Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods for promoting or inhibiting angiogenesis, and screening methods for identifying compounds are disclosed. The compounds bind to F1 ATP synthase, particularly to the alpha and/or beta subunits of F1 ATP synthase. When bound to these subunits, they can function as angiostatin agonists, antagonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists, or allosteric modulators. When the compounds mimic or enhance the activity of angiostatin, they inhibit angiogenesis. When the compounds inhibit the ability of angiostatin to bind F1 ATP synthase and are either inactive at inhibiting angiogenesis or directly promote angiogenesis, or if they inhibit the activity of angiostatin, they promote angiogenesis. The compounds can be, for example, antibodies, antibody fragments, enzymes, peptides, nucleic acids such as oligonucleotides, or small molecules. The antibodies can be monoclonal, humanized, or polyclonal antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to an angiostatin receptor and, in particular, to an angiostatin receptor present on cellular plasma membranes. More particularly, the present invention relates to the human angiostatin receptor, ATP synthase, or subunit or portion thereof, and to the use thereof in assays designed to screen compounds for their ability to serve as agonists or antagonists of human angiostatin. The invention further relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding ATP synthase, or subunit or portion thereof, and to host cells transformed therewith. The invention also relates to antibodies specific for ATP synthase.
