Patent ID: 6911317

Claim:
A method for identifying a compound which binds to a 2150 polypeptide comprising the steps of: a) contacting a 2150 polypeptide with a test compound, and b) determining whether the 2150 polypeptide binds to the test compound, wherein the 2150 polypeptide comprises a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: i) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:3, ii) a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, iii) a polypeptide comprising the protein kinase domain of 2150 (amino acid residues 32-286 of SEQ ID NO:2) wherein the protein kinase domain of 2150 has kinase activity, iv) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2 and a non-kinase polypeptide, v) a polypeptide comprising the protein kinase domain of 2150 (amino acid residues 32-286 of SEQ ID NO:2), wherein the protein kinase domain of 2150 has kinase activity, and a non-kinase polypeptide, and vi) a fusion polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence which encodes SEQ ID NO:2 operably linked to a non-kinase polypeptide.
