FRET

An interaction is inferred when close proximity of interaction partners is detected by fluorescence resonance energy transfer between pairs of fluorophore-labeled molecules, such as occurs between CFP (donor) and YFP (acceptor) fusion proteins.

Confocal fluorescence microscopy study of interaction between lens MIP26/AQP0 and crystallins in living cells.

Liu BF, Liang JJ

MIP26/AQP0 is the major lens fiber membrane protein and has been reported to interact with many other lens components including crystallins, lipid, and cytoskeletal proteins. Regarding crystallins, many previous reports indicate that MIP26/AQP0 interacts with either only alpha-crystallin or some specific gamma-crystallins. Considering the possibly important role of MIP26/AQP0 in the reduction of light scattering in the lenses, we have ... [more]
