Abstract

We propose a new fluorogen-activating protein nano-frFAST with only 98 amino acids based on a combination of the previously created fluorogen-activating proteins nanoFAST and frFAST. A series of fluorogens with an increased system of conjugated bonds, which are potentially capable of binding to this protein, were synthesized. Based on the results of the study, a promising fluorogen which is (Z)-5-((E)-3-(4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)allylidene)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (HPAR-DOM) was identified. We demonstrate that the nano-frFAST–HPAR-DOM complex can be used as a genetically encoded far-red fluorescent label for staining individual structures of living cells.
