monitoring of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) activity is crucial for investigating its role in lipid‐mediated signaling processes. In this study, we synthesized fluorescent phosphosphingolipids capable of FRET by phosphorodichloridate chemistry. These sphingomyelin analogues are substrates for recombinant human ASM and can be used to monitor ASM activity by fluorescence spectroscopy. Incubation with cell lysates
实时监测酸性鞘磷脂酶(ASM)活性对于研究其在脂质介导的信号传导过程中的作用至关重要。在这项研究中,我们通过二氯化磷化学合成了能够进行FRET的荧光磷酸鞘脂。这些鞘磷脂类似物是重组人ASM的底物,可用于通过荧光光谱监测ASM活性。与野生型和基因敲除小鼠的细胞裂解液一起温育进一步证实了探针裂解是ASM独有的。我们还系统地利用了荧光团的环境敏感性,以实现响应能力的显着提高。该概念将来可能会转移到其他脂质探针。通过双光子激发显微镜对活细胞中的ASM活性进行成像。
