摘要 |
The invention provides methods and compositions for identifying modulators, particularly peptide modulators, of cell surface receptor activity. Specifically, the invention provides a cell containing a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide modified for intracellular presentation, which cell may further comprise one or both of a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a binding partner for that polypeptide and recombinant nucleic acid encoding a test polypeptide. The subject cell may be a member of a library of cells, and the library may be used in screening methods for identifying test polypeptides (e.g., conformationally restrained polypeptides) having cell surface receptor modulatory activity. The invention finds use in a variety of drug-discovery applications.
