    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) using glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and identifying PD patients that will be most receptive to the method of treating PD. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method of treating PD in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: (a) identifying a subject having less than about 10 hours, and preferably less than about 8 hours, of on-time per day; and (b) administering to the subject a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of one or more vectors to the subthalamic nucleus of the patient, wherein each vector comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and wherein the subject's on-time is increased.

    Abstract: The invention provides polynucleotide constructs for the regulation of gene expression by aptamer-based modulation of U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-mediated suppression of polyadenylation and methods of using the constructs to regulate gene expression in response to the presence or absence of a ligand that binds the aptamer. The polynucleotide construct contains a U1 binding site in the context of a riboswitch comprising an effector region and an aptamer such that when the aptamer binds a ligand, target gene expression occurs.

    Abstract: This invention provides a modified protein encoding sequence containing nucleotide substitutions at multiple locations in the protein encoding sequence, wherein the substitutions introduce rare hexamers. These hexamers may be Frame Dependent, or depleted in only the reading frame, or Frame Independent, or depleted in all three frames. Modified protein encoding sequences of the present invention may include modified viruses useful for vaccines.

    Abstract: The invention provides a platform and methods of using the platform for the regulation of the expression of a target gene using exposure to an aptamer ligand (for example, a small molecule). The platform features a polynucleotide gene regulation cassette that is placed in the target gene and includes a synthetic riboswitch positioned in the context of a 5' intron-alternative exon-3' intron. The riboswitch comprises an effector region and a sensor region (e.g., an aptamer that binds a small molecule ligand) such that the alternative exon is spliced into the target gene mRNA when the ligand is not present thereby preventing expression of the target gene. When the ligand is present, the alternative exon is not spliced into the target gene mRNA thereby providing expression of the target gene.
