ROZA-XL, an improved FRET based biosensor with an increased dynamic range for visualizing zeta associated protein 70 kD (ZAP-70) tyrosine kinase activity in live T cells.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2015 April 11
Genetically encoded FRET based biosensors allow one to visualize the spatial and temporal evolution of specific enzyme activities in live cells. We have previously reported the creation of a FRET based biosensor specific for Zeta-Associated Protein -70 kD (ZAP-70) (Randriamampita et al., 2008), a Syk family protein tyrosine kinase. ZAP-70 is essential for early T cell receptor (TCR) signaling events, T lymphocyte development and has also been implicated in integrin mediated T lymphocyte migration. In order to facilitate the study of ZAP-70 kinase activity during dynamic phenomena such as immunological synapse formation or cell migration, we have designed and prepared a second generation of ZAP-70 specific biosensors. Here we describe a novel biosensor named ROZA-XL, that displays a 3-4 times greater dynamic range than its predecessor and possesses a robust baseline FRET value when expressed in the Jurkat human T cell line. We demonstrate that the robust behavior of this biosensor allows for rapid analysis of TCR mediated of ZAP-70 kinase activity at a single cell level, as shown in a simple end point assay in which ROZA-XL expressing cells are allowed to interact with stimulatory anti-CD3epsilon coated coverslips.
