Abstract:S-Nitrosylation of cysteine residues is an important molecular mechanism for dynamic, post-translational regulation of several proteins, providing a ubiquitous redox regulation. Cys residues are present in several fluorescent proteins (FP), including members of the family of Aequorea victoria Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-derived FPs, where two highly conserved cysteine residues contribute to a favorable environment for the autocatalytic chromophore formation reaction. The effect of nitric oxide on the fluor… Show more
“…As a prototype case, the blue fluorescent protein mTagBFP2 with three cysteine residues showed a decrease of ∼0.7 ns in response to the NO concentration. 92 Other FPs with cysteine residues such as EGFP, EYFP and TagRFP-T exhibited NO-induced fluorescence quenching and showed their potential for the development of fluorescence lifetime-based NO sensors. Table 4 provides a summary of fluorescence lifetime biosensors in the detection of analytes including metal ions and redox states.…”
