The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the major compartment for the processing and quality control of newly synthesized proteins. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used as a noninvasive probe to determine the Viscous properties of the aqueous lumen of the ER, GFP was targeted to the ER lumen of CHO cells by transient transfection with cDNA encoding GFP (S65T/F64L mutant) with a C-terminus KDEL retention sequence and upstream prolactin secretory sequence. Repeated laser illumination of a fixed 2-mu m diameter spot resulted in complete bleaching of ER-associated GFP throughout the cell, indicating a continuous ER lumen. A residual amount (
