Abstract
Drug resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) poses a significant challenge to treatment efficacy, primarily attributed to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) dysfunction. This study delves into the elusive spatial organization of P-gp, aiming to enhance our understanding of its role in MM drug resistance by exploring the intricate relationship between molecular function and spatial arrangement. Employing super-resolution imaging of P-gp with the inhibitor probe Tariquidar-TAMR labeling on MM cell membranes, the research uncovered a more pronounced clustering distribution of P-gp in drug-resistant cells (MM1R) compared to drug-sensitive counterparts (MM1S). Further exploration revealed the clustering distribution of P-gp was heightened as cellular drug resistance increased in hypoxic condition, directly emphasizing the strong correlation between P-gp cluster morphology and drug resistance. Additionally, stable P-gp cluster formation was influenced by cross-linking of membrane carbohydrates, and disrupting these glycoprotein clusters could reduce cellular drug resistance, suggesting that altering distribution patterns of P-gp can modulate drug responsiveness. Finally, dexamethasone (Dex) treatment was revealed to enhance P-gp clustering distribution, particularly in MM1S cells, indicating that change degree in P-gp distribution correlate with the modifiable space of cellular drug responsiveness. This study provides insights into the correlation between P-gp assembly and cellular drug responsiveness, deepening our understanding of functional changes in MM drug resistance and offering valuable perspectives for overcoming this challenge.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404942. [PMID: 38641901 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) based on temporal-focusing multiphoton excitation (TFMPE) and single-wavelength excitation is used to visualize the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of spontaneously blinking fluorophore-labeled subcellular structures in a thick specimen with a nanoscale-level spatial resolution. To eliminate the photobleaching effect of unlocalized molecules in out-of-focus regions for improving the utilization rate of the photon budget in 3D SMLM imaging, SMLM with single-wavelength TFMPE achieves wide-field and axially confined two-photon excitation (TPE) of spontaneously blinking fluorophores. TPE spectral measurement of blinking fluorophores is then conducted through TFMPE imaging at a tunable excitation wavelength, yielding the optimal TPE wavelength for increasing the number of detected photons from a single blinking event during SMLM. Subsequently, the TPE fluorescence of blinking fluorophores is recorded to obtain a two-dimensional TFMPE-SMLM image of the microtubules in cancer cells with a localization precision of 18±6 nm and an overall imaging resolution of approximately 51 nm, which is estimated based on the contribution of Nyquist resolution and localization precision. Combined with astigmatic imaging, the system is capable of 3D TFMPE-SMLM imaging of brain tissue section of a 5XFAD transgenic mouse with the pathological features of Alzheimer's disease, revealing the distribution of neurotoxic amyloid-beta peptide deposits.

Abstract
Super-resolution imaging provides unprecedented visualization of sub-cellular structures, but the two main techniques used, single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) and stimulated emission depletion (STED), are not easily reconciled. We present a protocol to super-impose nanoscale protein distribution reconstructed with SMLM to sub-cellular morphology obtained in STED. We describe steps for tracking cells on etched coverslips and registering images from two different microscopes with 30-nm accuracy. In this protocol, synaptic proteins are mapped in the dendritic spines of primary neurons. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Inavalli et al.1.

Abstract
The interactions between chromatin and the nuclear lamina orchestrate cell type-specific gene activity by forming lamina-associated domains (LADs) which preserve cellular characteristics through gene repression. However, unlike the interactions between chromatin segments, the strength of chromatin-lamina interactions and their dependence on cellular environment are not well understood. Here, we develop a theory to predict the size and shape of peripheral heterochromatin domains by considering the energetics of chromatin-chromatin interactions, the affinity between chromatin and the nuclear lamina and the kinetics of methylation and acetylation9in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Through the analysis of super-resolution images of peripheral heterochromatin domains using this theoretical framework, we determine the nuclear lamina-wide distribution of chromatin-lamina affinities. We find that the extracted affinity is highly spatially heterogeneous and shows a bimodal distribution, indicating regions along the lamina with strong chromatin binding and those exhibiting vanishing chromatin affinity interspersed with some regions exhibiting a relatively diminished chromatin interactions, in line with the presence of structures such as nuclear pores. Exploring the role of environmental cues on peripheral chromatin, we find that LAD thickness increases when hMSCs are cultured on a softer substrate, in correlation with contractility-dependent translocation of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) from the cytosol to the nucleus. In soft microenvironments, chromatin becomes sequestered at the nuclear lamina, likely due to the interactions of HDAC3 with the chromatin anchoring protein LAP2 β ,increasing chromatin-lamina affinity, as well as elevated levels of the intranuclear histone methylation. Our findings are further corroborated by pharmacological interventions that inhibit contractility, as well as by manipulating methylation levels using epigenetic drugs. Notably, in the context of tendinosis, a chronic condition characterized by collagen degeneration, we observed a similar increase in the thickness of peripheral chromatin akin to that of cells cultured on soft substrates consistent with theoretical predictions. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of the microenvironment in shaping genome organization and highlight its relevance in pathological conditions.

Abstract
Neurons receive correlated levels of excitation and inhibition, a feature that is important for proper brain function. However, how this relationship between excitatory and inhibitory inputs is established during the dynamic period of circuit wiring remains unexplored. Using multiple techniques, including in utero electroporation, electron microscopy, and electrophysiology, we reveal a tight correlation in the distribution of excitatory and inhibitory synapses along the dendrites of developing CA1 hippocampal neurons. This correlation was present within short dendritic stretches (<20 μm) and, surprisingly, was most pronounced during early development, sharply declining with maturity. The tight matching between excitation and inhibition was unexpected, as inhibitory synapses lacked an active zone when formed and exhibited compromised evoked release. We propose that inhibitory synapses form as a stabilizing scaffold to counterbalance growing excitation levels. This relationship diminishes over time, suggesting a critical role for a subcellular balance in early neuronal function and circuit formation.

