  • Aggrecanase structure
    Patent number: 7615363
    Abstract: This invention relates to aggrecanase polypeptides and aggrecanase polypeptide/ligand complexes, crystals of aggrecanase and aggrecanase polypeptide/ligand complexes, and related methods and software systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2009
    Assignee: Wyeth
    Inventors: Lidia Mosyak, Thomas Saltmarsh Rush, III, Xiaotian Zhong, Thomas E. McDonagh, Katy E. Georgiadis, Phaik-Eng Sum, Edward R. LaVallie, Lisa A. Collins-Racie, Christopher John Corcoran, Ravindra Kumar, Tracy Hebert, Stephane Hubert Olland, Stewart Andrews Mackie
  • Truncated aggrecanase molecules
    Patent number: 7223858
    Abstract: Truncated aggrecanase proteins and nucleotides sequences encoding them as well as processes for producing them are disclosed. Additionally, aggrecanases with amino acid mutations that lead to increased stability and expression levels in comparison with wild-type or native aggrecanases are also disclosed. Aggrecanases of the invention are especially useful for development of compositions for treatment of diseases such as osteoarthritis. Methods for developing inhibitors of the aggrecanase enzymes and antibodies to the enzymes for treatment of conditions characterized by the degradation of aggrecan are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Modified ADAMTS4 molecules and method of use thereof
    Patent number: 7118902
    Abstract: The present invention relates to modified ADAMTS4 proteins having improved stability comparing to the corresponding native, unmodified proteins. The modified ADAMTS4 proteins can be expressed and isolated in large quantities, thus allowing further characterization of the proteins, such as crystallographic and enzyme kinetic studies. The purified, stable proteins would also facilitate the production of anti-ADAMTS antibodies and the development of inhibitors to ADAMTS enzymes.
