Live FRET imaging of neurons from transgenic rats revealed perturbed ‘lipid-MERCs’ (gap width <10 nm), while ‘Ca 2+ -MERCs’ (10–20 nm gap width) were unchanged. In situ TEM showed no significant...

...Sonal Prasad; Evgeni Ponimaskin; Andre Zeug ABSTRACT Protein–protein interaction is often investigated using quantitative molecular microscopy with Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET). Here, we combined ‘linear unmixing FRET’ (lux-FRET) with the simultaneous application of a FRET-based...

We corroborated this interaction by performing Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in HEK293 cells and co-immunoprecipitation in HEK293 cells and native cardiac tissue. TRIOBP-1 overexpression reduced hERG surface expression and current density, whereas...

... a newly developed FRET sensor. A combination of a Rab7 sensor and confocal FRET imaging techniques revealed that the activation of Rab7 on late endosomes depends on Mon1–Ccz1 and is implicated in late-endosome–lysosome fusion. In contrast, Rab7 activity on lysosomes was independent of Mon1–Ccz1 and active...

.... Nevertheless, the dynamics of phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP 3 ) and the regulation of its synthesis and degradation at synaptic compartments is far from clear. Here, we have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging to monitor changes in PIP 3 levels in dendritic spines from...
