| Shrnutí: | GCaMP, one popular type of genetically-encoded Ca
2+
indicator, has been associated with various side-effects. Here we unveil the intrinsic problem prevailing over different versions and applications, showing that GCaMP containing CaM (calmodulin) interferes with both gating and signaling of L-type calcium channels (Ca
V
1). GCaMP acts as an impaired apoCaM and Ca
2+
/CaM, both critical to Ca
V
1, which disrupts Ca
2+
dynamics and gene expression. We then design and implement GCaMP-X, by incorporating an extra apoCaM-binding motif, effectively protecting Ca
V
1-dependent excitation–transcription coupling from perturbations. GCaMP-X resolves the problems of detrimental nuclear accumulation, acute and chronic Ca
2+
dysregulation, and aberrant transcription signaling and cell morphogenesis, while still demonstrating excellent Ca
2+
-sensing characteristics partly inherited from GCaMP. In summary, CaM/Ca
V
1 gating and signaling mechanisms are elucidated for GCaMP side-effects, while allowing the development of GCaMP-X to appropriately monitor cytosolic, submembrane or nuclear Ca
2+
, which is also expected to guide the future design of CaM-based molecular tools.
The popular genetically-encoded Ca
2+
indicator, GCaMP, has several side-effects. Here the authors show that GCaMP containing CaM interferes with gating and signaling of L-type calcium channels, which disrupts Ca
2+
dynamics and gene expression, and develop GCaMP-X to overcome these limitations. |
