Self-labeling of proteins with chemical fluorescent dyes in BY-2 cells and Arabidopsis seedlings

Synthetic chemical fluorescent dyes are promising tools for many applications in biology. SNAP tagging provides a unique opportunity for labeling of specific proteins in vivo with synthetic dyes for studying for example endocytosis, or super-resolution microscopy. However, despite the potential, chemical dye tagging has not been used effectively in plants. A major drawback was the limited knowledge regarding cell wall and membrane permeability of synthetic dyes. Twenty-six out of 31 synthetic dyes were taken up into BY-2 cells, eight were not taken up and can thus serve for measuring endocytosis. Three of the dyes that were able to enter the cells, SNAP-tag ligands of diethylaminocoumarin, tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) and silicon-rhodamine (SiR) 647 were used to SNAP tag α-tubulin. Successful tagging was verified by live cell imaging and visualization of microtubules arrays in interphase and during mitosis. Fluorescence activation-coupled protein labeling (FAPL) with DRBG-488 was used to observe PIN2 endocytosis and delivery to the vacuole as well as preferential delivery of newly synthesized PIN2 to the newly forming cell plate during mitosis. Together the data demonstrate that specific self-labeling of proteins can be used effectively in plants to study a wide variety to cell biological processes.
