Codon Optimization> | Nucleotide sequence for LSSmKate2, fused at the N-term to the polypeptide linker "ASGGGGGLVPRGSASGA", was codon-optimized for expression in mammalian cells using the OptimumGene algorithm (GenScript, Inc.), | Get A Quote |
Ion homeostasis regulates critical physiological processes in the living cell. Intracellular chloride concentration not only contributes in setting the membrane potential of quiescent cells but it also plays a role in modulating the dynamic voltage changes during network activity. Dynamic chloride imaging demands new tools, allowing faster acquisition rates and correct accounting of concomitant pH changes. Joining a long-Stokes-shift red-fluorescent protein to a GFP variant with high sensitivity to pH and chloride, we obtained LSSmClopHensor, a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor optimized for the simultaneous chloride and pH imaging and requiring only two excitation wavelengths (458 and 488 nm).
