A pathway sensor for genome-wide screens of intracellular proteolytic cleavage

Protein cleavage is a central event in many regulated biological processes. We describe a system for detecting intracellular proteolysis based on non-conventional secretion of Gaussia luciferase (GLUC). GLUC exits the cell without benefit of a secretory leader peptide, but can be anchored in the cel...

description Protein cleavage is a central event in many regulated biological processes. We describe a system for detecting intracellular proteolysis based on non-conventional secretion of Gaussia luciferase (GLUC). GLUC exits the cell without benefit of a secretory leader peptide, but can be anchored in the cell by fusion to β-actin. By including protease cleavage sites between GLUC and β-actin, proteolytic cleavage can be detected. Using this assay, we have identified regulators of autophagy, apoptosis and β-actin cleavage.
