Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1), a metallopeptidase belonging to the M1 peptidase family, plays an important role in antigen processing in vivo. Additionally, many diseases are caused by ERAP1 perturbation. Thus, an efficient method for monitoring its content is extremely important for disease diagnosis and treatment. However, few fluorescent probes have been reported for efficiently monitoring ERAP1 in living cells and tissues. In this work, a two-photon fluorescent probe (SNCL) containing 1,8-naphthalimide (two-photon fluorophore), l-leucine (trigger moiety), and a methyl sulfonamide moiety (endoplasmic reticulum-targeting group) for imaging ERAP1 activity in living cells is reported for the first time. The optimized probe exhibited high sensitivity toward ERAP1, with about a 95-fold fluorescence enhancement at 550 nm. Herein, we monitored ERAP1 with SNCL by introducing interferon-γ to induce ERAP1 activity in living cells. The content of ERAP1 was dependent on the redox state of the endoplasmic reticulum, which was demonstrated by using SNCL to monitor the enzymatic activity of ERAP1 under different redox conditions. Excitingly, SNCL was also successfully applied for monitoring ERAP1 in tumor tissue with an imaging depth of 50-120 μm. In conclusion, SNCL not only can be used for the sensitive detection of endogenous ERAP1 in living cells and tumor tissues but also can serve as a potentially useful tool to reveal ERAP1-related diseases.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH). (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Ergastoplasm,Reticulum, Endoplasmic