Abstract
Mitochondria are complex organelles with an outer membrane enveloping a second inner membrane that creates a vast matrix space partitioned by pockets or cristae that join the peripheral inner membrane with several thin junctions. Several micrometres long, mitochondria are generally close to 300 nm in diameter, with membrane layers separated by a few tens of nanometres. Ultrastructural data from electron microscopy revealed the structure of these mitochondria, while conventional optical microscopy revealed their extraordinary dynamics through fusion, fission, and migration processes but its limited resolution power restricted the possibility to go further. By overcoming the limits of light diffraction, Super-Resolution Microscopy (SRM) now offers the potential to establish the links between the ultrastructure and remodelling of mitochondrial membranes, leading to major advances in our understanding of mitochondria's structure-function. Here we review the contributions of SRM imaging to our understanding of the relationship between mitochondrial structure and function. What are the hopes for these new imaging approaches which are particularly important for mitochondrial pathologies?

Abstract
The proliferation of microscopy methods for live-cell imaging offers many new possibilities for users but can also be challenging to navigate. The prevailing challenge in live-cell fluorescence microscopy is capturing intra-cellular dynamics while preserving cell viability. Computational methods can help to address this challenge and are now shifting the boundaries of what is possible to capture in living systems. In this Review, we discuss these computational methods focusing on artificial intelligence-based approaches that can be layered on top of commonly used existing microscopies as well as hybrid methods that integrate computation and microscope hardware. We specifically discuss how computational approaches can improve the signal-to-noise ratio, spatial resolution, temporal resolution and multi-colour capacity of live-cell imaging.

Abstract
During cell fate transitions, cells remodel their transcriptome, chromatin, and epigenome; however, it has been difficult to determine the temporal dynamics and cause-effect relationship between these changes at the single-cell level. Here, we employ the heterokaryon-mediated reprogramming system as a single-cell model to dissect key temporal events during early stages of pluripotency conversion using super-resolution imaging. We reveal that, following heterokaryon formation, the somatic nucleus undergoes global chromatin decompaction and removal of repressive histone modifications H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 without acquisition of active modifications H3K4me3 and H3K9ac. The pluripotency gene OCT4 (POU5F1) shows nascent and mature RNA transcription within the first 24 h after cell fusion without requiring an initial open chromatin configuration at its locus. NANOG, conversely, has significant nascent RNA transcription only at 48 h after cell fusion but, strikingly, exhibits genomic reopening early on. These findings suggest that the temporal relationship between chromatin compaction and gene activation during cellular reprogramming is gene context dependent.

Abstract
The introduction of super-resolution microscopy (SRM) has significantly advanced our understanding of cellular and molecular dynamics, offering a detailed view previously beyond our reach. Implementing SRM in biophysical research, however, presents numerous challenges. This review addresses the crucial aspects of utilizing SRM effectively, from selecting appropriate fluorophores and preparing samples to analyzing complex data sets. We explore recent technological advancements and methodological improvements that enhance the capabilities of SRM. Emphasizing the integration of SRM with other analytical methods, we aim to overcome inherent limitations and expand the scope of biological insights achievable. By providing a comprehensive guide for choosing the most suitable SRM methods based on specific research objectives, we aim to empower researchers to explore complex biological processes with enhanced precision and clarity, thereby advancing the frontiers of biophysical research.

Abstract
Knowledge on the distribution and dynamics of glycosylation enzymes in the Golgi is essential for better understanding this modification. Here, using a combination of CRISPR/Cas9 knockin technology and super-resolution microscopy, we show that the Golgi complex is assembled by a number of small 'Golgi units' that have 1-3 μm in diameter. Each Golgi unit contains small domains of glycosylation enzymes which we call 'zones'. The zones of N- and O-glycosylation enzymes are colocalised. However, they are less colocalised with the zones of a glycosaminoglycan synthesizing enzyme. Golgi units change shapes dynamically and the zones of glycosylation enzymes rapidly move near the rim of the unit. Photobleaching analysis indicates that a glycosaminoglycan synthesizing enzyme moves between units. Depletion of giantin dissociates units and prevents the movement of glycosaminoglycan synthesizing enzymes, which leads to insufficient glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Thus, we show the structure-function relationship of the Golgi and its implications in human pathogenesis.

Abstract
Excitatory and inhibitory synapses do not overlap even when formed on one submicron-sized dendritic protrusion. How excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic cytomatrices or densities (e/iPSDs) are segregated is not understood. Broadly, why membraneless organelles are naturally segregated in cellular subcompartments is unclear. Using biochemical reconstitutions in vitro and in cells, we demonstrate that ePSDs and iPSDs spontaneously segregate into distinct condensed molecular assemblies through phase separation. Tagging iPSD scaffold gephyrin with a PSD-95 intrabody (dissociation constant ~4 nM) leads to mistargeting of gephyrin to ePSD condensates. Unexpectedly, formation of iPSD condensates forces the intrabody-tagged gephyrin out of ePSD condensates. Thus, instead of diffusion-governed spontaneous mixing, demixing is a default process for biomolecules in condensates. Phase separation can generate biomolecular compartmentalization specificities that cannot occur in dilute solutions.

