Abstract

See full text

The transcription factor E2F contains a ubiquitination domain. Assays for inhibitors and enhancers of the domain are provided. An assay method for an inhibitor of transcription factor E2F ubiquitin-mediated degradation comprises a) bringing a polypeptide which contains a domain which renders E2F a substrate for ubiquitination into contact with a candidate inhibitor; and b) determining whether or not the candidate inibitor is capable of reducing ubiquitination of the polypeptide. An assay method for an enhancer of transcription factor E2F ubiquitin-mediated degradation may comprise a) bringing a polypeptide which contains a domain which renders E2F a substrate for ubiquitination into contact with a candidate enhancer; and b) determining whether or not the candidate enhancer is capable of enhancing ubiquitination of said polypeptide.
