Mitochondria-targeted cpYFP: pH or superoxide sensor?
The JGP series Perspectives on: SGP Symposium on Mitochondrial Physiology and Medicine includes articles by Wei and Dirksen (2012) and by Santo-Domingo and Demaurex (2012), which highlight two fields of research in mitochondrial physiology experiencing renewed interest thanks to the development of new genetically encoded probes: mt-cpYFP (a mitochondria-targeted superoxide sensor) and mitoSypHe...
متن کاملMitoNeoD: A Mitochondria-Targeted Superoxide Probe.
Mitochondrial superoxide (O2⋅-) underlies much oxidative damage and redox signaling. Fluorescent probes can detect O2⋅-, but are of limited applicability in vivo, while in cells their usefulness is constrained by side reactions and DNA intercalation. To overcome these limitations, we developed a dual-purpose mitochondrial O2⋅- probe, MitoNeoD, which can assess O2⋅- changes in vivo by mass spect...
متن کاملSuperoxide Flashes in Single Mitochondria
In quiescent cells, mitochondria are the primary source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generated by leakiness of the electron transport chain (ETC). High levels of ROS can trigger cell death, whereas lower levels drive diverse and important cellular functions. We show here by employing a newly developed mitochondrial matrix-targeted superoxide indicator, that individual mitochondri...
متن کاملSelective superoxide generation within mitochondria by the targeted redox cycler MitoParaquat.
Superoxide is the proximal reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the mitochondrial respiratory chain and plays a major role in pathological oxidative stress and redox signaling. While there are tools to detect or decrease mitochondrial superoxide, none can rapidly and specifically increase superoxide production within the mitochondrial matrix. This lack impedes progress, making it challengi...
متن کاملMitochondria-targeted superoxide dismutase (SOD2) regulates radiation resistance and radiation stress response in HeLa cells.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as a mediator of ionizing radiation-induced cellular damage. Previous studies have indicated that MnSOD (SOD2) plays a critical role in protection against ionizing radiation in mammalian cells. In this study, we constructed two types of stable HeLa cell lines overexpressing SOD2, HeLa S3/SOD2 and T-REx HeLa/SOD2, to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the prote...
