Calcium Rubies: A Family of Red-Emitting Functionalizable Indicators Suitable for Two-Photon Ca2+ Imaging
摘要:
We designed Calcium Rubies, a family of functionalizable BAPTA-based red-fluorescent calcium (Ca2+) indicators as new tools for biological Ca2+ imaging. The specificity of this Ca2+-indicator family is its side arm, attached on the ethylene glycol bridge that allows coupling the indicator to various groups while leaving open the possibility of aromatic substitutions on the BAPTA core for tuning the Ca2+-binding affinity. Using this possibility we now synthesize and characterize three different CaRubies with affinities between 3 and 22 mu M. Their long excitation and emission wavelengths (peaks at 586/604 nm) allow their use in otherwise challenging multicolor experiments, e.g., when combining Ca2+ uncaging or optogenetic stimulation with Ca2+ imaging in cells expressing fluorescent proteins. We illustrate this capacity by the detection of Ca2+ transients evoked by blue light in cultured astrocytes expressing CatCh, a light-sensitive Ca2+-translocating channelrhodopsin linked to yellow fluorescent protein. Using time-correlated single-photon counting, we measured fluorescence lifetimes for all CaRubies and demonstrate a 10-fold increase in the average lifetime upon Ca2+ chelation. Since only the fluorescence quantum yield but not the absorbance of the CaRubies is Ca2+-dependent, calibrated two-photon fluorescence excitation measurements of absolute Ca2+ concentrations are feasible.

enzyme has allowed the measurement of defined and reproducible k(cat) and K(m) values and has expanded the range of mechanistic studies that can be performed. The primary deuterium kinetic isotope effect upon k(cat)/K(m) for the abstraction of the proton alpha to the carboxylic acid was measured to be 1.67 +/- 0.07, showing that deprotonation occurs in a rate-limiting step.

Discussion The kinetic study was performed spectrophotometrically. All reactions proceeded with quantitative liberation of Y-substituted phenoxide ion (and/or its conjugate acid) under pseudo-first- order conditions (i.e., the nucleophile concentration in excess over the substrate concentration). The reactions obeyed first- order kinetics and pseudo-first-order rate constants (

Synthesis and Characterization of a New Red-Emitting Ca<sup>2+</sup> Indicator, Calcium Ruby
Calcium Ruby m-Cl (X = H, Y = Cl) is a visible-light excited red-emitting calcium concentration ([Ca2+]) indicator dye (579/598 nm peak excitation/emission) with a side arm for conjugation via EDC or click chemistry. Its large molar extinction and high quantum yield rank it among the brightest long-wavelength Ca2+ indicators. Calcium Ruby is a promising alternative to existing dyes for imaging [Ca2+] in multicolor fluorescence applications or in the presence of yellow-green cellular autofluorescence.