Abstract
In the nucleus, biological processes are driven by proteins that diffuse through and bind to a meshwork of nucleic acid polymers. To better understand this interplay, we present an imaging platform to simultaneously visualize single protein dynamics together with the local chromatin environment in live cells. Together with super-resolution imaging, new fluorescent probes, and biophysical modeling, we demonstrate that nucleosomes display differential diffusion and packing arrangements as chromatin density increases whereas the viscoelastic properties and accessibility of the interchromatin space remain constant. Perturbing nuclear functions impacts nucleosome diffusive properties in a manner that is dependent both on local chromatin density and on relative location within the nucleus. Our results support a model wherein transcription locally stabilizes nucleosomes while simultaneously allowing for the free exchange of nuclear proteins. Additionally, they reveal that nuclear heterogeneity arises from both active and passive processes and highlight the need to account for different organizational principles when modeling different chromatin environments.

Abstract
Tau aggregation plays a critical role in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), where tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are a key pathological hallmark. While much attention has been given to NFTs, emerging evidence underscores nano-sized pre-NFT tau aggregates as potentially toxic entities in AD. By leveraging DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy, we visualized and quantified nanoscale tau aggregates (nano-aggregates) in human postmortem brain tissues from intermediate and advanced AD, and Primary Age-Related Tauopathy (PART). Nano-aggregates were predominant across cases, with AD exhibiting a higher burden compared to PART. Hyperphosphorylated tau residues (p-T231, p-T181, and p-S202/T205) were present within nano-aggregates across all AD Braak stages and PART. Moreover, nano-aggregates displayed morphological differences between PART and AD, and exhibited distinct hyperphosphorylation patterns in advanced AD. These findings suggest that changes in nano-aggregate morphology and hyperphosphorylation patterns may exacerbate tau aggregation and AD progression. The ability to detect and profile nanoscale tau aggregates in human brain tissue opens new avenues for studying the molecular underpinnings of tauopathies.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) approaches revolutionize cell biology by providing insights into the nanoscale organization and dynamics of macromolecular assemblies and single molecules in living cells. A major hurdle limiting SRM democratization is post-acquisition data analysis which is often complex and time-consuming. Here, we present OneFlowTraX, a user-friendly and open-source software dedicated to the analysis of single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) approaches such as single-particle tracking photoactivated localization microscopy (sptPALM). Through an intuitive graphical user interface, OneFlowTraX provides an automated all-in-one solution for single-molecule localization, tracking, as well as mobility and clustering analyses. OneFlowTraX allows the extraction of diffusion and clustering parameters of millions of molecules in a few minutes. Finally, OneFlowTraX greatly simplifies data management following the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. We provide a detailed step-by-step manual and guidelines to assess the quality of single-molecule analyses. Applying different fluorophores including mEos3.2, PA-GFP, and PATagRFP, we exemplarily used OneFlowTraX to analyze the dynamics of plant plasma membrane-localized proteins including an aquaporin, the brassinosteroid receptor Brassinosteroid Insensitive 1 (BRI1) and the Receptor-Like Protein 44 (RLP44).

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is a powerful technique to achieve super-resolution imaging beyond the diffraction limit. Although various types of blinking fluorophores are currently considered for SMLM, intrinsic blinking fluorophores remain rare at the single-molecule level. Here, we report the synthesis of nanographene-based intrinsic burst-blinking fluorophores for highly versatile SMLM. We image amyloid fibrils in air and in various pH solutions without any additive and lysosome dynamics in live mammalian cells under physiological conditions. In addition, the single-molecule labeling of nascent proteins in primary sensory neurons was achieved with azide-functionalized nanographenes via click chemistry. SMLM imaging reveals higher local translation at axonal branching with unprecedented detail, while the size of translation foci remained similar throughout the entire network. These various results demonstrate the potential of nanographene-based fluorophores to drastically expand the applicability of super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
Sub-cellular diffusion in living systems reflects cellular processes and interactions. Recent advances in optical microscopy allow the tracking of this nanoscale diffusion of individual objects with an unprecedented level of precision. However, the agnostic and automated extraction of functional information from the diffusion of molecules and organelles within the sub-cellular environment, is labor-intensive and poses a significant challenge. Here we introduce DeepSPT, a deep learning framework to interpret the diffusional 2D or 3D temporal behavior of objects in a rapid and efficient manner, agnostically. Demonstrating its versatility, we have applied DeepSPT to automated mapping of the early events of viral infections, identifying distinct types of endosomal organelles, and clathrin-coated pits and vesicles with up to 95% accuracy and within seconds instead of weeks. The fact that DeepSPT effectively extracts biological information from diffusion alone illustrates that besides structure, motion encodes function at the molecular and subcellular level.

Abstract
Folate receptor alpha (FRα) is a vital membrane protein which have great association with cancers and involved in various biological processes including folate transport and cell signaling. However, the distribution and organization pattern of FRα on cell membranes remains unclear. Previous studies relied on antibodies to recognize the proteins. However, multivalent crosslinking and large size of antibodies confuse the direct observation to some extent. Fortunately, the emergence of peptide, which are small-sized and monovalent, has supplied us an unprecedented choice. Here, we applied fluorophore-conjugated peptide probe to recognize the FRα and study the distribution pattern of FRα on cell membrane using dSTORM super-resolution imaging technique. FRα were found to organized as clusters on cell surface with different sizes. And they have a higher expression level and formed larger clusters on various cancer cells than normal cells, which hinted that its specific distribution could be utilized for cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, we revealed that the lipid raft and cortical actin as restrictive factors for the FRα clustering, suggesting a potential assembly mechanism insight into FRα clustering on cell membrane. Collectively, our work clarified the morphology distribution and clustered organization of FRα with peptide probes at the nanometer scale, which paves the way for further revealing the relationship between the spatial organization and functions of membranal proteins.

