Abstract
The present invention provides a protein recruitment system, in which a protein-protein interaction is detected by the recruitment of an effector protein to a specific cell compartment, where the effector protein can activate a reporter molecule, provided that the effector protein is not a transcription factor. The invention also provides a drug screening assay using the protein recruitment system. In addition, the invention provides a kit for performing the protein recruitment system.
