Embodiment Construction

[0028] I. Definitions

[0029]“ADP” refers to adenosine diphosphate and also includes ADP analogs, including, but not limited to, deoxyadenosine diphosphate (dADP) and adenosine analogs. “Antibody” refers to a polypeptide substantially encoded by an immunoglobulin gene or immunoglobulin genes, or fragments thereof which specifically bind and recognize an analyte (antigen). The recognized immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes. Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. Heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively. The term antibody also includes antibody fragments either produced by the modification of whole antibodies or those synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA methodologies.

Abstract

The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of KinI-3, antibodies to KinI-3, methods of screening for KinI-3 modulators using biologically active KinI-3, and kits for screening for KinI-3 modulators.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 09 / 675,227, filed Sep. 29, 2000, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of KinI-3 (Accession number AL353662), methods of detecting KinI-3 and screening for KinI-3 modulators using biologically active KinI-3, and kits for screening for KinI-3 modulators. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The kinesin superfamily is an extended family of related microtubule motor proteins. It can be classified into at least 8 subfamilies based on primary amino acid sequence, domain structure, velocity of movement, and cellular function. This family is exemplified by “true” kinesin, which was first isolated from the axoplasm of squid, where it is believed to play a role in anterograde axonal transport of vesicles and organelles (see, e.g., Goldstein, Annu. Rev. Ge...
