The concentration of free zinc within insulin-storing vesicles is important for vesicle maturity and therefore requires accurate measurement. However, common small-molecule intensity-based probes and most available genetically encoded Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensors for zinc are unsuitable for estimating the free zinc concentration in insulin-storing vesicles. Therefore, we have developed a novel FRET-based zinc sensor based on the RING motif of TRIM72, referred to as ZnT72R, which has an approximate K_d that varies from 6.07±0.28 μmol/L to 7.84±0.42 μmol/L in vitro and a cytosol-calibrated K_d of approximately 55.56±4.59 μmol/L in HEK293 T cells. To pinpoint the free zinc concentration of insulin-storing vesicles, we initially targeted ZnT72R to beta-cell vesicles by fusing them to NPY (neuropeptide Y). Following NPY-ZnT72R labeling, the FRET intensity ratios of vesicles were quantified. We found that the free zinc concentration in insulin-storing vesicles of diabetic db/db mice (28.30±1.33 μmol/L) was significantly lower than that of control mice (41.46±3.53 μmol/L).
