Article Abstract
We developed the fluorogenic SNAP probe BGAN-8C to monitor protein degradation. It exhibited a 6-fold fluorescence enhancement upon binding with SNAP-tag. After the SNAP protein is degraded, the fluorescence of the released probe is quenched due to aggregation. BGAN-8C was successfully employed to monitor the degradation of mODC in live cells, offering a new tool for studying protein dynamics.

SNAP-tag is a powerful tool for labeling proteins with synthetic fluorophores in bioimaging. However, its utility in live-cell applications can be constrained by its relatively slow labeling kinetics and the limited cell permeability of its substrates. Here, we introduce improved labeling substrates and an engineered SNAP-tag for faster labeling in vitro and in live cells.

Article Synopsis
- Naturally occurring fluorescent proteins (FPs) are essential for tracking cellular proteins and sensing biological events, but researchers have developed a new tool called SmFPs, which are enhanced versions of the SNAP-tag.
- SmFPs showcase a wide range of bright, quickly inducible fluorescence colors from cyan to infrared and are designed to improve on the performance of traditional FPs like GFP.
- These new SmFPs enable real-time monitoring of various cellular processes, including protein expression and interactions, and can be used to create genetically encoded calcium sensors for live cell imaging.

Fluorogenic probes for bioimaging have become essential tools for life science and medicine, and the key to their development is a precise understanding of the mechanisms available for fluorescence off/on control, such as photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Here we establish a new molecular design strategy to rationally develop activatable fluorescent probes, which exhibit a fluorescence off/on change in response to target biomolecules, by controlling the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) process. This approach was developed on the basis of a thorough investigation of the fluorescence quenching mechanism of -phenyl rhodamine dyes (commercially available as the QSY series) by means of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations and photophysical evaluation of their derivatives.

Self-labeling protein tags can introduce advanced molecular motifs to specific cellular proteins. Here we introduce the third-generation covalent TMP-tag (TMP-tag3) and showcase its comparison with HaloTag and SNAP-tag. TMP-tag3 is based on a proximity-induced covalent Michael addition between an engineered Cys of E.
