摘要:
Methods are provided for identifying agents that modulate signaling mediated by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and members of the TGF-β family, such as bone morphogenic protein (BMP). Such agents may be identified using screens that evaluate candidate agents for the ability to modulate Smad protein degradation. Agents identified as described herein may be used to augment or inhibit signaling mediated by one or more TGF-β family members in a variety of cell types and for therapeutic purposes.

The present invention generally relates to compounds and compositions useful for the modulation of ligase activity. The invention further relates to Compounds of the Invention, compositions thereof, and methods for treating or preventing cancer, a neoplastic disorder, acute or chronic renal failure, an inflammatory disorder, an immune disorder, a cardiovascular disease, an effect of aging or an infectious disease comprising administering an effective amount of a Compound of the Invention. The invention further relates to the use of a Compound of the Invention as a preservative of a cell, blood, tissue or an organ or as an agent to modulate stem cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the discovery, identification and characterization of nucleotide sequences that encode novel substrate-targeting subunits of ubiquitin ligases. The invention encompasses nucleotides encoding novel substrate-targeting subunits of ubiquitin ligases: FBP1, FBP2, FBP3, FBP4, FBP5, FBP6, FBP7, FBP8, FBP9, FBP10, FBP11, FBP12, FBP13, FBP14, FBP15, FBP16, FBP17, FBP18, FBP19, FBP20, FBP21, FBP22, FBP23, FBP24, and FBP25, transgenic mice, knock-out mice, host-cell expression systems and proteins encoded by the nucleotides of the novel substrate-targeting subunits. The present invention relates to screening assays that use novel and known substrate-targeting subunits of ubiquitin ligases to identify potential therapeutic agents such as small molecules, compounds or derivatives and analogues of the novel and known ubiquitin ligases which modulate activity of the novel and known ubiquitin ligases for the treatment of proliferative and differentiative disorders, such as cancer, major opportunistic infections, immune disorders, certain cardiovascular diseases, and inflammatory disorders. The invention further encompasses therapeutic protocols and pharmaceutical compositions designed to target ubiquitin ligases and their substrates for the treatment of proliferative and differentiative disorders.

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.
