Protein Interaction Assays that Reflect Natural Cellular Biology

NanoLuc® Binary Technology (NanoBiT) is a structural complementation reporter system composed of a Large BiT (LgBiT; 18kDa) subunit and a small complimentary peptide. For the study of protein:protein interactions, the complimentary peptide is Small BiT (SmBiT; 11 amino acid peptide), which has been optimized to have low affinity for LgBiT. The LgBiT and SmBiT subunits are expressed as fusions to target proteins of interest and expressed in cells. When the two proteins interact, the subunits come together to form an active enzyme and generate a bright luminescent signal in the presence of substrate.

The small size of the NanoBiT® complementation partners minimizes interference with normal protein function, and the bright signal accommodates low, native expression levels. The low self-affinity of the NanoBiT® subunits combined with live-cell detection offers kinetic, real-time analysis of protein interaction dynamics.

 

 

Study Drug Potency and Binding Kinetics with NanoBiT

Study Drug Potency and Binding Kinetics

The proportional signal-to-activity and plate-based format make NanoBiT ideal for PPI studies, including high-throughput screening. 

"NanoBiT can reveal drug potency for induced protein interactions and the binding kinetics underlying drug action"  

You can read the technical details behind NanoBiT technology and review example data from protein interaction assays in the paper: NanoLuc Complementation Reporter Optimized for Accurate Measurement of Protein Interactions in Cells,  Dixon et al., (2016) ACS Chem. Biol.11, 400–408.

Monitor Induction and Inhibition of Protein Interactions with a Dynamic, Reversible Assay

In contrast to many split systems, the LgBiT:SmBiT interaction is reversible, allowing the detection of rapidly dissociating proteins. PPI dynamics can be followed in real time in living cells using the Nano-Glo® Live Cell Reagent, a non-lytic detection reagent containing the cell-permeable furimazine substrate. Advantages over split systems include better sensitivity, reversibility, the ability to create fusions to peptides or small, structurally stable protein domains, and the capability for real-time measurement of protein interactions.

The poster Monitoring Intracellular Protein Interactions using NanoBiT Binary Technology  provides more details, including data illustrating these capabilities.

Monitor Real-Time PPI Dynamics in Cells with NanoBiT

Monitor Protein Dynamics in Real Time 

In this experiment, HeLa cells were transfected with FKBP-SmBiT and FRB-LgBiT fusion constructs. Following overnight incubation, substrate was added and samples imaged on an LV200 microscope. After baseline read for approximately 30 seconds, 500nM rapamycin was added to induce FKBP:FRB interaction and images were recorded (imaging cycle = 0.5 seconds).

Example NanoBiT Applications

NanoBiT® System Vectors

The NanoBiT® PPI Starter Systems provide the vectors required to create LgBiT and SmBiT protein fusions, along with control vectors and the Nano-Glo® Live Cell Assay System, a single-addition, non-lytic detection reagent used for monitoring NanoBiT® luminescence in living cells. See below for details of the vectors provided with each system.
NanoBiT® PPI MCS Starter System Vectors, Cat.# N2014

Using the NanoBiT® MCS Starter System, you can generate N- and C-terminal LgBiT and SmBiT fusions to proteins of interest using traditional cloning with a multiple cloning site (MCS). Expression is driven by HSV-TK promoter, providing constitutive, low-level expression in mammalian cells.
