Identifying molecules that modulate protein-protein interactions using protease activated reporters

摘要

Methods and assays for identifying a compound that modulates a protein-protein interaction between a first and a second protein. The methods and assays require a protease that is attached to the second protein and a split and rearranged reporter activating protein that is attached to the first protein, wherein the reporter activating protein comprises a cleavage site for the protease that is interposed between two portions of the reporter activating protein and wherein the two portions of the reporter activating protein are in a rearranged order.
