Forskolin was added to elevate cAMP after 5 mins, and cells were flashed with light at varying intensities at 33 mins. The signal for each trial was normalized to pre-flash and the minimum cAMP post-flash was recorded for each trial. a,b Time courses of the GloSensor cAMP signal (average of three trials +/- SEM) for dark controls and 1015.1 photons/mm2 flash conditions. a Raw luminescence and b normalized to the final point prior to flash. Average responses +/-SEM for all light levels tested are shown in (c), with the best-fitting curve for –PTX. d HEK293T cells transfected with Glo22F, rod opsin, and Gso, Gsi, or Gst bearing the native Cys residue in the C-terminal -4 position were not treated with PTX. Cells were stimulated with light and the responses analyzed as in Fig. 3. Best-fitting maximum response amplitudes are graphed alongside the response amplitudes for rod opsin tested with PTX-insensitive Gso, Gsi, or Gst and treated with PTX (data reproduced from Fig. 3d). The wild-type and Ser point mutants for each GsX were compared by ANOVA. Uncorrected p values are shown and no differences were statistically significant. e HEK293T cells were transfected with Glo22F and either JellyOp or rod opsin, with or without exogenous G protein as indicated, and treated with PTX. Cells were stimulated with light and responses analyzed as in Fig. 3. The graph shows mean responses (n = 3, +/-SEM) at each light intensity. Lines are best-fitting sigmoid curves. Error bars smaller than symbols are not shown. (PDF 441 kb) 2018-01-16 05:00:00 Optogenetics Opsin GPCR GalphaO Retinal degeneration Gene therapy Synthetic biology Cell signaling
