5′-Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) senses cellular metabolic status and reflects the balance between ATP production and ATP usage. This balance varies from cell to cell and changes over time, creating a need for methods that can capture cellular heterogeneity and temporal dynamics. Fluorescent biosensors for AMPK activity offer a unique approach to measure metabolic status nondestructively in single cells in real time. In this chapter, we provide a brief rationale for using live-cell biosensors to measure AMPK activity, survey the current AMPK biosensors, and discuss considerations for using this approach. We provide methodology for introducing AMPK biosensors into a cell line of choice, setting up experiments for live-cell fluorescent microscopy of AMPK activity, and calibrating the biosensors using immunoblot data.

摘要

5′-Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) senses cellular metabolic status and reflects the balance between ATP production and ATP usage. This balance varies from cell to cell and changes over time, creating a need for methods that can capture cellular heterogeneity and temporal dynamics. Fluorescent biosensors for AMPK activity offer a unique approach to measure metabolic status nondestructively in single cells in real time. In this chapter, we provide a brief rationale for using live-cell biosensors to measure AMPK activity, survey the current AMPK biosensors, and discuss considerations for using this approach. We provide methodology for introducing AMPK biosensors into a cell line of choice, setting up experiments for live-cell fluorescent microscopy of AMPK activity, and calibrating the biosensors using immunoblot data.
