摘要:
Provided herein are methods for predicting the LKB1 status of a patient or a biological sample, comprising the measurement of particular gene expression levels relative to a set of reference levels that represent the gene expression level of a biological wild-type sample without LKB1 gene or protein loss or mutation and the gene expression level of a reference sample with LKB1 gene or protein loss or mutation. Further provided herein are methods for treating and/or preventing a cancer or a tumor syndrome in a patient, comprising administering an effective amount of a TOR kinase inhibitor to a patient having cancer or a tumor syndrome, characterized by particular gene expression levels.

摘要:
This invention relates to easy and reliable assays for the ubiquitination of p27. Because the assay can be performed as a plate capture assay, or as a homogenous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay, with defined, easily replicatable reaction conditions, it is particularly useful for high-throughput screening of, for example, a prospective anticancer agent. The invention provides methods to determine the amount of ubiquitination of p27, or of any protein, and use of the method to identify compounds that modulate the ubiquitination of p27, or any protein.
