National Institutes of Nursing Research; Notice of Meeting, 52892-52893 [07-4568]

Download as PDF 52892 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 179 / Monday, September 17, 2007 / Notices MyoD, which is an inhibitor of the CDK4. CDK4 is one of a number of cyclin-dependent kinases which control progression through the cell cycle through their ability to phosphorylate particular substrates at the correct phase of the cell cycle. CDK4 has been shown to be involved in cell cycle control through its ability to regulate the activity of the retinoblastoma protein, pRb, an activator of genes essential for cell division. Inhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinases, such as the peptides described in this invention, prevent cell cycle progression and induce cells to exit the cell cycle into the Go state. The peptides described in this invention prevent the phosphorylation of pRb by CDK4, an obligate step for entry into the cell cycle. Osteosarcomas and habdosarcomas are two types of tumors known to over-express pRb. The inhibitor described in this invention may be useful in treating these cancers or other diseases which have been specifically linked to over-expression of active pRb. Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize the described cdk4 inhibitory peptides or equivalent peptide mimetics. Please contact John D. Hewes, PhD at 301–435–3121 or hewesj@mail.nih.gov for more information. Applications Pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), notice is hereby given of a meeting of the Board of Scientific Counselors, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The meeting will be closed to the public as indicated below in accordance with the provisions set forth in section 552b(c)(6), Title 5 U.S.C., as amended for the review, discussion, and evaluation of individual intramural programs and projects conducted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders And Stroke, including consideration of personnel qualifications and performance, and the competence of individual investigators, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Method to treat proliferative disorders, including cancer. Anti-proliferative therapeutics. Research tool to study the cell cycle. Advantages: Expression of this peptide either as a fusion protein with GST or GFP results in the cessation of cell growth. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Market An estimated 1,444,920 new cancer diagnoses in the U.S. in 2007. 600,000 deaths caused by cancer in the U.S. in 2006.
