Abstract excerpt
We describe the development of a genetic, non-transcriptional assay for the detection of ligand binding to nuclear receptors based on the ligand-dependent reconstitution of the defective Ras/cAMP viability pathway of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CDC25-2. We have characterized the assay using the estrogen receptor (ER) alpha as an example and found it to be extremely sensitive, stringent, rapid and...
