Many proteins, when produced recombinantly, suffer from improper processing, folding and lack normal solubility. Modified proteins, including those indicative of disease states, also can have such defects. The present invention is directed to methods of identifying proper and improper protein folding, aberrant processing and/or insolubility. The method relies on the use of two components: a specialized fusion protein and structural complementation. The fusion protein contains sequences from the protein of interest and one portion of a marker protein that, by itself, is not active. A host cell then provides the remainder of the marker protein that serves to "complement" the function of the fused marker protein such that their association restores activity, permitting detection.

Plusieurs protéines, lorsqu'elles sont produites par recombinaison, souffrent d'un traitement et d'un repliage non appropriés et manquent de solubilité normale. Les protéines modifiées, y compris celles indiquant des états pathologiques peuvent également avoir ces défauts. La présente invention concerne des procédés pour identifier le repliage approprié ou non approprié, un traitement erroné et/ou l'insolubilité. Le procédé est fondé sur l'utilisation de deux composants: une protéine de fusion spécialisée et une complémentation structurelle. La protéine de fusion contient des séquences provenant de la protéine d'intérêt et une partie de la protéine de marquage qui elle-même n'est pas active. Une cellule hôte fournit le reste de la protéine de marquage qui sert à "complémenter" la fonction de la protéine de marquage fusionnée de manière à ce que leur association rétablisse l'activité en permettant la détection.
