  • Publication number: 20150185223
    Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery of isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding mutant RAC polypeptides, or fragments thereof, wherein the mutant RAC polypeptides comprise one or more substitutions of an amino acid in the wild-type RAC polypeptide that renders the mutant RAC polypeptides constitutively active and oncogenic. Isolated mutant RAC polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acid molecules, as well as vectors, host cells, methods of producing encoded polypeptides using such isolated nucleic acid molecules, as well as methods of using mutant RAC nucleic acids and polypeptides for identifying, assessing, prognosing, and treating cancer, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8825385
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention is an information terminal device includes a widget management unit for managing execution of a widget being a monofunctional program for performing display on the display part of a display device. The widget management unit includes a policy determination unit for determining the operation policy, including operation restriction and priority, concerning a display state at the display device in the widget, and a reliability determining unit for determining the reliability representing the reliability of the widget in the widget. When the state of the movement calculated by a navigation unit becomes a preset state, the widget management unit regulates the display state of the widget according to the operation restriction and the reliability, and performs display, while preferentially displaying guidance state and positional information calculated by the navigation unit.
