  • Screen for ultraspiracle inhibitors
    Patent number: 6110698
    Abstract: This invention discloses methods for identifying compounds, variant nuclear proteins and other auxiliary proteins that interfere with the Drosophila ultraspiracle protein ("Usp") and homologs thereof. The methods disclosed involve transformed yeast cells which contain a Usp binding partner, Usp or a homolog thereof which can bind with the Usp binding partner, and a reporter gene which requires a functional Usp--Usp binder partner complex for expression. The transformed yeast cells are incubated in the presence of a test compound to form a test culture and in the absence of a test compound to form a control culture. The expression of the reporter gene is monitored in one example by exposing the test and control cultures to canavanine under conditions in which control cultures exhibit reduced growth and detecting test cultures in which growth is increased relative to growth of control cultures.

  • Valve assembly for use with containers in a closed application system
    Patent number: 6085809
    Abstract: A container for use in a closed application system includes a valve mounted to a discharge opening of the container and rotatable with the container for controlling the discharge of material from the container. The valve includes an element for engaging corresponding structure in a receptacle for receiving the contents of the container. The element engages and locks the valve in the receptacle when the valve is opened and the contents are being discharged from the container into the receptacle. The valve element and the corresponding structure on the receptacle cooperate so that the container can only be received in and removed from the receptacle when the valve is closed. In this manner, the contents in the container can be discharged only when the container is received within the receptacle and the container is rotated in a direction to open the valve.
