Rna Monomers Containing O-Acetal Levulinyl Ester Groups And Their Use In Rna Microarrays

View page
US Patent:
20120178638, Jul 12, 2012
Filed:
Sep 4, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/061022
Inventors:
Masad Damha - St-Hubert, CA
Jeremy Lackey - San Jose CA, US
Debbie Mitra - Ottawa, CA

Franco Cerrina - Madison WI, US
Saima A. Akhtar - Niskayuna NY, US
Mark Somoza - Weidling, AT
Assignee:
WISCONSIN ALUMNI RESEARCH FOUNDATION - Madison WI
International Classification:
C40B 30/04
C07H 21/02
C40B 40/06
C07H 19/10
C07H 19/20
US Classification:
506 9, 536 268, 536 267, 506 16, 536 243
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to RNA monomers comprising O-acetal levulinyl protecting groups at the 2′ and/or the 5′-hydroxy functionalities of the ribose moiety. Said monomers may be incorporated into oligoribonucleotides or RNA polynucleotides. Furthermore, the invention is directed to methods for the synthesis of said RNA monomers, oligoribonucleotides and RNA polynucleotides, as well as methods for their deprotection and methods for the use of said compounds and compositions comprising said compounds. In particular, such compounds and compositions comprising them are used in methods for light-directed synthesis of RNA microarrays.

Tethered Function Assay For Protein Function

View page
US Patent:
59855754, Nov 16, 1999
Filed:
May 20, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/081731
Inventors:
Marvin P. Wickens - Madison WI
Roy Parker - Tucson AZ
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
The Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona - Tucson AR
International Classification:
C12Q 168
C07K 1600
C07H 2104
US Classification:
435 6
Abstract:
A method for determining the function of a test protein is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, this method comprises the steps of fusing a test protein to an RNA-binding protein and exposing the fusion protein to recombinant reporter mRNA molecule that comprises a binding site for the RNA-binding protein in the 3' untranslated region. One then observes the properties of reporter mRNA and correlates the reporter properties with test protein function.

9/361727
Inventors:
Marvin P. Wickens - Madison WI

Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI

System To Detect Protein-Rna Interactions

View page
US Patent:
57506671, May 12, 1998
Filed:
Nov 12, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/747183
Inventors:
Marvin P. Wickens - Madison WI
Stanley Fields - Setauket NY
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
C07H 2102
C12Q 168
US Classification:
536 231
Abstract:
A method for detecting an interaction between an RNA-binding protein and a test RNA molecule is disclosed. This method comprises providing a host cell containing a detectable gene. The detectable gene expresses a detectable protein when the detectable gene is activated by an amino acid sequence including a transcriptional activation domain when the transcriptional activation domain is in sufficient proximity to the detectable gene. First, second and third chimeric genes are also provided. The first chimeric gene comprises a DNA-binding domain that recognizes a binding site on the detectable gene in the host cell and a first RNA-binding domain. The second chimeric gene comprises a transcriptional activation domain and a second RNA-binding domain. The third chimeric gene comprises a first RNA sequence capable of binding to either the first or second RNA-binding and a second RNA sequence to be tested for interaction with the RNA-binding protein not bound to the first RNA sequence. Interaction between both the first RNA-binding domain and the hybrid RNA and the second RNA-binding domain and the hybrid RNA in the host cell causes expression of the detectable gene.

US Patent:
57260591, Mar 10, 1998
Filed:
Jun 6, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/467038
Inventors:
Marvin P. Wickens - Madison WI
Michael D. Sheets - Berkeley CA
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
C12N 500
C12N 502
C12N 1500
C07H 2102
US Classification:
435375
Abstract:
Translation characteristics of an mRNA molecule in a cell can be altered by providing a prosthetic RNA molecule that includes a regulatory sequence element and a sequence element complementary to a portion of the mRNA molecule. Alteration can affect the translation rate, the mRNA stability, or the localization of the mRNA molecule.
