The two opposing yeast copper regulators, Ace1 and Mac1, were converted into two fluorescent probes, Ace1-FRET and Mac1-FRET, which selectively and sensitively respond to Cu(+). The Cu(+)-binding curves obtained for both regulators as well as for the copper storage proteins Cup1 and Crs5 show that free copper(i) is maintained in a narrow window inside yeast.
两种对立的酵母铜调控因子 Ace1 和 Mac1 被转化为两种荧光探针 Ace1-FRET 和 Mac1-FRET,它们可选择性且灵敏地响应 Cu(+)。两种调节剂以及铜储存蛋白 Cup1 和 Crs5 的 Cu(+)结合曲线表明游离铜(i)在酵母内部的一个狭窄窗口内保持。
