In vivo FLIM-FRET analysis in MSR-1 cells with MamJ-phiYFP and MamJ-phiYFP + TagRFP657-MamK. (a) Representative phiYFP (donor) fluorescence decay curves measured by time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) in MSR-1 expressing either MamJ-phiYFP (yellow data points) or MamJ-phiYFP together with TagRFP657-MamK (green data points) translational fusions. For MamJ-phiYFP alone, the data was fitted to a single-exponential deconvolution fitting model (orange line), yielding the decay time τD = 2.95 ns. For MamJ-phiYFP in the presence of TagRFP657-MamK, the data was fitted to a bi-exponential deconvolution fitting model (green line), resulting in τD = 2.94 ns (fixed value, determined from n = 9, SI) and τDA = 0.56 ns. (b) FLIM images of MSR-1 with MamJ-phiYFP alone or (c) together with TagRFP657-MamK. The amplitude-weighted average decay time for phiYFP is shown in pseudo-color code, in which warmer colors represent the unaffected donor decay time and colder colors represent shorter decay times due to energy transfer between phiYFP and TagRFP657. Scale bar: 1 µm.
