The present invention relates to a method of screening for a compound allowing survival of clk1 homozygous mutant embryos; a method of screening for a compound suitable for rescue of mutant phenotype of mclk1 homozygous cell line; a method of screening for a compound suitable for partial or complete functional replacement of endogenous ubiquinone; a method for screening a compound capable of inhibiting activity of clk-1 and/or other processes required to make ubiquinone from demethoxyubiquinone; a non-ubiquinone-producer mouse; a DNA construct, which comprises an alteration of mclk1; a non-ubiquinone-producer ES cell line; a coq-3 mutant subject non-ubiquinone producer, a method of screening for a compound suitable for complete or partial functional ubiquinone or demethoxyubiquinone replacement; a method for reducing and/or increasing ubiquinone level in a multicellular subject; a method of screening for a genetic suppressor of clk-1; and a method of screening for a genetic suppressor of coq-3.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for screening modulators of 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DMQ) hydroxylation activity, inhibitors and activators of the activity, and methods of using such compounds. More particularly, this invention relates to modulators of and UbiF and CLK-1 enzyme activity and methods of identifying same.
摘要:
The invention relates to the field of oxidative stress disorder and more specifically to isolated cells from clk-1 +/− animals that do not express CLK1. The invention also relates to methods for treating a subject or a diseased tissue in need of treatment for oxidative stress disorder using isolated clk-1 −/− cells from clk-1 +/− animals.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the characterization of mutants in the genes isp-1 and ctb-1, which are genes that have a function at the level of cellular physiology, mitochondrial respiration and electron transport, and resistance to oxidative stress, as well as regulating developmental, behavioral, reproductive and aging rates. Mutations in the genes isp-1 and ctb-1 are also provided. These genes and the protein they encode are used in a perspective of growth and aging control and in a therapeutic perspective for diseases in which mitochondrial function is altered. There is also provided methods of identification of compounds for the manipulation of the function of the isp-1 and ctb-1 genes and their protein products, as well as for the manipulation of the functions of mitochondria.
