Today’s Announcements
Email me your Powerpoint presentation to me at least 1 hr before class ! (Put your name as filename.) You may use your own computers but it may be harder.
Today’s take-home lessons(i.e. what you should be able to answer at end of lecture)
1. GFP can Fluoresce.2. Basics of labeling in vivo (GFP, FLASH, others…). 3. Super-Accuracy (FIONA)4. Total Internal Reflection
(Motor) protein GFP
Green Fluorescent Protein (Nobel, 2009)Genetically encoded dye (fluorescent protein)
Kinesin – GFP fusion Wong RM et al. PNAS, 2002
Genetically encoded perfect specificity
G. H. Patterson et al., Science 297, 1873 -1877 (2002) Photo-active GFP
Wild-type GFP T203H GFP: PA-GFP
Photoactivatable variant of GFP that, after intense irradiation with 413-nanometer light, increasesfluorescence 100 times when excited by 488-nanometer light and remainsstable for days under aerobic conditions
Native= filled circle
Photoactivated= Open squares
GFP: How protein makes color
Threonine (Thr or T)is an α-amino acid, HO2CCH(NH2)CH(OH)CH3. Its codons are ACU, ACA, ACC, and ACG. This essential amino acid is classified as polar.
Tyrosine (abbreviated as Tyr or Y) is a non-essential amino acid with a polar side group. The word "tyrosine" is from the Greek tyros, meaning cheese, as it was first discovered in 1846 by German chemist Justus von Liebig in the protein casein from cheese.
Glycine (Gly or G) , NH2CH2COOH, is the smallest of the 20 amino acids.
Basics of Labeling In vivo (inside cell)Cell has a membrane, which is, in general, impermeant to dyes!
