Purified and isolated serine-threonine kinase receptors associated protein and use of same in the modulation of the biological activity of TGF-.beta.

   
   

Isolated and purified proteins and nucleic acids which modulate TGF-.beta. biological activity, including TGF-.beta. signal transduction. Particularly, a novel serine-threonine kinase receptors associated protein (STRAP) and cDNA encoding the same are disclosed. Recombinant host cells, recombinant nucleic acids and recombinant proteins are also disclosed, along with methods of producing each. Isolated and purified antibodies to STRAP, and methods of producing the same, are also disclosed. STRAP is characterized as having TGF-.beta. modulating activity. Thus, therapeutic methods involving this activity are also disclosed.

Proteínas y ácidos nucleic aislados y purificados que modulan TGF-.beta. actividad biológica, incluyendo el transduction de la señal de TGF-.beta.. Particularmente, se divulgan una proteína asociada los receptores del kinase del serine-serine-threonine de la novela (CORREA) y la DNA que codifica igual. Las células huesped recombinant, los ácidos nucleic recombinant y las proteínas recombinant también se divulgan, junto con métodos de producir cada uno. Los anticuerpos aislados y purificados PARA ATAR CON CORREA, y los métodos de producir igual, también se divulgan. La CORREA se caracteriza como teniendo actividad de modulación de TGF-.beta.. Así, los métodos terapéuticos que implican esta actividad también se divulgan.
