Lactate meets neuronal activity! 🧠⚡️
Yusuke Nasu's team @AcadSinica & collaborators in 6 countries present eLACCO3 & R-eLACCO3, green & red lactate biosensors👏👏👏
1/5 New preprint!
1/5 🟢🔴 New preprint!
Meet eLACCO3 & R-eLACCO3: fast, Ca2+-independent green/red biosensors for extracellular lactate imaging. From protein engineering to multiplexed imaging in vivo.

Replying to @NasuLab_IBC @CERVO_ULaval
Huge thanks to all our coauthors and collaborators. What would you explore with these sensors? We'd love your feedback!

5/5 Ready to image lactate, inside or out?
Plasmids are expected to be available to order from Addgene in the next 1–2 days! AAVs are available from @CERVO_ULaval.
4/5 For sensor developers: going extracellular takes more than a signal peptide!
We combined LldR-based sensing, cysteine substitutions, linker engineering, directed evolution, and optimized surface targeting. Engineer for the environment, not just the test tube.
3/5 Want to image lactate INSIDE cells?
We also introduce iLACCO2 & R-iLACCO2: green/red intracellular sensors with large fluorescence responses and multiple affinity variants. More options for matching your sensor to your metabolic question!
2/5 Not just bigger signals.
eLACCO3 & R-eLACCO3 reveal glucose-evoked extracellular lactate oscillations that earlier variants often missed. Faster responses and recovery, with improved sensitivity, help capture dynamics at the cell surface.