Abstract
Membraneless organelles formed by phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids play diverse cellular functions. Whether and, if yes, how membraneless organelles in ways analogous to membrane-based organelles also undergo regulated fusion and fission is unknown. Here, using a partially reconstituted mammalian postsynaptic density (PSD) condensate as a paradigm, we show that membraneless organelles can undergo phosphorylation-dependent fusion and fission. Without phosphorylation of the SAPAP guanylate kinase domain-binding repeats, the upper and lower layers of PSD protein mixtures form two immiscible sub-compartments in a phase-in-phase organization. Phosphorylation of SAPAP leads to fusion of the two sub-compartments into one condensate accompanied with an increased Stargazin density in the condensate. Dephosphorylation of SAPAP can reverse this event. Preventing SAPAP phosphorylation in vivo leads to increased separation of proteins from the lower and upper layers of PSD sub-compartments. Thus, analogous to membrane-based organelles, membraneless organelles can also undergo regulated fusion and fission.

Abstract
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is critical for the type I interferon response to pathogen- or self-derived DNA in the cytosol. STING may function as a scaffold to activate TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), but direct cellular evidence remains lacking. Here we show, using single-molecule imaging of STING with enhanced time resolutions down to 5 ms, that STING becomes clustered at the trans-Golgi network (about 20 STING molecules per cluster). The clustering requires STING palmitoylation and the Golgi lipid order defined by cholesterol. Single-molecule imaging of TBK1 reveals that STING clustering enhances the association with TBK1. We thus provide quantitative proof-of-principle for the signaling STING scaffold, reveal the mechanistic role of STING palmitoylation in the STING activation, and resolve the long-standing question of the requirement of STING translocation for triggering the innate immune signaling.

Abstract
Repair of DNA double strand breaks by the non-homologous end-joining pathway is initiated by the binding of Ku to DNA ends. Given its high affinity for ends, multiple Ku proteins load onto linear DNAs in vitro. However, in cells, Ku loading is limited to ~1-2 molecules per DNA end. The mechanisms enforcing this limit are currently unknown. Here we show that the catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs), but not its protein kinase activity, is required to prevent excessive Ku entry into chromatin. Ku accumulation is further restricted by two mechanisms: a neddylation/FBXL12-dependent process which actively removes loaded Ku molecules throughout the cell cycle and a CtIP/ATM-dependent mechanism which operates in S-phase. Finally, we demonstrate that the misregulation of Ku loading leads to impaired transcription in the vicinity of DNA ends. Together our data shed light on the multiple layers of coordinated mechanisms operating to prevent Ku from invading chromatin and interfering with other DNA transactions.

Abstract
Despite the constant advances in fluorescence imaging techniques, monitoring endogenous proteins still constitutes a major challenge in particular when considering dynamics studies or super-resolution imaging. We have recently evolved specific protein-based binders for PSD-95, the main postsynaptic scaffold proteins at excitatory synapses. Since the synthetic recombinant binders recognize epitopes not directly involved in the target protein activity, we consider them here as tools to develop endogenous PSD-95 imaging probes. After confirming their lack of impact on PSD-95 function, we validated their use as intrabody fluorescent probes. We further engineered the probes and demonstrated their usefulness in different super-resolution imaging modalities (STED, PALM, and DNA-PAINT) in both live and fixed neurons. Finally, we exploited the binders to enrich at the synapse genetically encoded calcium reporters. Overall, we demonstrate that these evolved binders constitute a robust and efficient platform to selectively target and monitor endogenous PSD-95 using various fluorescence imaging techniques.

Abstract
Direct interactions between receptors at the neuronal surface have long been proposed to tune signaling cascades and neuronal communication in health and disease. Yet, the lack of direct investigation methods to measure, in live neurons, the interaction between different membrane receptors at the single molecule level has raised unanswered questions on the biophysical properties and biological roles of such receptor interactome. Using a multidimensional spectral single molecule-localization microscopy (MS-SMLM) approach, we monitored the interaction between two membrane receptors, i.e. glutamatergic NMDA (NMDAR) and G protein-coupled dopamine D1 (D1R) receptors. The transient interaction was randomly observed along the dendritic tree of hippocampal neurons. It was higher early in development, promoting the formation of NMDAR-D1R complexes in an mGluR5- and CK1-dependent manner, favoring NMDAR clusters and synaptogenesis in a dopamine receptor signaling-independent manner. Preventing the interaction in the neonate, and not adult, brain alters in vivo spontaneous neuronal network activity pattern in male mice. Thus, a weak and transient interaction between NMDAR and D1R plays a structural and functional role in the developing brain.

Abstract
Imaging neuronal architecture has been a recurrent challenge over the years, and the localization of synaptic proteins is a frequent challenge in neuroscience. To quantitatively detect and analyze the structure of synapses, we recently developed free SODA software to detect the association of pre and postsynaptic proteins. To fully take advantage of spatial distribution analysis in complex cells, such as neurons, we also selected some new dyes for plasma membrane labeling. Using Icy SODA plugin, we could detect and analyze synaptic association in both conventional and single molecule localization microscopy, giving access to a molecular map at the nanoscale level. To replace those molecular distributions within the neuronal three-dimensional (3D) shape, we used MemBright probes and 3D STORM analysis to decipher the entire 3D shape of various dendritic spine types at the single-molecule resolution level. We report here the example of synaptic proteins within neuronal mask, but these tools have a broader spectrum of interest since they can be used whatever the proteins or the cellular type. Altogether with SODA plugin, MemBright probes thus provide the perfect toolkit to decipher a nanometric molecular map of proteins within a 3D cellular context.

