Changing Times: Fluorescence-lifetime Analysis of Amyloidogenic SF-IAPP Fusion Protein
Keyword(s):
AbstractThe fluorescence lifetime of the superfolder green fluorescent protein (SF) and the SF protein fused with islet amyloid polypeptide (SF-IAPP) were studied in polyacrylamide gel. It was shown that the SF average fluorescence lifetime under these conditions slightly differs from that of the SF-IAPP monomer. SF-IAPP does not lose the ability to form amyloid-like fibrils; meanwhile, the average fluorescence lifetime of the fusion protein in fibrils is reduced. We propose the application of Fluorescent-lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) to the measurement of average fluorescence lifetimes of fusion proteins (amyloidogenic protein–SF) in the context of studies using cellular models of conformational diseases.
