Fura-2FF-based calcium indicator for protein labeling.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the synthesis and fluorescence properties of a Fura-2FF-based fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator that can be covalently linked to SNAP-tag fusion proteins and retains its Ca(2+) sensing ability after coupling to protein.

Cytosolic-free calcium increases to greater than 100 micromolar in ATP-depleted proximal tubules.
Previous studies have shown that cytosolic-free Ca2+ (Caf) increases to at least low micromolar concentrations during ATP depletion of isolated kidney proximal tubules. However, peak levels could not be determined precisely with the Ca2+-sensitive fluorophore, fura-2, because of its high affinity for Ca2+. Now, we have used two low affinity Ca2+ fluorophores, mag-fura-2 (furaptra) and fura-2FF,...
متن کاملSelective fura-2 loading of presynaptic terminals and nerve cell processes by local perfusion in mammalian brain slice.
We describe a method for filling presynaptic terminals and cell dendrites in adult brain slices with the fluorescent calcium indicator fura-2 by localized perfusion of the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester derivative. The method provides labeling selectivity, similar to that produced by intracellular microinjection of fura-2, with the simplicity of bath application of membrane-permeant AM esters. Applic...
متن کاملCalcium Imaging of Cortical Neurons using Fura-2 AM
Calcium imaging is a common technique that is useful for measuring calcium signals in cultured cells. Calcium imaging techniques take advantage of calcium indicator dyes, which are BAPTA-based organic molecules that change their spectral properties in response to the binding of Ca2+ ions. Calcium indicator dyes fall into two categories, ratio-metric dyes like Fura-2 and Indo-1 and single-wavele...
متن کاملUtilizing Hidex Sense for mitochondrial and cytosolic calcium measurements using the luminescent calcium reporter protein aequorin and the fluorescent calcium indicator Fura-2 AM
reporter. Aequorin is a Ca 2+ -sensitive luminescent protein originally derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. When expressed in mammalian cells, wild-type aequorin localizes to the cytoplasm and can be employed for cytoplasmic Ca 2+ measurements. Recombinant aequorin fusion proteins with specific targeting peptide sequences have been produced in order to direct the reporter protein to a...
متن کاملCaffeine interaction with fluorescent calcium indicator dyes.
We report that caffeine, in millimolar concentrations, interacts strongly with four common calcium indicator dyes: mag-fura-2, magnesium green, fura-2, and fluo-3. Fluorescence intensities are either noticeably enhanced (mag-fura-2, fura-2) or diminished (magnesium green, fluo-3). The caffeine-induced changes in the fluorescence spectra are clearly distinct from those of metal ion binding at th...
