Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay makes it possible to visualize protein-protein interactions in living cells. In this assay, Venus, a bright-yellow variant of green fluorescent protein, is known to produce fluorescent backgrounds due to non-specific interactions. In this study we found that the V150A mutation increased by 8.6-fold the signal-to-noise ratio in the BiFC assay of bFos-bJun interaction.
