    摘要: Novel gene deletions and translocations involving chromosome 2 resulting in fusion proteins combining part of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) kinase with part of a secondary protein have been identified herein in human solid tumors, e.g. non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Secondary proteins include Echinoderm Microtubule-Associated Protein-Like 4 (EML-4) and TRK-Fusion Gene (TFG). The EML4-ALK fusion protein, which retains ALK tyrosine kinase activity, was confirmed to drive the proliferation and survival of NSCLC characterized by this mutation. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ALK kinase polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The disclosed identification of this new fusion protein enables methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining the presence of at least one distinct polypeptide in a biological sample comprising contacting the biological sample with a hydrolyzing agent, wherein the hydrolyzing agent is capable of hydrolyzing the distinct polypeptide in a sequence-specific manner such that at least one distinct peptide having a predetermined peptide measured accurate mass would result if the at least one distinct polypeptide were present in the biological sample, to obtain a hydrolyzed sample; bringing the hydrolyzed sample in contact with a substrate comprising at least one immobilized binding partner, wherein the at least one immobilized binding partner is capable of specifically binding the distinct peptide; removing the hydrolyzed sample from the substrate in a manner such that the distinct peptide would remain bound to the immobilized binding partner; contacting the substrate with an elution solution, wherein the distinct peptide would dissociate from the immobilized binding partner into the elution solution; subjecting a portion of the elution solution to liquid chromatography to segregate a plurality of molecules in the portion of the elution solution to obtain sorted molecules; determining the measured accurate mass of at least one sorted molecule present in the elution solution; and determining the presence of the at least one distinct polypeptide in the biological sample when a measured accurate mass of at least one molecule is substantially equal to the predetermined peptide measured accurate mass.

    摘要: The disclosure provides methods for detecting the concurrent presence of at least two targets within a biological sample. The method includes contacting said biological sample with a first binding agent, said first binding agent operably linked to a first sortase molecule, wherein said first binding agent specifically binds to a first target; contacting said biological simple with a second binding agent, said second binding agent operably linked to a first sortase recognition sequence peptide, wherein said second binding agent specifically binds to a second target; adding a sortase substrate under conditions where a first sortase-mediated ligation of the sortase substrate to the first sortase recognition sequence will produce a ligation product, and detecting the ligation product, wherein detection of said ligation product indicates the concurrent presence of the first target and the second target in the biological sample. Also disclosed are kits comprising reagents for performing the methods as claimed.

    摘要: The invention provides the identification of the presence of mutant ROS protein in human cancer. In some embodiments, the mutant ROS are FIG-ROS fusion proteins comprising part of the FIG protein fused to the kinase domain of the ROS kinase. In some embodiments, the mutant ROS is the overexpression of wild-type ROS in cancerous tissues (or tissues suspected of being cancerous) where, in normal tissue of that same tissue type, ROS is not expressed or is expressed at lower levels. The mutant ROS proteins of the invention are anticipated to drive the proliferation and survival of a subgroup of human cancers, particularly in cancers of the liver (including bile duct), pancreas, kidney, and testes. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ROS polypeptides (e.g., a FIG-ROS(S) fusion polypeptide), probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The identification of the mutant ROS polypeptides enables new methods for determining the presence of these mutant ROS polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides, which are also provided by the invention.

The method includes the step of immunizing a host with a degenerate peptide library antigen featuring (i) a fixed target motif containing one or more invariant amino acids including at least one modified amino acid, and (ii) a plurality of degenerate amino acids flanking the motif. Motif-specific, context-independent antibodies produced by the disclosed method are also provided. The method encompasses motifs consisting of a single modified amino acid, as well as short motifs comprising multiple invariant amino acids including one or more modified amino acids, such as all or part of kinase consensus substrate motifs, protein-protein binding motifs, or other cell signaling motifs.
