Abstract: In this invention, a novel protein interaction domain is provided along with several of its variants. This domain is involved in protein-protein interactions with the Bcl-2 family of proteins. It is named BLID (Bcl2 family of proteins Like Interaction Domain). Use of BLID and its variants for modulating cellular activity is presented. BLID, its variants and or anti-BLID antibodies could be useful as a screening tool as well as for discovery of drugs that help fight pathological states like degenerative diseases, cerebral or cardiac ischemic hypoxic disorders, cancer and autoimmunity.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods for in vitro and in vivo detection of target nucleic acid molecules, including DNA and RNA targets, as well as nucleic acid analogues. The present invention is based on protein complementation, in which two individual polypeptides are inactive. When the two inactive polypeptide fragment are brought in close proximity during hybridization to a target nucleic acid, they re-associate into an active, detectable protein.
