Fig. 6

a Schematic diagram of the synthetic indicators for Ca2+ based on circularly permuted SmFPs. The synthetic indicators consist of the calmodulin binding peptide (CBP), cpSNAPf, and calmodulin (CaM). b Chemical structures of fluorophores for the synthetic calcium indicators. Fluorescence of the synthetic calcium indicators in the Ca2+-free and Ca2+-bound states was shown. c, d Excitation spectra (c) and emission spectrum (d) of the synthetic calcium indicators. e Ca2+ titration of the synthetic calcium indicators at pH 7.4. Protein concentrations were 100 nM. Error bars are standard deviations, n = 3. f, g SiCa485 (f) and SiCa675 (g) reported Ca2+ dynamics in single HeLa cells treated with histamine. Scale bars, 10 μm.
