摘要
Protein-fragment complementation assays (PCAs) provide a general strategy to study the dynamics of protein-protein interactions in vivo and in vitro. The full potential of PCA requires assays that are fully reversible and sensitive at subendogenous protein expression levels. We describe a new assay that meets these criteria, based on the Gaussia princeps luciferase enzyme, demonstrating chemical reversal, and induction and inhibition of a key interaction linking insulin and TGF beta signaling.
