ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for an isolated Sml1 protein or a homologue thereof. The present invention also provides for a screening assay for identifying compounds that are capable of reducing the division rate of a cell by altering an interaction between a ribonucleotide reductase and a Sml1 protein in the cell, which comprises: (a) contacting the cell with a compound, (b) comparing the division rate of the cell in step (a) with the division rate of the cell in the absence of the compound so as to determine whether the compound alters the interaction between the ribonucleotide reductase and the Sml1 protein of the cell, thereby reducing the cell division rate of the cell.
