To determine the suitability of various coelenterazine analogues for the regeneration of aequorin in living cells, the membrane permeabilities of 11 analogues were measured using the eggs of the killifish Fundulus grandis by soaking the eggs in solutions containing the analogues. The results indicated that e-coelenterazine, which has an exceptionally high rate of in vitro regeneration of aequorin, not only permeated poorly into the eggs but also was highly unstable. All other analogues tested permeated sufficiently into the eggs. The highest permeability was found with f-coelenterazine; the concentration of f-coelenterazine in the eggs was about five times that in the surrounding medium, assuming that the distribution of the compound in the egg is uniform.
为了确定各种腔肠素类似物在活细胞中用于水母发光蛋白再生的适用性,通过将鳉鱼(Fundulus grandis)的卵浸泡在含有类似物的溶液中,测量了11种类似物的膜通透性。结果表明,体外水母发光蛋白再生速率极高的e-腔肠素不仅向卵内的渗透较差,而且非常不稳定。测试的所有其他类似物都能充分渗透到卵内。f-腔肠素的通透性最高;假设该化合物在卵内分布均匀,卵内f-腔肠素的浓度约为周围培养基中的五倍。
