    • Novel enzymatic methods to determine the concentration of homocysteine in biological fluids are described. In a typical embodiment of the invention, the biological fluid sample is from a patient, and the methods of the invention are useful to assess risk for cardiovascular disease. The novel methods of the invention involve use of particular homocysteinase enzymes that permit the determination of homocysteine concentrations in biological samples without interference from the concentrations of cysteine and/or of methionine that are routinely present in such samples. There is also provided a diagnostic kit for use in determining the amount of homocysteine in a biological sample comprising (a) a homocysteinase having the aforementioned characteristics, and (b) at least one reagent capable of being used to determine the amount of product formed in the homocysteinase reaction. In a further aspect, the homocysteinase is provided as a chimeric molecule that comprises amino acid subsequences derived from, or patterned on, more than one homocysteinase, and which is typically produced from a chimeric polynucleotide that encodes therefor. Additional enhancements in homocysteine assay methodology include use of the enzyme .gamma.-glutamylcysteine synthetase to further limit any interference from cysteine present in the biological samples.
    • 描述了确定生物液体中同型半胱氨酸浓度的新型酶法。 在本发明的典型实施方案中,生物流体样品来自患者,本发明的方法可用于评估心血管疾病的风险。 本发明的新方法涉及使用特异性同型半胱氨酸酶,其允许在生物样品中测定同型半胱氨酸浓度,而不受这些样品中常规存在的半胱氨酸和/或甲硫氨酸的浓度的干扰。 还提供了用于确定生物样品中同型半胱氨酸量的诊断试剂盒,其包含(a)具有上述特征的同型半胱氨酸酶,和(b)至少一种能够用于测定形成的产物量的试剂 同型半胱氨酸酶反应。 在另一方面,提供同型半胱氨酸酶作为嵌合分子,其包含衍生自或多于一种同型半胱氨酸酶的图案化的氨基酸亚序列,并且其通常由其编码的嵌合多核苷酸产生。 同型半胱氨酸测定方法的其它改进包括使用γ-谷氨酰半胱氨酸合成酶来进一步限制存在于生物样品中的半胱氨酸的任何干扰。

    • A depletion method to inhibit tumor growth includes introducing a viral expression system capable of expressing methioninase or a fusion protein containing methioninase into a tumor contained in a vertebrate subject or cells thereof. The fusion protein may contain a fluorescent protein to permit monitoring of the completeness of the depletion method. The fusion protein can be used in vivo as well as in vitro screening protocols which employ the viral expression system. The expression system includes control sequences and means to integrate the nucleotide sequence into the genome of a host cell for expression. The method may also include treating the cells with isolated methioninase and/or with a therapeutic cell. The depletion method can be with other known therapies, such as maintaining the animal having the tumor on a methionine depleted diet.
    • 抑制肿瘤生长的消耗方法包括将能够表达蛋氨酸酶的病毒表达系统或含有蛋氨酸酶的融合蛋白引入到脊椎动物对象或其细胞中所含的肿瘤中。 融合蛋白可以含有荧光蛋白以允许监测耗尽方法的完整性。 融合蛋白可以在体内以及使用病毒表达系统的体外筛选方案中使用。 表达系统包括将核苷酸序列整合到宿主细胞的基因组中用于表达的控制序列和方法。 该方法还可以包括用分离的蛋氨酸酶和/或用治疗细胞处理细胞。 耗尽方法可以与其他已知的疗法一起使用,例如将具有肿瘤的动物维持在消耗蛋氨酸的饮食上。
