Reaction-based fluorescent sensor for investigating mobile Zn2+ in mitochondria of healthy versus cancerous prostate cells.
Chelatable, mobile forms of divalent zinc, Zn(II), play essential signaling roles in mammalian biology. A complex network of zinc import and transport proteins has evolved to control zinc concentration and distribution on a subcellular level. Understanding the action of mobile zinc requires tools that can detect changes in Zn(II) concentrations at discrete cellular locales. We present here a zi...
متن کاملColor coding cancer cells with fluorescent proteins to visualize in vivo cellular interaction in metastatic colonies.
We report here in vivo visualization of cancer cell interaction using stable sublines of green fluorescent protein (GFP)- and red fluorescent protein (RFP)-expressing HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. These color-coded fibrosarcoma cell lines show similar cell proliferation and lung metastasis potential. The color-coded cells were mixed at a ratio of 1:1 and were injected into the tail vein of ...
متن کاملFluorescent labeling of SNAP-tagged proteins in cells.
One of the most prominent self-labeling tags is SNAP-tag. It is an in vitro evolution product of the human DNA repair protein O (6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) that reacts specifically with benzylguanine (BG) and benzylchloropyrimidine (CP) derivatives, leading to covalent labeling of SNAP-tag with a synthetic probe (Gronemeyer et al., Protein Eng Des Sel 19:309-316, 2006; Curr Opi...
متن کاملDetection of Zn2+ release in nitric oxide treated cells and proteome: dependence on fluorescent sensor and proteomic sulfhydryl groups.
Nitric oxide (NO) is both an important regulatory molecule in biological systems and a toxic xenobiotic. Its oxidation products react with sulfhydryl groups and either nitrosylate or oxidize them. The aerobic reaction of NO supplied by diethylamine NONOate (DEA-NO) with pig kidney LLC-PK1 cells and Zn-proteins within the isolated proteome was examined with three fluorescent zinc sensors, zinqui...
متن کاملGenetically encoded fluorescent reporters to visualize protein kinase C activation in live cells.
Protein kinase C (PKC) signaling drives many important cellular processes and its dysregulation results in pathophysiologies such as cancer (Gokmen-Polar et al., Cancer Res 61:1375-1381, 2001). Because PKC is activated acutely and allosterically, it is difficult to monitor the cellular activity of endogenous PKC by conventional methodologies (Newton, Methods Enzymol 345:499-506, 2002). Rather, ...
