Popis: Zinc biology, featuring intertwining signaling networks and of critical importance to human health, witnesses exciting opportunities in the big data era of physiology. Here, we report a class of red- and far-red-emitting Zn 2+ probes with K d values ranging from 190 nM to 74 μM, which are particularly suitable for real-time monitoring the high concentration of Zn 2+ /insulin co-released during vesicular secretory events. Compared to the prototypical rhodamine-based Zn 2+ probes, the new class exploits morpholino auxochromes which eliminates phototoxicity during long-term live recording from isolated islets. A Si-rhodamine-based Zn 2+ probe with high turn-on ratio (> 100), whose synthesis was enabled by a new route featuring late-stage N-alkylation, allowed simultaneous recording of Ca 2+ influx, mitochondrial signal, and insulin secretion in isolated mouse islets. The time-lapse multicolor fluorescence movies and their analysis, enabled by red-shifted Zn 2+ and other orthogonal physiological probes, highlight the potential impact of biocompatible fluorophores on the fields of islet endocrinology and system biology.
