Optimizing fluorescent protein trios for 3-Way FRET imaging of protein interactions in living cells
Powerful new methods have extended FRET microscopy to the imaging of three or more interacting proteins inside living cells. Here, we compared widely available fluorescent proteins to find the best trio for 3-Way FRET imaging. We focused on readily available cyan, yellow, and red proteins that have high quantum yields, large extinction coefficients and good photostability, which defined these c...
متن کاملA Guide to Fluorescent Protein FRET Pairs
Förster or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology and genetically encoded FRET biosensors provide a powerful tool for visualizing signaling molecules in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolution. Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are most commonly used as both donor and acceptor fluorophores in FRET biosensors, especially since FPs are genetically encodable and live-cell compati...
متن کاملSimultaneous Quantitative Live Cell Imaging of Multiple FRET-Based Biosensors
We have developed a novel method for multi-color spectral FRET analysis which is used to study a system of three independent FRET-based molecular sensors composed of the combinations of only three fluorescent proteins. This method is made possible by a novel routine for computing the 3-D excitation/emission spectral fingerprint of FRET from reference measurements of the donor and acceptor alone...
متن کاملQuantitative tomographic imaging of intermolecular FRET in small animals
Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a nonradiative transfer of energy between two fluorescent molecules (a donor and an acceptor) in nanometer range proximity. FRET imaging methods have been applied to proteomic studies and drug discovery applications based on intermolecular FRET efficiency measurements and stoichiometric measurements of FRET interaction as quantitative parameters of in...
متن کاملQuantitative in vivo imaging of molecular distances using FLIM-FRET
Genetically encoded labelling by fluorescent proteins has opened the possibility to observe protein distribution and localisation by fluorescence microscopy. A direct visualisation of these nanometre sized molecules is, however, not possible due to the Abbe limit of diffraction (about 200 nm in confocal microscopes). As an alternative, indirect methods such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer ...
