| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have aimed to obtain the small molecules that regulate the nuclear transcriptional factor, NF-kappaB, consequently find out the lead molecules for the preventive drugs of arteriosclerosis. The chemically synthesized affinity peptide probes that mimic the transactivation domains of NF-kappaB p65 were planned to identify the nuclear co-activator for the NF-kappaB. However, the yield of the chemically synthesized peptide was too low to utilize as an affinity probe, recombinant peptide was used for ths probe alternatively. Using probe this recombinant NF-kappaBp65 TA2 region as a probe, a novel protein specifically interact with this region was found by an affinity pull-down assay and identified. Further analysis is proceeding to reveal the dynamics of this interaction and to reach the goal of this study.
