Abstract
Golgi pH homeostasis affects many different biological processes, including glycosylation. Recent studies have demonstrated that transmembrane protein 165 (TMEM165) deficiency leads to Golgi glycosylation abnormalities by disturbing Golgi pH homeostasis. However, due to the lack of specific tools to measure Golgi pH in situ, evidence for TMEM165 involvement in H+ transport in the Golgi apparatus is still absent. Herein, the photoacoustic and fluorescent dual-mode probe CPH was developed for ratiometric detection of Golgi pH. CPH was proved to accumulate in the Golgi apparatus and reversibly image Golgi pH in real-time with high sensitivity in cells. Furthermore, we found that the absence of TMEM165 influenced H+ equilibrium and caused Golgi apparatus acidification. Our work provides strong evidence that TMEM165 regulates Golgi pH homeostasis. Moreover, we believe that CPH has the potential to be a practical tool to monitor Golgi pH in various biological processes.
