Here, we extend the use of FCS to low concentrations of coding RNAs in single living cells. We genetically fuse a red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene and two binding sites for an RNA-binding protein, whose translated product is the RFP protein alone. Using this construct, we determine in single cells both the absolute [mRNA] concentration and the associated [RFP] expressed from an inducible plasmid. We find that the FCS method allows us to reliably monitor in real-time [mRNA] down to similar to 40 nM (i.e. approximately two transcripts per volume of detection). To validate these measurements, we show that [mRNA] is proportional to the associated expression of the RFP protein. This FCS-based technique establishes a framework for minimally invasive measurements of mRNA concentration in individual living bacteria."}],"_id":"3754","day":"01","author":[{"full_name":"Calin Guet","id":"47F8433E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Calin C","last_name":"Guet","orcid":"0000-0001-6220-2052"},{"full_name":"Bruneaux,Luke","last_name":"Bruneaux","first_name":"Luke"},{"full_name":"Min,Taejin L","first_name":"Taejin","last_name":"Min"},{"full_name":"Siegal-Gaskins,Dan","first_name":"Dan","last_name":"Siegal Gaskins"},{"full_name":"Figueroa,Israel","first_name":"Israel","last_name":"Figueroa"},{"full_name":"Emonet,Thierry","last_name":"Emonet","first_name":"Thierry"},{"full_name":"Cluzel,Philippe","last_name":"Cluzel","first_name":"Philippe"}],"publication":"Nucleic Acids Research","doi":"10.1093/nar/gkn329","type":"journal_article","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:51:57Z","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png","short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode"},"month":"01","status":"public","acknowledgement":"PMCID: PMC2475643 ","title":"Minimally invasive determination of mRNA concentration in single living bacteria","quality_controlled":0,"volume":36,"publist_id":"2474","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:04:59Z","intvolume":"        36","year":"2008","publisher":"Oxford University Press"}
