PCT No. PCT/US91/06839 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 7, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 7, 1993 PCT Filed Sep. 20, 1991A method for the identification of compounds as inhibitors of oncoprotein action is described. A compound is identified as an inhibitor of oncoprotein action based on its ability to modulate the transcription of a reporter gene. Transcription of the reporter gene is dependent upon the binding of a fusion oncoprotein to a specific DNA binding element positioned upstream of the reporter gene promoter. The fusion oncoprotein contains a transcriptional regulatory domain from an oncoprotein and a DNA binding domain from a different protein.
