Novel primate chitinases (pNC) and nucleic acids encoding these chitinases are disclosed. The pNCs of the invention are homologous to human acidic mammalian chitinases (hAMCase) and human chitotriosidase, in terms of their exon/intron genomic structure and conserved catalytic sites. The polypeptides and nucleic acids of the invention can be used to develop, and/or screen for, modulators of chitinase-activities, e.g., antisense, antibodies, RNAi. The modulators identified using methods and reagents disclosed herein can be used to reduce chitinase-associated inflammatory conditions.

US Classification:
514 44, 514564
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods useful for detecting or treating asthma or other allergic or inflammatory diseases. In one aspect, the methods of the present invention include inhibiting the activity or expression of a component of an arginine metabolic pathway in tissues affected by asthma or other allergic or inflammatory diseases. In many embodiments, the component being inhibited is a cationic amino acid transporter, an arginase, or a component downstream of the arginase. In many other embodiments, the activity or expression of the component is inhibited by an agent that binds to the component. In still many other embodiments, the activity or expression of the component is inhibited by an agent that binds a polynucleotide encoding the component.
