Abstract
The present invention provides nuclear localisation signals derived from the DP-3 and E2F-1 transcription factors and the use of these signals in assays for regulators of cell cycle progression. Such assays involve using the signals to direct a marker gene to the nucleus and determining whether the nuclear localisation of the marker is disrupted by the presence of a putative regulator.
