Article Abstract
Designed sensors comprising split-firefly luciferase conjugated to tandem poly(ADP-ribose) binding domains allow for the direct solution phase detection of picogram quantities of PAR and for monitoring temporal changes in poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation events in mammalian cells.

A modified enzyme fragment complementation assay has been designed and validated as a turn-on biosensor for nucleic acid detection in dilute aqueous solution. The assay is target sequence-agonistic and uses fragments of NanoBiT, the split luciferase reporter enzyme, that are esterified enzymatically at their C-termini to steramers, sterol-linked oligonucleotides. The Drosophila hedgehog autoprocessing domain, DHhC, serves as the self-cleaving enzyme for the NanoBiT-steramer bioconjugations.

Fast and reliable virus diagnostics is key to prevent the spread of viruses in populations. A hallmark of viruses is the presence of multivalent surface proteins, a property that can be harnessed to control conformational switching in sensor proteins. Here, we introduce a new sensor platform (dark-LUX) for the detection of viral surface proteins consisting of a general bioluminescent framework that can be post-translationally functionalized with separately expressed binding domains.

An extensive arsenal of biosensing tools has been developed based on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) platform, including those that detect specific DNA sequences both and in live cells. To date, DNA imaging approaches have traditionally used full fluorescent reporter-based fusion probes. Such "always-on" probes differentiate poorly between bound and unbound probe and are unable to sensitively detect unique copies of a target sequence in individual cells.

Detection of dysregulated circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in human biofluids is a fundamental ability to determine tumor occurrence and metastasis in a minimally invasive fashion. However, the requirements for sophisticated instruments and professional personnel impede the translation of miRNA tests into routine clinical diagnostics, especially for resource-limited regions. Herein, we developed a DNA-guided bioluminescence strategy for the detection of circulating miRNAs.

Endosomal escape is a critical step in the intracellular delivery of biomacromolecular drugs, but a quantitative, high-throughput study of endosomal-vesicle disruption remains elusive. We designed two genetically encoded split-luciferase turn-on reporter assays that can be measured rapidly in well plates on live cells using a luminometer. Both systems use nonluminescent N-terminal and C-terminal luciferase fragments that can reconstitute a functional luminescent enzyme when they are colocalized by their fusion partners.
