| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy currency for living organisms. Therefore, we are able to clarify the mechanism of energy metabolism by visualizing ATP dynamics in the living cells. To achieve this objective, we developed a genetically-encoded fluorescent indicator for ATP. These indicators are single-fluorescent protein (FP) based, therefore change their intensity respond to ATP. We employed a green FP variant, Citrine as transmitter domain and a subunit of ATP-binding region on the bacterial FoF1-ATP synthase as sensing domain. Likewise, we employed blue FP and mApple to develop blue or red emitted indicators, respectively. Based on these indicators, we have monitored ATP dynamics in living cells by multi-color imaging.
