Mitochondrial depolarization accompanies cytochrome c release during apoptosis in PC6 cells. (1/8843)

Cytochrome c is released from mitochondria into the cytosol in cells undergoing apoptosis. The temporal relationship between cytochrome c release and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential was monitored by laser-scanning confocal microscopy in single living pheochromocytoma-6 cells undergoing apoptosis induced by staurosporine. Mitochondrial membrane potential monitored by tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester decreased abruptly in individual cells from 2 to 7 h after treatment with staurosporine. Depolarization was accompanied by cytochrome c release documented by release of transfected green fluorescent protein-tagged cytochrome c in these cells. The results show that mitochondrial depolarization accompanies cytochrome c release in pheochromocytoma-6 cells undergoing apoptosis.  (+info)

The dually acylated NH2-terminal domain of gi1alpha is sufficient to target a green fluorescent protein reporter to caveolin-enriched plasma membrane domains. Palmitoylation of caveolin-1 is required for the recognition of dually acylated g-protein alpha subunits in vivo. (2/8843)

Here we investigate the molecular mechanisms that govern the targeting of G-protein alpha subunits to the plasma membrane. For this purpose, we used Gi1alpha as a model dually acylated G-protein. We fused full-length Gi1alpha or its extreme NH2-terminal domain (residues 1-32 or 1-122) to green fluorescent protein (GFP) and analyzed the subcellular localization of these fusion proteins. We show that the first 32 amino acids of Gi1alpha are sufficient to target GFP to caveolin-enriched domains of the plasma membrane in vivo, as demonstrated by co-fractionation and co-immunoprecipitation with caveolin-1. Interestingly, when dual acylation of this 32-amino acid domain was blocked by specific point mutations (G2A or C3S), the resulting GFP fusion proteins were localized to the cytoplasm and excluded from caveolin-rich regions. The myristoylated but nonpalmitoylated (C3S) chimera only partially partitioned into caveolin-containing fractions. However, both nonacylated GFP fusions (G2A and C3S) no longer co-immunoprecipitated with caveolin-1. Taken together, these results indicate that lipid modification of the NH2-terminal of Gi1alpha is essential for targeting to its correct destination and interaction with caveolin-1. Also, a caveolin-1 mutant lacking all three palmitoylation sites (C133S, C143S, and C156S) was unable to co-immunoprecipitate these dually acylated GFP-G-protein fusions. Thus, dual acylation of the NH2-terminal domain of Gi1alpha and palmitoylation of caveolin-1 are both required to stabilize and perhaps regulate this reciprocal interaction at the plasma membrane in vivo. Our results provide the first demonstration of a functional role for caveolin-1 palmitoylation in its interaction with signaling molecules.  (+info)

Properties of filament-bound myosin light chain kinase. (3/8843)

Myosin light chain kinase binds to actin-containing filaments from cells with a greater affinity than to F-actin. However, it is not known if this binding in cells is regulated by Ca2+/calmodulin as it is with F-actin. Therefore, the binding properties of the kinase to stress fibers were examined in smooth muscle-derived A7r5 cells. Full-length myosin light chain kinase or a truncation mutant lacking residues 2-142 was expressed as chimeras containing green fluorescent protein at the C terminus. In intact cells, the full-length kinase bound to stress fibers, whereas the truncated kinase showed diffuse fluorescence in the cytoplasm. After permeabilization with saponin, the fluorescence from the truncated kinase disappeared, whereas the fluorescence of the full-length kinase was retained on stress fibers. Measurements of fluorescence intensities and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching of the full-length myosin light chain kinase in saponin-permeable cells showed that Ca2+/calmodulin did not dissociate the kinase from these filaments. However, the filament-bound kinase was sufficient for Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain and contraction of stress fibers. Thus, dissociation of myosin light chain kinase from actin-containing thin filaments is not necessary for phosphorylation of myosin light chain in thick filaments. We note that the distance between the N terminus and the catalytic core of the kinase is sufficient to span the distance between thin and thick filaments.  (+info)

A fluorescent orthotopic bone metastasis model of human prostate cancer. (4/8843)

