[Abstract]  mRNA Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is a technique commonly used to profile the distribution of transcripts in cells. When combined with the common single molecule technique Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), FISH can also be used to profile the co-expression of nearby sequences in the transcript to measure processes such as alternate initiation or splicing variation of the transcript. Unlike in a conventional FISH method using multiple probes to target a single transcript, FRET is limited to the use of two probes labeled with matched dyes and requires the use of sensitized emission. Any widefield microscope capable of sensitive single molecule detection of Cy3 and Cy5 should be able to measure FRET in yeast cells. Alternatively, a FRET-FISH method can be ... [摘要]  mRNA荧光原位杂交(FISH)是一种常用于分析细胞中转录物分布的技术。 当与常见的单分子技术荧光共振能量转移(FRET)相结合时,FISH也可用于分析转录本中附近序列的共表达以测量转录本的替代启动或剪接变异等过程。 与使用多个探针靶向单个转录物的常规FISH方法不同,FRET限于使用用匹配染料标记的两个探针,并且需要使用敏化发射。 任何能够灵敏地检测Cy3和Cy5单分子的宽视场显微镜应该能够测量酵母细胞中的FRET。 或者,可以使用FRET-FISH方法明确确定转录本的身份,而不使用其他FISH技术中使用的引导探针组。

【背景】单细胞转录物分布的定量通常通过用多个探针靶向mRNA来实现,以实现可以与非特异性结合的探针区分开的明亮信号(Raj和Tyagi,2010)。但是,在某些情况下,转录本上有特征,例如剪接变体或替代起始位点,这与常规FISH探针组无法区分。这些同种型序列可以具有短的50nt唯一识别序列。使用两种探针,可以使用FRET对定位结合的任一侧,同时定量多达三种mRNA同种型,例如,具有两种探针的同种型(FRET),具有探针1的同种型仅限于探针2的同种型。依赖于单个荧光团或荧光团对需要通过EMCCD进行灵敏检测。而且,可以使用FRET对(Wadsworth等人,2017)来估计没有其他同种型的序列的探针的检测效率。
