We describe a red-shifted fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair optimized for dual-color fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM). This pair utilizes a newly developed FRET donor, monomeric cyan-excitable red fluorescent protein (mCyRFP1), which has a large Stokes shift and a monoexponential fluorescence lifetime decay. When used together with EGFP-based biosensors, the new pair enables simultaneous imaging of the activities of two signaling molecules in single dendritic spines undergoing structural plasticity.
我们描述了一种为双色荧光寿命成像(FLIM)优化的红移荧光共振能量转移(FRET)对。该对使用了一种新开发的FRET供体,单体青色可激发红色荧光蛋白(mCyRFP1),它具有大的斯托克斯位移和单指数荧光寿命衰减。当与基于增强型绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)的生物传感器一起使用时,这一新的对能够在经历结构可塑性的单个树突棘中同时成像两种信号分子的活性。
