[0065] In some embodiments, provided herein are analogs or derivatives of CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2. In some embodiments, CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2, or analogs or derivatives thereof are directly (via a single covalent bond) bound to a functional element or solid surface. In some embodiments, CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2, or analogs or derivatives thereof are indirectly (via a linker) bound to a functional element or solid surface.

[0066] In some embodiments, provided herein are compounds herein (including, e.g., CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2, analogs or derivatives thereof, etc.), comprising the formula: JPEG0007634479000054.jpg57 are reactive groups suitable for chemical attachment to a functional element (e.g., detectable element, linker, etc.) or solid surface. These reactive groups may be present on the GPCR binding agent or may be connected by a suitable linker. In some embodiments, the reactive groups are configured to react specifically (e.g., via bioorthogonal chemistry or click chemistry) with a reactive partner present on or introduced to the functional element or solid surface. An exemplary click reaction is copper-catalyzed click, where the compound bears an alkyne or azide and the functional element bears a complementary group (e.g., azide or alkyne). Mixing these two species together in the presence of a suitable copper catalyst covalently attaches the compound to the functional element via the triazole. Many other bioorthogonal reactions have been reported (e.g., Patterson, DM, et al. (2014) "Finding the Right (Bioorthogonal) Chemistry." ACS Chemical Biology 9(3):592-605.; incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), and compounds (including, e.g., CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2, analogs or derivatives thereof, etc.) and functional elements incorporating complementary reactive species are embodiments of the invention.

[0067] In some embodiments, the linker provides sufficient distance between moieties in the compounds or compositions herein (e.g., between a broad-spectrum GPCR-binding agent and a detectable entity, solid surface, etc.) to allow each to function unhindered (or as unhindered as possible) by binding to the other. For example, the linker provides sufficient distance to allow the GPCR-binding agent to bind the GPCR and for the detectable moiety to be detectable (e.g., with no or minimal interference between the two). In some embodiments, the linker separates the GPCR-binding agent herein (e.g., including CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2, analogs or derivatives thereof, etc.) and the functional entity (e.g., detectable entity, solid surface, etc.) by a length of 5 angstroms to 1000 angstroms, inclusive.

Such exemplary linkers are used with any suitable GPCR-binding agent and functional element described herein.

Thus, in some embodiments, suitable functional elements (e.g., detectable elements, capture elements) are those that are cytocompatible and / or cell-permeable in the context of such compositions. In some embodiments, the compositions including additional elements, when added extracellularly, can cross the cell membrane and enter the cell (e.g., via diffusion, endocytosis, active transport, passive transport, etc.). In some embodiments, suitable functional elements and linkers are selected based on their specific function as well as cytocompatibility and / or cell-permeability.

[0074] In certain embodiments, the functional element has a detectable property that allows for detection of a compound herein (including, e.g., CLZP1, CLZP2, CLZP3, QTP, RSPD, LXP, OLZP, AMTRP1, AMTRP2, NTRP1, NTRP2, analogs or derivatives thereof, etc.) or an analyte bound thereto (e.g., GPCR).

Bioluminescent or fluorescent functional groups, such as BODIPY, rhodamine green, GFP, or infrared dyes, can be used as functional elements, for example, in interaction studies (e.g., using BRET, FRET, LRET, or electrophoresis).

[0077] Another class of functional elements includes molecules detectable using electromagnetic radiation, including, but not limited to, xanthene fluorophores, dansyl fluorophores, coumarin and coumarin derivatives, fluorescent acridinium moieties, benzopyrene-based fluorophores, as well as 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole and 3-N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-2,3-diamino-propionic acid. Preferably, the fluorescent molecules have high quantum yields of fluorescence at wavelengths different from the natural amino acids, and more preferably, have high quantum yields of fluorescence that can be excited in the visible portion of the spectrum, or both the UV and visible portions. Upon excitation at a preselected wavelength, the molecules are detectable at low concentrations, either visually or using conventional fluorescence detection methods. Electrochemiluminescent molecules, such as ruthenium chelates and their derivatives, or nitroxide amino acids and their derivatives, are detectable in the femtomolar range or below.

[0078] In some embodiments, the functional element is a fluorophore.

These properties include absorption in the UV, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, the presence of chromophores that are Raman active and can be further enhanced by resonance Raman spectroscopy, electron spin resonance activity, and nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular weight, for example, via mass spectrometry.

