Hybrid Minimal Core Streptavidin–Obelin as a Versatile Reporter for Bioluminescence‐based Bioassay

Abstract: Ca -regulated photoprotein obelin was genetically fused with a minimum-sized core streptavidin. Hybrid protein (SAV-OL) was produced by bacterial expression and applied as a specific bioluminescent probe in diverse solid-phase assays. The obtained results clearly demonstrate specific activity of each domain indicating its proper folding with favorable space orientation. SAV-OL has been shown to be a much more sensitive label than the chemical conjugate of a full-length streptavidin with obelin.

“…The sensitivity of the immunoassay using the heterologous bridge combination system devised in this study indicates that similar methods would be useful as highly sensitive immunoassays for other small peptides. In addition, this assay can be more simplified by using luciferase–streptavidin or obelin–streptavidin fusing proteins published recently . There is a critical need to continue establishment of valid and reliable methods to measure oxytocin in plasma and other biological fluids.…”

“…The fusion protein streptavidin to aequorin (STA-AQ) [ 85 ] and minimum-sized core streptavidin to obelin (SAV-OL) [ 86 ] were highly purified from the inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) cells and applied to a bioluminescent sandwich immunoassay. The obtained hybrids demonstrated several advantages over similar chemical conjugates: the easiest way of preparation; maximum retention of properties of the initial protein; and as a result, the higher sensitivity of the assay.…”

“…1 BL, like chemiluminescence, does not require any light source and is characterized by a high signal to noise ratio without the main issues related to fluorescence detection, such as photobleaching and autofluorescence. 2 Several BL proteins, including luciferases from different species and photoproteins such as aequorin and obelin, have been investigated and used as reporter proteins in drug screening assays, to monitor target pathway activation, or to track cell location over time in small laboratory animals. [2][3][4] Cells can be genetically engineered to express a BL reporter under the regulation of constitutive promoters or inducible transcription elements to respond to different physical and biochemical stimuli.…”
