ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for assessing the ability of a compound to modulate the formation of a complex between a potassium channel and a protein tyrosine kinase. The method comprises the steps of (1) contacting a first polypeptide comprising the proline-rich binding region of the potassium channel, a second protein comprising the SH3 binding domain of the protein tyrosine kinase and the compound to be assessed; and (2) measuring the extent of complex formation between the first polypeptide and the second polypeptide.
