Abstract: Described herein is a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) based system and method to monitor ternary complex formation in real-time in live cells with high sensitivity and accuracy. This system transfers energy simultaneously between a luciferase donor and intermediate and terminal acceptors, appropriately chosen to also enable transfer from the intermediate to terminal acceptor while minimizing contaminating signals. The system may also be adapted for quaternary complex detection by including a protein complementation assay (PCA) component. The system is broadly applicable to the detection of any protein ternary/quaternary complex such as those involving nuclear receptors, GPCRs, Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTKs), multimeric enzymes or structural proteins.
