Method to monitor and quantify interphase nuclear envelope rupture events
Abstract:
The present invention provides an in vitro method for monitoring interphase nuclear envelope rupture events in a eukaryotic cell or screening or identifying compound capable of increasing or decreasing the intensity and/or frequency of interphase nuclear envelope rupture events in a eukaryotic cell. These methods relate on a protein having a cytosolic non-nuclear localization in interphase and a non-sequence specific DNA binding activity. Interphase nuclear envelope rupture events are characterized by the presence of the protein of the invention in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell.
