  • Methods of isolating genes encoding proteins of specific function and of screening for pharmaceutically active agents
    Publication number: 20060240404
    Abstract: A method of isolating polynucleotides encoding polypeptides affecting an organization of a subcellular organelle or structure of interest is provided. The method comprises: (a) expressing within a plurality of cells an expression library including a plurality of expression constructs each encoding a polypeptide of interest; (b) highlighting the subcellular organelle or structure of interest of the plurality of cells; and (c) isolating a cell or cells of the plurality of cells in which a cellular distribution and/or level of the subcellular organelle or structure of interest is altered to thereby isolate polypeptides capable of affecting the organization of the subcellular organelle or structure of interest.