[0080] In some embodiments, the functional element is a capture element. In some embodiments, the capture element is a substrate for a protein (e.g., an enzyme) and the capture agent is that protein. In some embodiments, the capture element is a "covalent substrate" or one that forms a covalent bond with the protein or enzyme with which it reacts. The substrate may contain a reactive group (e.g., a modified substrate) that forms a covalent bond with the enzyme upon interaction with the enzyme, or the enzyme may be a mutant version that is unable to coordinate a covalently bound intermediate with the substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate is recognized by a mutant protein (e.g., a mutant dehalogenase) that forms a covalent bond thereto. In such embodiments, interaction of the substrate with a wild-type version of the protein (e.g., a dehalogenase) results in the product and regeneration of the wild-type protein, while interaction of the substrate (e.g., a haloalkane) with a mutant version of the protein (e.g., a dehalogenase) results in stable bond formation (e.g., covalent bond formation) between the protein and the substrate. The substrate may be any substrate suitable for any mutant protein that has been engineered to form an ultrastable bond or covalent bond with a substrate that is normally only transiently bound by the protein. In some embodiments, the protein is a mutant hydrolase or dehalogenase. In some embodiments, the protein is a mutant dehalogenase and the substrate is a haloalkane. In some embodiments, the haloalkane is an alkane (e.g., C2-C 20 In some embodiments, the haloalkane is of the formula AX, where X is a halogen (e.g., Cl, Br, F, I, etc.) and A is an alkane containing 2-20 carbons. In certain embodiments, A contains a linear segment of 2-12 carbons. In certain embodiments, A is a linear segment of 2-12 carbons. In some embodiments, the haloalkane may contain any additional pendant or substitutions that do not interfere with the interaction with the mutant dehalogenase.

Chem Biol. 2008 Feb;15(2):128-36.; incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).

Examples of such pairs include an antibody as the affinity agent and an antigen as the affinity element; a His tag as the affinity element and a nickel column as the affinity agent; a protein and a small molecule (e.g., streptavidin and biotin) with high affinity as the affinity agent and affinity element, respectively. Examples of affinity molecules include molecules such as, for example, immunogenic molecules (e.g., protein, peptide, carbohydrate, or lipid epitopes) (e.g., any molecule useful for preparing an antibody specific to that molecule); biotin, avidin, streptavidin, and derivatives thereof; metal binding molecules; and fragments and combinations of these molecules. Exemplary affinity molecules include His5 (HHHHH) (SEQ ID NO: 15), HisX6 (HHHHHH) (SEQ ID NO: 16), C-myc (EQKLISEEDL) (SEQ ID NO: 17), Flag (DYKDDDDK) (SEQ ID NO: 18), SteptTag (WSHPQFEK) (SEQ ID NO: 19), HA tag (YPYDVPDYA) (SEQ ID NO: 20), thioredoxin, cellulose binding domain, chitin binding domain, S-peptide, T7 peptide, calmodulin binding peptide, C-terminal RNA tag, metal binding domain, metal binding reactive group, amino acid reactive group, intein, biotin, streptavidin, and maltose binding protein.

[0099] PCT Application No. PCT / US13 / 74765 and U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 263,416, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and for all purposes, describe bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) systems and methods (e.g., incorporating NanoLuc-based technology). Such systems and methods, as well as bioluminescent polypeptides and their fluorophore-binding moieties, are used in embodiments herein and can be used in conjunction with the assays, methods, devices, and systems described herein.

[0100] In some embodiments, any of the NanoLuc-based, NanoBiT-based, and / or NanoTrip-based peptides, polypeptides, complexes, fusions, etc. may be used in BRET-based applications in conjunction with the assays, methods, devices, and systems described herein.

[0101] As used herein, the term "energy acceptor" refers to any small molecule (e.g., a chromophore), macromolecule (e.g., an autofluorescent protein, a phycobiliprotein, a nanoparticle, a surface, etc.), or molecular complex that generates a readily detectable signal in response to energy absorption (e.g., resonance energy transfer). In certain embodiments, the energy acceptor is a fluorophore or other detectable chromophore (e.g., any fluorophore or other detectable chromophore described herein or understood in the art).Suitable fluorophores include xanthene derivatives (e.g., fluorescein, rhodamine, Oregon Green, eosin, Texas Red, etc.), cyanine derivatives (e.g., cyanine, indocarbocyanine, oxacarbocyanine, thiacarbocyanine, merocyanine, etc.), naphthalene derivatives (e.g., dansyl and prodan derivatives), oxadiazole derivatives (e.g., pyridyloxazole, nitrobenzoxadiazole, benzoxadiazole, etc.), pyrene derivatives (e.g., cascade blue), oxazine derivatives (e.g., Nile red, Nile blue, cresyl violet, oxazine 170, etc.), acridine derivatives (e.g., proflavine, acridine orange, acridine yellow, etc.), arylmethine derivatives (e.g., auramine, crystal violet, malachite green, etc.), tetrapyrrole derivatives (e.g., porphine, phthalocyanine, bilirubin, etc.), CF dyes (Biotium), BODIPY (Invitrogen), ALEXA Examples of dyes that may be used include, but are not limited to, FLuoR (Invitrogen), DYLIGHT FLUOR (Thermo Scientific, Pierce), ATTO and TRACY (Sigma Aldrich), FluoProbes (Interchim), DY and MEGASTOKES (Dyomics), SULFO CY dyes (CYANDYE, LLC), SETAU AND SQUARE DYES (SETA BioMedicals), QUASAR and CAL FLUOR dyes (Biosearch Technologies), SURELIGHT DYES (APC, RPE, PerCP, Phycobilisomes) (Columbia Biosciences), APC, APCXL, RPE, BPE (Phyco-Biotech), autofluorescent proteins (e.g., YFP, RFP, mCherry, mKate, etc.), quantum dot nanocrystals, and the like. In some embodiments, the fluorophore is a rhodamine analog (e.g., a carboxyrhodamine analog), such as, for example, those described in U.S. Patent Application No. 13 / 682,589, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0102] In some embodiments, a system is provided that includes: (a) a fusion of a GPCR with a bioluminescent protein (or a component of a bioluminescent complex); and (b) a broad-spectrum GPCR binding moiety herein linked to a fluorophore, where upon binding of the broad-spectrum GPCR binding moiety to the GPCR, the emission spectrum of the bioluminescent protein overlaps with the excitation spectrum of the fluorophore such that BRET is detectable between the bioluminescent protein and the fluorophore. Similar BRET systems (e.g., utilizing NANOLUC luciferase) are described, for example, in International Patent Application No. PCT / US13 / 74765, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, embodiments of which may be used in the systems and methods herein.