Here, we report a fluorescent spontaneous bone metastatic model of human prostate cancer developed by surgical orthotopic implantation of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing prostate cancer tissue. Human prostate cancer PC-3 cells were transduced with the pLEIN expression retroviral vector containing the enhanced GFP and neomycin resistance genes. Stable GFP high-expression PC-3 clones were selected in vitro with G418, which were then combined and injected s.c. in nude mice. For metastasis studies, fragments of a single highly fluorescent s.c. growing tumor were implanted by surgical orthotopic implantation in the prostate of a series of nude mice. Subsequent micrometastases and metastases were visualized by GFP fluorescence throughout the skeleton, including the skull, rib, pelvis, femur, and tibia The central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, was also involved with tumor, as visualized by GFP fluorescence. Systemic organs, including the lung, plural membrane, liver, kidney, and adrenal gland, also had fluorescent metastases. The metastasis pattern in this model reflects the bone and other metastatic sites of human prostate cancer. Thus, this model should be very useful for the study and development of treatment for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer.  (+info)

Role of cytokine signaling molecules in erythroid differentiation of mouse fetal liver hematopoietic cells: functional analysis of signaling molecules by retrovirus-mediated expression. (5/8843)

Erythropoietin (EPO) and its cell surface receptor (EPOR) play a central role in proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid progenitors. Signals induced by EPO have been studied extensively by using erythroid as well as nonerythroid cell lines, and various controversial results have been reported as to the role of signaling molecules in erythroid differentiation. Here we describe a novel approach to analyze the EPO signaling by using primary mouse fetal liver hematopoietic cells to avoid possible artifacts due to established cell lines. Our strategy is based on high-titer retrovirus vectors with a bicistronic expression system consisting of an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and green fluorescent protein (GFP). By placing the cDNA for a signaling molecule in front of IRES-GFP, virus-infected cells can be viably sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorter, and the effect of expression of the signaling molecule can be assessed. By using this system, expression of cell-survival genes such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL was found to enhance erythroid colony formation from colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) in response to EPO. However, their expression was not sufficient for erythroid colony formation from CFU-E alone, indicating that EPO induces signals for erythroid differentiation. To examine the role of EPOR tyrosine residues in erythroid differentiation, we introduced a chimeric EGFR-EPOR receptor, which has the extracellular domain of the EGF receptor and the intracellular domain of the EPOR, as well as a mutant EGFR-EPOR in which all the cytoplasmic tyrosine residues are replaced with phenylalanine, and found that tyrosine residues of EPOR are essential for erythroid colony formation from CFU-E. We further analyzed the function of the downstream signaling molecules by expressing modified signaling molecules and found that both JAK2/STAT5 and Ras, two major signaling pathways activated by EPOR, are involved in full erythroid differentiation.  (+info)

Nuclear translocation of green fluorescent protein-nuclear factor kappaB with a distinct lag time in living cells. (6/8843)

A highly fluorescent mutant form of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been fused to the human nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) p50 and p105 (p50/IkappaB gamma), a precursor protein of NF-kappaB p50. GFP-p50 and GFP-p105 were expressed in monkey COS-7 cells and human HeLa cells. Translocation of these chimeric proteins was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. GFP-p50 (without IkappaB gamma) in the transfected cells resided in the nucleus. On the other hand, GFP-p105 (GFP-p50 with IkappaB gamma) localized only in the cytoplasm before stimulation and translocated to the nucleus with stimulant specificity similar to that of native NF-kappaB/IkappaB. In addition, the translocation of NF-kappaB to the nucleus had a distinct lag time (a quiescent time) in the target cells. The lag time lasted 10-20 min after stimulation with hydrogen peroxide or tumor necrosis factor alpha. It was suggested that this might be due to the existence of a limiting step where NF-kappaB is released from NF-kappaB/IkappaB by the proteasome.  (+info)

Microtubule-dependent plus- and minus end-directed motilities are competing processes for nuclear targeting of adenovirus. (7/8843)

