Design of the oxygen sensor protein probe. Primary structures of protoANA1 (A) and protoANA2 (B) are indicated. A variant of YFP (Venus) and the oxygen sensor domain of DosP from E.coli (DosH) were conjugated with a Gly-Ser linker or an antiparallel coiled-coil linker (APC linker), respectively. Fluorescence quenching mechanisms are schematically shown for protoANA1 (C), protoANA2 (D), ANA-G (E) and ANA-Q (F). In the oxygen free form, acceptor DosH exhibited a visible absorption and efficiently quenched fluorescence from donor Venus. In the oxygen-bound form, DosH had reduced absorption, leading to increased fluorescence emissions from Venus.
