Latest Patents
Susan Tsunoda holds a patent for "Compositions and methods for identifying modulators of transducisomes." This invention provides cells and methods for identifying modulators of signal transduction, based on transducisome proteins that coordinate and assemble various types of signal transduction proteins. A transducisome is defined as a PDZ domain-containing protein that binds at least one signal transduction protein or a PDZ domain-containing protein with at least one signal transduction protein bound. Examples of transducisome proteins include INAD, GRIP, and other recently identified multi-PDZ domain proteins. The patent also outlines methods for identifying modulators of signal transduction, proteins corresponding to transducisomes, modified transducisomes, or defective transducisomes for use in assays of signal transduction, along with a screening assay system for detecting protein-protein interactions. Susan Tsunoda has 1 patent to her name.
