Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  uHTS identification of small molecule antagonists of the binding of Siah-1 and a peptide ligand via a fluorescence polarization assay.
Description:  Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Number: 1 R03 MH086475-01 Assay Provider: Dr. John C. Reed, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, San Diego CA Proteasomal degradation typically requires post-translational modification of target proteins with K48-linked polyubiquitin chains. This process of protein proteolysis plays a key role in normal cellular function. The E3 ubiquitin ligase, Siah-1, facilitates the transfer of ubiquitin to its substrate proteins destined for degradation by way of its RING domain. Siah-1 is a member of a family of highly conserved RING domain proteins, which regulate a variety of cellular functions, including cell cycle arrest, tumor suppression, and apoptosis through the beta-catenin degradation pathway. Siah-1 has also been identified as a p53-inducible gene, functi
