Supplemental Figure S1. K d measurement of various MG dyes using purified recombinant dl5** protein. 1 nm dl5 was incubated with a serial dilution of 1024 nm to 0.5 nm of the respective fluorogen dissolved in PBS with 0.1% Pluronic F127. The FAP+dye complex fluorescence was corrected by subtracting the fluorescence of a dye only sample, and then normalized to the maximum signal at saturation to establish the fractional occupancy. The K D was determined by fitting the data with a ligand depletion single-site binding model in Graphpad Prism 5.0. The ligand depletion model assumes that changes in complex formation are associated with complementary changes in free ligand and free receptor, and are a typical model for ligand-receptor interactions when one has to work at protein concentrations that are near the K d value. In the equation below, X is the added concentration of dye, R is the added receptor concentration (1 nm), and K d is the adjustable parameter used to determine the equilibrium dissociation constant.

Propidium iodide negative (e.g. non-apoptotic) cells were selected and analyzed for associated MG fluorescence due to nonspecific activation (633 nm laser excitation with 685/70 nm emission filter). Fluorescence intensity was normalized to autofluorescence of cells (no MG dye applied) for each cell type, and then plotted as mean (marker) and range (bars) of independent duplicate experiments on separate days. The only samples that are significantly different from the autofluorescent cells by AVA test for multiple comparisons Graphpad Prism 7.0) are the MG-ester (4) labeled cells, which are also significantly different from each of the other dyes. o statistically significant differences are seen among the other dye comparisons on living cells.

Tetrabutylammonium 2-(4-((2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)oxy)-4-oxobutanamido) ethanesulfonate 8 dissolved in dry acetonitrile (5 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt. Acetonitrile (15 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was heated up to reflux. Tetrachlorobenzoquinone (147 mg, 0.6 mmol) dissolved in 5 ml of hot acetonitrile was added. Reflux was continued for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt and concentrated. The product was taken up in diluted sulfuric acid and separated by MPLC on RP-18. Eluent: water, 0.1%TFA/acetonitrile 20% to 30% gradient. UPLC analysis of the product fractions was performed. The mobile phase contained 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in H2 and acetonitrile. At a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min with 0.5 min of H2/0.1% TFA followed by a linear gradient of 0%-100% acetonitrile over 2.5 min, the product elutes at 2.246 min. The product fractions that show a 99.5% purity (calculation

based on the 280 nm and 610 nm UV absorption chromatogram) were combined and concentrated to yield 75 mg of product.
