A High-Resolution Luminescent Assay for Rapid and Continuous Monitoring of Protein Translocation across Biological Membranes

Protein translocation is a fundamental process in biology. Major gaps in our understanding of this process arise due the poor sensitivity, low time resolution and irreproducibility of translocation assays. To address this, we applied NanoLuc split-luciferase to produce a new strategy for measuring p...

description Protein translocation is a fundamental process in biology. Major gaps in our understanding of this process arise due the poor sensitivity, low time resolution and irreproducibility of translocation assays. To address this, we applied NanoLuc split-luciferase to produce a new strategy for measuring protein transport. The system reduces the timescale of data collection from days to minutes and allows for continuous acquisition with a time resolution in the order of seconds, yielding kinetics parameters suitable for mechanistic elucidation and mathematical fitting. To demonstrate its versatility, we implemented and validated the assay in vitro and in vivo for the bacterial Sec system and the mitochondrial protein import apparatus. Overall, this technology represents a major step forward, providing a powerful new tool for fundamental mechanistic enquiry of protein translocation and for inhibitor (drug) screening, with an intensity and rigor unattainable through classical methods. [Display omitted] •Conventional methods for monitoring protein translocation are laborious and discontinuous and lack kinetic detail.•A split NanoLuc system was adapted for real-time monitoring of protein translocation through the bacterial Sec system and the mitochondrial Tim23 complex.•The new assay reduces the timescale of data acquisition from days to minutes.•It produces high-quality results suitable for kinetic fitting and model derivation.
