Redox-sensitive GFPs with engineered disulphide bonds have been used previously to monitor redox status in the cytosol and mitochondria of living cells. The usefulness of these redox probes depends on the reduction potential of the disulphide, with low values suiting the cytosol and mitochondrion, and higher values suiting the more oxidising environment of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we targeted a modified redox-sensitive GFP (roGFP1-iL), with a relatively high reduction potential, to ...[more]
