Subcellular Ca 2+ indicators have yet to be developed for the myofilament where disease mutation or small molecules may alter contractility through myofilament Ca 2+ sensitivity. Here, we develop and characterize genetically encoded Ca 2+ indicators restricted to the myofilament to directly visualize Ca 2+ changes in the sarcomere.
