蛋白-蛋白相互作用(protein-protein interaction, PPI)是生物信息调控的主要实现方式,在生物过程中有着非常重要的作用,是决定细胞命运的关键因素,科学家们已经发现很多蛋白质之间存在相互作用,而且与人类疾病相关的蛋白-蛋白相互作用正通过基因组学和蛋白质组学不断被发现。在传统药物的作用中,药物靶标通常为酶或受体,而蛋白-蛋白相互作用则展示了一类新的、重要的疾病治疗切入点。

杨森制药有限公司(Janssen Pharmaceutica)递交了一个新型化合物专利申请WO2018050686A1,该化合物即以Menin/MLL蛋白为标的,为蛋白相互作用抑制剂,可用于治疗白血病及癌症。

Menin/MLL蛋白简介

混合谱系白血病基因1(Mixed lineage leukemia gene 1),简称MML1或MLL,属于组蛋白赖氨酸-N甲基转移酶2A(KMT2A),负责甲基化组蛋白H3中赖氨酸4(H3K4)的一种酶,而且在多种蛋白复合物中有重要作用。

研究表明,MML1对维持造血干细胞以及B细胞的发育具有重要作用,但组蛋白甲基转移功能对造血功能并不是必须的。已知MLL1基因会发生染色体异位,染色体异位指染色体的一部分在细胞分裂过程中不正常的移位到另一条染色体或该染色体的其他位置,MLL1基因的染色体异位和各年龄段的急性白血病有明显关系。

白血病是一种起始于造血组织如骨髓的癌症,产生大量不正常的白细胞进入血液循环中。白血病分为急性和慢性两种,急性白血病来势凶猛,病程发展迅速,需要及时采取有效的治疗。MLL1基因异位引起的急性白血病可分为淋巴性白血病、骨髓性白血病或两种表型均有,约占5%的成年患者和70%的未成年患者发现存在MLL1基因的异位,急性白血病的治疗手段目前仍然比较匮乏,因此急需开发出有效的治疗药物。

包含MLL1基因的染色体异位产生新的嵌合蛋白,而该嵌合蛋白含有正常MLL1基因编码蛋白的N末端序列,因而能够和很多可能的伴侣蛋白发生相互作用,到目前为止,科学家已经发现超过60种伴侣蛋白能和MLL1基因编码的蛋白形成融合体,而这种融合和白血病的形成与发展有密切关系。

多发性内分泌腺瘤1型基因编码蛋白(Menin)是一种肿瘤抑制蛋白,它由MEN1基因(Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1)编码,Menin蛋白在多种不同类型细胞核中表达,而且在人体的各个发育阶段均处于活跃状态,能够和多种蛋白相互作用,被认为参与多个细胞进程。目前研究比较透彻的是,它是MLL融合蛋白的原癌基因辅助因子,MLL能够直接与LEDGF结合,而Menin是稳定这种结合所必须的,Menin与MLL氮端部分的两个区域相互作用,使得与LEDGF稳定结合,而LEDGF是一种转录共激活剂,在癌症、自免疫、HIV前病毒组合过程中发挥作用。目前已有确切的研究结论证实Menin与MLL形成的融合蛋白在原癌基因的转化中发挥重要作用,此外,MLL融合蛋白在维持Hox基因的表达过程中也需要Menin的参与,上述的研究结论表明Menin/MLL相互作用是治疗多种癌症极具吸引力的靶点。除此之外,Menin与MLL融合蛋白之间的相互作用可导致急性白血病,该蛋白复合物通过调控同源异型基因(HOX)的表达,导致造血干细胞的分化能力出现障碍,继而造成MLL易位型白血病,即混合谱系白血病。

已有许多研究指出,有几类小分子化合物可以占据Menin蛋白上的MLL结合口袋,干扰Menin—MLL之间的相互作用,这一发现为此类癌症和急性白血病的治疗提供了一种新的思路。

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents Recently, Electronic Arts (EA) announced a patent pledge that gives other companies and developers free access to five of its current accessibility-related patents and technology. The company promised not to enforce against any party for infringing any of the listed patents. Instead, EA hopes to encourage “innovation” and build new features that make video games more inclusive on a much larger scale by opening up the patents.  Electronic Arts (EA) is an American video game company founded in 1982. The company owns many popular and famous games, such as The Sims, SimCity, Apex Legends, Madden NFL and FIFA. Each of the games has more than 30 or 50 million sales volume. Significantly, esports involves FIFA and Apex Legends into the event list. Apex Legends has up to 1 billion players, and it is so popular that it has a Switch version. Within the freely available patents, one of which grabs everyone’s attention -- Apex Legends’ ping system (patent No. US 11097189). The ping system in Apex Legends, which excellently allows players to make communication and teamwork quick and easy without hearing or speaking, has been praised both as an impressive alternative to voice chat and as a great accessibility feature for players with a variety of disabilities.  The other patents include the technology widely used in the FIFA and Madden NFL. The innovations can automatically detect and modify colors (patent No. US 10118097 and CN 107694092) and contrast ratios (patent No. US 10878540) to improve gamers’ visibility with colorblindness and low vision. Furthermore, one of the patents relates to personalized sound technology, helping players with hearing issues by modifying or creating music based on their preferences (patent No. US 10790919).   The code of the mentioned technology is published on EA’s GitHub, and it is open to all developers. Thus, the developers can use it or adapt it for their games without spending the costs to research. It is good that EA shares the patents for free use and aims to create an accessibility-increased gaming environment for players. However, it is not “unconditional” to use the listed patents. In the pledge, EA mentioned that it may terminate the promise for a specific party which files a patent infringement lawsuit or other patent proceedings against EA. We can see parts of EV’s ambition behind the announcement—to build a large game developer league and a community of shared interests.     Reference: https://www.ea.com/commitments/positive-play/accessibility-patent-pledge https://iknow.stpi.narl.org.tw/Post/Read.aspx?PostID=14562 https://www.polygon.com/22639469/apex-legends-electronic-arts-patent-pledge-accessibility-developers https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/24/22638535/ea-accessibility-patent-pledge-apex-legends-ping-system https://www.gamesradar.com/ea-secures-a-patent-for-the-apex-legends-ping-system-and-its-giving-it-away-for-free/ https://dotesports.com/apex-legends/news/apex-legends-ping-system-is-now-patent-free-for-accessibility https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/08/apex_legends_ping_system_now_patent-free_as_ea_announces_accessibility_pledge Recently, Electronic Arts (EA) announced a patent pledge that gives other companies and developers free access to five of its current accessibility-related patents and technology.

