A Targetable Fluorescent Sensor Reveals That Copper-Deficient <i>SCO1</i> and <i>SCO2</i> Patient Cells Prioritize Mitochondrial Copper Homeostasis
12 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
We present the design, synthesis, spectroscopy, and biological applications of Mitochondrial Coppersensor-1 (Mito-CS1), a new type of targetable fluorescent sensor for imaging exchangeable mitochondrial copper pools in living cells. Mito-CS1 is a bifunctional reporter that combines a Cu(+)-responsive fluorescent platform with a mitochondrial-targeting triphenylphosphonium moiety for localizing the probe to this...
