1st, experimental procedure:
DsFRET imaging devices and 3cube-FRET imaging devices shown in Fig. 2 are utilized respectively, in two hybridization experiments ICDI albumen and PreIQ3-IQD-AD albumen are detected, and analyze the interactively of above two albumen.
2nd, experimental result:As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, each independent open circles and solid dot are represented with biography experimental result respectively The one of the coexpression Dronpa-ICDIF and rsTagRFP-PreIQ3-IQD-AD that system 3-cube FRET and dsFRET method are calculated The FR values of individual single mammalian cell HEK293T.
FR is calculated to Dfree and Ab with two methods of dsFRET and 3-cube FRET respectively, wherein, Dfree represents true Free donor concentrations, Ab represents the binding curve of true bind receptor concentration, binding curve, as a result as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, Compared to 3-cube FRET computational methods, more preferably, the Kd values for obtaining are higher, closer for dsFRET computational methods fitting result The FR values of Dimer.In the binding curve figure with Dfree, the relative residual error difference of the FR values fitting that two methods are calculated It is 0.32 and 0.20, from the point of view of residual error, the stability of dsFRET methods is better than traditional 3-cube FRET methods.
To four cells in the visual field of a wide field, calculate what Fig. 6 was measured with two methods of dsFRET and 3-cube FRET The 3-dimensional figure (reservation sign) of the difference (residual error) of the match value that FR values are combined with it to Dfree, as a result as shown in Figure 10, Figure 11, 20 × 20 equalization processing has been carried out to image.Contrast dsFRET (Figure 10) and 3-cube FRET (Figure 11) two methods, can To see, the value more stable homogeneous being calculated with dsFRET are more nearly match value, and FR values and the fitting of different cells are tied Fruit difference is little.And the value being calculated with 3-cube FRET is then not sufficiently stable, part cell has larger relative to match value Difference.And the two cells are the experiments for having transfected same plasmid, having been carried out under same environment, its FR theoretical value should be identical 's.It is therefore contemplated that dsFRET methods are accurately calculated compared to 3-cube FRET methods, stablize, to different conditions Cell has more universality, can more embody the interphase interaction situation of real albumen.
One cell interior fluorescence is detected using the dsFRET imaging devices shown in Fig. 2, as a result such as Figure 12-14 institutes Show.In Fig. 10, when the figure in the figure in the upper left corner and the upper right corner is respectively Dronpa passages figure, the Dronpa passes when rsTagRFP is closed RsTagRFP passage figures.The figure in the lower left corner and the figure in the lower right corner are respectively that 3-cube FRET and dsFRET schemes.From 3-cube It is high-visible in FRET figures, kytoplasm FRs of the FR higher than cell on the film of the cell.Actually rsTagRFP-Dronpa does not have Any film targeting, this can be proved by two above figures.Therefore, the result of calculation of 3-cube FRET brings illusion.And review DsFRET results, we are not observed similar phenomenon.Then, to having done track line analysis at red line in Figure 12, as a result such as Shown in Figure 13.Trajectory is 8 results of rolling average.In the statistics of Figure 14, the average value at cell membrane is rail 12 maximum average values of continuous image vegetarian refreshments of average value in 20 pixels wider at cell membrane on trace;And at cytoplasm Average value be in trajectory at cytoplasm 37 to 141 wait continuous image vegetarian refreshments average value.The above results show, To intracellular protein, situation is detected dsFRET methods respectively, and accuracy as a result is high, can more really react subcellular fraction FRET phenomenons under level.
In sum, dsFRET imaging methods of the invention are compared with 3cube FRET imaging methods, and the dynamic of imaging is empty Between it is big, and using parameter in situ, therefore, fluorescent quantitation measurement effect is good and stably, without control group, and to cytotoxic Property, can Continuous Observation, it is adaptable to various experiment demands.
Embodiment 3 (subcellsular level cell imaging)
DsFRET provides a kind of means of FRET subcellular fractions imaging, using dsFRET methods, using shown in Fig. 2 DsFRET imaging devices, detect to HEK293T cells, as a result as shown in Figure 15, Figure 16, in fig .15, its first row generation Dronpa passage figure of the table cell when rsTagRFP is in off status;Secondary series represents cell when Dronpa is in off status RsTagRFP passage figures;3rd row represent dsFRET FR subcellsular level distribution maps.In figure 16, the FR at cell membrane takes From three average values of continuous image vegetarian refreshments of maximum average value at cell membrane in a trajectory of cell;FR at cytoplasm takes from Tens average values of pixel at cytoplasm in the same trajectory of cell.All experimental procedures are consistent with step before, in meter When calculating FRET values, by the way of pointwise rather than mean value computation.Thus, intracellular original can be based on using dsFRET imaging devices Position parameter realizes that FRET is quantified, and the intracellular for obtaining FRET efficiency is scattered in picture.
