  • Publication number: 20030120051
    Abstract: The 190 kDa Contactin ASsociated PRotein (CASPR/p190) is identified and is implicated as the bridge between contactin and intracellular second messenger systems for the signal caused by the binding of the carboxy anhydrase domain of RPTP&bgr; to contactin and resulting in neurite growth, differentiation or survival. Mammalian CASPR/p190 cDNAs and proteins are described, including those from human and rat. In addition, particular domains of the proteins are characterized.

  • Publication number: 20030108946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to organic molecules capable of modulating, regulating and/or inhibiting protein kinase signal transduction. Such compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases related to unregulated protein kinase signal transduction, including cell proliferative diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis and restenosis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. The present invention features indolinone compounds that potently inhibit protein kinases and related products and methods. Inhibitors specific to the FLK protein kinase can be obtained by adding chemical substituents to the 3-[(indole-3-yl)methylene]-2-indolinone, in particular at the 1′ position of the indole ring. Indolinone compounds that specifically inhibit the FLK and platelet derived growth factor protein kinases can harbor a tetrahydroindole or cyclopentano-b-pyrrol moiety.

  • Publication number: 20030092079
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of cell proliferative disorders wherein a protein tyrosine kinase or protein tyrosine phosphatase capable of complexing with a member of the SH2- and/or SH3-containing family of adaptor proteins is involved. This invention is based, in part, on the surprising discovery that the adaptor protein, GRB-2, binds the intracellular BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase product in vivo and is necessary for the activation of the oncogenic potential of the BCR/ABL product. The present invention further relates to protein tyrosine kinase/adaptor protein complexes and the uses of these complexes for the identification of agents capable of decreasing or inhibiting the interaction between the members of such complexes.
