A protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA) for detecting and localizing intracellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs) was built by bisection of miniSOG, a fluorescent flavoprotein derived from the light, oxygen, voltage (LOV)-2 domain of Arabidopsis phototropin. When brought together by interacting proteins, the fragments reconstitute a functional reporter that permits tagged protein complexes to be visualized by fluorescence light microscopy (LM), and then by standard as well as "multicolor" electron microscopy (EM) via the photooxidation of 3-3'-diaminobenzidine and its derivatives.
一种用于检测和定位细胞内蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(PPIs)的蛋白片段互补测定(PCA),是通过将来源于拟南芥光受体光敏素的 LOV-2 结构域的荧光黄素蛋白 miniSOG 进行二分法构建的。当通过相互作用的蛋白质聚集在一起时,这些片段重新构成一个功能报告器,使得标记的蛋白质复合物能够通过荧光显微镜(LM)可视化,然后通过标准和“多色”电子显微镜(EM)通过 3-3'-二氨基联苯胺及其衍生物的光氧化来实现。
