  • Publication number: 20060257872
    Abstract: Host nucleic acids and host proteins that participate in viral infection, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza A, and Ebola virus, have been identified. Interfering with or disrupting the interaction between a host nucleic acid or host protein and a virus or viral protein confers an inhibition of or resistance to infection. Thus, interfering with such an interaction in a host subject can confer a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against a virus. The sequences identified can be used to identify agents that reduce or inhibit viral infection.

  • Publication number: 20060073582
    Abstract: The present invention relates to crystalline Rab9 in complex with either GDP or the GTP analog Guanosine 5?-(?,?-imido) triphosphate (GppNHp), the three dimensional coordinates and structures of Rab9 in Rab9-GDP and Rab9-GppNHp complexes, and uses thereof for drug design. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for producing Rab9 crystals of sufficient quality to obtain a determination of the three dimensional structure of Rab9 to a high resolution in both its GTP-bound (on/active) and GDP-bound (off/inactive) conformations. The present invention also relates to a computer-readable medium encoded with the three dimensional coordinates of Rab9 in Rab9-GDP and Rab9-GppNHp complexes wherein, using a graphical display software program, the three dimensional coordinates create an electronic file that can be visualized on a computer capable of representing the electronic file as a three dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 6903155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to tires suitable for bearing heavy loads, and to the use of a rubber composition to form the treads of such tires which delays the appearance of irregular wear on the treads of such tires during travel. The invention applies to tires for motor vehicles, such as heavy vehicles, construction vehicles or aircraft. The rubber composition comprises: an elastomeric matrix comprising majoritarily at least one diene elastomer having at one or more of its chain ends a functional group which is active for coupling to a reinforcing white filler, a reinforcing filler comprising at least 50% by weight a reinforcing white filler, and a reinforcing white filler/functionalized diene elastomer bonding agent. The present invention relates to tires suitable for bearing heavy loads, and to the use of the rubber composition to delay the appearance of irregular wear on the treads of such tires during travel.
