  • Method for the identification of ligands
    Publication number: 20060110732
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of identifying ligands that modulate protein-protein interactions. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of determining agonists or antagonists of a co-regulator dependent target molecule based on the ability to modify the stability of the target molecule in a tissue-selective manner.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 23, 2003
    Publication date: May 25, 2006
    Inventors: Roger Bone, Dionisios Rentzeperis, Hossein Askari, Barry Springer
  • Methods and compositions for identifying ligands for nuclear receptors
    Patent number: 7037656
    Abstract: A yeast-based system and methods of use therefore are provided for identifying new molecules which activate nuclear receptors in a ligand-dependent fashion. In a preferred embodiment, a method is provided utilizing ecdysone receptor, USP and GRIP I encoding expression vectors which may be used to advantage for screening new and useful insecticidal compounds, detecting insecticidal residues as well as to regulate expression of a gene of interest in a host in a ligand-dependent manner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2006
    Assignee: Lifesensors, Inc.
    Inventors: Hiep Tuan Tran, Salam Shaaban, Hossein Askari, Michael Schwartz, Tauseef Butt
