  • Publication number: 20110136793
    Abstract: Patients which are treated with stimulants (e.g., CNS stimulants, sympathomimetic amine, or anorectic/anorexigenic), such as patients being treated for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or obesity, often are atrisk in developing high blood pressure. Similarly, patients which are treated with analgesics such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) over an extended period of time risk developing high blood pressure. These and other iatrogenic therapies (therapies which inadvertently cause an increase in, e.g., blood pressure) are addressed by providing the patient with one or more antihypertensive drugs, most preferably calcium channel blockers, during the treatment period. The CNS or NSAIDs can be provided separately or together with the antihypertensive drugs or as part of a combined composition. The adjunctive therapy can prevent or reduces cardiovascular disease and other complications of high blood pressure attendant with these iatrogenic therapies.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to various nucleases and uses thereof, and in some cases, to the UPF0054 protein superfamily. Members of the UPF0054 protein superfamily, such as the E. coli protein YbeY, may possess RNase activity and may be involved in certain important cellular processes. Disruption of YbeY activity can lead to increased sensitivity to antibiotics. Accordingly, certain embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for screening target compounds for activity against UPF0054 superfamily proteins. In some embodiments, the screening method allows to target compositions to be determined that show selective activity against UPF0054 superfamily proteins. Other embodiments of the invention provide for nucleases capable of site-specific cleavage of nucleic acids.
