Latest Patents
Ming Luo holds a patent titled "Mammalian Staufen and Use Thereof." This invention relates to mammalian staufen, a double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in mRNA transport and localization. The patent demonstrates the association of this RNA-binding protein with the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), implicating staufen and related proteins in the transport of RNA to its site of translation. The invention also covers isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding mammalian staufen, as well as vectors and host cells harboring these molecules. Furthermore, it includes screening assays for identifying modulators of staufen activity and the identification of mutants that disrupt their interaction with the RER. Notably, the invention explores the use of staufen's double-stranded RNA binding activity to target proteins into virions, which could significantly decrease the infectivity of various RNA viruses, including retroviruses.
