Patents by Inventor Benoit Derijard

Benoit Derijard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20090053231
    Abstract: Disclosed are human mitogen-activated (MAP) kinase kinase isoforms (MKKs). MKKs mediate unique signal transduction pathways that activate human MAP kinases p38 and JNK, which result in activation of other factors, including activating transcription factor-2 (ATF2) and c-Jun. The pathways are activated by a number of factors, including cytokines and environmental stress. Methods are provided for identifying reagents that modulate MKK function or activity and for the use of such reagents in the treatment of MKK-mediated disorders.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 18, 2008
    Publication date: February 26, 2009
    Inventors: Roger J. Davis, Joel Raingeaud, Benoit Derijard
  • Publication number: 20070077581
    Abstract: An isolated polypeptide (JNK) characterized by having a molecular weight of 46 kD as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE, having serine and Threonine kinase activity, phosphorylating the c-Jun N-terminal activation domain and polynucleotide sequences and method of deterction of JNK are provided herein. JNK phosphorylates c-Jun N-terminal activation domain which affects gene expression from AP-1 sites.
