GFP-complementation assay to detect functional CPP and protein delivery into living cells
Efficient cargo uptake is essential for cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) therapeutics, which deliver widely diverse cargoes by exploiting natural cell processes to penetrate the cell's membranes. Yet most current CPP activity assays are hampered by limitations in assessing uptake, including confounding effects of conjugated fluorophores or ligands, indirect read-outs requiring secondary processin...
متن کاملGenome-wide Protein-protein Interaction Screening by Protein-fragment Complementation Assay (PCA) in Living Cells
Proteins are the building blocks, effectors and signal mediators of cellular processes. A protein's function, regulation and localization often depend on its interactions with other proteins. Here, we describe a protocol for the yeast protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA), a powerful method to detect direct and proximal associations between proteins in living cells. The interaction betwe...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of α-Synuclein Solubility in Living Cells Using Split GFP Complementation
Presently incurable, Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder and affects 1% of the population over 60 years of age. The hallmarks of PD pathogenesis are the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, and the occurrence of proteinaceous cytoplasmic inclusions (Lewy bodies) in surviving neurons. Lewy bodies are mainly composed of th...
متن کاملMeasuring protein mobility by photobleaching GFP chimeras in living cells.
This unit describes fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) using commercially available confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM). Photobleaching is the photo-induced change in a fluorphore that abolishes that molecule's fluorescence. The different characteristics of green fluorescent protein (GFP) chimeras in a cell can be studied by FR...
متن کاملRapid assay to detect possible natural substrates of proteases in living cells.
Proteolysis is a regulatory step in many physiological processes, but which proteases in what cellular sites are involved in activation or degradation of which peptides is not well known. We developed a rapid assay consisting of living cells and fluorogenic protease substrates to determine which bioactive peptides are possible natural substrates of a specific protease with the multifunctional o...