Adenovirus (Ad) enters target cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, escapes to the cytosol, and then delivers its DNA genome into the nucleus. Here we analyzed the trafficking of fluorophore-tagged viruses in HeLa and TC7 cells by time-lapse microscopy. Our results show that native or taxol-stabilized microtubules (MTs) support alternating minus- and plus end-directed movements of cytosolic virus with elementary speeds up to 2.6 micrometer/s. No directed movement was observed in nocodazole-treated cells. Switching between plus- and minus end-directed elementary speeds at frequencies up to 1 Hz was observed in the periphery and near the MT organizing center (MTOC) after recovery from nocodazole treatment. MT-dependent motilities allowed virus accumulation near the MTOC at population speeds of 1-10 micrometer/min, depending on the cell type. Overexpression of p50/dynamitin, which is known to affect dynein-dependent minus end-directed vesicular transport, significantly reduced the extent and the frequency of minus end-directed migration of cytosolic virus, and increased the frequency, but not the extent of plus end-directed motility. The data imply that a single cytosolic Ad particle engages with two types of MT-dependent motor activities, the minus end- directed cytoplasmic dynein and an unknown plus end- directed activity.  (+info)

Estimation of the number of alpha-helical and beta-strand segments in proteins using circular dichroism spectroscopy. (8/8843)

A simple approach to estimate the number of alpha-helical and beta-strand segments from protein circular dichroism spectra is described. The alpha-helix and beta-sheet conformations in globular protein structures, assigned by DSSP and STRIDE algorithms, were divided into regular and distorted fractions by considering a certain number of terminal residues in a given alpha-helix or beta-strand segment to be distorted. The resulting secondary structure fractions for 29 reference proteins were used in the analyses of circular dichroism spectra by the SELCON method. From the performance indices of the analyses, we determined that, on an average, four residues per alpha-helix and two residues per beta-strand may be considered distorted in proteins. The number of alpha-helical and beta-strand segments and their average length in a given protein were estimated from the fraction of distorted alpha-helix and beta-strand conformations determined from the analysis of circular dichroism spectra. The statistical test for the reference protein set shows the high reliability of such a classification of protein secondary structure. The method was used to analyze the circular dichroism spectra of four additional proteins and the predicted structural characteristics agree with the crystal structure data.  (+info)

Initially, we were faced with the decision of how to efficiently construct and screen libraries of DsRed mutants such that we could direct the evolution of tetrameric DsRed toward a mRFP. Ultimately the best solution was to take the semirational approach of breaking the dimer interfaces in a stepwise fashion (first AB then AC) and undertaking a directed evolution strategy to rescue the red fluorescence. This combination of targeted and random mutagenesis successfully directed the evolution of DsRed from the poorly fluorescent dimer T1-I125R to the monomeric mRFP1 in eight generations. In retrospect, breaking up the tetramer was not the barrier to the discovery of mRFP1; the challenge was to find the correct combination of many mutations to rescue the red fluorescence in the crippled dimers and monomers.. There are likely several mechanisms by which mutations in dimer2 and mRFP1 have contributed to rescuing the red fluorescence. Although one mechanism probably involves improving the folding ...

Green-to-red photoconversion is a reaction that occurs in a limited number of fluorescent proteins and that is currently mechanistically debated. In this contribution, we report on our investigation of the photoconvertible fluorescent protein Dendra2 by employing a combination of pump-probe, up-conversion and single photon timing spectroscopic techniques. Our findings indicate that upon excitation of the neutral green state an excited state proton transfer proceeds with a time constant of 3.4 ps between the neutral green and the anionic green states. In concentrated solution we detected resonance energy transfer (25 ps time constant) between green and red monomers. The time-resolved emission spectra suggest also the formation of a super-red species, first observed for DsRed (a red fluorescent protein from the corallimorph species Discosoma) and consistent with peculiar structural details present in both proteins.
Author(s): Shaner, Nathan Christopher | Abstract: Fluorescent proteins are intrinsically fluorescent, genetically encodable tags that can be expressed in many heterologous organisms. Originally cloned from jellyfish and corals, these proteins and their engineered derivatives have become ubiquitous tools in molecular and cell biology. While wild-type fluorescent proteins sometimes possess sufficiently beneficial properties to be used unmodified, many applications require improvements in brightness or photostability, reduction of oligomerization, or other specific properties that require additional engineering of the wild-type protein. This dissertation presents experiments drawn from the entire spectrum of fluorescent protein science, from the cloning of novel wild-type fluorescent proteins to the engineering of wavelength-shifted, photostable, and photoactivatable variants of existing fluorescent proteins. The previously engineered monomeric red fluorescent protein, mRFP1, was engineered through a

