PhotoactivationPhotoactivation

(1) Kinetics –photorelease ligands from’caged’precursors at intracellular or extracellular receptors.

Overcomes diffusional barriers

-‘unstirred layers’ in isolated tissue or slices

-intracellular receptors and enzymes

(2) Spatially resolved kinetics - photorelease localised by point excitation or imaging of local responses with uniform excitation.

(3) Labelling and tracking

Photoactivation or photorelease of fluorophores for cell lineage studies

cytoskeletal rearrangements, organelle trafficking

(4) Compartmentalisation – diffusional exchange between compartments

PhotoactivationPhotoactivation

‘Caged’ amino acid neurotransmitters

Nitroindolinyl -L-glutamate (NI-glutamate)

•Chemically stable carboxyl group cage

•Efficient near-UV photolysis – Extinction 4300 M-1 cm-1, Q= 0.085

•near UV Flashlamp conversion MNI - glu~35%

•Fast dark reaction– half-time 0.2 μs

Physiological controls:

•Caged glutamate at 1mM does not activate or block AMPAR, NMDAR, mGluR, transporters.

•No effect of photolysis of NI-caged phosphate on cerebellar climbing fibre

transmission or short term plasticity.

However: NI-caged GABA and glycine are antagonists at respective receptors

• Ca2+ buffering by indicators and interaction with endogenous buffers– reducing indicator concentration to minimise its buffering capacity increases


• dye fluorescence saturation – use indicator with Kd which corresponds to concentration of Ca2+, too high Kd

(low affinity) gives bad signal-to-noise ratio

Photobleaching of indicatorsPhotobleaching of indicators

Useful for FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleching) technique

Light-induced change in a fluomophore, resulting in the loss of its absorption of light of a particular wave length.

• dye fluorescence saturation – use indicator with Kd which corresponds to concentration of Ca2+, too high Kd