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent In recent years, as the public’s awareness of intellectual property has increased, people have begun to consciously use the patent law to protect their intellectual property rights. However, in the process of implementation, they often only focus on invention patent and utility model patent, and tend to ignore the protection of design patent. Recently, Midea sued Haotaitai for two models of CXW-300-D998 and CXW-300-D908 Haotaitai brand range hoods In the case of suspected infringement of its design patent (patent number: ZL201930621598.X), the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court made a first-instance judgment after hearing that it determined that the two products of Haotaitai constituted infringement, and ordered it to immediately stop the infringement and compensate Midea, The company's economic losses and reasonable expenses totaled 360,000 yuan. In fact, appearance infringement cases have occurred from time to time before, such as: "Molly" blind box design patent case, "Siemens" switch design patent infringement dispute case received a compensation of 6 million yuan, three Casio watch design patents were infringed Received a compensation of 8.8 million yuan and so on. The reason why people ignore the protection of design patents, in the final analysis, is that they have insufficient knowledge of design patents. Today, let's take a look at what is protected by design patents and what rights protections can we apply for? Design patent definition: Article 2 of the "Patent Law", design patent, refers to a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial applications based on the shape, pattern, or combination of products, and the combination of color, shape, and pattern. Protected range: The shape of the product; the pattern of the product; the shape and pattern of the product; the shape and color of the product; the pattern and color of the product; the shape, pattern and color of the product. Protection period: The term of protection for design patent rights is 15 years, calculated from the date of filing. What are the conditions for applying for a design patent? The design should be aesthetically pleasing Appearance patents should be suitable for industrial applications The design patent application should be novel The design patent application should be inventiveness What are the advantages and functions of design patents? Protect the rights and interests of enterprises in product designs and fight against infringements in market competition. To enhance brand value, the quality and quantity of patents are the embodiment of the company's innovation ability and core competitiveness. Receive consumer recognition. If a company's new product appearance is filed for a patent in a timely manner, its appearance design will enjoy the exclusive right. Nowadays, consumers often choose products with trendy and beautiful appearance when buying their products. Applying for a design patent is a necessary condition for applying for a high-tech enterprise.

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million   This August, Nintendo and a game developer Colopl announced that they have settled for patent infringement regarding White Cat Project (Shironeko Project in Japanese), a smartphone game developed by Colopl. Although both companies did not publicly share exact details of the settlement, at least it is sure that Colopl agreed to pay 3.3 billion yen (about US$30.2 million) as the settlement fee for the proceedings, including the future license of Nintendo's patents.    How did the battle begin?  Being developed and published by a Japanese game developer, Colopl, White Cat Project is a free-to-play action role-playing game for Android and iOS systems. The mobile game was launched in July 2014 as well as got a television anime adaptation in 2020. It is incredibly popular to have more than 50 million downloads. Furthermore, the game is set to receive a Switch version titled "Shironeko New Project".    In September 2016, Nintendo noted the Colopl's game and considered that the game had infringed on several of Nintendo's technology patents. The two companies communicated with each other for over a year; however, Nintendo did not accept the explanations from Colopl, and Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Colopl at the beginning of 2018.    Nintendo claimed that Colopl infringed 6 of its patents. These patents protect touch-screen joystick functionality (patent no. JP3734820), multiplayer connectivity (patent no. JP5595991, JP6271692), confirmation screens in sleep mode (patent no. JP4010533), character attacks based on touch input locations (patent no. JP4262217), and a shadow effect placed on characters hidden behind the game geometry (patent no. JP3637031).   These patents almost cover various ways of game technology, especially the patent  JP5595991 and JP6271692. Their patent family is wide-reaching, and many divisional applications of the family are pending in Japan. They protect a communication game system and its related devices. It is not easy to detect the patent's existence and boundary since this kind of hardcore technique is so common in the gaming field and our daily lives.     The five-year patent war has been settled.  After a five-year dispute, the situation appeared to turn in Nintendo's favor as the Switch maker increased its monetary demands, which convinced Colopl to strike a deal that lets it use the disputed patents. Furthermore, a Switch version of White Cat Project remains in the works at Colopl.    With the extraordinary losses of Colopl, the legal battle between the two companies came to an end.
