  • Method for regulating targeting of Cyclin Y (CCNY) protein to synapses
    Patent number: 11161888
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for regulating localization of CCNY protein to synapses, comprising palmitoylation of CCNY protein. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for regulating targeting of CCNY protein to synapses by regulating addition of a palmitoyl group to cysteine at position 7 and/or 8 on the CCNY protein. Therefore, the palmitoylation of CCNY, a postsynaptic protein known to be implicated in synaptic plasticity and learning and memory, is a critical process for CCNY to be localized in postsynaptic spines, and thus it can be found that CCNY plays an important role in synaptic functions.

  • Method for improving memory using CCNY inhibitor
    Patent number: 10724037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for improving memory including a Cyclin Y (CCNY) inhibitor as an active ingredient. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for improving memory in a subject comprising administering the composition for improving memory to the subject. The present invention may reveal a CCNY-oriented molecular mechanism with respect to learning and memory, help understand causes of brain diseases associated with memory problems, and ultimately be applied in the treatment and diagnosis of brain memory disorders such as dementia.
