The protein–protein interaction assay is a key technology in various fields, being applicable in drug screening as well as in diagnosis and inspection, wherein the stability of assays is important. In a previous study, we developed a unique protein–protein interaction assay “FlimPIA” based on the functional complementation of mutant firefly luciferases (Fluc). The catalytic step of Fluc was divided into two half steps: D-luciferin was adenylated in the first step, while adenylated luciferin was oxidized in the second step. We constructed two mutants of Fluc from Photinus pyralis (Ppy); one mutant named Donor is defective in the second half reaction, while the other mutant named Acceptor exhibited low activity in the first half reaction. To date, Ppy has been used in the system; however, its thermostability is low.
