Abstract
The present invention relates to peptides and antibodies which bind to melanoma inhibitory activity protein and the uses of such peptides and antibodies. The invention also relates to nucleic acids coding for such peptides or antibodies. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such peptides or antibodies or such nucleic acids. The present invention also relates to small molecule compounds which bind to melanoma inhibitory activity protein and to uses of such small molecule compounds. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a method of preventing dimerization and/or aggregation of melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) protein. The invention is based on the identification of the relevant sites of interaction of the MIA protein with the inhibitory peptides/antibodies. Considering the amino acid sequence of this protein deprived from the signalling peptide, the residues involved in the interaction are selected from: A7, K53, G54, R55, R57, L58, F59, V64, Y69, R85, D87, K91, and more preferably C17, S18, Y47, G61, G66, D67, L76, W102, D103, C106.
