Calcium indicators based on calmodulin-fluorescent protein fusions
摘要：
Calmodulin (CaM) is an ubiquitous protein involved in Ca2+-mediated signal transduction. On Ca2+ influx, CaM acquires a strong affinity to various cellular proteins with one or more CaM recognition sequences, resulting in the onset or termination of Ca2+-regulated cascades. Through nuclear magnetic resonance and crystallographic structural studies of these Ca2+-CaM complexes, we have gained a deep understanding of CaM target recognition mechanisms. One immediate application is the creation of protein-based Ca2+ sensors using CaM complexes and green fluorescent proteins, previously named "chameleon." The major advantage of chameleons is that they can be expressed in single cells and targeted to the specific organelles or tissues to measure localized Ca2+ changes. This chapter describes the methods involved in cloning chameleons, characterizing their biochemical and biophysical properties, and imaging them in single cells using a digital fluorescence microscope.
