Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objectives are outlined in the title. Accordingly, we developed a novel bioinformatics method. This method was applicable to various genomes, and the function of the identified peptides was confirmed empirically by a transient in vitro assay. Moreover, we observed in vitro inhibition of growth of a sarcoma, murine sarcoma Sendai (MUSS) by 4E-BP peptides that inhibited the growth of various carcinomas in vitro.
