The present invention provides a vaccine for enteroviruses. In view of the structure of enteroviruses, particularly VP0's cleaving VP2 and VP4, it was discovered that said cleaving affects immunogenicity. In other words, it is believed that designing a vaccine including a large amount of VP2 and VP4 as polypeptides which exhibit immunogenicity leads to providing a vaccine which exhibits high immunogenicity. Polypeptides including VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4 derived from an enterovirus are produced, and these polypeptides are confirmed to have a high effect as an immunogen against enteroviruses.

Abrégé
Protein ubiquitylation, an essential post-translational modification, regulates almost every cellular process including protein degradation, protein trafficking, signal transduction, and DNA damage response in eukaryotic cells. The diverse functions of ubiquitylation are thought to be mediated by distinct chain topologies resulting from eight different ubiquitin linkages, chain lengths, and complexities. Currently, ubiquitin linkages are generally thought to be a critical determinant of ubiquitin signaling. However, ubiquitin chain lengths, another key element of ubiquitin signaling, have not been well documented especially in vivo situation during past three decades from the discovery of ubiquitin. The reason of this was simply because no method has been available for determination of ubiquitin chain length in endogenous ubiquitylated substrates. In the present invention, a practical technique for determining the actual length of substrate-attached polyubiquitin chains from biological samples is established. Using the method, the mean length of substrate-attached polyubiquitin chains was determined and the robustness of ubiquitin chain length regulation in cells is investigated. The following is a summary of findings in this invention: 1. A method for determining ubiquitin chain length was developed and this method was named ‘ubiquitin protection from trypsinization’ (Ub-ProT). 2. Using Ub-ProT, it was determined that the mean length of substrate-attached ubiquitin chains is in the dimer to decamer range. 3. By quantitative proteomics, it was found that the mean lengths of five major types of ubiquitin chains can be divided into two groups. 4. Proteasome-inhibition did not alter the mean length of substrate-attached polyubiquitin chains, indicating that cells have a robust system for regulating ubiquitin chain length.

The present invention provides antibodies useful for diagnosing and treating tumors as well as methods of screening for antitumor agents. More specifically, tumors can be diagnosed and treated using an anti-phosphorylated p62 antibody that recognizes phosphorylation of serine at position 351 of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 or at a position corresponding thereto. An antitumor agent can be obtained by screening for a substance that inhibits the phosphorylation or that dephosphorylates the phosphorylated serine.

The present invention provides a method for efficiently identifying a polyubiquitinated substrate, which is generally difficult to identify. This method for identifying a polyubiquitinated substrate has (1) a step for causing a trypsin-resistant polyubiquitin chain binding protein and ubiquitin ligase to be expressed in a cell, (2) a step for separating a complex containing the trypsin-resistant polyubiquitin chain binding protein from the cell subsequent to step (1), (3) a step for trypsin-digesting the complex separated by step (2), and (4) a step for identifying a peptide including a ubiquitinated site from the digest obtained by step (3).

Abrégé
Protein ubiquitylation, an essential post-translational modification, regulates almost every cellular process including protein degradation, protein trafficking, signal transduction, and DNA damage response in eukaryotic cells. The diverse functions of ubiquitylation are thought to be mediated by distinct chain topologies resulting from eight different ubiquitin linkages, chain lengths, and complexities. Currently, ubiquitin linkages are generally thought to be a critical determinant of ubiquitin signaling. However, ubiquitin chain lengths, another key element of ubiquitin signaling, have not been well documented especially in vivo situation during past three decades from the discovery of ubiquitin. The reason of this was simply because no method has been available for determination of ubiquitin chain length in endogenous ubiquitylated substrates. In the present invention, a practical technique for determining the actual length of substrate-attached polyubiquitin chains from biological samples is established. Using the method, the mean length of substrate-attached polyubiquitin chains was determined and the robustness of ubiquitin chain length regulation in cells is investigated. The following is a summary of findings in this invention: 1. A method for determining ubiquitin chain length was developed and this method was named ‘ubiquitin protection from trypsinization’ (Ub-ProT). 2. Using Ub-ProT, it was determined that the mean length of substrate-attached ubiquitin chains is in the dimer to decamer range. 3. By quantitative proteomics, it was found that the mean lengths of five major types of ubiquitin chains can be divided into two groups. 4. Proteasome-inhibition did not alter the mean length of substrate-attached polyubiquitin chains, indicating that cells have a robust system for regulating ubiquitin chain length.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a therapeutic agent for hepatitis C containing an RRM2 antagonist as the active ingredient, an oligoribonucleotide for suppressing the expression of RRM2, a vector for expressing the oligoribonucleotide, and a method for inhibiting the expression of RRM2 by combining the oligoribonucleotide with RRM2 RNA. In order to solve the problem, the present inventors first identified the siRNA sequence that binds to the IRES region of HCV and that exhibits RNAi activity against the ribonucleotide reductase M2 subunit that has been recognized as having an important role in HCV replication, and then reverse transfected the siRNA molecules into persistently HCV-infected cells and measured replicon cytotoxicity. As a result, the siRNA molecules of the present invention were found to exhibit significant HCV replication-suppressing activity.

An analysis is pursued mainly on siE sequences, which have been believed to have an RNAi activity against HCV virus RNA, by selecting mainly D5-50 and D5-197 regions occurring in an IRES region, and siRNA sequences each having a more effective RNAi activity against hepatitis C virus RNA are successfully identified. It is also found that each of the siRNA sequences also has a significant inhibitory effect on in vivo HCV proliferation.

Abrégé
It is found that a biologically active substance contained in an endoplasmic reticulum can be delivered to a hepatocyte efficiently and specifically by adsorbing or chemically binding vitamin E to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. This can be achieved by utilizing a serum component's property to deliver vitamin E to a hepatocyte.
