SYNTHETIC PROTEIN CIRCUITS DETECTING SIGNAL TRANSDUCER ACTIVITY
Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and kits suitable for use in detecting the activation level of a signal transducer. In some embodiments, there are provided synthetic protein circuits wherein recruitment of synthetic protein circuit components to an association location upon activation of a signal transducer generates an active effector protein. The effector protein can be configured to carry out a variety of functions when in an active state, such as, for example, inducing cell death. Methods of treating a disease or disorder characterized by aberrant signaling are provided in some embodiments.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING, PREVENTING, AND TREATING AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH HYPOFUNCTIONAL ANTI-TRYPSIN ACTIVITY
The disclosure provides biomarkers for ALS. The disclosure also provides various methods of using the biomarkers, including methods for diagnosis of ALS, methods of determining predisposition to ALS, methods of monitoring progression/regression of ALS, methods of assessing efficacy of treatment modalities for treating ALS, methods of screening compositions for activity in modulating biomarkers of ALS, methods of treating ALS, as well as other methods based on biomarkers of ALS. The disclosure also provides various methods of treating other diseases, disorders, and conditions. One method includes analyzing levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT, also known as AAT or PI), encoded by the serpinA1 gene or protein as a biomarker indicative of ALS. The levels or concentrations of the biomarkers can be used to determine the onset of ALS, monitor the progression of ALS, or monitor the progression of a treatment for ALS.
