Fluorescent labeling of COS-7 expressing SNAP-tag fusion proteins for live cell imaging.
SNAP-tag and CLIP-tag protein labeling systems enable the specific, covalent attachment of molecules, including fluorescent dyes, to a protein of interest in live cells. These systems offer a broad selection of fluorescent substrates optimized for a range of imaging instrumentation. Once cloned and expressed, the tagged protein can be used with a variety of substrates for numerous downstream ap...
متن کاملReleasable SNAP-tag Probes for Studying Endocytosis and Recycling
Site-specific labeling of cellular proteins with chemical probes is a powerful tool for live cell imaging of biological processes. One popular system, known as the SNAP-tag, is based on an engineered variant of the 20-kDa DNA repair protein O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (AGT) that covalently reacts with O(6)-benzylguanine (BG) and can be derivatized with a number of reporter groups. Fo...
متن کاملA SNAP-Tagged Derivative of HIV-1—A Versatile Tool to Study Virus-Cell Interactions
Fluorescently labeled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) derivatives, combined with the use of advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques, allow the direct visualization of dynamic events and individual steps in the viral life cycle. HIV proteins tagged with fluorescent proteins (FPs) have been successfully used for live-cell imaging analyses of HIV-cell interactions. However, FPs display limi...
متن کاملDevelopment of SNAP-Tag Fluorogenic Probes for Wash-Free Fluorescence Imaging
The ability to specifically attach chemical probes to individual proteins represents a powerful approach to the study and manipulation of protein function in living cells. It provides a simple, robust and versatile approach to the imaging of fusion proteins in a wide range of experimental settings. However, a potential drawback of detection using chemical probes is the fluorescence background f...
متن کاملUse of the Nanofitin Alternative Scaffold as a GFP-Ready Fusion Tag
With the continuous diversification of recombinant DNA technologies, the possibilities for new tailor-made protein engineering have extended on an on-going basis. Among these strategies, the use of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a fusion domain has been widely adopted for cellular imaging and protein localization. Following the lead of the direct head-to-tail fusion of GFP, we proposed ...
