Expression and characterization of a fusion protein between the catalytic domain of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and the DNA binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor.

abstract：:Disrupted-In-Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a risk factor for schizophrenia and other major mental illnesses. Its protein binding partners include the Nuclear Distribution Factor E Homologs (NDE1 and NDEL1), LIS1, and phosphodiesterases 4B and 4D (PDE4B and PDE4D). We demonstrate that NDE1, NDEL1 and LIS1, together with t...
