荧光蛋白作为蛋白质标签、基因表达报告、生物传感器成分和细胞谱系示踪剂已成为生物医学研究的宝贵工具。然而,由于血红蛋白的吸收,组织对600 nm以下的激发光不透明,限制了荧光蛋白在整个哺乳动物深部组织成像中的应用。因此,在600纳米以上的“光学窗口”中有效激发的荧光蛋白是非常可取的。我们在这里报告了远红色荧光蛋白在600 nm或以上的峰值激发的演变。其中最亮的一颗,海王星,在活体老鼠的深层组织成像方面表现良好。海王星的晶体结构揭示了一种新的红移机制,涉及与发色团的酰基胺区域获得新的氢键。
Fluorescent proteins have become valuable tools for biomedical research as protein tags, reporters of gene expression, biosensor components, and cell lineage tracers. However, applications of fluorescent proteins for deep tissue imaging in whole mammals have been constrained by the opacity of tissues to excitation light below 600 nm, due to absorbance by hemoglobin. Fluorescent proteins that excite efficiently in the “optical window” above 600 nm are therefore highly desirable. We report here the evolution of far-red fluorescent proteins with peak excitation at 600 nm or above. The brightest one of these, Neptune, performs well in imaging deep tissues in living mice. The crystal structure of Neptune reveals a novel mechanism for red-shifting involving the acquisition of a new hydrogen bond with the acylimine region of the chromophore.
