Depositor Comments

Biosensor iGluSnFRa is a single-wavelength glutamate sensor constructed from E. coli GltI and cpGFP. iGluSnFR is bright and photostable, with 4.5 (ΔF/F)max in vitro, under both 1- and 2-photon illumination.

pRSET.GltI253-cpGFP.L1LV/L2NP was constructed by subcloning the gene for E. coli glutamate-binding protein (gltI) from a previous glutamate sensor, FLIP-E (Okumoto, et al. 2005, PNAS, PMID: 15939876), into the pRSET-A vector (Invitrogen) with a BamHI site encoding Gly-Ser at the 5’-end and an EcoRI site included after the stop codon. The GltI-cpGFP insertion variants were constructed by overlap PCR using the wild-type gltI sequence and the cpGFP146 variant from EcMBP165-cpGFP.PPYF.pRSET (Addgene plasmid #33372). The linker was selected by high-throughput screening of site-directed mutagenesis-generated linker variants. Detailed amino acid sequences are provided in the supplementary documents available above. More information on senor engineering and characterization can be found in the associated article (see below).
