  • Interference peptides and use thereof
    Patent number: 10201610
    Abstract: A purified and isolated peptide comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8. A method is also provided for preventing interaction, e.g. binding, of EN1 with EPRS in a cell by introducing, into the cell, a peptide having a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8, which results in the peptide interacting with EPRS thereby preventing an interaction of EPRS with EN1. Apoptosis can be induced in a cell expressing either or both of EN1 and EN2, by introducing into the cell, a peptide of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8.

  • Zinc finger libraries
    Publication number: 20060078880
    Abstract: A library of multimeric DNA binding polypeptides is provided. Preferred such polypeptides are zinc finger protein DNA binding domains. Libraries of nucleotides encoding such polypeptides, expression vectors containing such nucleotides, cells containing any of the libraries and uses of the libraries are also provided.
