Abstract
The assembly of the peroxisomal translocon involves the transition of a soluble form of the peroxisomal targeting receptor PEX5 into a membrane-bound form, which becomes an integral membrane component of the import pore for peroxisomal matrix proteins. How this transition occurs is still a mystery. We addressed this question using a artificial horizontal bilayer in combination with fluorescence time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and electrophysiological channel recording. Purified human isoform PEX5L and truncated PEX5L(1-335) lacking the cargo binding domain were selectively labeled with thiol-reactive Atto-dyes. Diffusion coefficients of labeled protein in solution show that PEX5L is monomeric with a rather compact spherical conformation, while the truncated protein appeared in a more extended conformation. Labeled PEX5L and the truncated PEX5L(1-335) bind stably to horizontal bilayer thereby accumulating around 100-fold. The diffusion coefficients of the membrane-bound PEX5L forms are 3-4 times lower than in solution, indicating the formation of larger complexes. Electrophysiological single channel recording shows that membrane-bound labeled and non-labeled PEX5L, but not the truncated PEX5L(1-335), can form ion conducting membrane channels. The data suggest that PEX5L is the pore-forming component of the oligomeric peroxisomal translocon and that spontaneous PEX5L membrane surface binding might be an important step in its assembly.

Abstract
Developments in microscopy have been instrumental to progress in the life sciences, and many new techniques have been introduced and led to new discoveries throughout the last century. A wide and diverse range of methodologies is now available, including electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, small-angle x-ray scattering and multiple super-resolution fluorescence techniques, and each of these methods provides valuable read-outs to meet the demands set by the samples under study. Yet, the investigation of cell development requires a multi-parametric approach to address both the structure and spatio-temporal organization of organelles, and also the transduction of chemical signals and forces involved in cell-cell interactions. Although the microscopy technologies for observing each of these characteristics are well developed, none of them can offer read-out of all characteristics simultaneously, which limits the information content of a measurement. For example, while electron microscopy is able to disclose the structural layout of cells and the macromolecular arrangement of proteins, it cannot directly follow dynamics in living cells. The latter can be achieved with fluorescence microscopy which, however, requires labelling and lacks spatial resolution. A remedy is to combine and correlate different readouts from the same specimen, which opens new avenues to understand structure-function relations in biomedical research. At the same time, such correlative approaches pose new challenges concerning sample preparation, instrument stability, region of interest retrieval, and data analysis. Because the field of correlative microscopy is relatively young, the capabilities of the various approaches have yet to be fully explored, and uncertainties remain when considering the best choice of strategy and workflow for the correlative experiment. With this in mind, the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics presents a special roadmap on the correlative microscopy techniques, giving a comprehensive overview from various leading scientists in this field, via a collection of multiple short viewpoints.

Abstract
Membrane bound cell signaling is modulated by the membrane ultra-structure, which itself may be affected by signaling. However, measuring the interaction of membrane proteins with membrane structures in intact cells in real-time poses considerable challenges. In this paper we present a non-destructive fluorescence method that quantifies these interactions in single cells, and is able to monitor the same cell continuously to observe small changes. This approach combines total internal fluorescence microscopy with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to measure the protein's diffusion and molecular concentration in different sized areas simultaneously. It correctly differentiates proteins interacting with membrane fences from proteins interacting with cholesterol-stabilized domains, or lipid rafts. This method detects small perturbations of the membrane ultra-structure or of a protein's tendency to dimerize. Through continuous monitoring of single cells, we demonstrate how dimerization of GPI-anchored proteins increases their association with the structural domains. Using a dual-color approach we study the effect of dimerization of one GPI-anchored protein on another type of GPI-anchored protein expressed in the same cell. Scans over the cell surface reveal a correlation between cholesterol stabilized domains and membrane cytoskeleton.
