Structural tuning of the fluorescent protein iLOV for improved photostability.
Fluorescent proteins derived from light, oxygen, or voltage (LOV) domains offer advantages over green fluorescent protein (GFP) from their small size and efficacy under anaerobic conditions. The flavoprotein improved LOV (iLOV) was engineered from the blue light receptor phototropin as a reporter of viral infection. To inform the molecular basis for the improved, photoreversible, fluorescent pr...
متن کاملDensity Amplification in Laser-Assisted Protein Adsorption by Photobleaching
Spatial distributions of proteins are crucial for development, growth and normal life of organisms. Position of cells in a morphogen gradient determines their differentiation in a specific manner. Neutrophils are the initial responders to bacterial infection or other inflammatory stimuli and have the ability to migrate rapidly up shallow gradients of attractants in vivo. Moreover, for the corre...
متن کاملPatterning protein concentration using laser-assisted adsorption by photobleaching, LAPAP.
The study of cellular responses to changes in the spatial distribution of molecules in development, immunology and cancer, requires reliable methods to reproduce in vitro the precise distributions of proteins found in vivo. Here we present a straightforward method for generating substrate-bound protein patterns which has the simplicity required to be implemented in typical life science laborato...
متن کاملPhotobleaching of Fluorescent Dyes in Polymer Films
Recently, optical data storage has been achieved via photobleaching of a fluorescent dye in co-extruded, multilayer, polymer films. Photobleaching, the decrease in fluorescence by exposure to light, can be caused by a number of different processes, including light-induced chemical reactions and thermal degradation. Although data has successfully been written using this method, the mechanisms co...
متن کاملBeyond photobleaching, laser illumination unbinds fluorescent proteins.
Confocal and two-photon fluorescence microscopy techniques using genetically encoded fluorescent probes are widely used in cell biology. Beyond the common problems of photobleaching and phototoxicity, we present evidence that photounbinding also has the potential to compromise such methods, especially in quantitative studies. We show that laser intensities within excitation regimes typical for ...
