Journal ArticleDOI

A humanized system for pharmacologic control of gene expression

TL;DR: The properties of a suitable system for pharmacologic control of therapeutic gene expression are reported and its use to control circulating levels of human growth hormone in mice implanted with engineered human cells is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redesigning an FKBP–ligand interface to generate chemical dimerizers with novel specificity

TL;DR: Ligands that bind specifically to a mutated FKBP over the wild-type protein are designed by remodeling an FK BP-ligand interface to introduce a specificity binding pocket and showed that recognition is surprisingly relaxed, with the modified ligand only partially filling the engineered cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of protein secretion through controlled aggregation in the endoplasmic reticulum

TL;DR: A system for direct pharmacologic control of protein secretion was developed to allow rapid and pulsatile delivery of therapeutic proteins and may make gene therapy a viable method for delivery of polypeptides that require rapid and regulated delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile synthetic dimerizer for the regulation of protein-protein interactions.

TL;DR: Several families of readily prepared, totally synthetic, cell-permeable dimerizers composed of ligands for human FKBP12 proved to be exceptionally potent and versatile in all experimental contexts tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term regulated expression of growth hormone in mice after intramuscular gene transfer

TL;DR: In vivo regulation of gene expression after intramuscular injection of two separate adenovirus or adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, one encoding an inducible human growth hormone (hGH) target gene and the other a bipartite rapamycin-regulated transcription factor are demonstrated.
