Provided herein are a voltage indicator and a method of measuring voltage. The voltage indicator includes a membrane-localized voltage-sensitive protein coupled to a capture protein. The method of measuring voltage includes administering a voltage indicator including a membrane-localized voltage-sensitive protein coupled to a capture protein, and determining changes in fluorescence of a small-molecule fluorescent dye captured by the capture protein.

A mutant hydrolase optionally fused to a protein of interest is provided. The mutant hydrolase is capable of forming a bond with a substrate for the corresponding nonmutant (wild-type) hydrolase which is more stable than the bond formed between the wild-type hydrolase and the substrate. Substrates for hydrolases comprising one or more functional groups are also provided, as well as methods of using the mutant hydrolase and the substrates of the invention. Also provided is a fusion protein capable of forming a stable bond with a substrate and cells which express the fusion protein.

A voltage indicator includes a polypeptide sequence comprising a voltage-sensitive opsin domain and a capture protein domain arranged and disposed to capture a fluorescent dye ligand. When the fluorescent dye ligand is captured and the voltage indicator is bound to a cell membrane, an increase in voltage across the cell membrane causes an increase in fluorescent emission.

A mutant hydrolase optionally fused to a protein of interest is provided. The mutant hydrolase is capable of forming a bond with a substrate for the corresponding nonmutant (wild-type) hydrolase which is more stable than the bond formed between the wild-type hydrolase and the substrate and has at least two amino acid substitutions relative to the wild-type hydrolase. Substrates for hydrolases comprising one or more functional groups are also provided, as well as methods of using the mutant hydrolase and the substrates of the invention. Also provided is a fusion protein capable of forming a stable bond with a substrate and cells which express the fusion protein.

Provided herein are circularly-permuted (cp) dehalogenase variants that are capable of covalently binding to a haloalkyl ligand. In particular cp dehalogenase variants and peptides and polypeptides comprising split versions thereof that structurally assemble to form an active dehalogenase complexes are provided.

Provided herein are substantially non-luminescent peptide/polypeptide tags that are inserted internally within a protein of interest or between N-terminal and C-terminal peptides/polypeptides. Interaction of the internally-inserted tag with a complement polypeptide/peptide that is also substantially non-luminescent results in the formation a bioluminescent reporter complex.

The mutant hydrolase is capable of forming a bond with a substrate for the corresponding nonmutant (wild-type) hydrolase which is more stable than the bond formed between the wild-type hydrolase and the substrate.

Also provided is a fusion protein capable of forming a stable bond with a substrate and cells which express the fusion protein.

Provided herein are peptide and polypeptide sequences that structurally assemble to form active, modified dehalogenase structures capable of binding to a haloalkyl ligand. In particular, provided herein are split dehalogenase variants that assemble through structural complementation into active dehalogenase complexes, and systems and methods of use thereof.

Nucleic acid-guided ordered protein assembly (NOPA) arrays and methods for their generation and related applications are disclosed herein.
