This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We have developed a spectroscopic approach for monitoring fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in living cells. This method provides excellent spectral separation of GFP mutant signals within a subcellular imaging volume using two-photon excited fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy (TPIS-FRET). In contrast to current FRET-based methodologies, TPIS-FRET does not rely on the selection of optical filters, ratiometric image analysis, or bleedthrough correction algorithms. Inherent to the optical sectioning capabilities of TPIS-FRET, protein-protein interactions can be identified within discrete subcellular domains. To illustrate the applicability of this technique to the detection of homodimer formation, we demonstrated the in vivo association of promyleocyte (PML) homodimers within their corresponding nuclear body.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。我们已经开发了一种光谱方法用于监测活细胞中的荧光共振能量转移（FRET）。该方法使用双光子激发荧光成像和光谱学（TPIS-FRET）在亚细胞成像体积内提供GFP突变体信号的优异光谱分离。与目前基于FRET的方法相比，TPIS-FRET不依赖于滤光片的选择、比率图像分析或渗漏校正算法。TPIS-FRET固有的光学切片能力，蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用可以在离散的亚细胞结构域内鉴定。为了说明这种技术的适用性，以检测同型二聚体的形成，我们证明了在体内协会的早幼粒细胞（PML）同型二聚体内相应的核体。
