Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and systems comprising yeast-based biosensors (YBBs) and methods of use thereof. In particular, YBBs are provided for the detection and/or quantification of an analyte (e.g., peptide analyte) in a sample (e.g., a biological sample, environmental sample, etc.). In some embodiments, provided herein are diagnostic compositions, devices, and methods comprising yeast-based biosensors (YBBs) engineered to detect analytes (e.g., peptides (e.g., biomarker peptides, etc.), etc.). In some embodiments, YBBs comprise (a) recognition element (e.g., receptor (e.g., modified yeast receptor, etc.), etc.) on the exterior of the biosensor (e.g., for binding and or recognition of the analyte (e.g., peptide)), and (b) a reporter that signals binding or recognition of the analyte. In some embodiments, a recognition element is a cell surface receptor.
