The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, a compound that specifically binds to KSRP or a functional fragment thereof, and a screening method for the compound. KSRP is a novel target protein for anticancer agents; a compound capable of regulating the expression and activity of such a protein and a pharmaceutical composition containing it are highly useful for proliferative diseases, particularly as anticancer agents. By providing the novel target protein, the mechanism behind the anticancer effect that has conventionally been unexplainable can be elucidated.

摘要:
This invention provides a method for immobilizing proteins comprising: step 1 of purifying target proteins to be immobilized, which have a first tag portion and a second tag portion, with the use of the first tag portion; step 2 of activating reactive groups capable of covalently binding to the proteins on a carrier for immobilization; and step 3 of allowing a solution containing the proteins purified in step 1 to react with the carrier after step 2, wherein, in step 3, the proteins are immobilized on the carrier via interactions between the second tag portion and the site of the carrier to which the second tag portion binds and via covalent binding between the reactive groups and the proteins. This method enables the stable immobilization of various types of target proteins on a carrier regardless of the amounts of target proteins and without nonspecific immobilization of contaminating proteins.

摘要:
Disclosed in this invention are methods, systems, databases, user-interfaces, software, media, and services useful for evaluating interactions between chemical compounds and proteins and for utilizing the information resulting from such evaluation for the purpose of discovering chemical compounds for medical and other fields. An approach termed “reverse proteomics” is disclosed. This invention generates an enormously large pool of new target proteins for drug discovery, novel methods for designing of new drugs, and a previously unthinkable pool of virtually synthesized small molecules for therapeutic uses. This invention is also applicable, for example, to discovery of substitutes for environmentally hazardous chemicals, more effective agrochemicals, and healthier food additives.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of analyzing the interaction between a ligand and a target molecule, which uses a solid support wherein the ligand is immobilized via a linker cleavable by photoirradiation, particularly a method of searching and purifying a target molecule. By intervening a linker specifically cleavable by photoirradiation between the ligand molecule and the solid support, release and elution of the target molecule from the solid support without using a ligand or salt at a high concentration can be enabled, and suppression of release and elution of a nonspecific protein can be enabled.
