摘要： Background: Cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy), as three major biothiols are involved in a variety of physiological processes and play a crucial role in plant growth. Abnormal levels of Cys can cause plants to fail to grow properly. To date, although a very large number of fluorescent probes have been reported for the detection of biothiols, very few of them can be used for the selective discrimination of Cys from GSH and Hcy due to their structural similarity, and only a few of them can be used for plant imaging. Results: Here, three fluorescent probes ( o- / m- / p-TMA ) based on TMN fluorophore and the ortho-/meta-/parasubstituted maleimide recognition groups were constructed to investigate the selective response effect of Cys. Compared to the o- / m-TMA , p-TMA can selectively detect Cys over GSH and Hcy with a rapid response time (10 min) and a low detection limit (0.26 mu M). The theoretical calculation confirmed that the intermediate p-TMACys-int has shorter interatomic reaction distances (3.827 & Aring;) compared to o-/m-TMA-Cys (5.533/5.287 & Aring;), making it more suitable for further transcyclization reactions. Additionally, p-TMA has been employed for selective tracking of exogenous and endogenous Cys in Arabidopsis thaliana using both single -/two -photon fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, single cell walls produced obvious two -photon fluorescence signals, indicating that p-TMA can be used for high -concentration Cys analysis in single cells. Surprisingly, p-TMA can be used as a fluorescent dye for protein staining in SDS-PAGE with higher sensitivity (7.49 mu g/mL) than classical Coomassie brilliant blue (14.11 mu g/mL). Significance: The outstanding properties of p-TMA make it a promising multifunctional molecular tool for the highly selective detection of Cys over GSH and Hcy in various complex environments, including water solutions, zebrafish, and plants. Additionally, it has the potential to be developed as a fluorescent dye for a simple and fast SDS-PAGE fluorescence staining method.
