摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for modulating the interaction between at least two proteins, wherein at least one of the two proteins is a functional cell-surface receptor and the other protein is the receptor ligand. The invention features a binding site of said functional cell-surface receptor on the receptor ligand and discloses a series of amino acid sequences, which are part of the structure of said binding site and/or involved in the interaction between the receptor and the ligand. Moreover, the present invention features methods for molecular design and screening of a candidate compound capable of modulating the interaction between the functional cell-surface receptor and receptor ligand through the described binding site, and provides a screening assay for identification of such a compound. The invention further describes an antibody capable of binding to the above binding site and/or to an epitope comprising an amino acid sequence essential for executing the receptor ligand interaction through said binding site. The invention also concerns a variety of uses of the disclosed methods, peptide sequences and antibodies. The invention in preferred embodiments concerns the binding site of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) on FGFR ligands, compounds capable of modulating the receptor ligand interaction through said binding site, and antibody capable of recognition of said binding site.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds capable of stimulating survival of cells presenting the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) or an NCAM-ligand (counter-receptor), such as neurons. Further, the present invention relates to the use of pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments in the treatment or protection of cells presenting NCAM or NCAM ligands. More particularly the invention describes the use of a compound comprising a peptide comprising at least 5 contiguous amino acid residues from an amino acid sequence of NCAM, a fragment thereof, or a variant thereof or a mimic thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for preventing cell death of cells presenting said NCAM or an NCAM ligand.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel compounds comprising at most 13 contiguous amino acid residues derived from the fibronectin type 3,11 module of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), or a variant or fragment thereof, capable of interacting with an FGFR and thereby the compounds are capable of inducing differentiation, modulating proliferation, stimulate regeneration, neuronal plasticity or survival of cells. Further, the present invention relates to the use of the compounds for production of a medicament for treatment of conditions and diseases, in which NCAM or FGFR play a prominent role.
