Eos

In Greek mythology, Ēōs (/ˈɒs/; Ionic and Homeric Greek Ἠώς, Attic Ἕως Éōs, "dawn", pronounced [ɛːɔ̌ːs] or [héɔːs]; Aeolic Αὔως Aúōs, Doric Ἀώς Āṓs) is a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus.

Eos had a brother and a sister, Helios, god of the sun, and Selene, goddess of the moon.

Etymology

Eos is cognate to Vedic Sanskrit Ushas and Latin Aurora, both goddesses of dawn, and all three considered derivatives of a PIE stem *h₂ewsṓs (later *Ausṓs), "dawn", a stem that also gave rise to Proto-Germanic *Austrō, Old Germanic *Ōstara and Old English Ēostre/Ēastre. This agreement leads to the reconstruction of a Proto-Indo-European dawn goddess.

Greek literature

The dawn goddess Eos was almost always described with rosy fingers (ῥοδοδάκτυλος, rhododáktylos) or rosy forearms (ῥοδόπηχυς, rhodópēkhys) as she opened the gates of heaven for the Sun to rise. In Homer, her saffron-coloured robe is embroidered or woven with flowers; rosy-fingered and with golden arms, she is pictured on Attic vases as a beautiful woman, crowned with a tiara or diadem and with the large white-feathered wings of a bird.

    Eos (also called EosFP) is a photoactivatable fluorescent protein (PAFP).

    Discovery

    Eos was isolated from the coral Lobophyllia hemprichii in a large-scale screen for PAFPs.

    Properties

    Eos undergoes an irreversible photoconversion in response to 390 nm light. Prior to this conversion, it exhibits a green emission peak at 516 nm. Following conversion, it has a red emission peak at 581 nm.

    Wild-type Eos is a tetrameric protein. It has been modified to generate a monomeric form (referred to as mEos) that is more amenable for experiments involving labeling of a single molecule. Further improvements of mEos lead to mEos2 that is able to mature at 37 °C and can be used in mammalian cells. One drawback of mEos2 - the formation of oligomers at high concentrations - was resolved in the next generation of mEos: mEos3.1 & mEos3.2.

    Applications

    Like other PAFPs, Eos can be used to optically label single cells for subsequent analysis. Because Eos is available in monomeric forms, it can also be used to observe the kinetics and trafficking of single molecules as a fusion protein.

    I am inauthentic
    That's me not knowing who he is
    I feel understands me
    You don't love me
    I take heart
    Because I haven't reacted
    To create hurt
    He mocks
    Before me
    I could have done something differently
    You can't heal what you can't feel
    Half beyond the consequence and
    Hurt me must grieve
    Let betrayal in this
    Also I'd leave our dreams
    And best beyond chance
    What might have been
    I embrace my feelings
    Share them lonely
    Last the only may are these food
    I take heart
    Because I haven't reacted
    To create hurt
