A FlAsH-based FRET approach to determine G protein-coupled receptor activation in living cells. Nat Meth 2 (2005) 171-176. GPCR-TC-CFP fusion proteins are functional receptors for ligand binding and downstream signaling. FlAsH labeling of these proteins allowed the detection of conformational changes on agonist or antagonist binding by intramolecular FRET between FlAsH and CFP.

S. cerevisiae displaying an ACP fusion of cell wall protein Sag1p were labeled by sequential incubation with AcpS and CoA-Cy3, CoA-Cy5 or CoA-fluorescein. Older and newer protein generations could thus be distinguished by their different fluorescent labels. Tri-color images reveal that the secretion of Sag1p is polarized according to sites of cell wall construction, and the wall dividing mother from daughter cells is the last structure formed before separation.
