Abstract

Peptides derived from the C2 regions of εPKC and methods of use, thereof, are described. These peptides modulate the activity of εPKC in an animal model of acute ischemic heart disease.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for modulating ischemic cardiac damage in a mammalian subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a peptide comprising a contiguous amino acid sequence derived from the C2 domain of εPKC. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the peptide does not include an amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 85-92 of the C2 domain of εPKC. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the εPKC peptide is not ψεRACK (SEQ ID NO:18). 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the εPKC peptide comprises a contiguous amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 28-35, 49-60, and 74-79, of εPKC. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the εPKC peptide comprises a contiguous amino acid sequence corresponding to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:1.3, and SEQ ID NO:16. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the εPKC peptide comprises a contiguous amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 28-35, 49-53, and 74-79, of εPKC. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the εPKC peptide comprises a contiguous amino acid sequence corresponding to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 12, and SEQ ID NO: 16. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the εPKC peptide corresponds to the beta-sandwich region of the C2 domain of εPKC. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the peptide is conjugated to a carrier peptide. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the carrier peptide comprises SEQ ID NO:31 or SEQ ID NO:32. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the peptide is cross-linked to the carrier peptide by an N-terminal Cys-Cys bond. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mammalian subject is a heart transplant patient.