Abstract
The 20-year revolution in optical fluorescence microscopy, supported by the optimization of both spatial resolution and timely acquisition, allows the visualization of nanoscaled objects in cell biology. Currently, the use of a recent generation of super-resolution fluorescence microscope coupled with improved fluorescent probes gives the possibility to study the replicative cycle of viruses in living cells, at the single-virus particle or protein level. Here, we highlight the protocol for visualizing HIV-1 Gag assembly at the host T-cell plasma membrane using super-resolution light microscopy. Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF-M) coupled with single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) enables the detection and characterization of the assembly of viral proteins at the plasma membrane of infected host cells at the single protein level. Here, we describe the TIRF equipment, the T-cell culture for HIV-1, the sample preparation for single-molecule localization microscopies such as PALM and STORM, acquisition protocols, and Gag assembling cluster analysis.

Abstract
Although the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 lipid envelope has been reported to be enriched with host cell sphingomyelin and cholesterol, the molecular mechanism of the enrichment is not well understood. Viral Gag protein plays a central role in virus budding. Here, we report the interaction between Gag and host cell lipids using different quantitative and super-resolution microscopy techniques in combination with specific probes that bind endogenous sphingomyelin and cholesterol. Our results indicate that Gag in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane colocalizes with the outer leaflet sphingomyelin-rich domains and cholesterol-rich domains, enlarges sphingomyelin-rich domains, and strongly restricts the mobility of sphingomyelin-rich domains. Moreover, Gag multimerization induces sphingomyelin-rich and cholesterol-rich lipid domains to be in close proximity in a curvature-dependent manner. Our study suggests that Gag binds, coalesces, and reorganizes pre-existing lipid domains during assembly.

Abstract
In the nucleus, biological processes are driven by proteins that diffuse through and bind to a meshwork of nucleic acid polymers. To better understand this interplay, we developed an imaging platform to simultaneously visualize single protein dynamics together with the local chromatin environment in live cells. Together with super-resolution imaging, new fluorescent probes, and biophysical modeling, we demonstrated that nucleosomes display differential diffusion and packing arrangements as chromatin density increases whereas the viscoelastic properties and accessibility of the interchromatin space remain constant. Perturbing nuclear functions impacted nucleosome diffusive properties in a manner that was dependent on local chromatin density and supportive of a model wherein transcription locally stabilizes nucleosomes while simultaneously allowing for the free exchange of nuclear proteins. Our results reveal that nuclear heterogeneity arises from both active and passive process and highlights the need to account for different organizational principals when modeling different chromatin environments.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial (PA) smooth muscle cells (PASMC) generate vascular tone in response to agonists coupled to Gq-protein receptor signaling. Such agonists stimulate oscillating calcium waves, the frequency of which drives the strength of contraction. These Ca2+ events are modulated by a variety of ion channels including voltage-gated calcium channels (CaV1.2), the Tmem16a or Anoctamin-1 (ANO1)-encoded calcium-activated chloride (CaCC) channel, and Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through inositol-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R). Although these calcium events have been characterized, it is unclear how these calcium oscillations underly a sustained contraction in these muscle cells. We used smooth muscle-specific ablation of ANO1 and pharmacological tools to establish the role of ANO1, CaV1.2, and IP3R in the contractile and intracellular Ca2+ signaling properties of mouse PA smooth muscle expressing the Ca2+ biosensor GCaMP3 or GCaMP6. Pharmacological block or genetic ablation of ANO1 or inhibition of CaV1.2 or IP3R, or Ca2+ store depletion equally inhibited 5-HT-induced tone and intracellular Ca2+ waves. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed that an anti-ANO1 antibody was able to pull down both CaV1.2 and IP3R. Confocal and superresolution nanomicroscopy showed that ANO1 coassembles with both CaV1.2 and IP3R at or near the plasma membrane of PASMC from wild-type mice. We conclude that the stable 5-HT-induced PA contraction results from the integration of stochastic and localized Ca2+ events supported by a microenvironment comprising ANO1, CaV1.2, and IP3R. In this model, ANO1 and CaV1.2 would indirectly support cyclical Ca2+ release events from IP3R and propagation of intracellular Ca2+ waves.

Abstract
Enveloped viruses assemble and bud from the host cell membranes. Any role of cortical actin in these processes have often been a source of debate. Here, we assessed if cortical actin was involved in HIV-1 assembly in infected CD4 T lymphocytes. Our results show that preventing actin branching not only increases HIV-1 particle release but also the number of individual HIV-1 Gag assembly clusters at the T cell plasma membrane. Indeed, in infected T lymphocytes and in in vitro quantitative model systems, we show that HIV-1 Gag protein prefers areas deficient in F-actin for assembling. Finally, we found that the host factor Arpin, an inhibitor of Arp2/3 branched actin, is recruited at the membrane of infected T cells and it can associate with the viral Gag protein. Altogether, our data show that, for virus assembly and particle release, HIV-1 prefers low density of cortical actin and may favor local actin debranching by subverting Arpin.

Abstract
Over the last decade, single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has revolutionized cell biology, making it possible to monitor molecular organization and dynamics with spatial resolution of a few nanometers. Despite being a relatively recent field, SMLM has witnessed the development of dozens of analysis methods for problems as diverse as segmentation, clustering, tracking or colocalization. Among those, Voronoi-based methods have achieved a prominent position for 2D analysis as robust and efficient implementations were available for generating 2D Voronoi diagrams. Unfortunately, this was not the case for 3D Voronoi diagrams, and existing methods were therefore extremely time-consuming. In this work, we present a new hybrid CPU-GPU algorithm for the rapid generation of 3D Voronoi diagrams. Voro3D allows creating Voronoi diagrams of datasets composed of millions of localizations in minutes, making any Voronoi-based analysis method such as SR-Tesseler accessible to life scientists wanting to quantify 3D datasets. In addition, we also improve ClusterVisu, a Voronoi-based clustering method using Monte-Carlo simulations, by demonstrating that those costly simulations can be correctly approximated by a customized gamma probability distribution function.

