Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer as a Method to Study Protein-Protein Interactions: Application to G Protein Coupled Receptor Biology

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
The bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) approach involves resonance energy transfer between a light-emitting enzyme and fluorescent acceptors.

Optimization of BRET saturation assays for robust and sensitive cytosolic protein–protein interaction studies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) saturation is a method of studying protein–protein interaction (PPI) upon quantification of the dependence of the BRET signal on the acceptor/donor (A:D) expression ratio.

Type-3 BRET, an Improved Competition-Based Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer Assay [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2014
We show that in conventional, competition-based bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assays of membrane protein stoichiometry, the presence of competitors can alter tagged-protein density and artifactually reduce energy transfer efficiency.

Coupling optogenetic stimulation with NanoLuc-based luminescence (BRET) Ca++ sensing

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The coupling of optogenetics with fluorescent Ca2+ sensors is confounded by sensitivity of optogenetic probes to light used to excite the sensors. Here the authors develop a Ca2+ sensor based on bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) that ...

Bioluminescence-Based Energy Transfer Using Semiconductor Quantum Dots as Acceptors

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) is the non-radiative transfer of energy from a bioluminescent protein donor to a fluorophore acceptor. It shares all the formalism of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) but differs in one key aspect:

Equilibrium and Kinetic Measurements of Ligand Binding to HiBiT-tagged GPCRs on the Surface of Living Cells

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2020
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) remain at the forefront of drug discovery efforts. Detailed assessment of features contributing to GPCR ligand engagement in a physiologically relevant environment is imperative to the development of new therapeutics ...

An endogenous green fluorescent protein–photoprotein pair in Clytia hemisphaerica eggs shows co-targeting to mitochondria and efficient bioluminescence energy transfer [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2014
Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) and calcium-activated photoproteins of the aequorin/clytin family, now widely used as research tools, were originally isolated from the hydrozoan jellyfish Aequora victoria.

Mathematical Models for Quantitative Assessment of Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET): Application to Seven Transmembrane Receptors (7TMRs) Oligomerization

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
The idea that seven transmembrane receptors (7TMRs; also designated G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs)) might form dimers or higher order oligomeric complexes was formulated more than 20 years ago and has been intensively studied since then. In the last

Application of bioluminescence resonance energy transfer-based cell tracking approach in bone tissue engineering

open access: yesJournal of Tissue Engineering, 2021
Bioluminescent imaging (BLI) has emerged as a popular in vivo tracking modality in bone regeneration studies stemming from its clear advantages: non-invasive, real-time, and inexpensive. We recently adopted bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)
