75 results about "Proteasome degradation" patented technology

Proteasomes are part of a major mechanism by which cells regulate the concentration of particular proteins and degrade misfolded proteins. Proteins are tagged for degradation with a small protein called ubiquitin. The tagging reaction is catalyzed by enzymes called ubiquitin ligases.

Analogs of Salinosporamide A

ActiveUS20070161693A1BiocideSilicon organic compoundsSalinosporamide ACancer cell
Disclosed herein are analogs of Salinosporamide A, having the Formulae Ia-IVa as follows: Like Salinosporamide A, the compounds of the present invention will inhibit the proteasome, an intracellular enzyme complex that destroys proteins the cell no longer needs. Without the proteasome, proteins would build up and clog cellular machinery. Fast-growing cancer cells make especially heavy use of the proteasome, so thwarting its action is a compelling drug strategy.

Method for Inhibiting Cancer Using Arsenic Trioxide

It has been discovered that As2O3 suppresses tyrosine kinase receptors, in particular EGFR and IL-6R, by targeting RTKs to lysosomes and / or proteasome for degradation. This is the basis for the discovery that cancers dependent on RTKs for signaling, proliferation, survival, metastasis and differentiation can be treated with As2O3, preferably oral As2O3. Representative cancers include EGFR and cytokine dependent cancers, for example, head and neck squamous sarcomas and multiple myelomas, respectively.

Degradation of PA200 and acetylation-mediated core histones through proteasome

The invention discloses an application of PA200 proteins in preparation of products. The products have at least one of the following functions from (1) to (4): (1) combining with acetylated proteins; (2) promoting the degradation of the acetylated proteins; (3) participating in repair of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) damages of somatic cells; and (4) participating in the formation of sperms. The invention has breakthroughs in four following aspects: (1) finding a mechanism of regulation and control of degradation of the histones, the sperm formation and the DNA repair by acetylation; (2) revealing the degradation of the histones medicated by acetylation rather than ubiquitination through PA200 / Blm10 proteasome; (3) finding novel testis-specific proteasome containing PA200 and alpha 4s, and revealing the core histones as a first type biological substrate for the proteasome; and (4) revealing that a histone deacetylase inhibitor can promote the degradation of the histones which are induced by DNA double-strand breaks and medicated by acetylation, enhance the sensitivity of cells to DNA damages and easily lead to the death of the cells.

The present inventors worked on elucidating the mechanism of antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells, and revealed that foreign antigens taken up in dendritic cells are degraded by proteasomes after undergoing polyubiquitination. Based on the novel finding that polyubiquitination is involved in cross-presentation, the promotion of polyubiquitination was attempted by a number of methods, and the promotion of antigen presentation was confirmed. These methods enable the production of dendritic cells effective for inducing CTL activation.

Treatment of Hepatitis C Infection With Metalloporphyrins

The present invention is directed to the treatment of hepatitis C infection with a metalloporphyrin. In particular, the present invention is based on the discovery that the NS5A protein plays a key role in HCV RNA replication by participating in polyprotein cleavage, interferon response and cellular signaling pathways. It has been found that metalloporphyrins, such as zinc porphyrins, induce post-translational down-regulation of HCV NS5A protein in an ubquitin-proteasome degradation pathway. That is, metalloporphyrins can be used to activate the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway of NS5A protein catabolism. As a result, metalloporphyrins can be used to significantly suppress HCV viral replication in HCV infected cells.

Screening method of anti-HIV drug

The invention discloses a screening method of an anti-HIV drug, which comprises the following steps: a sample to be tested is added to a fusion protein which expresses hA3G and reporter gene and a Vif cell; the blocking effect of the sample on Vif pathway is judged by investigating the quantity of the encoding products of the reporter gene; whether the initially chosen sample is an inhibitor in the pathway of proteasome degradation is further judged to screen out the anti-HIV drug. In the method provided by the invention, a hA3G is taken as a target point, solves the problem of drug resistance caused by high mutation of viruses and has no cross resistance with the anti-HIV-1 drug used in clinical application for the moment.
