Outline of Research at the Start

Quantification of cellular GTP as an important metabolite in cellular metabolism will provide us the information to comprehend the energy status of cells. Here, we aim to develop a single fluorescent protein (FP)-based fluorescence lifetime biosensor for quantitative imaging of intracellular GTP level with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), denoted as FLIM-GTP. Using FLIM-GTP, we aim to quantify the GTP level in different cell types between normal and cancer cells, and to investigate the regulation function of GTP and heat production in brown adipocytes.
