Determining protein‐protein interactions is vital for gaining knowledge on cellular and metabolic processes including enzyme complexes and metabolons. Förster resonance energy transfer with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FRET‐FLIM) is an advanced imaging methodology that allows for the quantitative detection of protein‐protein interactions. In this method, proteins of interest for interaction studies are fused to different fluorophores such as enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP; donor molecule) and monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP; acceptor molecule). Energy transfer between the two fluorophore groups can only occur efficiently when the proteins of interest are in close physical proximity, around ≤10 nm, and therefore are most likely interacting. FRET‐FLIM measures the decrease in excited‐state lifetime of the donor fluorophore (eGFP) with and without the presence of the acceptor (mRFP) and can therefore give information on protein‐protein interactions and the membrane topology of the tested protein. Here we describe the production of fluorescent protein fusions for FRET‐FLIM analysis in tobacco leaf epidermal cells usingAgrobacterium‐mediated plant transformation and a FRET‐FLIM data acquisition and analysis protocol in plant cells. These protocols are applicable and can be adapted for both membrane and soluble proteins in different cellular localizations. © 2022 The Authors.
