Oxygen-induced chromophore degradation in the photoswitchable red fluorescent protein rsCherry

T. Y. H. Bui, E. De Zitter, B. Moeyaert, L. Pecqueur, B. Y. Srinivasu, A. Economou, M. Fontecave, L. Van Meervelt, P. Dedecker, B. Pedre

The paper investigates oxygen-induced chromophore degradation in rsCherry, identifying cleavage of the p-hydroxyphenyl ring and formation of cyclic structures as the cause of fluorescence loss.

Oligomerization processes limit photoactivation and recovery of the Orange Carotenoid Protein.

E. A. Andreeva, S. Nizinski, A. Wilson, M. Levantino, E. De Zitter, R. Munro, F. Muzzopappa, A. Thureau, N. Zala, G. Burdzinski, M. Sliwa, D. Kirilovsky, G. Schiro, J.-P. Colletier

This study investigates the role of oligomerization in the photoactivation and recovery of the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) using X-ray scattering and optical spectroscopy, revealing that oligomerization regulates its photocycle and slows thermal recovery.

Mechanistic investigation of mEos4b reveals a strategy to reduce track interruptions in sptPALM

E. De Zitter, D. Thedie, V. Monkemoller, S. Hugelier, J. Beaudouin, V. Adam, M. Byrdin, L. Van Meervelt, P. Dedecker, D. Bourgeois

This paper identifies a long-lived dark state in mEos4b that disrupts sptPALM tracks and shows that 488-nm light can revert it, improving track length and reducing interruptions.
