英文摘要 | Red fluorescent protein (RFP) DsRed and its variants are widely applied in live-cell imaging experiments. However, a major factor that restricts the application of DsRed is its cytotoxicity. Here, we report that DsRed and its variant DsRed-Express2 inhibit the expression of B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) in HeLa cells by translational regulation. Over-expression of Bcl-xL can reduce the cytotoxicity of DsRed. Meanwhile, Turbo RFP, a mutant RFP from Entacmaea quadricolor, does not affect Bcl-xL expression, suggesting that cytotoxic mechanisms of RFP from different species may be varied. Our results reveal a possible mechanism for the cytotoxicity of DsRed, providing a potential strategy to improve the application of DsRed and its variants.
