In Formula 1, (A)n motif represents an amino acid sequence consisting of 4 to 20 amino acid residues and the number of alanine residues relative to the total number of amino acid residues in the (A)n motif is 83% or more. REP represents an amino acid sequence consisting of 10 to 200 amino acid residues. m represents an integer of 10 to 300, A plurality of (A)n motifs and the like may be the same amino acid sequence or different amino acid sequences.

  • Publication number: 20190233482
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding a monomeric green/yellow fluorescent proteins, and fragments and derivatives thereof. Also provided is a method for engineering the nucleic acid sequence, a vector comprising the nucleic acid sequence, a host cell comprising the vector, and use of the vector in a method for expressing the nucleic acid sequence. The present invention further provides an isolated nucleic acid, or mimetic or complement thereof, that hybridizes under stringent conditions to the nucleic acid sequence. Additionally, the present invention provides a monomeric green/yellow fluorescent protein encoded by the nucleic acid sequence, as well as derivatives, fragments, and homologues thereof. Also provided is an antibody that specifically binds to the green/yellow fluorescent protein.

  • Publication number: 20190233483
    Abstract: The invention concerns derivatives of CMAP27, which have a good antimicrobial activity and a low haemolytic activity as compared to the wild-type CMAP27 peptide. These derivatives can be used for antibiotic therapy or in a bacteriocidal composition. Further comprised in the invention is the use of CMAP27 and/or its derivatives as adjuvant.

  • Publication number: 20190233484
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for diagnosing and detecting diseases associated with kidney. The present invention provides one or more proteins or fragments thereof, peptides or nucleic acid molecules differentially expressed in kidney diseases (KCAT) and antibodies binds to KCATs. The present invention provides that KCATs are used as targets for screening agents that modulates the KCAT activities. Further the present invention provides methods for treating diseases associated with kidney.

  • Publication number: 20190233487
    Abstract: Peptide analogues of ?-amyloid and methods of using said analogues for neuroprotection are described herein. The ?-amyloid peptide analogues have a sequence that is at least 50% identical to an N-terminal ?-amyloid core fragment. A pharmaceutical composition of the ?-amyloid peptide analogues in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be administered to a subject for neuromodulation. The ?-amyloid peptide analogues, while lacking neurotoxicity, effectively provides for protective activity against ?-amyloid toxicity.
