Abstract:
Embodiments of the instant disclosure relate to novel antiviral compositions and methods for treating viral infections. In accordance with these embodiments, antiviral compositions can include at least one mRNA encoding for a TRIM7 protein encapsulated into a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). In other embodiments, methods of making antiviral compositions are disclosed as well as methods of administering a composition having at least one mRNA encoding for a TRIM7 protein encapsulated into LNP into a subject.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a novel molecule or construct which can mediate or induce protein degradation. The molecules can be provided in the form of constructs and used to mediate the degradation of specific proteins. The molecules comprise an E3 ligase component and a target protein-binding moiety; this ensures the molecules can be tailored to the degradation of a specific proteinaceaous target.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose binding peptide with anti-cancer activity, and specifically, an ADP-ribose binding peptide having a specific amino acid sequence and a modification thereof, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer comprising the same as an active ingredient, and a pharmaceutical composition for anti-cancer adjuvant. The ADP-ribose binding peptide of the present disclosure has an excellent anti-cancer effect by accumulating ADP-ribose in cancer cells to destroy the balance, thus leading to the death of cancer cells, but not being toxic to normal cells, and when administered in combination with other anti-cancer drugs or anti-cancer radiation therapy, has a very good effect as an anti-cancer adjuvant by enhancing the reactivity to the anti-cancer drugs and radiation therapy.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for diagnosing nasopharyngeal cancer in a subject by detecting UBR5-ZNF423 fusion polypeptide or polynucleotide, which is in some cases due to a gene fusion of UBR5-ZNF423. A kit useful for such a method is also provided. In addition, the present invention provides a method for treating nasopharyngeal cancer by eliminating UBR5-ZNF423 gene expression or activity.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for conveniently and efficiently producing a 3-acetylamino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid-type compound that is a stable compound by a process using a microorganism. Specifically the present invention provides a microorganism having an ability to produce 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, that is modified so as to increase an activity to form 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and aspartate semialdehyde, wherein the microorganism is modified so as to increase an N-hydroxyarylamine O-acetyltransferase (NhoA) activity, as well as a method for producing the 3-acetylamino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid-type compound using such a microorganism.
