ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for methods of screening for agents which delay the cell cycle and methods of delaying the cell cycle. Analogues of Era having arginine, histidine, or lysine at amino acid codon 17 are embodied by the present invention. Human and other homologs of bacterial Era amino acid and nucleic acid sequences are provided in the present invention. Vectors, host cells, protein preparations, cell cultures, and compositions comprising said analogue are also set forth in the present invention.
