Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

NCAPG2, a component of condensin complex II, protein and novel peptides derived from the protein are provided. The peptide may include a fragment of the NCAPG2 protein. The peptide may be a peptide including a fragment of NCAPG2 protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, wherein the fragment includes the amino acid residue number 805 or 1010 of SEQ ID NO: 7, a peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, or a peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11. The protein or peptides can be used for preparing and screening pharmaceutical compositions for treating diseases or disorders associated with abnormal cell division including cancer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a cancer in a subject in need thereof comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a peptide comprised of a fragment of the NCAPG2 protein as an active ingredient to the subject, wherein the peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 8 or 11. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 8 or 11 has phosphorylated threonine. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide inhibits the normal mitosis of cancer cells by blocking the normal PLK1-Substrate binding by interacting with PLK1.