Mutant APC reshapes Wnt signaling plasma membrane nanodomains by altering cholesterol levels via oncogenic β-catenin. Nat Commun 2023; 14:4342. [PMID: 37468468 PMCID: PMC10356786 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-39640-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Although the role of the Wnt pathway in colon carcinogenesis has been described previously, it has been recently demonstrated that Wnt signaling originates from highly dynamic nano-assemblies at the plasma membrane. However, little is known regarding the role of oncogenic APC in reshaping Wnt nanodomains. This is noteworthy, because oncogenic APC does not act autonomously and requires activation of Wnt effectors upstream of APC to drive aberrant Wnt signaling. Here, we demonstrate the role of oncogenic APC in increasing plasma membrane free cholesterol and rigidity, thereby modulating Wnt signaling hubs. This results in an overactivation of Wnt signaling in the colon. Finally, using the Drosophila sterol auxotroph model, we demonstrate the unique ability of exogenous free cholesterol to disrupt plasma membrane homeostasis and drive Wnt signaling in a wildtype APC background. Collectively, these findings provide a link between oncogenic APC, loss of plasma membrane homeostasis and CRC development.

BIOLOGICAL IMAGING 2023; 3:e14. [PMID: 38487695 PMCID: PMC10936397 DOI: 10.1017/s2633903x23000156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy allowed major improvements in our capacity to describe and explain biological organization at the nanoscale. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) uses the positions of molecules to create super-resolved images, but it can also provide new insights into the organization of molecules through appropriate pointillistic analyses that fully exploit the sparse nature of SMLM data. However, the main drawback of SMLM is the lack of analytical tools easily applicable to the diverse types of data that can arise from biological samples. Typically, a cloud of detections may be a cluster of molecules or not depending on the local density of detections, but also on the size of molecules themselves, the labeling technique, the photo-physics of the fluorophore, and the imaging conditions. We aimed to set an easy-to-use clustering analysis protocol adaptable to different types of data. Here, we introduce Diinamic, which combines different density-based analyses and optional thresholding to facilitate the detection of clusters. On simulated or real SMLM data, Diinamic correctly identified clusters of different sizes and densities, being performant even in noisy datasets with multiple detections per fluorophore. It also detected subdomains ("nanodomains") in clusters with non-homogeneous distribution of detections.

The kinesin Kif21b regulates radial migration of cortical projection neurons through a non-canonical function on actin cytoskeleton. Cell Rep 2023; 42:112744.

Abstract
Completion of neuronal migration is critical for brain development. Kif21b is a plus-end-directed kinesin motor protein that promotes intracellular transport and controls microtubule dynamics in neurons. Here we report a physiological function of Kif21b during radial migration of projection neurons in the mouse developing cortex. In vivo analysis in mouse and live imaging on cultured slices demonstrate that Kif21b regulates the radial glia-guided locomotion of newborn neurons independently of its motility on microtubules. We show that Kif21b directly binds and regulates the actin cytoskeleton both in vitro and in vivo in migratory neurons. We establish that Kif21b-mediated regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics influences branching and nucleokinesis during neuronal locomotion. Altogether, our results reveal atypical roles of Kif21b on the actin cytoskeleton during migration of cortical projection neurons.

Abstract
This white paper is the outcome of the seventh UC Davis Cardiovascular Research Symposium on Systems Approach to Understanding Cardiovascular Disease and Arrhythmia. This biannual meeting aims to bring together leading experts in subfields of cardiovascular biomedicine to focus on topics of importance to the field. The theme of the 2022 Symposium was 'Cell Diversity in the Cardiovascular System, cell-autonomous and cell-cell signalling'. Experts in the field contributed their experimental and mathematical modelling perspectives and discussed emerging questions, controversies, and challenges in examining cell and signal diversity, co-ordination and interrelationships involved in cardiovascular function. This paper originates from the topics of formal presentations and informal discussions from the Symposium, which aimed to develop a holistic view of how the multiple cell types in the cardiovascular system integrate to influence cardiovascular function, disease progression and therapeutic strategies. The first section describes the major cell types (e.g. cardiomyocytes, vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, immune cells, etc.) and the signals involved in cardiovascular function. The second section emphasizes the complexity at the subcellular, cellular and system levels in the context of cardiovascular development, ageing and disease. Finally, the third section surveys the technological innovations that allow the interrogation of this diversity and advancing our understanding of the integrated cardiovascular function and dysfunction.

Abstract
Chromatin compaction differences may have a strong impact on accessibility of individual macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies to their DNA target sites. Estimates based on fluorescence microscopy with conventional resolution, however, suggest only modest compaction differences (∼2-10×) between the active nuclear compartment (ANC) and inactive nuclear compartment (INC). Here, we present maps of nuclear landscapes with true-to-scale DNA densities, ranging from <5 to >300 Mbp/μm3. Maps are generated from individual human and mouse cell nuclei with single-molecule localization microscopy at ∼20 nm lateral and ∼100 nm axial optical resolution and are supplemented by electron spectroscopic imaging. Microinjection of fluorescent nanobeads with sizes corresponding to macromolecular assemblies for transcription into nuclei of living cells demonstrates their localization and movements within the ANC and exclusion from the INC.

