Abstract:Cellular iron supply is required for various biochemical processes. Measuring bioavailable iron in cells aids in obtaining a better understanding of its biochemical activities but is technically challenging. Existing techniques have several constraints that make precise localization difficult, and the lack of a functional readout makes it unclear whether the tested labile iron is available for metalloproteins. Here, we use geNOps; a ferrous iron-dependent genetically encoded fluorescent nitric oxide (NO) biose… Show more
“…Its recognition motif is the bacterially derived GAF structural domain, which is Fe 2+ -dependent and needs to be activated by Fe 2+ to function accordingly. 115 In addition, the discovery of lanmodulin opened up the possibility of using genetically encoded fluorescent protein sensors to detect lanthanides. Lanmodulin is the first natural, highly selective chelator for lanthanide (LnIII) ions.…”
