Abstract

Förster (or Fluorescence) Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is unique in generating fluorescence signals sensitive to molecular conformation, association, and separation in the 1-10 nm range. We introduce a revised photophysical framework for the phenomenon and provide a systematic catalog of FRET techniques adapted to imaging systems, including new approaches proposed as suitable prospects for implementation. Applications extending from a single molecule to live cells will benefit from multidimensional microscopy techniques, particularly those adapted for optical sectioning and incorporating new algorithms for resolving the component contributions to images of complex molecular systems.

FRET-FLIM for the Study of Protein-Protein Interactions Underpinning Mitosis Checkpoints.

Cell division is a key cellular process that ensures the continuation of life on Earth. In order to protect the genetic integrity of organisms, cell division must happen accurately, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the original genome. The accuracy of this process is, in part, preserved by various cell cycle checkpoints. These checkpoints rely on the physical interactions of their components to ensure proper function. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), for example, produces an inhibitory complex of BUBR1-BUB3 and MAD2 bound to CDC20. Many of these cell cycle checkpoint components have been identified in plants, but it has not yet been established whether plants have a mitotic checkpoint architecture that is similar to mammalian cells. To understand the function of plant cell cycle homologues, it is imperative to characterize their interactions in vivo. FRET-FLIM (Förster resonance energy transfer-fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy), is a rapidly expanding technique that can be used to rapidly and simply characterize protein-protein interactions.

Conformations of variably linked chimeric proteins evaluated by synchrotron X-ray small-angle scattering.

We constructed chimeric proteins that consist of two green fluorescent protein variants, EBFP and EGFP, connected by flexible linkers, (GGGGS)n (n = 3 approximately 4), and helical linkers, (EAAAK)n (n = 2 approximately 5). The conformations of the chimeric proteins with the various linkers were evaluated using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The SAXS experiments showed that introducing the short helical linkers (n = 2 approximately 3) causes multimerization, while the longer linkers (n = 4 approximately 5) solvate monomeric chimeric proteins. With the moderate-length linkers (n = 4), the observed radius of gyration (R(g)) and maximum dimension (D(max)) were 38.8 A and 120 A with the flexible linker, and 40.2 A and 130 A with the helical linker, respectively. The chimeric protein with the helical linker assumed a more elongated conformation as compared to that with the flexible linker. When the length of the helical linker increased (n = 5), R(g) and D(max) increased to 43.2 A and 140 A, respectively. These results suggest that the longer helix effectively separates the two domains of the chimeric protein. Considering the connectivity of the backbone peptide of the protein, the helical linker seems to connect the two domains diagonally. Surprisingly, the chimeric proteins with the flexible linker exhibited an elongated conformation, rather than the most compact side-by-side conformation expected from the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis. Furthermore, the SAXS analyses suggest that destabilization of the short helical linker causes multimerization of the chimeric proteins. Information about the global conformation of the chimeric protein is thus be necessary for optimization of the linker design.

Single molecule observation of liposome-bilayer fusion thermally induced by soluble N-ethyl maleimide sensitive-factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs).

A single molecule fluorescence assay is presented for studying the mechanism of soluble N-ethyl maleimide sensitive-factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs)-mediated liposome fusion to supported lipid bilayers. The three neuronal SNAREs syntaxin-1A, synaptobrevin-II (VAMP), and SNAP-25A were expressed separately, and various dye-labeled combinations of the SNAREs were tested for their ability to dock liposomes and induce fusion. Syntaxin and synaptobrevin in opposing membranes were both necessary and sufficient to dock liposomes to supported bilayers and to induce thermally activated fusion. As little as one SNARE interaction was sufficient for liposome docking. Fusion of docked liposomes with the supported bilayer was monitored by the dequenching of soluble fluorophores entrapped within the liposomes. Fusion was stimulated by illumination with laser light, and the fusion probability was enhanced by raising the ambient temperature from 22 to 37 degrees C, suggesting a thermally activated process. Surprisingly, SNAP-25 had little effect on docking efficiency or the probability of thermally induced fusion. Interprotein fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments suggest the presence of other conformational states of the syntaxin*synaptobrevin interaction in addition to those observed in the crystal structure of the SNARE complex. Furthermore, although SNARE complexes involved in liposome docking preferentially assemble into a parallel configuration, both parallel and antiparallel configurations were observed.
