Journal ArticleDOI
Improved monomeric red, orange and yellow fluorescent proteins derived from Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein.
Nathan C. Shaner,Robert E. Campbell,Robert E. Campbell,Paul Steinbach,Ben N G Giepmans,Amy E. Palmer,Roger Y. Tsien +6 more
TL;DR: The latest red version matures more completely, is more tolerant of N-terminal fusions and is over tenfold more photostable than mRFP1, and three monomers with distinguishable hues from yellow-orange to red-orange have higher quantum efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fluorescent toolbox for assessing protein location and function
TL;DR: The focus is on protein detection in live versus fixed cells: determination of protein expression, localization, activity state, and the possibility for combination of fluorescent light microscopy with electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ins and outs of lysophosphatidic acid signaling
TL;DR: Recent progress in the understanding of LPA bioactivity, signaling and synthesis is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gap junction protein connexin43 interacts with the second PDZ domain of the zona occludens-1 protein
TL;DR: A yeast two-hybrid protein interaction screen was used to identify proteins that bind to the carboxy-terminal tail of Cx43 and thereby isolated the zona occludens-1 (ZO-1) protein, which it is suggested serves to recruit signalling proteins into Cx 43-based gap junctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gap junctions and connexin-interacting proteins
TL;DR: The striking similarity of proteins present at the cytoplasmic face of tight junctions, adherens junctions and gap junications and their possible role in gene transcription and cytoskeletal anchorage is highlighted.
