Can We See PIP3and Hydrogen Peroxide with a Single Probe?
A genetically encoded sensor for parallel measurements of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity and hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) levels (termed PIP-SHOW) was developed. Upon elevation of local phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-
trisphosphate (PIP3) concentration, the sensor translocates from the cytosol to the plasma membrane, while a
ratiometric excitation change rapidly and simultaneously reports changes in the concentration of H2O2. The
dynamics of PIP3 and H2O2 generation were monitored in platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated fibroblasts
and in T-lymphocytes after formation of an immunological synapse. We suggest that PIP-SHOW can serve as a
prototype for many fluorescent sensors with combined readouts
