Patent number: 6849721Abstract: A 2.4 ? crystal structure of a protein construct containing the catalytic kinase domain of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2/KDR), a key enzyme in angiogenesis, has been determined in an unliganded, phosphorylated state. This protein construct, contains a modified catalytic linker and has comparable in vitro kinase activity to constructs containing the entire KID. The resulting construct retains comparable in vitro kinase activity to that of the wild-type KID, and more importantly, allows complete crystallization of the protein such that it may be characterized by X-ray crystallography. The present invention further discloses the use of the x-ray crystallographic data for identification and construction of possible therapeutic compounds in the treatment of various disease conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2001Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Michele A. McTigue, Chris Pinko, Camran V. Parast, Michael R. Gehring, Chen-Chen Kan, Krzysztof Appelt, John A. Wickersham, Richard E. Showalter, Anna M. Tempcyzk-Russell, Barbara Mroczkowski, Jesus E.
