Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Screening assays that allow for the identification of agents that modulate the activity of N-terminal acetylation of a polypeptide and the Doa10 branch of the N-end rule pathway are provided. Also provided are methods of using an agent that modulates the activity of N-terminal acetylation of a polypeptide and the Doa10 branch of the N-end rule pathway to increase or decrease protein degradation in a cell, and to modulate physiologic and pathologic associated with N-terminal acetylation of a polypeptide and the Doa10 branch of the N-end rule pathway.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of identifying an agent that modulates N α -terminal acetyl transferase-mediated N-end rule pathway-mediated acetylation of an amino terminal (N-terminal) Met, Ala, Val, Ser, Thr, Cys, Gly, or Pro residue of a peptide, comprising: a) contacting at least one sample comprising a peptide having an N-terminal Met, Ala, Val, Ser, Thr, Cys, Gly, or Pro residue of the peptide, wherein the peptide comprises an N-terminal portion of a fusion protein and wher…
