Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application 02818632.X "Nucleic Acid, Polypeptide, and Method for Regulating Cell Apoptosis" filed on July 23, 2002. technical field
[0002] The present invention relates to the nucleic acid and polypeptide of apoptosis-specific eukaryotic initiation factor-5A (eIF-5A) and deoxy 8-hydroxy-2,7,10-triaminodecanoic acid synthase (DHS), and the use thereof Apoptosis-specific methods of eIF-5A and DHS to regulate apoptosis. Background technique
[0003] Apoptosis is a genetically programmed cellular event characterized by well-defined morphological features such as cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, and membrane blebbing. Kerr et al. (1972) Br. J. Cancer, 26, 239-257; Wyllie et al. (1980) Int. Rev. Cytol., 68, 251-306. It plays an important role in normal tissue development and homeostasis, and defects in the apoptotic program are thought to contribute to a variety of human disease...
