20100212030USE OF N-TERMINAL AND C-TERMINAL PROTEOMICS TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE PROTEIN THERAPEUTICS AND DIAGNOSTICS - The present invention provides a novel method for stabilizing proteins, by first identifying the proteolytic sites using N- or C-terminal technology, followed by modification of said sites in order to create stabilized proteins, no longer subject to proteolytic cleavage. the method of the invention immediately provides the user with the exact amino acid position of the proteolytic cleavage site in the protein(s) of interest, even in a complex protein sample. This makes the specific modification of such a site much easier and increases the expectation of success as compared to the amount of effort needed, even in a complex protein sample.08-19-2010
20100222276 PROTEASE-SENSITIVE SITE IN APOLIPOPROTEIN A1, THERAPEUTIC AND DIAGNOSTIC IMPLICATIONS - The invention relates to the identification of a naturally occurring internal proteolytic cleavage site in the ApoA1 protein, which leads to inactivation of the mature protein. Specific modification of this cleavage site leads to a stabilised ApoA1 protein, which is beneficial for the reverse cholesterol transport. The invention therefore encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising a recombinant stabilised variant ApoA1 protein or rHDL particles comprising such a protein, for use in the treatment of patients having reduced HDL or hampered reverse cholesterol transport.09-02-2010
20100311114PREPARATION OF SAMPLES FOR PROTEOME ANALYSIS - The invention mainly concerns methods and systems for the preparation of biological samples for proteome analysis, N-terminal or C-terminal peptides of proteins are enriched using exopeptidase.12-09-2010

20100173408Receptor-based interaction trap - Described is a recombinant receptor comprising an extracellular ligand-binding domain and a cytoplasmic domain that comprises a heterologous bait polypeptide. The recombinant receptor is activated by binding of a ligand to the ligand-binding domain and by binding of a prey polypeptide to the heterologous bait peptide. The invention also discloses a method for detecting compound-compound binding using the recombinant receptor.07-08-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100174049Reversed mammalian protein-protein interaction trap - The invention relates to a recombinant receptor, comprising a ligand-binding domain and a signaling domain that comprises a heterologous bait polypeptide, which receptor is inactivated by binding of a prey polypeptide to the heterologous bait peptide, either in presence or absence of a ligand binding to the ligand-binding domain. The receptor is activated by addition of a compound that disrupts the bait-prey interaction. The invention also relates to a method of screening compounds that disrupt compound-compound binding using the recombinant receptor.07-08-2010

20100298152USE OF APTAMERS IN PROTEOMICS - The present invention is a method for measuring the amount of at least one molecule in a biological sample, the method comprising a) combining the sample, or a derivative thereof, with one or more aptamers and allowing one or more molecules in the sample to bind to the aptamer(s); b) separating bound from unbound molecules; and c) quantifying the molecule(s) bound to the or each aptamer, wherein quantification of the bound molecule(s) is carried out by sequencing at least part of the or each aptamer. Uses of and products derived from the method are also contemplated.11-25-2010
