i.e. interaction cloning, mapping protein interaction domains, analyzing protein interactions, detecting protein interactions and detecting modulators thereof. The invention concerns a prokaryotic host cell comprising:(a) a fusion protein having (i) a first DNA-binding domain and (ii) a first interacting domain;(b) a fusion protein having (i) a second DNA-binding domain and (ii) a second interacting domain capable of binding to the first interacting domain; and(c) a nucleic acid molecule having a reporter gene operatively linked to (i) a promoter, (ii) a first operator site capable of binding to the first DNA-binding domain, located upstream of the promoter, and (iii) a second operator site capable of binding the second DNA-binding domain, located downstream of the promoter of the reporter gene;wherein binding of the first interacting domain to the second interacting domain is signaled by altered expression of the reporter gene.
