Moreover, the function of fluorophore-labeled fusion proteins could also be abolished with spatiotemporal control using fluorophore-assisted light inactivation.

Fluorophore-labeled fusion proteins were used for multicolor analysis of protein subpopulations and fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements.

12. 1 in HEK293 cells were covalently labeled with coenzyme A derivatives bearing cyanine fluorophores or a biotin affinity handle. The dependence of the labeling reaction on enzyme activity can also be exploited for exceptional spatial control of labeling by immobilizing the enzyme via genetic fusion.

Kinetic characterization of the labeling process and determination of the sensitivity of the method are also described.

Davis Synaptotagmin I is necessary for compensatory synaptic vesicle endocytosis in vivo Nature 426 2003 559 563 Fluorescein biarsenicals were used to label and photoinactivate tetracysteine-tagged Synaptotagmin I (Syt I) in living Drosophila. Thus, it was demonstrated that Syt I plays a role in synaptic vesicle endocytosis, in addition to its well-documented role in vesicle exocytosis. Direct testing of the in vivo role of Syt I specifically during synaptic vesicle endocytosis was made possible by the combination of site-specific protein labeling and fluorophore-assisted light inactivation.

Model crosslinking experiments with GST suggest that site-specific substitution with this unnatural amino acid could be used to map protein-protein interactions in vivo and to define the specific amino acids involved.
