Biosensors to measure protein stability in vivo are valuable tools for a variety of applications. Previous work has demonstrated that a tripartite design, whereby a protein of interest (POI) is inserted within a reporter, can link POI stability to reporter activity. Inteins are translated within other proteins and excised in a self-mediated protein splicing reaction. Here, we developed a novel folding biosensor where a POI is inserted within an intein, which is subsequently translated within an antibiotic resistance marker. We showed that protein splicing is required for antibiotic resistance and that housing a stable POI within the intein, compared to an unstable variant, results in a 100,000-fold difference in survival. Further, using a fluorescent protein that matures slowly as the POI, we developed a reporter with two simultaneous readouts for protein folding. Finally, we showed that co-expression of GroEL can significantly increase the activity of both reporters, further verifying that protein folding factors can act on the POI in the biosensor. As a whole, our work provides a new twist on the traditional tripartite approach to measuring protein stability in vivo.
