Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for the assembly of a bioluminescent complex from two or more non-luminescent (e.g., substantially non-luminescent) peptide and/or polypeptide units. In particular, bioluminescent activity is conferred upon a non-luminescent polypeptide via structural complementation with another, complementary non-luminescent peptide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An isolated composition comprising: (a) a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1270; (b) a first peptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 2587; and (c) a second peptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 374. 2. The isolated composition of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the polypeptide, first peptide, and second peptide are conjugated to a molecular entity. 3. The isolate composition of claim 2 , wherein the molecular entity is selected from the group consisting of a small molecule, antibody, antibody fragment, peptide, carbohydrate, or protein.
