Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 161,699, filed March 19, 2009. The applications listed above, including the drawings, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0002] sequence listing
[0003] Pursuant to 37 CFR §1.52(e)(5), the sequence listing submitted via EFS is incorporated herein by reference. Sequence Listing text files submitted via EFS include file "SequenceListing75WPCT" created on February 25, 2010, which is 109,874 bytes in size. Background of the invention
[0004] Bach1 is a transcriptional repressor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and other Nrf2-dependent phase II genes. The transcription factor Bach1 belongs to the cap'n'collar (CNC) and basic region leucine zipper superfamily of transcriptional regulators (termed CNC-bZip). Furthermore, Bach1 represents in its N-terminal region the so-called broad complex, tram-track, bric-a-brac (BTB) domain (also known as poxvirus and zinc finger (POZ) domain). ...
