There is a significant focus on detecting and assaying protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in biology and biotechnology. Protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA) is one of the most widely used methods to detect PPI by splitting the enzyme-coding or fluorescent protein-coding polypeptide, as well as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Here, we describe a novel PPI assay FlimPIA (firefly luminescent intermediate-based protein-protein interaction assay) by a unique approach of splitting the two major catalytic steps (half reactions) of firefly luciferase (FLuc).
在生物学和生物技术领域,人们非常关注蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用(PPI)的检测和分析。蛋白质片段互补分析(PCA)是通过拆分酶编码或荧光蛋白编码多肽来检测PPI的最广泛使用的方法之一,此外还有福斯特共振能量转移(FRET)。在此,我们描述了一种新型的PPI分析方法FlimPIA(基于萤火虫发光中间体的蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用分析),该方法采用了一种独特的方法,即拆分萤火虫荧光素酶(FLuc)的两个主要催化步骤(半反应)。
