The luminescent HiBiT peptide enables selective quantitation of G protein–coupled receptor ligand engagement and internalization in living cells

Abstract: G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are prominent targets to new therapeutics for a range of diseases. Comprehensive assessments of their cellular interactions with bioactive compounds, particularly in a kinetic format, are imperative to the development of drugs with improved efficacy. Hence, we developed complementary cellular assays that enable equilibrium and real-time analyses of GPCR ligand engagement and consequent activation, measured as receptor internalization. These assays utilize GPCRs genetically f… Show more

“…[81] Applied to the monitoring of internalization of the adenosine A1 receptor (A 1 AR) and β 2 adrenergic receptor (β 2 AR) in live cells, a decrease of the luminescent signal is observed when internalized receptors are excluded from interactions with the cell-impermeable LgBiT. [81,117] Recently, surface-specific labeling by the HiBiT-LgBiT system was used to study the potential of the relaxin family receptor-1 (RXFP 1 ) to undergo ligand-induced homodimerization. [118] The assay was based on the distancedependent bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) between a luciferase-and mCitrine-tagged RXFP 1 .…”

“…First of all, the high quantum yield of NanoLuc and the possibility to combine BRET assay with NanoLuc-derived split luciferase reporter system (NanoBiT, described above) ensures the development of BRET assay with increased sensitivity. It allows the monitoring of protein–protein interactions at lower and more physiologically-relevant levels [ 182 ] and analysis of interactions with low selectivity or affinity which have previously been challenging [ 183 , 184 ]. The NanoLuc bioluminescence spectrum (λ max = ~460 nm) is about 20% narrower compared with that of RLuc, enabling improved spectral separation of donor and acceptor emissions and the use of various fluorophores as acceptors.…”

“…Taking advantage of the brightness of NLuc ( Hall et al., 2012 ), we and others have used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering to tag and then study genes and proteins expressed under endogenous promotion using either full-length or split NLuc. This has allowed changes in gene expression or protein levels to be measured and quantified ( Lackner et al., 2015 ; Oh-Hashi et al., 2016 ; Schwinn et al., 2018 ), as well as ligand binding and internalization ( Boursier et al., 2020 ; White et al., 2020 ), protein-protein interactions ( White et al, 2017 , 2020 ), post-translational modifications ( Schwinn et al., 2018 ), and protein degradation ( Riching et al., 2018 ) to be monitored in real-time live cell or lysed cell assays by NanoBRET or changes in luminescence for NLuc complementation. Although these studies using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and luciferase tags have principally investigated membrane bound and intracellular proteins, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA), a secreted growth factor, was previously tagged with the small NLuc fragment (HiBiT) ( Schwinn et al., 2018 ) and expression measured in a lytic cell assay at a single time point, indicating the potential for use of this approach to monitor secreted chemokines.…”
