Abstract: | We report a pH-insensitive and photostable ultramarine fluorescent protein, Sirius, with an emission peak at 424 nm, the shortest emission wavelength among fluorescent proteins reported to date. The pH-insensitivity of Sirius allowed prolonged visualization of biological events in an acidic environment. Furthermore, two FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) pairs, Sirius-mseCFP and Sapphire-DsRed, allow dual-FRET imaging with single wavelength excitation, enabling detection of Ca^[2+] concentration and caspase-3 activation in the same apoptotic cells. |
