Semisynthetic fluorescent pH sensors for imaging exocytosis and endocytosis
Existing pH-sensitive red fluorescent protein probes don’t perform well in monitoring exocytosis and endocytosis. Here, the authors combine organic dyes with self-labeling tags or antibodies to develop semisynthetic protein conjugates that can image synaptic vesicle fusion events in living cells.