mKate2 is the next generation of monomeric far-red fluorescent protein TagFP635 (mKate) [Shcherbo et al., 2007; Shcherbo et al., 2009]. Possessing fluorescence with excitation/emission maxima at 588 and 633 nm, mKate2 is almost 3-fold brighter than TagFP635 and is 10-fold brighter than mPlum at the physiological pH = 7.5. Within the optical window optimal for light penetration in living tissues, calculated brightness of mKate2 is at least 2-fold higher compared to any monomeric fluorescent protein reported to date. mKate2 is characterized by complete and fast chromophore maturation at 37°C with maturation half-time ,20 min (versus 40 min for mCherry). It is more photostable under both widefield and confocal illumination than other monomeric far-red proteins, including TagFP635, mRaspberry and mPlum. The high brightness, far-red emission spectrum, excellent pH resistance and photostability, coupled with low toxicity demonstrated in transgenic Xenopus laevis embryos, make mKate2 a superior ...

Simple and easy to engineer metal-sensing molecules that are capable of differentiating metal ions and producing metal-specific signals are highly desirable. Metal ions affect the thermal stability of proteins by increasing or decreasing their resistance to unfolding. This work illustrates a new strategy for designing bivalent fluorescent fusion proteins capable of differentiating metal ions in solution through their distinct effects on a proteins thermal stability. A new dual purpose metal sensor was developed consisting of biotin protein ligase (BirA) from B. pseudomallei (Bp) fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP). When coupled with differential scanning fluorimetry of GFP-tagged proteins (DSF-GTP) for signal-transduction detection, Bp BirA-GFP yields distinct protein unfolding signatures with Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions in aqueous solutions. The limit of detection of the system is ∼1 μM for both metal species. The system can be used in a variety of high-throughput assay formats including ...

N2 - The green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its mutants have been extensively used to study various cellular processes and, more recently, as labels in binding assays. We have employed a mutant of GFP, an enhanced GFP (EGFP), in the development of homogeneous assays for biotin and cortisol. To demonstrate the feasibility of using EGFP as a label with different kinds of binders in the development of homogeneous assays, we employed the biotin-avidin and an antigen-antibody as the binding pairs. Biotin and cortisol were chemically conjugated to EGFP. A quenching of fluorescence intensity of EGFP was observed upon binding of avidin to the EGFP-biotin conjugate. The percentage fluorescence quenching observed decreased as the concentration of free biotin in the sample increased due to the fewer binding sites on avidin available for ...

AU - Almo, Steven C.. AU - Verkhusha, Vladislav. PY - 2010/8/11. Y1 - 2010/8/11. N2 - LSSmKate1 and LSSmKate2 are monomeric red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) with large Stokes shifts (LSSs), which allows for efficient separation of absorbance and emission maxima, as well as for excitation with conventional two-photon laser sources. These LSSmKates differ by a single amino acid substitution at position 160 and exhibit absorbance maxima around 460 nm, corresponding to a neutral DsRed-like chromophore. However, excitation at 460 nm leads to fluorescence emission above 600 nm.

