文摘
We describe herein fluorescent indicators for cyclic GMP(cGMP) in single living cells. cGMP-dependent proteinkinase I (PKG I), a receptor for cGMP, was fused withblue- and red-shifted green fluorescent proteins (GFPs)to its N- and C-termini, respectively. Using PKG I1-47,in which the dimerization domain was deleted, fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the GFPs wasfound to increase upon cGMP-induced conformationalchange in PKG I1-47. We demonstrated that thus-developed fluorescent indicators reversibly responded tocGMP that was produced in nitric oxide-stimulatedHEK293 cells. The present genetically encoded fluorescent indicators open a way not only for understanding thedynamics of cGMP signaling in single cells and organismsbut also for discovering pharmaceuticals such as isoform-specific inhibitors for phosphodiesterases.
