Abstract

The present invention is directed to methods for screening for fragments, derivatives and analogs of Hsp90 that are altered in their subcellular localization, and thus, altered in their activity as compared to wild type Hsp90. The present invention is also directed to screening for modulators of Hsp90 activity as determined by assaying for altered subcellular localization of Hsp90. The present invention is further directed to diagnostic, prognostic and screening uses of Hsp90/centrosome co-purification.
