abstract = {Protein-fragment complementation assays are used
ubiquitously for probing protein–protein interactions.
Most commonly, the reporter protein is split in two parts,
which are then fused to the proteins of interest and can
reassemble and provide a readout if the proteins of interest
interact with each other. The currently known split
fluorescent proteins either can be used only in aerobic
conditions and assemble irreversibly, or require addition of
exogenous chromophores, which complicates the design of
experiments. In recent years, light-oxygen-voltage (LOV)
domains of several photoreceptor proteins have been
developed into flavin-based fluorescent proteins (FbFPs)
that, under some circumstances, can outperform commonly used
fluorescent proteins such as GFP. Here, we show that
CagFbFP, a small thermostable FbFP based on a LOV
domain-containing protein from Chloroflexus aggregans, can
serve as a split fluorescent reporter. We use the available
genetic and structural information to identify three loops
between the conserved secondary structure elements, Aβ-Bβ,
Eα-Fα, and Hβ-Iβ, that tolerate insertion of flexible
poly-Gly/Ser segments and eventually splitting. We
demonstrate that the designed split pairs, when fused to
interacting proteins, are fluorescent in vivo in E. coli and
human cells and have low background fluorescence. Our
results enable probing protein–protein interactions in
anaerobic conditions without using exogenous fluorophores
and provide a basis for further development of LOV and PAS
(Per-Arnt-Sim) domain-based fluorescent reporters and
optogenetic tools.},
