摘要:
A host cell stably transformed or transfected by a vector including a DNA sequence encoding for mutant purine nucleoside cleavage enzymes is provided. The transformed or transfected host cell can be used in combination with a purine substrate to treat tumour cells and/or virally infected cells. A nucleotide sequence encoding mutant E. coli derived purine nucleoside phosphorylase proteins which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate substrate to produce toxins which impair abnormal cell growth is also provided. A method is detailed for the delivery of toxin by generation withing target cells or by administration and delivery to the cells from without. Novel purine nucleosides are detailed that yield a cytotoxic purine upn enzymatic cleavage. A synthetic process for nucleosides is also detailed.

The present invention provides engineered purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) enzymes, polypeptides having PNP activity, and polynucleotides encoding these enzymes, as well as vectors and host cells comprising these polynucleotides and polypeptides. Methods for producing PNP enzymes are also provided. The present invention further provides compositions comprising the PNP enzymes and methods of using the engineered PNP enzymes. The present invention finds particular use in the production of pharmaceutical compounds.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides modified looped proteins comprising at least one looped region, wherein the at least one looped region comprises a cell penetrating peptide (CPP). In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides polynucleotides encoding the modified looped proteins and methods for their production.
摘要:
The invention provides a method of determining a predisposition to a condition associated with ATP depletion, such as an ischaemic event, in a subject comprising: a. measuring the concentration of one or more purines in a body fluid of the subject, the purines being selected from adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and ATP, and b. comparing the measured concentration with a threshold concentration of the one or more purines, wherein the threshold concentration is preferably in the range 2 [micro]M to 8 [micro]M and wherein a measured concentration higher than the threshold concentration indicates the presence of ischaemia.
