RESUMO

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays an important role in various biological processes in numerous organisms. Depending on the concentration and the distribution within the cell, it can act as stressor or redox signalling molecule. To analyse the effects of H2O2 and its diffusion within the cell we developed the new genetically encoded photosensitizer KillerRed-SOD1 which enables a light-induced spatially and temporally controlled generation of H2O2 in living cells. The KillerRed-SOD1 is a fusion protein of the photosensitizer KillerRed (KR) and the cytosolic superoxide dismutase isoform 1 (SOD1) connected by a helix-forming peptide linker. Light irradiation at a wavelength of 560 nm induced superoxide radical formation at the KR domain which was transformed to H2O2 at the SOD1 domain. H2O2 was specifically detected under live cell conditions using the fluorescent sensor protein HyPer. Genetically encoded photosensitizers have the advantage that appropriate tag sequences can determine the localisation of the protein within the cell. Herein, it was exemplarily shown that the peroxisomal targeting sequence 1 directed the photosensitizer KR-SOD1 to the peroxisomes and enabled H2O2 formation specifically in these organelles. In summary, with the photosensitizer KR-SOD1 a new valuable tool was established which allows a controlled intracellular H2O2 generation for the analysis of H2O2 effects on a subcellular level.
