    摘要: The invention relates to a method for selecting compounds having a modulating effect on the activation state of a dimer of VFT-domain proteins expressed in cell membranes present in a measuring medium, said dimer consisting of a first protein and of a second protein, said proteins being identical or different, wherein this method comprises the following steps: (a) labeling the first and second proteins in the N-terminal portion of their VFT domains with the members of a pair of FRET partners, the Förster radius (R0) of said pair being between 20 and 55 Å; (b) measuring the FRET signal in the absence and in the presence of the test compound within a predetermined time window; (c) selecting the test compound as a modulating compound if a difference in FRET signal in the absence and in the presence of test compound is measured in step (b). The invention can be used in the search for new medicaments and new taste modulators.

    摘要: The instant invention provides for methods for detecting the internalization of a transmembrane protein of interest expressed at the surface of a cell. More specifically, the methods involve (a) labelling the protein of interest with a fluorescent metal complex, the lifetime of which is greater than 0.1 ms, (b) adding to the reaction medium a composition capable of causing the internalization of the protein of interest, (c) adding to the reaction medium (1) a modulating agent which is a fluorescent FRET acceptor compound compatible with the fluorescent metal complex, the final concentration of which in the reaction medium is greater than 10−7M; or (2) a reducing agent, the redox potential of which is less than +0.1 V and preferably between 0.25 and 0.75 V; or (3) an agent which binds specifically, by non-covalent bonding, with the fluorescent metal complex; (d) adding a metal ion which competes with the rare earth so as to form a non-fluorescent metal complex; (d) measuring the luminescence emitted by the reaction medium at the emission wavelength of the fluorescent metal complex and/or at the emission wavelength of the modulating compound when the compound is a fluorescent acceptor compound; and (e) comparing the signal measured in step d) with a reference signal measured on cells having been subjected only to steps a) and c).
