| | In Vitro Hsp70 Dose Response Fluorescence Polarization Assay for SAR Study |
| Description: | Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI, San Diego, CA) NIH Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network (MLSCN) MLSCN Grant: XO1 MH079863-01 Assay Provider: Dr. John C. Reed, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute This Hsp70 dose response assay is developed and performed for the purpose of SAR study on analogs of hits originally identified in the fluorescence polarization HTS assay for Hsp70 Inhibitors (AID 583). Over-expression of molecular chaperones occurs commonly in cancers and provides protection from a wide variety of cellular stresses, both endogenous and iatrogenic. Molecular chaperones also play important roles in maintaining the activity of several signal-transducing proteins and transcriptions factors involved in malignant transformation. The human genome contains nine Hsp70-family genes. These chaperones include Hsp70 and Hsc70, which are commonly over-expressed in cancers and which confer resistance |
