Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC): a 5-year update and future perspectives.
Over the past decade, bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) has emerged as a key technique to visualize protein-protein interactions in a variety of model organisms. The BiFC assay is based on reconstitution of an intact fluorescent protein when two complementary non-fluorescent fragments are brought together by a pair of interacting proteins. While the originally reported BiFC method...
متن کاملBimolecular fluorescence complementation.
Defining the subcellular distribution of signaling complexes is imperative to understanding the output from that complex. Conventional methods such as immunoprecipitation do not provide information on the spatial localization of complexes. In contrast, BiFC monitors the interaction and subcellular compartmentalization of protein complexes. In this method, a fluororescent protein is split into a...
متن کاملBimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analysis as a probe of protein interactions in living cells.
Protein interactions are a fundamental mechanism for the generation of biological regulatory specificity. The study of protein interactions in living cells is of particular significance because the interactions that occur in a particular cell depend on the full complement of proteins present in the cell and the external stimuli that influence the cell. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (...
متن کاملDetection of protein interactions in plant using a gateway compatible bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) system.
We have developed a BiFC technique to test the interaction between two proteins in vivo. This is accomplished by splitting a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) into two non-overlapping fragments. Each fragment is cloned in-frame to a gene of interest. These constructs can then be co-transformed into Nicotiana benthamiana via Agrobacterium mediated transformation, allowing the transit expression o...
متن کاملDevelopment and implementation of split-GFP-based bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays in yeast.
BiFC (bimolecular fluorescence complementation) is a tool for investigating interactions between proteins. Non-fluorescent fragments of, for example, GFP (green fluorescent protein) are fused to the interacting partners. The interaction brings the fragments together, which then fold, reassemble and fluoresce. This process can be carried out in living cells and provides information both on the i...