[0103] U.S. Patent No. 10,107,800; U.S. Patent No. 9,869,670; and U.S. Patent No. 9,797,890 (incorporated herein by reference in their entirety) describe a two-component system for assembling a bioluminescent complex from a peptide component and a polypeptide component. U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 684,014 (incorporated herein by reference in their entirety) describes a three-part system for assembling a bioluminescent complex from three peptide and polypeptide components. In some embodiments, such systems (and related methods) are used in the embodiments herein. For example, the peptide component of the bioluminescent complex is provided as a fusion with one or more GPCRs. When such a fusion is contacted with a broad-spectrum GPCR fluorescent tracer and a polypeptide component of the bioluminescent complex described herein, a BRET signal is detectable. However, a non-target GPCR that is not fused to a peptide component of the bioluminescent complex will not generate a BRET signal, despite being bound to a broad-spectrum GPCR fluorescent tracer. In some embodiments, the peptide tag (e.g., fused to a GPCR) and other components of the bioluminescent complex system (e.g., polypeptide components, substrates, etc.) are described in the above-referenced patents / patent applications and / or commercially available as NanoBiT and / or NanoTrip technologies (Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.). In some embodiments, the peptide tag fused to a GPCR for BRET applications exhibits high affinity for the polypeptide components (e.g., and / or additional peptide components) of the bioluminescent complex, such that upon introduction of the appropriate components, the bioluminescent complex forms without promotion.

[0104] In some embodiments, the BRET application of the technology described herein relies on a GPCR protein structure that is minimally destabilized by genetic fusion to a peptide component of a bioluminescent complex. In some embodiments, the peptide exhibits high affinity for the polypeptide component of the bioluminescent complex and / or other peptide components (e.g., HiBiT). In some embodiments, fusions are made N-terminally, C-terminally, and internally within the GPCR. In some embodiments, the small size of the peptide tag allows for minimal genetic engineering of the protein. Experiments performed during the development of the embodiments herein have demonstrated that the peptide tag (e.g., a component of a bioluminescent complex (e.g., HiBiT)) is easily inserted into a GPCR of interest via CRISPR-Cas, allowing interrogation of GPCR-ligand interactions without the need to overexpress the GPCR and / or use membrane preparations. In some embodiments, the polypeptide component of the bioluminescent complex (e.g., LgBiT) is not cell permeable, so the signal is only detected on the cell surface. This feature of the detection method allows for monitoring both cell surface expression levels and internalization of the GPCR.

[0105] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary BRET embodiment of the compositions and methods herein. A fluorescent signal is generated via energy transfer between a HiBiT-tagged GPCR protein (via the formation of a bioluminescent HiBiT-LgBiT complex) and a fluorescent ligand, which allows real-time monitoring of GPCR-fluorescent ligand interactions. Substitution of the fluorescent ligand with an unlabeled ligand results in loss of BRET signal, allowing determination of both kinetic and binding data for unlabeled compounds. The advantage of this approach is the detection of only the interaction between the fluorescent ligand and the HiBiT-GPCR fusion. Other interactions of the fluorescent ligand are not detected, significantly reducing the background and improving the sensitivity of BRET signal detection (FIG. 2).

[0106] In some embodiments, provided in certain embodiments herein are systems comprising mutant proteins (e.g., mutant hydrolases (e.g., mutant dehalogenases)) that covalently bind their substrates (e.g., haloalkane substrates), e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,238,842; 7,425,436; 7,429,472; and 7,867,726, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Such proteins may be provided as fusions with GPCRs. In other embodiments, such proteins are used to capture GPCRs bound to agents described herein (e.g., where the functional group is a substrate for the mutant protein). EXAMPLES
