uncaging of receptor agonists or intracellular Ca2+
Photoactivation
(1) Kinetics –photorelease ligands from’caged’precursors at
intracellular or extracellular receptors.
Overcomes diffusional barriers
-‘unstirred layers’ in isolated tissue or slices
-intracellular receptors and enzymes
(2) Spatially resolved kinetics - photorelease localised by point excitation
or imaging of local responses with uniform excitation.
(3) Labelling and tracking
Photoactivation or photorelease of fluorophores for cell lineage studies
cytoskeletal rearrangements, organelle trafficking
(4) Compartmentalisation – diffusional exchange between compartments
Photoactivation
‘Caged’ amino acid neurotransmitters
Nitroindolinyl -L-glutamate (NI-glutamate)
4-methoxynitroindolinyl-L-glutamate (MNI-glutamate)
•Chemically stable carboxyl group cage
•Efficient near-UV photolysis – Extinction 4300 M-1 cm-1, Q= 0.085
•near UV Flashlamp conversion MNI - glu~35%
•Fast dark reaction– half-time 0.2 μs
Physiological controls:
•Caged glutamate at 1mM does not activate or block AMPAR, NMDAR, mGluR, transporters.
•No effect of photolysis of NI-caged phosphate on cerebellar climbing fibre
transmission or short term plasticity.
However: NI-caged GABA and glycine are antagonists at respective receptors
Use of two-scanner system for simultaneous
imaging and uncaging

Voltage clamp, 2P imaging and 1P uncaging
Specificity of 1P uncaging
Works only with superficial cells. For deep cells 2P uncaging is required.

where: [Ca2+]T –total Ca2+, [BCa2+] - Ca2+ bound to endogenous
buffers
[dyeCa2+] - Ca2+ bound to dye molecules
KB and Kdye – Ca2+ binding ratios
Yasuda et al., Sci. STKE, 2004
reducing indicator concentration to minimise its buffering capacity increases
signal-to-noise ratio
Problems with imaging
•
Ca2+ buffering by indicators and interaction with endogenous buffers
– reducing indicator concentration to minimise its buffering capacity increases
signal-to-noise ratio
•
dye fluorescence saturation
– use indicator with Kd which corresponds to concentration of Ca2+, too high
Kd (low affinity) gives bad signal-to-noise ratio
Photobleaching of indicators
Light-induced change in
a fluomophore,
resulting in the loss of
its absorption of light of
a particular wave
length.
Useful for FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleching) technique

•
dye fluorescence saturation
– use indicator with Kd which corresponds to concentration of Ca2+, too high
Kd (low affinity) gives bad signal-to-noise ratio
•
photobleaching of indicator
– reduce intensity of laser light and exposure
– use Ca2+ indicators with lower photobleaching rate
– use ratiometric dyes
