Measuring distances between TRPV1 and the plasma membrane using a noncanonical amino acid and transition metal ion FRET
Despite recent advances, the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins in cell membranes remain elusive. We implemented transition metal ion fluorescence resonance energy transfer (tmFRET) to measure distances between sites on the N-terminal ankyrin repeat domains (ARDs) of the pain-transducing ion channel TRPV1 and the intracellular surface of the plasma membrane. To preserve the native cont...
متن کاملTransition metal ion FRET to measure short-range distances at the intracellular surface of the plasma membrane
Biological membranes are complex assemblies of lipids and proteins that serve as platforms for cell signaling. We have developed a novel method for measuring the structure and dynamics of the membrane based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The method marries four technologies: (1) unroofing cells to isolate and access the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane; (2) patch-cl...
متن کاملFluorescence resonance energy transfer reveals a binding site of a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy.
Phthalocyanine (Pc) 4, like many photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT), localizes to intracellular membranes, especially mitochondria. Pc 4-PDT photodamages Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, antiapoptotic proteins interacting with the permeability transition pore complex that forms at contact sites between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. These complexes and the inner membrane are unique ...

Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are common, debilitating and expensive. In many cases, healing is imperfect, which leads to chronic impairment. Gene transfer might improve repair and regeneration at sites of injury by enabling the local, sustained and potentially regulated expression of therapeutic gene products such products include morphogens, growth factors and anti-inflammatory agent...
متن کاملGeneration of Functional Fluorescent BK Channels by Random Insertion of GFP Variants
The yellow and cyan variants of green fluorescent protein (GFP) constitute an excellent pair for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and can be used to study conformational rearrangements of proteins. Our aim was to develop a library of fluorescent large conductance voltage- and Ca2+-gated channels (BK or slo channels) for future use in FRET studies. We report the results of a random ...
