Ask for advice on a protein study - (Jan/09/2005 )

Hi, everyone
I want to study a protein functions. It is found that this protein locates in
both nucleus and cytoplasm but mainly aggregate in nucleus. So what kind of
functions I can guess this protein has and what kind of experiments I can
try?

Thank you

I think it's may be a transcriptional factor ,then you can do CHIP or EMSA etc..However,it may bind to chromatine and affect its conformation. ;) Only my opinion,how do you think about it.May it can help you.Gook luck!

hi
rovy is right. We can add properties regarding cell cycle/division. so you can check if the relatve quantity is modified during the cell cycle (FACS after synchronisation of cells).
Here again it's only my opinion.

Good luck
