Measure and visualize intracellular changes in redox state. We present the application of a redox-sensitive mutant of the yellow fluorescent protein (rxYFP) to image, with elevated sensitivity and high temporal and spatial resolution, oxidative responses of eukaryotic cells to pathophysiological stimuli. The method presented, based on the ratiometric quantitation of the distribution of fluorescence by confocal microscopy, allows us to draw real-time “redox maps” of adherent cells and to score…

Real-time imaging of the intracellular glutathione redox potential

It is demonstrated that the fusion of human glutaredoxin-1 to roGFP2 facilitates specific real-time equilibration between the sensor protein and the glutathione redox couple, which facilitated the observation of redox changes associated with growth factor availability, cell density, mitochondrial depolarization, respiratory burst activity and immune receptor stimulation.

Imaging Dynamic Redox Changes in Mammalian Cells with Green Fluorescent Protein Indicators*

The response of the redox probes under physiological redox changes during superoxide bursts in macrophage cells, hyperoxic and hypoxic conditions, and in responses to H2O2-stimulating agents, e.g. epidermal growth factor and lysophosphatidic acid is investigated.

Investigating Mitochondrial Redox Potential with Redox-sensitive Green Fluorescent Protein Indicators*

By substitution of surface-exposed residues on the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein with cysteines in appropriate positions to form disulfide bonds, reduction-oxidation-sensitive GFPs (roGFPs) have been created and targeted to the mitochondria in HeLa cells.

Measuring intracellular redox conditions using GFP-based sensors.

The redox sensors have been characterized biochemically and found to behave differently, both spectroscopically and in terms of redox properties; however, which parameters are measured depends on how the sensors interact with various cellular redox components.

Creating new fluorescent probes for cell biology

Advances include the continued development of 'passive' markers for the measurement of biomolecule expression and localization in live cells, and 'active' indicators for monitoring more complex cellular processes such as small-molecule-messenger dynamics, enzyme activation and protein–protein interactions.

Shedding light on disulfide bond formation: engineering a redox switch in green fluorescent protein

In the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli, the protein was a sensitive probe for the redox changes that occur upon disruption of the thioredoxin reductive pathway and a detailed mechanism accounting for the observed redox state‐dependent fluorescence is proposed.
