Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080227848 | Assays - A method of identifying an agent which modulates 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenase activity, the method comprising contacting a 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenase and a test agent in the presence of a substrate comprising one or more ankyrin repeat, or fragment thereof, in conditions under which the substrate is hydroxylated in the absence of the test agent; and determining hydroxylation of the substrate. | 09-18-2008 |
20090286858 | ASSAYS FOR MODULATORS OF ASPARAGINYL HYDROXYLASE - The present invention is directed to methods of identifying an agent which modulates hydroxylation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF), comprising contacting a HIF asparagine hydroxylase and a test substance in the presence of a substrate of the hydroxylase under conditions in which asparagine in the substrate is hydroxylated in the absence of the test substance; and determining hydroxylation of the substrate. | 11-19-2009 |
20100272726 | Assays, methods and means - A novel class of hydroxylases is described having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, 6 and 8, and variants and fragments thereof having HIF hydroxylation activity. The polypeptides of the invention have in particular prolyl hydroxylase activity. An assay method monitors the interaction of the HIF hydroxylase with a substrate. Modulators of HIF hydroxylase are provided for use in the treatment of a condition associated with increased or decreased HIF levels or activity or for the treatment of a condition where it is desirable to modulate HIF levels or activity. | 10-28-2010 |
20100330668 | Interaction Between the VHL Tumour Suppressor and Hypoxia Inducible Factor, and Assay Methods Relating Thereto - The invention relates to the finding that the VHL tumour suppressor protein regulates hypoxia inducible factor α subunits, by targeting HIF α for destruction in normoxic, but not hypoxic cells. The invention provides assays for modulators of this interaction, and peptides based upon HIF α subunit sequences which may modulate this interaction. | 12-30-2010 |
