The Role of the 145 Residue in Photochemical Properties of the Biphotochromic Protein mSAASoti: Brightness versus Photoconversion

Photoswitchable fluorescent proteins (FPs) have become indispensable tools for studying life sciences. mSAASoti FP, a biphotochromic FP, is an important representative of this protein family. We created a series of mSAASoti mutants in order to obtain fast photoswitchable variants with high brightnes...

description Photoswitchable fluorescent proteins (FPs) have become indispensable tools for studying life sciences. mSAASoti FP, a biphotochromic FP, is an important representative of this protein family. We created a series of mSAASoti mutants in order to obtain fast photoswitchable variants with high brightness. K145P mSAASoti has the highest molar extinction coefficient of all SAASoti mutants studied; C21N/K145P/M163A switches to the dark state 36 times faster than mSAASoti, but it lost its ability to undergo green-to-red photoconversion. Finally, the C21N/K145P/F177S and C21N/K145P/M163A/F177S variants demonstrated a high photoswitching rate between both green and red forms.
