History, application, development and evolution of fluorescent proteinen ("Biologie in unserer Zeit")

Aequorin

The classical paper by the Trewavas group on aequorin plants (you need to be logged in via vpn to get the pdf)

New approach to detect protein translocation to the membrane based on the Aequorin reporter (Giorgi et al. 2011)

Photoactivable GFP

Publication of Mathur et al. 2010 on the use of the photoactivable Dendra protein

Publication by Adam et al. 2008 on mIRIS

Glossar der Begriffe

 

 


1. You want to design a GFP mutant, where the spectrum is shifted towards longer wavelength. Which strategy would you use?


2. For what application did Martin Chalfie plant to use GFP? What alternative approaches existed at that time? Why was he initially sceptical, whether the GFP approach would work. You have to read for this his Nobel Prize Speech.


3. What happens, when you irradiate mIRIS with near UV and then with green?

 

o it is green fluorescent

o it is red fluorescent

o it is blue fluorescent

o it is not fluorescent at all


4. How can actin polarity determined by the help of EosFP (you have to read Mathur et al. 2010 for answering this).


5. Describe an approach to follow integration of proteins into the membrane in real time using the aequorin reporter