Abstract
Since the early 1990s, single-molecule detection in solution at room temperature has enabled direct observation of single biomolecules at work in real time and under physiological conditions, providing insights into complex biological systems that the traditional ensemble methods cannot offer. In particular, recent advances in single-molecule tracking techniques allow researchers to follow individual biomolecules in their native environments for a timescale of seconds to minutes, revealing not only the distinct pathways these biomolecules take for downstream signaling but also their roles in supporting life. In this review, we discuss various single-molecule tracking and imaging techniques developed to date, with an emphasis on advanced three-dimensional (3D) tracking systems that not only achieve ultrahigh spatiotemporal resolution but also provide sufficient working depths suitable for tracking single molecules in 3D tissue models. We then summarize the observables that can be extracted from the trajectory data. Methods to perform single-molecule clustering analysis and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy techniques are emerging as vital tools to unravel the nanoscale world of living cells by understanding the spatiotemporal organization of protein clusters at the nanometer scale. Current analyses define spatial nanoclusters based on detections but neglect important temporal information such as cluster lifetime and recurrence in "hotspots" on the plasma membrane. Spatial indexing is widely used in video games to detect interactions between moving geometric objects. Here, we use the R-tree spatial indexing algorithm to determine the overlap of the bounding boxes of individual molecular trajectories to establish membership in nanoclusters. Extending the spatial indexing into the time dimension allows the resolution of spatial nanoclusters into multiple spatiotemporal clusters. Using spatiotemporal indexing, we found that syntaxin1a and Munc18-1 molecules transiently cluster in hotspots, offering insights into the dynamics of neuroexocytosis. Nanoscale spatiotemporal indexing clustering (NASTIC) has been implemented as a free and open-source Python graphic user interface.

Abstract
Nucleoside transporters (NTs) play an important role in the metabolism of nucleoside substances and the efficacy of nucleoside drugs. Its spatial information related to biofunctions at the single-molecule level remains unclear, owing to the limitation of the existing labeling methods and traditional imaging methods. Therefore, we synthesize the inhibitor-based fluorescent probe SAENTA-Cy5 and apply direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) to conduct refined observation of human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1), the most important and famous member of NTs. We first demonstrate the labeling specificity and superiority of SAENTA-Cy5 to the antibody probe. Then, we found different assembly patterns of hENT1 on the apical and basal membranes, which are further investigated to be caused by varying associations of membrane carbohydrates, membrane classical functional domains (lipid rafts), and associated membrane proteins (EpCAM). Our work provides an efficient method for labeling hENT1, which contributes to realize fine observation of NTs. The findings on the assembly features and potential assembly mechanism of hENT1 promote a better understanding of its biofunction, which facilitates further investigations on how NTs work in the metabolism of nucleoside and nucleoside analogues.

Abstract
Excitatory synapses are typically described as single synaptic boutons (SSBs), where one presynaptic bouton contacts a single postsynaptic spine. Using serial section block-face scanning electron microscopy, we found that this textbook definition of the synapse does not fully apply to the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Roughly half of all excitatory synapses in the stratum oriens involved multi-synaptic boutons (MSBs), where a single presynaptic bouton containing multiple active zones contacted many postsynaptic spines (from 2 to 7) on the basal dendrites of different cells. The fraction of MSBs increased during development (from postnatal day 22 [P22] to P100) and decreased with distance from the soma. Curiously, synaptic properties such as active zone (AZ) or postsynaptic density (PSD) size exhibited less within-MSB variation when compared with neighboring SSBs, features that were confirmed by super-resolution light microscopy. Computer simulations suggest that these properties favor synchronous activity in CA1 networks.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) undergoes continuous remodelling via a selective autophagy pathway, known as ER-phagy1. ER-phagy receptors have a central role in this process2, but the regulatory mechanism remains largely unknown. Here we report that ubiquitination of the ER-phagy receptor FAM134B within its reticulon homology domain (RHD) promotes receptor clustering and binding to lipidated LC3B, thereby stimulating ER-phagy. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed how ubiquitination perturbs the RHD structure in model bilayers and enhances membrane curvature induction. Ubiquitin molecules on RHDs mediate interactions between neighbouring RHDs to form dense receptor clusters that facilitate the large-scale remodelling of lipid bilayers. Membrane remodelling was reconstituted in vitro with liposomes and ubiquitinated FAM134B. Using super-resolution microscopy, we discovered FAM134B nanoclusters and microclusters in cells. Quantitative image analysis revealed a ubiquitin-mediated increase in FAM134B oligomerization and cluster size. We found that the E3 ligase AMFR, within multimeric ER-phagy receptor clusters, catalyses FAM134B ubiquitination and regulates the dynamic flux of ER-phagy. Our results show that ubiquitination enhances RHD functions via receptor clustering, facilitates ER-phagy and controls ER remodelling in response to cellular demands.

Abstract
We introduce a new automated machine learning analysis pipeline to precisely classify cellular structures captured through single molecule localization microscopy, which we call ECLiPSE (Enhanced Classification of Localized Pointclouds by Shape Extraction). ECLiPSE leverages 67 comprehensive shape descriptors encompassing geometric, boundary, skeleton and other properties, the majority of which are directly extracted from the localizations to accurately characterize individual structures. We validate ECLiPSE through unsupervised and supervised classification on a dataset featuring five distinct cellular structures, achieving exceptionally high classification accuracies nearing 100%. Moreover, we demonstrate the versatility of our approach by applying it to two novel biological applications: quantifying the clearance of tau protein aggregates, a critical marker for neurodegenerative diseases, and differentiating between two distinct morphological features (morphotypes) of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 proteinopathy, potentially associated to different TDP-43 strains, each exhibiting unique seeding and spreading properties. We anticipate that this versatile approach will significantly enhance the way we study cellular structures across various biological contexts, elucidating their roles in disease development and progression.

Abstract
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy allows the investigation of cellular structures at nanoscale resolution using light. Current developments in super-resolution microscopy have focused on reliable quantification of the underlying biological data. In this review, we first describe the basic principles of super-resolution microscopy techniques such as stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), and then give a broad overview of methodological developments to quantify super-resolution data, particularly those geared toward SMLM data. We cover commonly used techniques such as spatial point pattern analysis, colocalization, and protein copy number quantification but also describe more advanced techniques such as structural modeling, single-particle tracking, and biosensing. Finally, we provide an outlook on exciting new research directions to which quantitative super-resolution microscopy might be applied.

