Plasma membrane sheets fromXenopusoocytes have been isolated for use in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements. This system has the following advantages:1) fluorescent recordings from a large surface area to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio,2) reduction in background fluorescence from proteins retained in intracellular compartments, and3) access to the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane for rapid solution changes. To demonstrate the utility of this approach, we have examined a previously published FRET-based Ca2+sensor, namely, the Cameleon-PM. This construct targets to the plasma membrane and, upon various Ca2+additions to the cytoplasmic face of the membrane, shows ratiometric FRET changes. From the ratiometric changes recorded, an apparent Ca2+affinity of 1.65 μM was determined. Thus preparation ofXenopusoocyte plasma membrane sheets and FRET measurements demonstrates all three of the advantages outlined above.
