20100089753	FLUORESCENT DETECTION OF PROTEINS IN POLYACRYLAMIDE GELS - The mechanism of the UV light-induced reaction between the indole moiety of tryptophan and chloroform, and the structure of the modified tryptophan and polypeptides including such modified tryptophan residues. The excited indole moiety, which is formed upon UV light irradiation, emits a solvated electron which initiates a series of events that yield fluorescent derivatives that have CHO group covalently bound to the indole moiety. These derivatives are herein referred to as formyltryptophan, and are relatively stable. Similar reactions are observed when 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-fluorotryptophan, or N-methylindolacetate are used in place of tryptophan, or when other haloalkanes, such as trichloracetic acid, trichlorethanol, trichlorethane, bromoform, and iodoactetate are used in place of chloroform. The derivatives can be used in a variety of applications in fluorescence spectroscopy, and for nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, infra-red spectroscopy, circular dicroism and mass spectroscopy. Additionally, the UV light-induced reaction between the indole moiety of tryptophan and haloalkanes can be used to prepare derivatives of tryptophan for chemical cross-linking studies of proteins and peptides.	04-15-2010

20080249118	Silencing of Tumor-Suppressive Genes by Cpg-Methylation in Prostate Cancer - The present invention relates to method and kits for diagnosing and/or treating prostate cancer. The method and kit relate to the determination and/or modulation of the methylation degree of tumor suppressive genes in biological samples. More particularly, CpG-methylation of 14-3-3σ was found in all primary PCa samples analysed, but not in matching normal prostate epithelial cells or benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). CpG-methylation was accompanied by a decrease or loss of 14-3-3σ protein expression in primary PCa and PCa cell lines. PCa-precursor lesions, known as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), also displayed decreased levels of 14-3-3σ expression, whereas normal prostate epithelial cells and BPH showed high levels of 14-3-3σ protein expression. The generality of CpG-methylation in PCa suggests that silencing of 14-3-3σ significantly contributes to the formation of PCa. Furthermore, the CpG-methylation of 14-3-3σ in PCa may be exploited for diagnostic purposes.	10-09-2008
