Genetically-encoded sensors of protein hydrodynamics
A major challenge in cell biology is to understand the molecular basis of complex processes, including motility and cytokinesis. Meeting this challenge will require new genetically-encoded fluorescent sensors that allow for quantitative, sensitive, dynamic and highresolution imaging of signaling proteins and their effector protein complexes in living cells. Currently, the most popular sensors a...
متن کاملSecondary-Ion Mass Spectrometry of Genetically Encoded Targets**
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is generally used in imaging the isotopic composition of various materials. It is becoming increasingly popular in biology, especially for investigations of cellular metabolism. However, individual proteins are difficult to identify in SIMS, which limits the ability of this technology to study individual compartments or protein complexes. We present a meth...
متن کاملFluorogenic protein labeling using a genetically encoded unstrained alkene.
We developed a new fluorogenic bioorthogonal reaction that is based on the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction between styrene (an unstrained alkene) and a simple tetrazine. The reaction forms a new fluorophore with no literature precedent. We have identified an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pair for the efficient and site-specific incorporation of a styrene-containing amino acid into...
متن کاملA genetically encoded aldehyde for rapid protein labelling.
Using a mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNA(Pyl)(CUA) pair, 3-formyl-phenylalanine is genetically incorporated into proteins at amber mutation sites in Escherichia coli. This non-canonical amino acid readily reacts with hydroxylamine dyes, leading to rapid and site-selective protein labelling.
متن کاملSite-specific labelling with a metal chelator for protein-structure refinement.
A single free Cys sidechain in the N-terminal domain of the E. coli arginine repressor was covalently derivatized with S-cysteaminyl-EDTA for site-specific attachment of paramagnetic metal ions. The effects of chelated metal ions were monitored with (15)N-HSQC spectra. Complexation of Co(2+), which has a fast relaxing electron spin, resulted in significant pseudocontact shifts, but also in peak...
