We have visualized redox and structural changes in the mitochondria of yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiaeas a eukaryotic cell model using a genetically encoded yellow fluorescent protein (Y1-Yellow) and conventional fluorescence microscopy. Y1-Yellow originating from a yellow emitting luminous bacteriumAliivibrio sifiaeY1 was fused with a mitochondria-targeted sequence (mt-sequence). Y1-Yellow fluorescence arising only from the mitochondrial site and the color of yellow fluorescence could be easily differentiated from cellular autofluorescence and from that of conventional probes. Y1-Yellow expressingS. cerevisiaemade the yellow fluorescence conspicuous at the mitochondrial site in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) transiently derived in the wake of pretreatment with hydrogen peroxide. Based on our observation with Y1-Yellow fluorescence, we also showed that mitochondria rearrange to form a cluster structure surrounding chromosomal DNA via respiratory inhibition by cyanide, followed by the generation of ROS. In contrast, uptake of an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation is not responsible for mitochondrial rearrangement. These results indicate the utility of Y1-Yellow for visualization of mitochondrial vitality and morphology in living cells.
