Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Cellular Imaging

Background:

  • Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a powerful technique for quantifying protein interactions.
  • Sensitized emission FRET (seFRET) is particularly robust for live-cell imaging, offering insights into interaction strength and stoichiometry.
  • Accurate seFRET quantification requires careful calibration, specific constructs, controlled hardware settings, and appropriate image processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a rigorous protocol for quantitative sensitized emission FRET (seFRET) measurements in live cells.
  • To maximize information content from seFRET experiments, including interaction strength and stoichiometry.
  • To provide a detailed, adaptable protocol for seFRET using CFP/YFP fluorophores and a free automated calibration software.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed protocol for quantitative seFRET measurements in live cells.
  • Utilizes sensitized emission FRET (seFRET) with CFP (cyan fluorescence protein) as donor and YFP (yellow fluorescent protein) as acceptor.
  • Includes guidance for adapting the protocol to other FRET fluorophore pairs and provides a free downloadable software for automated calibration.

Main Results:

  • A rigorous and quantitative method for seFRET measurements in live cells is established.
  • The protocol provides maximum information content regarding protein interactions, including strength and stoichiometry.
  • The method is validated and demonstrated for kinetic analysis of protein interactions.

Conclusions:

  • The presented protocol enables robust and quantitative seFRET measurements for analyzing live-cell protein interactions.
  • The accompanying software simplifies calibration, making advanced seFRET analysis more accessible.
  • This method significantly enhances the utility of FRET in molecular biology research.
