  • Publication number: 20170123509
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a user input system and method for receiving and processing touch input. The system may cooperate with an interchangeable graphic module that may be received in an overlapping relationship to a touch sensor panel of the system. The interchangeable graphic module may have a graphical layout having one or more graphical elements visually marked on the interchangeable graphic module. A user may view the graphical elements and provide touch input to the touch sensor panel. The user input system may be configured by obtaining a graphic code associated with the interchangeable graphic module identifying the particular graphical layout. The system may configure soft-keys for the touch sensor panel corresponding to the graphical elements. Therefore embodiments of the user input system may provide a configurable touch input system presenting graphical elements without requiring an electronic display.

  • Publication number: 20070218026
    Abstract: Here we describe the molecular identification of a cDNA encoding a novel serine protease we have termed protease EOS. The deduced amino acid sequence, and it alignment with other well-characterized serine proteases indicates that it is a member of the S1 serine protease family. We have found that the protease EOS mRNA is expressed in platelets and leukocytes and more specifically eosinophils. Although this protease is abundantly expressed in ovary, retina and stomach, where it may perform important functions, its expression in platelets and certain cells of the immune system suggests that it may play roles in thrombosis and in the immune process.

  • Publication number: 20070065897
    Abstract: A novel human cDNA, termed PRSS11-L, was isolated which encodes a polypeptide that belongs to the S2/HtrA serine protease family. The PRSS11-L mRNA is widely expressed in several tissues throughout the body by multi-tissue Northern blotting. The full-length PRSS11-L cDNA, was cloned, expressed and purified. Proteolytic activity was demonstrated using the protein substrate casein. The isolated nucleic acid or polypeptide molecule of the invention can be used in detection assays, gene therapy, and screening assays.

  • Publication number: 20060141451
    Abstract: This invention relates to nucleic acid encoding guinea pig PAR 4 and to the protein encoded thereby. The guinea pig DNA and protein are useful for the development of models of human platelet aggregation. The invention further relates to an animal model to assess the role of PAR antagonists in thrombosis.

  • Publication number: 20060063235
    Abstract: Here we describe the molecular identification of a cDNA encoding a novel serine protease we have termed protease C-E. The deduced amino acid sequence, and it alignment with other well-characterized serine proteases indicates that it is a member of the S1 serine protease family. We have found that the protease C-E mRNA is expressed in pancreas, placenta, prostate, small intestine, stomach, spleen, fibroblasts and epidermis, as well as in certain regions of the brain i.e., cerebellum, cerebral cortex, pituitary and hippocampus. Enzymatically active protease C-E, as produced using the methodologies described herein, is amenable to further biochemical analyses for the identification of physiological substrates and specific modulators.

  • Patent number: 6887987
    Abstract: Here we describe the molecular identification of a cDNA encoding a novel serine protease we have termed protease T. The deduced amino acid sequence encodes a prepro form of 290 amino acids, and its alignment with other well-characterized serine proteases indicates that it is a member of the S1 serine protease family. We have found that the protease T mRNA is expressed in stomach, testis, retina, fibroblasts, spinal cord, and several regions of the brain. Protease T mRNA is also found in leukocytes and in the Jurkat (ATCC TIB-152) T cell line. Thus, this protease is potentially involved in gastric, testicular, retinal, dematological, neurological/neurodegenerative and/or immunological disorders. The protease T gene maps to human chromosome 16p13.3 which is near the tryptase locus. Enzymatically active protease T, we have generated, is amenable to further biochemical analyses for the identification of physiological substrates and specific modulators.

  • Publication number: 20050014242
    Abstract: We describe the DNA sequences encoding an expression vector system that will permit, through limited proteolysis, the activation of expressed zymogen precursor of (S1) serine proteases in a highly controlled and reproducible fashion. The processed expressed protein, once activated, is rendered in a form amenable to measuring the catalytic activity. This catalytic activity of the activated form, is often a more accurate representation of the mature S1 protease gene product relative to the unprocessed zymogen precursor. Thus, this series of zymogen activation constructs represents a significant system for the analysis and characterization of serine protease gene products.
