ABSTRACT:
Novel CARD-3, CARD-4L, CARD-4S, CARD-4Y, CARD-4Z, and murine CARD-4L polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. In addition to isolated CARD-3, CARD-4L, CARD-4S, CARD-4Y, CARD-4Z, and murine CARD-4L proteins, and the invention further provides CARD-3, CARD-4L, CARD-4S, CARD-4Y, CARD-4Z, and murine CARD-4L fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-CARD-3, anti-CARD-4L and anti-CARD-4S, anti-CARD-4Y, anti-CARD-4Z, and anti-murine CARD-4L antibodies. The invention also provides CARD-3, CARD-4L, CARD-4S, CARD-4Y, CARD-4Z, and murine CARD-4L nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced and non-human transgenic animals in which a CARD-3, CARD-4L, CARD-4S, CARD-4Y, CARD-4Z, and murine CARD-4L gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention further provides CARD-3 and CARD-4 target proteins that bind to CARD-3 or CARD-4 and allelic variants of human CARD-4. Diagnostic, screening and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
