  • Publication number: 20050268350
    Abstract: The invention relates to transgenes comprising DNA encoding for epitope-tagged TATA-box binding protein (TBP), the production of transgenic animals which express epitope-tagged TBP and use thereof for affinity purification of transcription factors and transcription complexes from a variety of eukaryotic tissues and cell-types.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6403299
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification and molecular-biological and biochemical characterization of novel DEAH-box proteins which show structural similarity with other known helicases. The invention also relates to DNA sequences encoding such proteins. It is demonstrated that such proteins bind ATP and nucleic acid and possess helicase and ATPase activities. This invention further relates to processes for preparation of such proteins and their use in pharmacologically relevant test systems and therapeutic applications.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 11, 2002
    Assignee: Aventis Research & Technologies GmbH & Co. KG
    Inventors: Bernd Kirschbaum, Stefan Muellner, Robert Bartlett
  • Patent number: 6265588
    Abstract: A compound of the formula where R1 is the radical of the formula II or III is suitable for the production of a pharmaceutical for the treatment of inflammations, carcinomatous diseases, or autoimmune diseases. A compound of the formula IV is suitable for the production of specific antibodies against a compound of the formula I for the discovery of specific-binding proteins from cell extracts, serum, blood, or synovial fluids, for the purification of proteins, for the modification of microtiter plates, or for the preparation of chromatography material, in particular of affinity chromatography material, and for use in diagnostics.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6174722
    Abstract: An process for analyzing transcription which can be automated and which is suitable for bulk screening. The process involves transcribing a DNA sequence using a nuclear extract, which can be complemented or fully replaced by exogenous transcription factors and/or cofactors; optionally removing the proteins of the reaction mixture; binding the resulting transcript to a solid matrix; removing the excess labeled nucleotides; and determining the amount of labeled transcript. Methods of using the inventive process to identify compounds having a selective effect on gene expression.
