Novel Nucleic Acids And Polypeptides Related To A Farnesyl-Directed Endopeptidase
The present invention relates to a mammalian farnesyl-directed endopeptidase, especially obtainable from a human or mouse. The polypeptide and corresponding nucleic acid are useful in a variety of ways, such as for diagnostic probes, in assays to identify agents which interfere with the endopeptidase activity and its expression, and for the screening of agents for treating cancer and other pathways in which the polypeptide is involved.
Methods And Compositions For Treating Abnormal Cell Growth Related To Unwanted Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor Activity
Gideon Bollag - Hercules CA, US Anne Crompton - San Francisco CA, US Anne North - Pleasant Hill CA, US William Roscoe - San Francisco CA, US Sanju Sharma - Berkeley CA, US
Methods and compositions are described that affect the GTPase activity of members of the Ras superfamily, preferably Rac, such compositions include guanine nucleotide exchange factors that modulate the GTPase activity, preferably in the presence of GEF enhancers, exemplary guanine nucleotide exchange factors being Rac-GEF and Tiam-1, which are encoded by certain nucleic acid sequences that are herein described, along with uses for the guanine nucleotide exchange factors and the nucleic acid sequences including screening for ligands which recognize Rac-GEF, regulators of Rac-GEF activity, and methods of treating pathological conditions associated or related to a Ras superfamily GTPase, including Rac.

Abstract:
A crystal structure of PDE5A is described that was determined by X-ray crystallography. The use of PDE5A crystals and strucural information can, for example, be used for identifying molecular scaffolds and for developing ligands that bind to and modulate PDE5A.