Current methods for determining ambient redox potential in cells are labor-intensive and generally require destruction of tissue. This precludes single cell or real time studies of changes in redox poise that result from metabolic processes or environmental influences. By substitution of surface-exposed residues on the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) with cysteines in appropriate positions to form disulfide bonds, reduction-oxidation-sensitive GFPs (roGFPs) have been created. roGFPs have two fluorescence excitation maxima at about 400 and 490 nm and display rapid and reversible ratiometric changes in fluorescence in response to changes in ambient redox potential in vitro and in vivo. Crystal structure analyses of reduced and oxidized crystals of roGFP2 at 2.0- and 1.9-A resolution, respectively, reveal in the oxidized state a highly strained disulfide and localized main chain structural changes that presumably account for the state-dependent spectral changes. roGFP1 has been ...
Aequoria victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a revolutionary molecular biology tool because of its spontaneous peptide backbone cyclization and chromophore formation from residues Ser65, Tyr66, and Gly67. Here we use structure-based design, comprehensive targeted mutagenesis, and high-resolution crystallography to probe the significant functional role of conserved Arg96 (R96) in chromophore maturation. The R96M GFP variant, in which the R96M side chain is similar in volume but lacks the R96 positive charge, exhibits dramatically slower chromophore maturation kinetics (from hours to months). Comparison of the precyclized conformation of the chromophore-forming residues with the mature R96M chromophore reveals a similar Y66 conformer, contrary to the large Y66 conformational change previously defined in the slowly maturing R96A variant [Barondeau, D.

Specifically, the response of T-cells upon interaction of a cell surface receptor with an antibody coated multi-well chamber was measured. We observed dynamic changes in the activity of the biosensor molecules with a time resolution that is difficult to achieve with traditional methodologies for observing Förster resonance energy transfer (fluorescence lifetime imaging using single photon counting or frequency domain techniques) and without spectral corrections that are normally required for intensity based methodologies.

Intensive searches for novel green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like fluorescent proteins have identified more than 150 distinct genes that, together with its mutants, cover the excitation range from 380 to 600 nanometers (nm) and the emission range from 440 to 650 nm (see table below). Despite spectral diversity, a family of GFP-like proteins possesses common significant structural, biochemical and photophysical features. Many of these spectroscopically active proteins are developed to commercially available genetically-encoded fluorescent probes. In comparison to other natural pigments and fluorophores, GFP-like proteins stand out because they form internal chromophores without requiring accessory cofactors, external enzymatic catalysis or substrates other than molecular oxygen. It gives GFP-like proteins many advantages including that chromophore formation is possible in live organisms, tissues or cells while maintaining their integrity as well as molecular, organelle and tissue targeting and ...
The recent emergence of an autofluorescent protein, the green fluorescent protein (GFP), has opened the door for the convenient use of intact living cells and organisms as experimental systems in fields ranging from cell biology to biomedicine. We present an overview of some of the major applications of GFP, namely its use in protein tagging and in monitoring gene expression as well as its potential in a variety of biological screens.. ...
Fluorescent proteins are likely one of the most famous research tools derived from bioprospecting. Examples include dsRed as well as GFP and its many derivatives, which have been utilized throughout biological research. Interestingly, these fluorescent proteins are finding new purpose in medicine as visual guides during surgery. Before tumorectomy, a mouse with internal tumors is injected with a recombinant form of GFP, which is targeted to and accumulates on the cells of blood vessels. During surgical removal of the tumor, the introduced GFP provides a surgeon with a strong visual queue of nearby blood vessels greatly reducing the risk of blood vessel lacerations. DNA and RNA polymerases are the workhorses of modern biotechnology. Almost every aspect of modern biological research depends upon nucleic acid polymerases in one way or another. Recombinant cloning techniques, Sanger sequencing, and qPCR cover a few of the most common uses. These examples also highlight the shared importance of ...

PY - 2005/8/10. Y1 - 2005/8/10. N2 - We describe a general methodology for the direct detection of DNA by the design of a split-protein system that reassembles to form an active complex only in the presence of a targeted DNA sequence. This approach, called SEquence Enabled Reassembly (SEER) of proteins, combines the ability to rationally dissect proteins to construct oligomerization-dependent protein reassembly systems and the availability of DNA binding Cys2-His2 zinc-finger motifs for the recognition of specific DNA sequences. We demonstrate the feasibility of the SEER approach utilizing the split green fluorescent protein appended to appropriate zinc fingers, such that chromophore formation is only catalyzed in the presence of DNA sequences that incorporate binding sites for both zinc fingers.. AB - We ...

