A method for fixing and paraffin embedding tissue to retain the natural fluorescence of reporter proteins

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2017
Protocol Summary Here we present an ethanol fixation protocol that allows for the direct visualization of the natural fluorescence of reporter proteins while maintaining excellent tissue histology.

Photooxidation-guided ultrastructural identification and analysis of cells in neuronal tissue labeled with green fluorescent protein. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The ultrastructural characterization of neuronal compartments in intact tissue labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) remains a frequently encountered challenge, despite work establishing photooxidation of GFP in cultured cells.

Bright Green Biofluorescence in Sharks Derives from Bromo-Kynurenine Metabolism

open access: yesiScience, 2019
Summary: Although in recent years there has been an increased awareness of the widespread nature of biofluorescence in the marine environment, the diversity of the molecules responsible for this luminescent phenotype has been mostly limited to green ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

A family of GFP-like proteins with different spectral properties in lancelet Branchiostoma floridae

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2008
Background Members of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family share sequence similarity and the 11-stranded β-barrel fold. Fluorescence or bright coloration, observed in many members of this family, is enabled by the intrinsic properties of the ...

Green fluorescent protein: A perspective [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Science, 2011
AbstractA brief personal perspective is provided for green fluorescent protein (GFP), covering the period 1994–2011. The topics discussed are primarily those in which my research group has made a contribution and include structure and function of the GFP polypeptide, the mechanism of fluorescence emission, excited state protein transfer, the design of ...

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Sea as a color palette: the ecology and evolution of fluorescence

open access: yesZoological Letters, 2020
Fluorescence and luminescence are widespread optical phenomena exhibited by organisms living in terrestrial and aquatic environments. While many underlying mechanistic features have been identified and characterized at the molecular and cellular levels ...

Green Fluorescent Protein Glows Gold [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2008
The awarding of this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie, and Roger Tsien for their discovery and development of green fluorescent protein earns this humble jellyfish protein a place of honor in the biology research hall of fame.

Green‐fluorescent protein mutants with altered fluorescence excitation spectra [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1995
Using random mutagenesis and visual selection of fluorescent clones, we have isolated a T2031 and a E222G mutant of the Aequorea green‐fluorescent protein. Each mutant has one of the two fluorescence excitation bands of the wild type deleted and retains the other without a wavelength shift.
