Abstract: The invention provides a method for inhibiting ocular neovascularization in a patient. The method comprises administering to a patient an ocular neovascularization inhibiting amount of a water-soluble polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 7, and an ocular neovascularization inhibiting fragment thereof, which includes at least one of amino acid residue signature sequences HVGH (SEQ ID NO:10) and KMSAS (SEQ ID NO:11).

Abstract: An isolated, water-soluble polypeptide fragment of human tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase is useful for the inhibition of angiogenesis. The polypeptide has the amino acid residue sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 12, or an angiogenesis inhibiting fragment thereof, the fragment including at least one of amino acid residue signature sequences HVGH (SEQ ID NO:10) and KMSAS (SEQ ID NO:11). Methods of using the polypeptide to inhibit angiogenesis are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding a water-soluble polypeptide fragment of human tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase, which is useful for the inhibition of angiogenesis. The nucleic acid comprises a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 6, a polynucleotide hybridizable to SEQ ID NO: 6, a polynucleotide that encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 7, a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 12, a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide epitope of SEQ ID NO: 7, or a polynucleotide that is hybridizable to a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide epitope of SEQ ID NO: 7. Vectors and recombinant cells comprising the nucleic acid are also provided.
