Detection of Protein–Protein Interactions in Escherichia coli With Single Molecule Sensitivity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This article describes a regulatory circuit in Escherichia coli able to detect protein–protein interactions with exquisite sensitivity. The interaction between two hybrid proteins fused to Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase and its activator calmodulin triggers a potent cyclic AMP signaling cascade.
