Split Luciferase Complementation Assay


Advantages of luciferase for our project :
  • Fast and reversible signal (quasi-immediate)
  • Light excitation not needed (minimal autofluorescence) => simplification of the signal detection and processing mechanisms
  • Signal highly correlated with concentration of substrate => very modulable
  • Small concentrations of substrate are needed

Our constructs :
N terminal part of Luciferase fused to CheZ and C terminal part of Luciferase fused to CheY.

Exp_IFP

In absence of chemoattractant, CheZ and CheY are interacting and the two parts of the split reassemble to oxidize luciferin and thus luminescence is triggered. After addition of a chemoattractant (e.g. Glucose), CheZ and CheY don't interact anymore and luminescence is shut down.

We created two different constructs, one with split Firefly luciferase and one with split Renilla luciferase, to test different possibilities with different substrates (Firefly luciferase oxidizes d-luciferin and Renilla luciferase oxidizes coelenterazine)
