This work demonstrates that although sugar levels measured in whole organs correlate with gene expression in some cases, this does not hold true when these analyses are performed at the single-cell level.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 99:2002;9846-9851 A prototype for a FRET-based nanosensor is developed on the basis of the periplasmic MBP. Maltose uptake into yeast cells is observed directly by FRET imaging.

J Biol Chem. 278:2003;19127-19133 The authors describe the development of FRET-based nanosensors that are based on bacterial periplasmic glucose-binding proteins and their application in determining glucose concentrations in living animal cells. The sensors identify free glucose in the cytosol and provide evidence that cytosolic glucose does not efflux from COS-7 cells.

FEBS Lett. 553:2003;85-89 This work confirms that FRET-based nanosensors can be constructed on the basis of a variety of different bacterial periplasmic binding proteins. In this case, the ribose-binding protein is to develop a sensor that is then used to determine ribose homeostasis in living animal cells.

Driven by the interest in determining cytosolic maltose levels in living yeast cells, Medintz and colleagues developed the first quantum dot FRET sensors for maltose by attaching the periplasmic maltose-binding protein to nanocrystals, and by measuring the FRET resulting from the displacement of a fluorescent cylodextrin derivate from the labeled MBP.
