Fluorescence Lifetime Multiplexing with Fluorogen-Activating FAST Protein Variants and Red-Shifted Arylidene–Imidazolone Derivative as Fluorogen

Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique for highly multiplexed imaging in live cells. In this work, we present a genetically encoded FLIM multiplexing platform based on a combination of fluorogen-activating protein FAST and red-shifted fluorogen <b>N871b</b&g...

description Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique for highly multiplexed imaging in live cells. In this work, we present a genetically encoded FLIM multiplexing platform based on a combination of fluorogen-activating protein FAST and red-shifted fluorogen <b>N871b</b> from the arylidene–imidazolone family. We showed that a series of FAST protein mutants exhibit similar steady-state optical properties in complex with <b>N871b</b> fluorogen but have different fluorescence lifetimes. The similar brightness and binding strength of pairs of these FAST protein variants with <b>N871b</b> allows them to be successfully used for multiplexing up to three intracellular structures of living cells simultaneously.
