Abstract

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective autophagic pathway responsible for degrading cytoplasmic proteins within lysosomes. Monitoring CMA flux is essential for understanding its functions and molecular mechanisms but remains technically complex and challenging. In this study, we developed a pH-resistant probe, KFERQ-Gamillus, by screening various green fluorescent proteins. This probe is activated under conditions known to induce CMA, such as serum starvation, and relies on LAMP2A and the KFERQ motif for lysosomal localization and degradation, demonstrating its specificity for the CMA pathway. It enables the detection of CMA activity in living cells through both microscopy and image-based flow cytometry. Additionally, we created a dual-reporter system, KFERQ-Gamillus-Halo, by integrating KFERQ-Gamillus with the Halo-tag system. This probe not only distinguishes between protein synthesis and degradation but also facilitates the detection of intracellular CMA flux via immunoblotting and the rapid assessment of CMA activity using flow cytometry. Together, the KFERQ-Gamillus-Halo probe provides quantitative and time-resolved monitoring for CMA activity and flux in living cells. This tool holds promising potential for high-throughput screening and biomedical research related to CMA.

摘要

伴侣介导的自噬(CMA)是一种选择性自噬途径,负责在溶酶体内降解细胞质蛋白。监测CMA通量对于理解其功能和分子机制至关重要,但在技术上仍然复杂且具有挑战性。在本研究中,我们通过筛选各种绿色荧光蛋白开发了一种耐pH探针KFERQ-Gamillus。该探针在已知诱导CMA的条件下(如血清饥饿)被激活,并依赖于LAMP2A和KFERQ基序进行溶酶体定位和降解,证明了其对CMA途径的特异性。它能够通过显微镜和基于图像的流式细胞术检测活细胞中的CMA活性。此外,我们通过将KFERQ-Gamillus与Halo标签系统整合,创建了一个双报告系统KFERQ-Gamillus-Halo。该探针不仅可以区分蛋白质合成和降解,还可以通过免疫印迹检测细胞内CMA通量,并使用流式细胞术快速评估CMA活性。总之,KFERQ-Gamillus-Halo探针为活细胞中的CMA活性和通量提供了定量和时间分辨的监测。该工具在与CMA相关的高通量筛选和生物医学研究中具有广阔的应用前景。
