Genetically encoded reporters for optical measurements of presynaptic activity hold significant promise for measurements of neurotransmission within intact or semi-intact neuronal networks. We have characterized pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein-based sensors (pHluorins) of synaptic vesicle cycling at nerve terminals. pHluorins have a pK approximately 7.1, which make them ideal for tracking synaptic vesicle lumen pH upon cycling through the plasma membrane during action potentials. A theoretical analysis of the expected signals using this approach and guidelines for future reporter development are provided.
用于突触前活动光学测量的基因编码报告分子,在完整或半完整神经元网络内的神经传递测量方面具有巨大潜力。我们已经对基于pH敏感绿色荧光蛋白的神经末梢突触小泡循环传感器(pHluorins)进行了表征。pHluorins的pK约为7.1,这使其非常适合在动作电位期间通过质膜循环时追踪突触小泡腔的pH值。本文提供了使用这种方法对预期信号的理论分析以及未来报告分子开发的指导方针。
