FRET assays with genetically targeted labels • Protein-protein interactions • heterotrimeric G proteins, transcription factors… • GPCR conformational changes at ms time resoln. • GTP/GDP-bound status of small G proteins • cAMP, cGMP, NO, Zn2+ • Proteases such as caspases • Ca2+: cytosol vs. ER • Protein kinase/phosphatase activities • EGFR, Src, Abl, PKA, PKB, PKC • PIP2/IP3, DAG, other lipid-related signals Protein knockouts in seconds by CALI

Acute CALI reveals importance of synaptotagmin in endocytosis Endocytosis assayed with FM4-64 559-563
Tetracysteine-biarsenical CALI • Compared to traditional CALI, eliminates need to raise innocuous Abs, label with dye, microinject just the right amount • Compared with noncovalent small molecule inhibitors, avoids need for custom drug development/med chem, allows isoform specificity • Compared with gene knockout/RNAi: much higher temporal/spatial resolution, less chance for compensation or avalanche of effects • But only eliminates exogenous tagged copies. Ultimately, one would knock out endogenous copies, replace by tagged copies, show function is normal until CALI suddenly initiated
