  • Publication number: 20230159619
    Abstract: A trigger-responsive immune-inactivating signaling polypeptide disclosed herein can include a modulating domain and an immune-inactivating moiety, such as a dominant negative signaling moiety or constitutively active signaling moiety. A modulating domain can be characterized by an ability to adopt a first state and a second state, and to transition between the first state and the second state when exposed to a trigger. When the modulating domain is in its first state, the immune-inactivating signaling moiety can be inhibited, and when the modulating domain is in its second state, the inhibition can be relieved. Further disclosed herein are compositions for the delivery of a trigger-responsive immune-inactivating signaling polypeptide. Also, methods for using a trigger-responsive immune-inactivating signaling polypeptide, including to regulate an activity of immune system cells, are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6965850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and agonist/antagonist compounds for modulating nuclear receptor coactivator binding. The invention includes a method for identifying residues comprising a coactivator binding site for a nuclear receptor of interest. Also included is a method of identifying agonists and/or antagonists that bind to a coactivator binding site of a nuclear receptor of interest. Agonists and antagonists of coactivator binding to nuclear receptors also are provided. The invention is exemplified by identification and manipulation of the coactivator binding site of the thyroid receptor (TR), and compounds that bind to this sites. The methods can be applied to other nuclear receptors including RAR, RXR, PPAR, VDR, ER, GR, PR, MR, and AR.
