US Patent:
7189519, Mar 13, 2007

May 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/429042
Inventors:
Larry A. Sklar - Albuquerque NM, US
Tione Buranda - Albuquerque NM, US
Daniel Cimino - Tijeras NM, US
Alex T. Key - Albuquerque NM, US
Richard Neubig - Scio MI, US
Peter C. Simons - Albuquerque NM, US

Assignee:
STC.UNM - Albuquerque NM
Univeristy of Michigan - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
G01N 33/52
G01N 33/566
C12N 1/20
C07K 1/00
C07H 21/04
US Classification:
435 71, 436501, 436 56, 436172, 4352523, 530350, 530402, 536 235, 536 242
Abstract:
The present invention provides a general approach for G protein coupled receptors that may be used to define agonists and antagonists, and the specificity of receptor coupling to G protein subunits. Methods of the present invention use small volumes (microliters) and are compatible with high throughput flow cytometry. When assays of the present invention are multiplexed, the specificity of the interactions of a receptor with many G proteins may be determined simultaneously.

Feb 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/771853
Inventors:
Larry A. Sklar - Albuquerque NM, US
Eric R. Prossnitz - Albuquerque NM, US
Peter Simons - Albuquerque NM, US
Anna Waller - Albuquerque NM, US
Daniel Cimino - Tijeras NM, US
Sean Biggs - Albuquerque NM, US
Assignee:
STC.UNM - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01N 33/53
G01N 33/566
G01N 27/00
G01N 21/76
C07N 1/00
US Classification:
435 71, 436501, 436 56, 436172, 530350, 530402, 536 235, 435 691
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to molecular assemblies, more particularly to an assay for the detection of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) molecular assemblies and bead-based detection of ligand-GPCR complexes and to methods for identifying compounds as agonists, partial agonists or antagonists of the binding of G-protein coupled receptors to G-protein and for use of these compounds in the treatment of conditions or disease states in a mammalian subject or patient, including humans, where G-protein coupled receptor binding to G-protein is implicated.

Glutathione Beads And Gst Fusion Proteins

US Patent:
7785900, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Jan 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/652432
Inventors:
Peter C. Simons - Albuquerque NM, US
Larry A. Sklar - Albuquerque NM, US
Eric R. Prossnitz - Albuquerque NM, US
Mathewos Z. Tessema - Albuquerque NM, US
John C. Reed - Ranch Santa Fe CA, US
Dayong Zhai - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
STC.UNM - Albuquerque NM
Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute - La Jolla CA
International Classification:
G01N 33/543
G01N 33/53
US Classification:
436523, 436501, 436506, 436518, 436524, 436528, 435 71, 435 721, 422 50, 422 61, 424 91, 530300, 530350
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to glutathione derivatized beads which are adapted for use in conjunction with glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins (generally, GST fusion proteins, which contain a fluorescent label such as fluorescent green protein) for use in flow cytometry. The present invention also relates to methods for detecting and/or quantifying interactions between a GST fusion protein and their binding partners, in particular, labeled binding partners such as fluorescently labeled binding partners. By creating glutathione beads with an appropriate high or increased site density, disadvantages often associated with low affinity systems and quick off-rates in solution may be resolved to provide a workable system and method. Methods of identifying potential agonists, antagonists and regulator compounds of proteins fused to GST from libraries of compounds represents another aspect of the present invention.

Assignee:
STC.UNM - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
A61K 31/435
C07D 221/06
US Classification:
546 79, 514290
Abstract:
The current invention is in the field of molecular biology/pharmacology and provides compounds which modulate the effects of GPR30 as well as the classical estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERα and ERβ). These compounds may function as agonists and/or antagonists of one or more of the disclosed estrogen receptors. Diseases which are mediated through one or more of these receptors include cancer (particularly breast, reproductive and other hormone-dependent cancers, leukemia, colon cancer, prostate cancer), reproductive (genito-urological) including endometritis, prostatitis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, bladder control, hormone-related disorders, hearing disorders, cardiovascular conditions including hot flashes and profuse sweating, hypertension, stroke, obesity, osteoporosis, hematologic diseases, vascular diseases or conditions such as venous thrombosis, atherosclerosis, among numerous others and disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, including depression, insomnia, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, as well as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, coeliac (celiac) disease and related disorders of the intestine. A contraceptive indication to prevent or reduce the likelihood of pregnancy after intercourse is a further aspect of the present invention.