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is the most commonly used reporter protein for monitoring gene expression and protein localization in a variety of living and fixed cells, including not only prokaryotes, but eukaryotes also, e. EGFP inhibited both cell nest and growth development, and activated cell loss of life in Ku80-lacking hamster cells, i.y., xrs-6 cells. In addition, Ku80 attenuated EGFP-induced cytotoxicity in the xrs-6 cells. No EGFP-induced cytotoxicity was noticed in the NHEJ primary proteins XRCC4-lacking hamster cells, i.y., XR-1 cells. Furthermore, Substantially enhanced X-ray-induced cytotoxicity in the xrs-6 cells EGFP. These outcomes recommend that Ku80 has a essential function in the story NHEJ-independent protection system against EGFP-induced cytotoxicity. Extreme care should end up being used in taking into consideration of the potential impact by the tension response system, specifically, the Ku80-reliant reduction system of EGFP-induced cytotoxicity, getting turned on, ...
Mechanics of living mammalian cytoplasm 1.Overview The cytoplasm of living mammalian cells is a crowded, yet dynamic environment(1). It provides the key physical environment to the cellular factory and all intracellular physiological processes from transcription, translation, to protein binding and folding. Therefore, understanding the fundamental physical nature of the cytoplasm is critical to understanding the basic physiology of cells. Moreover, there are continuous intracellular movements that are vital for cell function, such as transport of vesicles and other organelles. While biological motors and other enzymatic processes provide key driving forces for these activities, the mechanical behavior of the cytoplasm are crucial for determining the mechanical resistance that cellular compartments experience. Both the active driving force and appropriate mechanical environment are critical for shaping the living cellular machinery. However, while the force that molecular motors generate both ...

We report for the first time the rela time non-invasive kinetic analysis of three steps in the NF-κB signalling pathway; IκBα degradation, p65 translocation and NF-κB-dependent transcription. We have used these tools to investigate the link between the kinetics of the NF-κB pathway, the levels of NF-κB and IκB proteins in cell compartments, and the resulting timing of transcription.. We showed that both the p65-EGFP and p65-dsRed fluorescent fusion proteins gave rise to the nuclear translocation in response to TNFα treatment, which is characteristic of the functional endogenous protein. Ding et al. previously reported an endogenous p65 nuclear translocation half time of 7-8 minutes in HeLa cells following TNFα stimulation ( Ding et al., 1998). In comparison, we obtained a longer half time of 19±2.9 minutes for nuclear translocation of p65-EGFP in singly transfected cells ( Fig. 1A) in agreement with other studies using a p65-EGFP fluorescent fusion protein and stimulation with IL-1β ( ...

pKatushka2S-N is a mammalian expression vector encoding far-red fluorescent protein Katushka2S (see reporter description). The vector allows generation of fusions to the Katushka2S N-terminus and expression of Katushka2S fusions or Katushka2S alone in eukaryotic (mammalian) cells. Katushka2S codon usage is optimized for high expression in mammalian cells (humanized) [Haas et al., 1996]. To increase mRNA translation efficiency, Kozak consensus translation initiation site is generated upstream of the Katushka2S coding sequence [Kozak, 1987]. Multiple cloning site (MCS) is located between PCMV IE and Katushka2S coding sequence. The vector backbone contains immediate early promoter of cytomegalovirus (PCMV IE) for protein expression, SV40 origin for replication in mammalian cells expressing SV40 T-antigen, pUC origin of replication for propagation in E. coli, and f1 origin for single-stranded DNA production. SV40 polyadenylation signals (SV40 poly A) direct proper processing of the 3-end of the ...

In search of localised membrane protein assembly centres in bacteria. PspA (Phage-Shock Protein A) is a widespread bacterial protein known to be important for preserving membrane integrity under environmental stress conditions. The related Vipp1 protein is found in cyanobacteria (and plant chloroplasts) and seems to play a crucial role in the biogenesis of photosynthetic membranes. In both case, the mechanism of action of the protein is enigmatic. We have visualised both proteins in vivo using fluorescence microscopy and fluorescent protein tags, and found that they form clusters near to the membrane under the conditions when they are likely to be physiologically active. Combined with biochemical identification of interaction partners under these conditions, this suggests a novel hypothesis: that both these proteins may help to organise assembly centres for the rapid and localised production of membrane and secreted proteins. A key prediction of this hypothesis is that specific mRNA molecules ...
