Summary for Patent: 5,610,052
Title: Enzymatic RNA with activity to ras
Abstract:An enzymatic RNA molecule which cleaves mRNA associated with development or maintenance of colon carcinoma.
Inventor(s): Thompson; James D. (Boulder, CO), Draper; Kenneth G. (Boulder, CO)
Assignee: Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Boulder, CO)
Application Number:07/936,110
Patent Claims:1. The enzymatic RNA molecule which specifically cleaves K-ras RNA.

2. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1 wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule is in a hairpin, hepatitis delta virus, group I intron or RNase P RNA motif.

3. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1 which specifically cleaves the sequence shown as any of SEQ. ID. NOS. 1-26, wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule is in the hepatitis delta virus motif.

4. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1 wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule is in a hammerhead motif.

5. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1, which specifically cleaves the sequence shown as any of SEQ. ID. NOS. 1,4-15,17-23, 25 or 26--26, wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule is in the hammerhead motif.

6. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1 wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule comprises between 5 and 23 bases complementary to said RNA.

7. The enzymatic RNA molecule of claim 1 wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule comprises between 10 and 18 bases complementary to said RNA.

8. The enzymatic RNA molecule of any one of claims 1-7 wherein the enzymatic RNA molecule comprises an 2'-O-methyl modification in at least one sugar moiety.

9. The enzymatic RNA molecule of any one of claim 1-7 or wherein said enzymatic RNA molecule comprises at least one phosphorothioate group.

10. A mammalian cell comprised of an enzymatic RNA molecule of any one of claims 1-7.

11. The cell of claim 10, wherein the cell is a human cell.

12. A mammalian cell comprised of a nucleic acid encoding the enzymatic RNA molecule of any one of claims 1-7 in a manner which allows expression of the enzymatic RNA molecule within the mammalian cell.
