We present two high-throughput compatible methods to detect the interaction of ectopically expressed (RT-Bind) or endogenously tagged (EndoBind) proteins of interest. Both approaches provide temporal evaluation of dimer formation over an extended duration. Using examples of the Nrf2-KEAP1 and the CRAF-KRAS-G12V interaction, we demonstrate that our method allows for the detection of signal for more than 2 days after substrate addition, allowing for continuous monitoring of endogenous protein-protein interactions in real time.
Bill et al describe two high-throughput methods to detect protein-protein interactions in cells in real-time using the split-NanoLuciferase-complementation system. They demonstrate the methods can detect exogenously (RT-bind) or endogenously (EndoBind) expressed proteins, respectively.
