Show abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is a key intermediate in multiple energetic and anabolic pathways, and quantifying its dynamics is essential for understanding cellular physiology. We have previously developed a syndicate of intensity-based, genetically encoded sensors based on the insertion of circularly permuted GFP into a Venus-flytrap-like analyte-binding protein. Here we use the same approach to develop an intensity-based G6P Sensing Fluorescent Reporter (iG6PSnFR). We present two variants: a G6P-activated sensor that increases fluorescence and a G6P-inactivated sensor that decreases fluorescence. We validate performance across progressively more complex preparations, including purified protein in vitro, immortalized and primary neuronal cultures, isolated pancreatic islets, in an intravital liver model, and finally in vivo in C. elegans neurons. In each context, iG6PSnFR reports G6P changes consistent with expected responses to physiological perturbations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
