Most commonly employed strategies to map kinase activities in live cells require expression of genetically-encoded proteins (e.g. FRET sensors). In this work, we describe development and preliminary application of a set of cell-penetrating, fluorophore labelled peptide substrates for fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of Abl and Src-family kinase activities. These probes do not rely on FRET pairs or genetically-encoded protein expression. We also demonstrate image-by-image and pixel-by-pixel quantification of probe phosphorylation ratio, suggesting that this strategy will be useful for detailed mapping of single cell and subcellular kinase activity in live cells.

AbstractChanges in chromatin compaction are crucial during genomic responses. Thus, methods that enable such measurements are instrumental for investigating genome function. Here, we address this challenge by developing, validating, and streamlining histone-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) that robustly detects chromatin compaction states in fixed and live cells; in 2D and 3D. We present quality-controlled and detailed method that is simpler and faster than previous approches, and uses FLIMfit open-source software. We demonstrate the versatility of our method through its combination with immunofluorescence and its implementation in immortalised cells and primary neurons. Owing to these developments, we applied this method to elucidate the function of the DNA damage response kinase, ATM, in regulating chromatin organisation after genotoxic-stress. We unravelled a role for ATM in regulating chromatin compaction independently of DNA damage. Collectively, we present an adaptable chromatin FLIM method for examining chromatin structure in cells, and establish its broader utility.
