The invention provides compositions and kits containing an atrogin-1 inhibitor compound useful for the treatment of a statin-mediated myopathy. Kits for the diagnosis of a statin-mediated myopathy are also provided. The invention further features methods for treating or preventing a statin-mediated myopathy in a subject via administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an atrogin-1 inhibitor compound. The invention further provides methods of diagnosing a subject as having a propensity to develop a statin-induced myopathy and methods of monitoring a statin-induced myopathy or a propensity to develop a statin-mediated myopathy in a subject. The invention also features methods for identifying a compound for the treatment of a statin-mediated myopathy and methods of identifying a statin compound as having the propensity to induce a statin-mediated myopathy.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the isolation of cell- or tissue-specific F-box proteins which are involved in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation in a specific cell- or tissue-type. Accordingly, the invention provides nucleic acids and the proteins encoded by said nucleic acids which play a role in the ubiquitinylation and subsequent degradation of substrate proteins and in regulating cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell survival. The invention also provides methods for modulating protein degradation, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and/or cell survival by modulating protein ubiquitination; assays for identifying compounds which modulate protein degradation, cell proliferation, differentiation and/or cell survival; methods for treating disorders associated with aberrant protein degradation, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and/or cell survival; and diagnostic and prognostic assays for determining whether a subject is at risk of developing a disorder associated with an aberrant protein degradation, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and/or survival.
