摘要:
Disclosed are fusion proteins comprising two detection portions and a periplasmic binding protein (PBP) portion between this two detection portions which undergoes a conformational change upon binding of a compound. Also described are nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding such a fusion protein as well as expression cassettes, vectors, transgenic plants and transgenic non-human animals comprising said nucleic acid molecules. In addition, described are methods for detecting an analyte in a sample or in a cell using said fusion protein, and optionally, a control sensor allowing a calibration of analyte detection made by said fusion protein. Also described are such control sensors and nucleic acid molecules encoding them, as well as diagnostic compositions, kits and uses of the fusion protein and the control sensor for in vitro or in vivo analyte detection and preparing a diagnostic composition.
摘要:
A novel class of transporter protein, referred to as SWEET, GLUE or Glü, is disclosed. These transporters provide a novel system for the transportation of sugars across membranes within a cell and between the inside and outside of a cell. Such transporters are useful for understanding and altering the sugar concentration within certain organs of an organism, and within certain organelles within the cell. These transporters are also useful in protecting plants from a pathogen attack.
摘要:
Phosphate biosensors are disclosed, which comprise a phosphate binding domain conjugated to donor and fluorescent moieties that permit detection and measurement of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer upon phosphate binding. Such biosensors are useful for real time monitoring of phosphate metabolism in living cells.

Polyamine biosensors are disclosed, including putrescine binding biosensors, comprising a polyamine binding domain conjugated to donor and fluorescent moieties that permit detection and measurement of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer upon binding polyamine. Such biosensors are useful for the detection of polyamine concentrations in vivo and in culture.
