研究目的
Investigating the suitability of fusion proteins for use in studies examining fibril formation in living cells using Fluorescent-Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM).
研究成果
The study concludes that FLIM is suitable for detecting intracellular fibril formation and for screening agents that prevent IAPP fibrillogenesis, with SF-IAPP serving as a suitable model for studying intracellular IAPP aggregation.
研究不足
The study is limited by the sensitivity of fluorescence lifetime measurements to external conditions and the need for electrophoretic separation to study proteins in the same environment.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used fluorescence lifetime measurement technique with green fluorescent protein fused with target protein.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Recombinant proteins were produced in E. coli and analyzed using mass spectrometry for primary structure and post-translational modifications identification.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Fluorescent-Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) was used for studying the fluorescence lifetime of the superfolder green fluorescent protein (SF) and the SF protein fused with islet amyloid polypeptide (SF-IAPP) in polyacrylamide gel.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Proteins were separated by electrophoresis under native conditions, and their fluorescence lifetimes were measured in polyacrylamide gel.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data obtained was subjected to fluorescence time analysis in the range of 1.0-12.0 ns, and the spectra were analyzed using Origin2015 software.
