    Abstract Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analysis enables direct visualization of protein interactions in living cells. It is based on the facilitated association of two nonfluorescent fragments of a fluorescent protein fused to putative interaction partners. The intrinsic fluorescence of the active complex enables detection of protein interactions with high sensitivity, fine spatial resolution, and minimal perturbation of the cells. As discussed in more detail here, BiFC analysis requires careful consideration of the design and expression of the fusion proteins for the results to be interpretable.

    Abstract Many proteins can interact with several alternative partners. The multicolor bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay enables simultaneous visualization of multiple protein interactions in the same cell. This assay, introduced here, is based on the fusion of fragments of fluorescent proteins that form spectrally distinct BiFC complexes to different interaction partners. These complexes can thereby be spectrally resolved and the relative amounts of complexes formed with different interaction partners can be determined. The multicolor BiFC assay enables comparison of the subcellular distributions of complexes formed with different interaction partners and allows analysis of the competition between mutually exclusive interaction partners for binding a shared partner present at limiting concentration.

    Abstract Ubiquitin-family peptide conjugation regulates the functions and stabilities of many proteins. Numerous cellular proteins are modified by covalent conjugation of ubiquitin-family peptides to specific lysine residues. These modifications provide a flexible means for regulating the properties of the substrate proteins. Because ubiquitin can be conjugated to substrate proteins at many different sites and in many topological configurations, these modifications have the potential to confer a wide range of functional states to the modified proteins. Ubiquitin conjugation is typically detected by immunoprecipitation of a putative substrate protein followed by immunoblotting to detect ubiquitin conjugated to the substrate. However, this assay cannot be used to detect ubiquitin conjugates in live cells. It is also difficult to determine the subcellular distribution of a specific ubiquitin conjugate using this approach. To visualize ubiquitin conjugates in live cells, we have developed the ubiquitin-mediated fluorescence complementation assay, which is based on the association of fragments of fluorescent proteins when ubiquitin fused to one fragment is conjugated to a substrate protein fused to a complementary fragment. This protocol focuses on the visualization of ubiquitin conjugated in cultured mammalian cells, but it can be adapted to any cell type or aerobically grown organism that can be genetically modified to express the fusion proteins.

    Abstract We have developed a procedure that enables visualization of the genomic loci that are bound by complexes formed by a specific combination of chromatin-binding proteins. This procedure is based on imaging bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) complexes on Drosophila polytene chromosomes. BiFC complexes are formed by the facilitated association of two fluorescent protein fragments that are fused to proteins that interact with, or are in close proximity to, each other. The intensity of BiFC complex fluorescence at individual genomic loci is greatly enhanced by the parallel alignment of hundreds of chromatids within the polytene chromosomes. The loci that are bound by the complexes are mapped by comparing the locations of BiFC complex fluorescence with the stereotypical banding patterns of the chromosomes. We describe strategies for the design, expression, and validation of fusion proteins for the analysis of BiFC complex binding on polytene chromosomes. We detail protocols for the preparation of polytene chromosome spreads that have been optimized for the purpose of BiFC complex visualization. Finally, we provide guidance for the interpretation of results from studies of BiFC complex binding on polytene chromosomes and for comparison of the genomic loci that are bound by BiFC complexes with those that are bound by subunits of the corresponding endogenous complexes. The visualization of BiFC complex binding on polytene chromosomes provides a unique method to visualize multiprotein complex binding at specific loci, throughout the genome, in individual cells.

    Abstract Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins are transcription regulatory proteins that control the expression of a variety of genes from early embryogenesis through birth to adulthood. PcG proteins form several complexes that are thought to collaborate to repress gene transcription. Individual PcG proteins have unique characteristics, and mutations in genes encoding different PcG proteins cause distinct phenotypes. Histone modifications have important roles in some PcG protein functions, but they are not universally required. The mechanisms of gene-specific recruitment, transcription repression, and selective derepression of genes by vertebrate PcG proteins are incompletely understood. Future studies of this enigmatic group of developmental regulators are certain to produce unanticipated discoveries.

    Abstract Investigations of the molecular processes that sustain life must include studies of these processes in their normal cellular environment. The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay provides an approach for the visualization of protein interactions and modifications in living cells. This assay is based on the facilitated association of complementary fragments of a fluorescent protein that are fused to interaction partners. Complex formation by the interaction partners tethers the fluorescent protein fragments in proximity to each other, which can facilitate their association. The BiFC assay enables sensitive visualization of protein complexes with high spatial resolution. The temporal resolution of BiFC analysis is limited by the time required for fluorophore formation, as well as the stabilization of complexes by association of the fluorescent protein fragments. Many modifications and enhancements to the BiFC assay have been developed. The multicolor BiFC assay enables simultaneous visualization of multiple protein complexes in the same cell, and can be used to investigate competition among mutually exclusive interaction partners for complex formation in cells. The ubiquitin-mediated fluorescence complementation (UbFC) assay enables visualization of covalent ubiquitin family peptide conjugation to substrate proteins in cells. The BiFC assay can also be used to visualize protein binding to specific chromatin domains, as well as other molecular scaffolds in cells. BiFC analysis therefore provides a powerful approach for the visualization of a variety of processes that affect molecular proximity in living cells. The visualization of macromolecular interactions and modifications is of great importance owing to the central roles of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecular complexes in the regulation of cellular functions. This tutorial review describes the BiFC assay, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this experimental approach. The review will be of interest to scientists interested in the investigation of macromolecular interactions or modifications who need exquisite sensitivity for the detection of their complexes or conjugates of interest.
