A DNA nanomachine that maps spatial and temporal pH changes inside living cells
DNA nanomachines are synthetic assemblies that switch between defined molecular conformations upon stimulation by external triggers.
A pH-correctable, DNA-based fluorescent reporter for organellar calcium
It is extremely challenging to quantitate lumenal Ca2+ in acidic Ca2+ stores of the cell because all Ca2+ indicators are pH sensitive, and Ca2+ transport is coupled to pH in acidic organelles.
Two DNA nanomachines map pH changes along intersecting endocytic pathways inside the same cell
DNA is a versatile scaffold for molecular sensing in living cells, and various cellular applications of DNA nanodevices have been demonstrated.
A DNA nanomachine chemically resolves lysosomes in live cells
Lysosomes are multifunctional, subcellular organelles with roles in plasma membrane repair, autophagy, pathogen degradation and nutrient sensing.
DNA nanodevices map enzymatic activity in organelles
Cellular reporters of enzyme activity are based on either fluorescent proteins or small molecules.
High lumenal chloride in the lysosome is critical for lysosome function
Lysosomes are organelles responsible for the breakdown and recycling of cellular machinery.
