    摘要: A purified and isolated peptide comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8. A method is also provided for preventing interaction, e.g. binding, of EN1 with EPRS in a cell by introducing, into the cell, a peptide having a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8, which results in the peptide interacting with EPRS thereby preventing an interaction of EPRS with EN1. Apoptosis can be induced in a cell expressing either or both of EN1 and EN2, by introducing into the cell, a peptide of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8.
