Excited-State Proton-Transfer-Induced Trapping Enhances the Fluorescence Emission of a Locked GFP Chromophore
The chemical locking of the central single bond in core chromophores of green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) influences their excited-state behavior in a distinct manner. Experimentally, it significantly enhances the fluorescence quantum yield of GFP chromophores with an ortho-hydroxyl group, while it has almost no effect on the photophysics of GFP chromophores with a para-hydroxyl group. To unrav...
متن کاملMapping proton wires in proteins: carbonic anhydrase and GFP chromophore biosynthesis.
We have developed an algorithm for mapping proton wires in proteins and applied it to the X-ray structures of human carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II), the green fluorescent protein (GFP), and some of their mutants. For both proteins, we find more extensive proton wires than typically reported. In CA-II the active site wire exits to the protein surface, and leads to Glu69 and Asp72, located on an el...
متن کاملThe thermal isomerization of the GFP chromophore: A computational study.
We present a density functional theory (B3LYP) study of the isomerization of 4-hydroxybenzylidene-1,2-dimethyl-imidazolinone (HOBDI), which is to mimic the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore, in the ground state promoted by a nucleophile. Four solvents with different polarity, water, DMSO, methanol, and benzene, have been used to characterize the nucleophile assisted mechanism. The for...
متن کاملChemically modulating the photophysics of the GFP chromophore.
There is growing interest in engineering the properties of fluorescent proteins through modifications to the chromophore structure utilizing mutagenesis with either natural or unnatural amino acids. This entails an understanding of the photophysical and photochemical properties of the modified chromophore. In this work, a range of GFP chromophores with different alkyl substituents are synthesiz...
متن کاملAn alternate proton acceptor for excited-state proton transfer in green fluorescent protein: rewiring GFP.
The neutral form of the chromophore in wild-type green fluorescent protein (wtGFP) undergoes excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) upon excitation, resulting in characteristic green (508 nm) fluorescence. This ESPT reaction involves a proton relay from the phenol hydroxyl of the chromophore to the ionized side chain of E222, and results in formation of the anionic chromophore in a protein enviro...
