Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and systems comprising a DNA polymerase domain, a thioredoxin binding domain (TBD), and thioredoxin (TRX), wherein one or both of the TRX and TBD are fused or otherwise conjugated to the DNA polymerase domain. A TRX or TBD may also be provided in a system herein as a separate entity (e.g., a binary system). The DNA polymerase/TBD/TRX compositions and systems herein are engineered to reduce stutter and/or to produce fewer stutter artifacts. Kits comprising the DNA polymerase/TBD/TRX compositions and systems herein and methods of use thereof are also within the scope herein.

Abstract: A polynucleotide encoding a modified luciferase polypeptide. The modified luciferase polypeptide has at least 60% amino acid sequence identity to a wild-type Oplophorus luciferase and includes at least one amino acid substitution at a position corresponding to an amino acid in a wild-type Oplophorus luciferase of SEQ ID NO: 1. The modified luciferase polypeptide has at least one of enhanced luminescence, enhanced signal stability, and enhanced protein stability relative to the wild-type Oplophorus luciferase.

Abstract: A polynucleotide encoding a biosensor polypeptide comprising a modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase and a linker linking the C-terminal portion of the thermostable luciferase to the N-terminal portion of the thermostable luciferase. The modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase is modified relative to a parental circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase. The linker contains a sensor region capable of interacting with a target molecule in a cell. The modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase has an enhanced response after interaction of the biosensor with the target molecule relative to the parental circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase in the presence of the target molecule. Alternatively, the modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase has an enhanced response after interaction of the biosensor with the target molecule relative to the modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase in the absence of the target molecule.
