Patent

CA 2374674

The present invention relates to a novel human gene encoding a polypeptide which is a member of the TNF receptor family, and has now been found to bind TRAIL. More specifically, an isolated nucleic acid molecule is provided encoding a human polypeptide named tumor necrosis factor receptor-5, sometimes referred to as "TNFR-5" or "TR5", and now referred to hereinafter as "TRAIL receptor without intracellular domain" or "TRID". TRID polypeptides are also provided, as are vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for producing the same. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists or antagonists of TRAIL polypeptide activity. Also provided are diagnostic and therapeutic methods utilizing such compositions.

Cette invention se rapporte à un nouveau gène humain codant un polypeptide faisant partie de la famille des récepteurs du facteur de nécrose tumorale (TNF) et dont on a découvert qu'il se fixe au ligand TRAIL. Cette invention présente plus spécifiquement une molécule d'acide nucléique isolée codant un polypeptide humain appelé récepteur 5 du facteur de nécrose tumorale, parfois appelé TNFR-5 ou TR5 et que l'on désigne ici par l'expression "récepteur TRAIL sans domaine intracellulaire" ou TRID. Cette invention concerne également des polypeptides TRID, ainsi que des vecteurs, des cellules hôtes et des procédés recombinants servant à leur production. Cette invention se rapporte en outre à des procédés de criblage permettant d'identifier des agonistes ou des antagonistes de l'activité des polypeptides TRAIL, ainsi qu'à des procédés diagnostiques et thérapeutiques utilisant de telles compositions.
