Lysosomal cholesterol export reconstituted from fragments of Niemann-Pick C1

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) is a polytopic membrane protein with 13 transmembrane helices that exports LDL-derived cholesterol from lysosomes by carrying it through the 80 Å glycocalyx and the 40 Å lipid bilayer. Transport begins when cholesterol binds to the

Characterizing the Fate of Anti‐CS1 Nanobody Displaying Extracellular Vesicles in Multiple Myeloma

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising delivery vehicles capable of transporting therapeutic agents across biological barriers. However, native EVs primarily accumulate in liver, spleen and lungs, limiting targeted delivery to disease sites.

Development of a BRET based chloride biosensor for high throughput screening of KCC2 modulators

open access: yesSLAS Discovery
The generation of action potentials in neuronal cells and many other physiological processes involve the transport of chloride ions. Whilst there have been advances in chloride imaging techniques utilizing FRET biosensors, there is a lack of ...

Nano-Luciferase complementation assay of human herpesvirus 8 chemo/cytokine-receptor interactions

open access: yesScientific Reports
Some viruses encode proteins that mimic host chemokines and/or cytokines to modulate the host immune responses against infection. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also termed Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), encodes three viral CC-type ...

A nanoluciferase-encoded bacteriophage illuminates viral infection dynamics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells

open access: yesISME Communications
Abstract Bacteriophages (phages) are increasingly considered for both treatment and early detection of bacterial pathogens given their specificity and rapid infection kinetics. Here, we exploit an engineered phage expressing nanoluciferase to detect signals associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa lysis spanning single cells to populations.

Protocol for culturing and functionally manipulating planarian neoblasts using SiR-DNA-based flow cytometry

open access: yesSTAR Protocols
Summary: Neoblasts are the only cells capable of proliferation in planarians. The traditional flow cytometry protocol using Hoechst inhibits the cell cycle. Here, we present a protocol for culturing and functionally manipulating planarian neoblasts using

Protocol for Measuring Drug–Target Engagement in Mouse Colorectal Cancer Organoids Using NanoBRET Assay

open access: yesBio-Protocol
Organoids as a drug discovery platform represent an emerging field that continues to refine its tools. NanoBRET (bioluminescence resonance energy transfer) has emerged as a proximity-based and highly sensitive assay to measure protein–protein and protein–

Using nanoBRET and CRISPR/Cas9 to monitor proximity to a genome-edited protein in real-time

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) has been a vital tool for understanding G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) function. It has been used to investigate GPCR-protein and/or -ligand interactions as well as GPCR oligomerisation.

Reporter assays for HPV16 E1/E1C and E2 mRNA splicing using nanoluciferase and secreted luciferase

open access: yesJournal of Virological Methods
We have generated two reporter plasmids that either monitor expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E2 mRNAs using splice site SA2709 or HPV16 E1C mRNAs utilizing splice site SA2582. In plasmid pE2sLuc, the entire E2 open reading frame was replaced by the secreted luciferase (sLuc) reporter gene and in the pE1nLuc plasmid the E1/E1C open ...
