摘要:
All DNA's of a mutant of a sequencing target organic species (e.g., a resistant bacterium, a tumor cell, or a virus) are extracted, and shotgun libraries are generated for the DNA's. DNA fragments are sequentially fetched from these libraries, and each fragment is subjected to sequencing using an automated DNA sequencer. Fragment sequence information such as base sequences of the respective DNA fragments of the mutant output from the sequencer is stored in a fragment sequence database.
摘要:
In the present invention, a textual document is syntactically analyzed and knowledge is constructed from a single word or plural words. The knowledge is then marked, from the broken down knowledge (represented by the underscores in FIG. 1) or from a part-of-speech, as a related object (node) or a relation (edge) (represented by ‘n’ or ‘e’ shown in FIG. 1). In other words, in the present invention a textual document is treated as knowledge constructed from a single word or plural words. The knowledge extracted from the textual document is structured to form a knowledge structure (such as a graph structure constituted from nodes and edges). At least one link can be established between each of the knowledge structure elements and a semantically closest concept entry in a hierarchical concept dictionary.

A user designates two targets a relation of which the user is to search as a search start target and a search end target, respectively. The user also designates various search conditions. A binary relation database that stores binary relational information extracted, in advance, from various types of biomolecular databases (e.g., databases that store sequence information on DNAs and the like, structural information on proteins and the like, etc), compound databases (e.g., databases that store characteristics of organic compounds and the like), and literature databases (e.g., databases that store technical literatures, papers, and the like) is accessed, and knowledge between the search start target and the search end target is automatically searched.
摘要:
A method is described for enhancing degradation of telomerase. This method includes inhibiting the binding of TERT (telomerase catalytic subunit) to USP21, the binding of NEDD8-conjugated TERT to USP21, or the NEDD8 deconjugation by USP21 from NEDD8-conjugated TERT. A method of inhibiting telomerase activity is also described. The method includes utilizing the method of enhancing the degradation. A method of identifying a compound that inhibits the binding or the NEDD8 deconjugation is further described. An agent for inhibiting telomerase activity is described. An agent for preventing and/or treating diseases attributable to the enhanced telomerase activity is described and includes an inhibitory agent. Also, a method of preventing and/or treating diseases is described and includes using the inhibition method or the inhibitory agent. Further, a reagent kit is described.
摘要:
A method for promoting insulin gene transcription, which comprises the step of inhibiting binding of IPF1 and any one of proteins selected from the following group: (i) HNF3G, (ii) PHF1, and (iii) DLX4; and a method for screening a substance that promotes insulin gene transcription, which comprises the step of bringing a test substance into contact with IPF1 and/or any one of proteins selected from the following group under a condition that allows the binding of IPF1 and said protein and then determining whether or not the test substance inhibits the binding of IPF1 and said protein by detecting presence or absence, or change of a signal and/or a marker generated by the binding of IPF1 and said protein in a system in which the signal and/or the marker can be detected: (i) HNF3G, (ii) PHF1, and (iii) DLX4.

摘要:
The present invention is to construct a DNA replication reaction system which is excellent in versatility and is easily used. An amino acid sequence of a PCNA monomer which is one of factors involved in DNA replication is prepared so that amino acid residues causing mutual charge repulsion constitute a site which causes, when an N terminal region of the PCNA monomer and a C terminal region of another PCNA monomer act as an interface to form a multimeric complex, an intermolecular interaction of the monomers in an interface region of the monomers.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for identifying the presence of a target gene mRNA, which comprises hybridizing one or more oligonucleic acid probes with the target gene mRNA expressed in a tissue sample, and detecting a low-molecular-weight compound label added to at least one of the bases of the oligonucleic acid probes, wherein the oligonucleic acid probes are contacted with the tissue sample for hybridization with the target gene mRNA after pretreating (prehybridizing) one or more dummy oligonucleic acids with the tissue sample, or a mixture of the oligonucleic acid probes and the dummy oligonucleic acids is contacted with the sample tissue to hybridize the oligonucleic acid probes with the target gene mRNA, and wherein the dummy oligonucleic acids are substantially equal in length with the oligonucleic acid probes, and are neither hybridizable with regions of the target gene mRNA with which the oligonucleic acid probes hybridize nor with the oligonucleic acid probes.
摘要:
An actuator having an output axis which is moved linearly by a rotatory force, and a boss for holding the above-mentioned output axis in such a way that the output axis can move linearly includes a connecting member for propagating the linear motion of the above-mentioned output axis to an external device. The above-mentioned connecting member is comprised of a joint connected to the above-mentioned output axis, and a link plate having an end rotatably connected to the above-mentioned joint, and another end rotatably connected to the external device. A mechanism for preventing rotation of the above-mentioned output axis is constructed of only a connecting portion for connecting the above-mentioned joint, the above-mentioned link plate, and the above-mentioned external device to one another.
摘要:
The task is to provide protein interaction inhibitors and/or detection method for interaction inhibitors related to regulation of T cell activation and production of IL-2. The present invention provides inhibitors of interaction between PKC theta and KPNA1, and inhibitors of interaction between KPNA1 and NF-kappaB. Inhibitors of interaction is defined as an candidate compound demonstrating the inhibition of interaction by assaying whether interaction has occurred or not between 2 types of protein and the candidate compound under the conditions allowing interaction of each combination. The detection kit is equipped with samples providing proteins of combinations to be interacted.
