Abstract
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 39267 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel kinase family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 39267 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 39267 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 39267 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-39267 antibodies. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
Claims20
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:
- a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 80% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 66 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, wherein the fragment encodes a polypeptide which can bind to another structure or protein;
- c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- d) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a biologically active fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, wherein the fragment comprises at least 8 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- and
- e) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a naturally occurring allelic variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising SEQ ID NO:1, 3, 4, 6, or a complement thereof, under stringent conditions.
The host cell of claim 5 which is a mammalian host cell.
An isolated polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:
- a) a polypeptide which is encoded by a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or a complement thereof;
- b) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:5;
- c) a naturally occurring allelic variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, wherein the polypeptide is encoded by a nucleic acid molecule which hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, or a complement thereof under stringent conditions;
- and
- d) a biologically active fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:5, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, wherein the fragment comprises at least 8 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:5.
