Abstract:
A polyanionic polymer can improve the bioactivity and water-solubility properties of a drug to which it is joined. The inventive method provides a monodispersed preparation of a recombinantly-produced polyanionic polymer that can be easily manipulated, such as lengthened. An active moiety may be chemically or recombinantly joined to a polyanionic polymer to increase its biological half-life and/or solubility. The instant invention also provides a method for targeting the delivery of a polyanionic polymer conjugate or fusion protein to a specific cell type or tissue.
Abstract:
The invention relates to benzoxazoles and the use thereof to inhibit lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase null (LPAAT-null) activity. The invention further relates to methods of treating cancer using said benzoxazoles. The invention also relates to methods for screening for LPAAT-null activity.
Abstract:
Polypeptides are obtained, for example, via expression of encoding cDNA sequences, that have the activity of the enzyme lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT), also known as 1-acyl sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase.
Abstract:
There is disclosed cDNA sequences and polypeptides having the enzyme CDP-diacylglycerol synthase (CDS) activity. CDS is also known as CTP:phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase. There is further disclosed methods for isolation and production of polypeptides involved in phosphatidic acid metabolism and signaling in mammalian cells, in particular, the production of purified forms of CDS.
