Jun, David M. Chenoweth* and E. James Petersson* Accepted 00th January 20xx Fluorescent small molecules are powerful tools for visualizing biological events, embodying an essential facet of chemical DOI: 10.1039/x0xx00000x biology. Since the discovery of the first organic fluorophore, quinine, in 1845, both synthetic and theoretical efforts have endeavored to “modulate” fluorescent compounds. An advantage of synthetic dyes is the ability to employ modern organic chemistry strategies to tailor chemical structures and thereby rationally tune photophysical properties and functionality of the fluorophore. This review explores general factors affecting fluorophore excitation and emission spectra, molar absorption, Stokes shift, and quantum efficiency; and provides guidelines for chemist to create novel probes. Structure- property relationships concerning the substituents are discussed in detail with examples for several dye families. Then, we present a survey of functional probes based on PeT, FRET, and environmental or photo-sensitivity, focusing on representative recent work in each category. We believe that a full understanding of dyes with diverse chemical moieties enables the rational design of probes for the precise interrogation of biochemical and biological phenomena.

Carsten, III, M.D. ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2016, with ~840,000 of them in the United States alone. Traditional risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes, are well discussed. In recent years, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a risk factor of equal importance. Patients with mild-to-moderate CKD are much more likely to develop and die from CVDs than progress to end-stage renal failure.

  • Product Information Sheet
    AAT Bioquest®, Inc. Product Technical Information Sheet Last Updated July 2012 Classic Calcium Detection Reagents Calcium acts as a universal second messenger in a variety of cells. Numerous functions of all types of cells are regulated by Ca2+ to a greater or lesser degree, thus calcium measurement is critical for numerous biological investigations. Since the 1920s, scientists have attempted to measure Ca2+, but few were successful due to limited availability of Ca2+ probes. The first reliable measurement of Ca2+ was performed by Ridgway and Ashley by injecting the photoprotein aequorin into the giant muscle fiber of the barnacle. Subsequently, in the 1980s, Tsien and colleagues produced a variety of fluorescent indicators. Among them Indo-1, Fura-2, Fluo-3 and Rhod-2 have been the most valuable dyes for measuring Ca2+ with a fluorescence instrument. Fluorescent probes that show spectral responses upon binding to Ca2+ have enabled researchers to investigate changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations by using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers. Most of these fluorescent indicators are derivatives of BAPTA chelators that incorporate a PET system responsive to calcium. FLIPR® and FlexStation™ instruments of Molecular Devices Corp., FDSS of Hamamatsu Corp. and NOVOstar™ of BMG Technologies have enabled high throughput measurement of calcium for GPCR and ion channel research. There are quite a few factors that need to be considered when selecting a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. Spectral Properties: For UV excitation, Indo-1 and Fura-2 are widely used. Fluo-3 is preferred for 488 nm excitation while Rhod-2 and X-rhod are used for red emissions.

This technique, often referred to as photoaffinity labelling, uses radical precursors that react almost instantaneously to yield spatial and temporal information about the nature of the interaction and the interacting partner(s). This review focuses on the recent advances in chemical biology in the use of benzophenones and diazirines, two of the most commonly known light-activatable radical precursors, with a focus on the last three years, and is intended to provide a solid understanding of their chemical and biological principles and their applications. Keywords: photoaffinity labelling; benzophenone; diazirine; radical precursors; interactome; SABRE; hyperpolarizing agents; crosslinking; photochemistry 1. Introduction The use of radicals or photoactivatable radical precursors has become ubiquitous in the fields of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology in the past three decades.

  • Ca2+-Activated Kca3.1 Potassium Channels Contribute to the Slow
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ca2+‑activated KCa3.1 potassium channels contribute to the slow afterhyperpolarization in L5 neocortical pyramidal neurons M. V. Roshchin, V. N. Ierusalimsky, P. M. Balaban & E. S. Nikitin* Layer 5 neocortical pyramidal neurons are known to display slow Ca2+‑dependent afterhyperpolarization (sAHP) after bursts of spikes, which is similar to the sAHP in CA1 hippocampal cells. However, the mechanisms of sAHP in the neocortex remain poorly understood. Here, we identifed the Ca2+‑gated potassium KCa3.1 channels as contributors to sAHP in ER81‑positive neocortical pyramidal neurons. Moreover, our experiments strongly suggest that the relationship between sAHP and KCa3.1 channels in a feedback mechanism underlies the adaptation of the spiking frequency of layer 5 pyramidal neurons. We demonstrated the relationship between KCa3.1 channels and sAHP using several parallel methods: electrophysiology, pharmacology, immunohistochemistry, and photoactivatable probes. Our experiments demonstrated that ER81 immunofuorescence in layer 5 co‑localized with KCa3.1 immunofuorescence in the soma. Targeted Ca2+ uncaging confrmed two major features of KCa3.1 channels: preferential somatodendritic localization and Ca2+‑driven gating. In addition, both the sAHP and the slow Ca2+‑induced hyperpolarizing current were sensitive to TRAM‑ 34, a selective blocker of KCa3.1 channels. Te neocortex is the largest part of the cortex (~ 90% of the entire cortex in humans), and plays a crucial role in higher functions of the brain such as interpretation of sensory information, formation and storage of long-term memory, language usage, and control of voluntary movements. Pyramidal neurons play a key role in all cortical activities and constitute ~ 80% of all neocortical neurons.

  • Regulation of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore by PINK1
    Gautier et al. Molecular Neurodegeneration 2012, 7:22 http://www.molecularneurodegeneration.com/content/7/1/22 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Regulation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore by PINK1 Clement A Gautier1,4†, Emilie Giaime1†, Erica Caballero2, Lucía Núñez2, Zhiyin Song3, David Chan3, Carlos Villalobos2 and Jie Shen1* Abstract Background: Loss-of-function mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) have been linked to familial Parkinson’s disease, but the underlying pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. We previously reported that loss of PINK1 impairs mitochondrial respiratory activity in mouse brains. Results: In this study, we investigate how loss of PINK1 impairs mitochondrial respiration using cultured primary fibroblasts and neurons. We found that intact mitochondria in PINK1−/− cells recapitulate the respiratory defect in isolated mitochondria from PINK1−/− mouse brains, suggesting that these PINK1−/− cells are a valid experimental system to study the underlying mechanisms. Enzymatic activities of the electron transport system complexes are normal in PINK1−/− cells, but mitochondrial transmembrane potential is reduced. Interestingly, the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is increased in PINK1−/− cells, and this genotypic difference between PINK1−/− and control cells is eliminated by agonists or inhibitors of the mPTP. Furthermore, inhibition of mPTP opening rescues the defects in transmembrane potential and respiration in PINK1−/− cells. Consistent with our earlier findings in mouse brains, mitochondrial morphology is similar between PINK1−/− and wild-type cells, indicating that the observed mitochondrial functional defects are not due to morphological changes. Following FCCP treatment, calcium increases in the cytosol are higher in PINK1−/− compared to wild-type cells, suggesting that intra-mitochondrial calcium concentration is higher in the absence of PINK1.
