Cell-permeable near-infrared fluorogenic substrates for imaging beta-lactamase activity.
This communication describes a design of cell-permeable near-infrared fluorogenic substrates for imaging beta-lactamase expression in living mammalian cells. This design is based on fluorescence energy transfer resonance and utilizes a peracetylated d-glucosamine to facilitate the transport of the near-infrared probe across cell membranes. This new type of fluorogenic probe may also be applied ...
متن کاملNovel fluorogenic substrates for imaging beta-lactamase gene expression.
A new class of small nonfluorescent fluorogenic substrates becomes brightly fluorescent after beta-lactamase hydrolysis with up to 153-fold enhancement in the fluorescence intensity. Less than 500 fM of beta-lactamase in cell lysates can be readily detected, and beta-lactamase expression in living cells can be imaged with a red fluorescence derivative. These new fluorogenic substrates should fi...
متن کاملDEVD-NucView488: a novel class of enzyme substrates for real-time detection of caspase-3 activity in live cells.
Live-cell detection of intracellular enzyme activity requires that substrates are cell-permeable and that the generated products are easily detected and retained in cells. Our objective was to create a novel fluorogenic substrate that could be used for real-time detection of apoptosis in living cells. We have synthesized a highly cell-permeable caspase-3 substrate, DEVD-NucView488, by linking a...
متن کاملA covalent reporter of β-lactamase activity for fluorescent imaging and rapid screening of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics poses a great clinical challenge in fighting serious infectious diseases due to complicated resistant mechanisms and time-consuming testing methods. Chemical reaction-directed covalent labeling of resistance-associated bacterial proteins in the context of a complicated environment offers great opportunity for the in-depth understanding of the biological basis...
متن کاملAssessment of Caspase Activities in Intact Apoptotic Thymocytes Using Cell-Permeable Fluorogenic Caspase Substrates
To detect caspase activities in intact apoptotic cells at the single cell level, cell-permeable fluorogenic caspase substrates were synthesized incorporating the optimal peptide recognition motifs for caspases 1, 3/7, 6, 8, and 9. Caspase activities were then assessed at various times after in vitro treatment of mouse thymocytes with dexamethasone or anti-Fas antibody. Dexamethasone induced the...
