    摘要: Methods and materials are disclosed for use in an enzyme fragment complementation assay using complementary fragments of β-galactosidase to study the trafficking of proteins in a cell. Compounds that bind to a target peptide have been found to affect protein folding and therefore trafficking. β-Galactosidase fragments, an enzyme donor (ED) and an enzyme acceptor (EA), are fused to a target peptide and to an intracellular compartment protein, wherein the compartment is involved in intracellular trafficking. Contacting the cell with a compound that binds to the target peptide results in enhanced movement of the protein through the cellular trafficking pathway comprised of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, the plasma membrane, endosomes, etc. Using this approach, compounds that bind to a target peptide and alter its ability to traffic through the normal cellular pathway can be readily detected.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods for detecting and quantitatively measuring a binding property of a compound to a target macromolecule, wherein the target macromolecule is subject to denaturation and is linked to a labeling peptide, such as a short enzyme fragment. The method uses a fluid mixture comprising (i) a chimeric molecule comprising a target macromolecule linked to the labeling peptide and (ii) a compound being measured for binding to the target macromolecule, wherein said target macromolecule is subject to denaturation. After allowing for binding of the compound (e.g. a small molecule inhibitor of the target macromolecule), one detects a signal from the labeling peptide, such as by enzyme fragment complementation. This signal indicates a differential between denatured and non-denatured target macromolecules and thereby indicates a differential between target macromolecules not bound to the compound and target macromolecules bound to the compound, respectively.

    摘要: Methods for detecting phosphorylation of receptor tyrosine kinases ("RTKs") upon activation are provided. The method employs cells comprising two fusion products: (1) an RTK fused to a small fragment of β-galactosidase and (2) a phosphotyrosine binding peptide fused to the large fragment of β-galactosidase, where the 2 fragments weakly complex to form an active enzyme, and optionally a construct for a cytosolic RTK phosphorylating kinase, when the RTK does not autophosphoryate. To detect phosphorylation a β- galactosidase substrate is added to the cells, whereby product formation indicates the occurrence of phosphorylation.