Abstract
As transmembrane proteolytic enzyme, matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP14) regulates cell migration and cancer metastasis, but how it works at the single molecule level is unclear. Molecular localization is closely related to its function, and revealing its spatial assemble details is thus helpful to understand bio-function. Here, we apply aptamer probe and dSTORM to characterize MMP14 distribution. With demonstrating labeling properties of the probe, we investigate the specific distributed pattern of MMP14 on various cell membranes with different migratory capacities, and find that MMP14 mostly aggregate in clustering state, which becomes more significant with enhancing its hydrolysis efficiency on high-migratory cells. Lots of MMP14 are revealed to be co-localized with its substrate PTK7, and this colocalization decreases with weakening cell migration, suggesting that MMP14 may coordinate cell migration by altering its spatial relationship with substrate proteins. This work will promote a deep understanding of the roles of MMP14 in cell migration and cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Cells maintain a constant dialog between the extracellular matrix and their plasma membrane to fine tune signal transduction processes. We found that the receptor kinase FERONIA (FER), which is a proposed cell wall sensor, modulates phosphatidylserine plasma membrane accumulation and nano-organization, a key regulator of Rho GTPase signaling in Arabidopsis. We demonstrate that FER is required for both Rho-of-Plant 6 (ROP6) nano-partitioning at the membrane and downstream production of reactive oxygen species upon hyperosmotic stimulus. Genetic and pharmacological rescue experiments indicate that phosphatidylserine is required for a subset of, but not all, FER functions. Furthermore, application of FER ligand shows that its signaling controls both phosphatidylserine membrane localization and nanodomains formation, which, in turn, tunes ROP6 signaling. Together, we propose that a cell wall-sensing pathway controls via the regulation of membrane phospholipid content, the nano-organization of the plasma membrane, which is an essential cell acclimation to environmental perturbations.

Abstract
Super-resolution techniques have achieved localization precisions in the nanometer regime. Here we report all-optical, room temperature localization of fluorophores with precision in the Ångström range. We built on the concept of MINSTED nanoscopy where precision is increased by encircling the fluorophore with the low-intensity central region of a stimulated emission depletion (STED) donut beam while constantly increasing the absolute donut power. By blue-shifting the STED beam and separating fluorophores by on/off switching, individual fluorophores bound to a DNA strand are localized with σ = 4.7 Å, corresponding to a fraction of the fluorophore size, with only 2,000 detected photons. MINSTED fluorescence nanoscopy with single-digit nanometer resolution is exemplified by imaging nuclear pore complexes and the distribution of nuclear lamin in mammalian cells labeled by transient DNA hybridization. Because our experiments yield a localization precision σ = 2.3 Å, estimated for 10,000 detected photons, we anticipate that MINSTED will open up new areas of application in the study of macromolecular complexes in cells.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) allows super-resolution imaging, mapping, counting, and sizing of biological nanostructures such as cell organelles and extracellular vesicles (EVs), but sizing structures smaller than ∼100 nm can be inaccurate due to single-molecule localization error caused by distortion of the point spread function and limited photon number. Here we demonstrate a method to correct localization error when sizing vesicles and other spherical nanoparticles with SMLM and compare sizing results using two vesicle labeling schemes. We use mean approximation theory to derive a simple equation using full width at half-maximum (FWHM) for correcting particle sizes measured by two-dimensional SMLM, validate the method by sizing streptavidin-coated polystyrene nanobeads with the SMLM technique dSTORM with and without error correction, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for comparison, and then apply the method to sizing small seminal EVs. Nanobead sizes measured by dSTORM became increasingly less accurate (larger than TEM values) for beads smaller than 50 nm. The error-correction method reduced the size difference versus TEM from 15% without error correction to 7% with error correction for 40 nm beads, from 44% to 9% for 30 nm beads, and from 66% to 15% for 20 nm beads. Seminal EVs were labeled with a lipophilic membrane dye (MemBright 700) and with an Alexa Fluor 488-anti-CD63 antibody conjugate, and were sized separately using both dyes by dSTORM. Error-corrected exosome diameters were smaller than uncorrected values: 72 nm vs 79 nm mean diameter with membrane dyes; 84 nm vs 97 nm with the antibody-conjugated dyes. The mean error-corrected diameter was 12 nm smaller when using the membrane dye than when using the antibody-conjugated dye likely due to the large size of the antibody. Thus, both the error-correction method and the compact membrane labeling scheme reduce overestimation of vesicle size by SMLM. This error-correction method has a low computational cost as it does not require correction of individual blinking events, and it is compatible with all SMLM techniques (e.g., PALM, STORM, and DNA-PAINT).

Mechanistic insights into CDCP1 clustering on non-small-cell lung cancer membranes revealed by super-resolution fluorescent imaging. iScience 2023; 26:106103. [PMID: 36866248 PMCID: PMC9972570 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.106103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
CDCP1 is a transmembrane protein that is involved in a variety of important biological processes and upregulated in a variety of human solid malignancies; however, its spatial distribution and variation at the molecular level remain unclear. To solve this problem, we first analyzed its expression level and prognostic implications in lung cancer. Then, we used super-resolution microscopy to reveal the spatial organization of CDCP1 at different levels, and found that cancer cells generated more and larger CDCP1 clusters than normal cells. Furthermore, we found that CDCP1 can be integrated into larger and denser clusters as functional domains upon activation. Our findings elucidated the significant differences of CDCP1 clustering characteristics between cancer and normal cells, and revealed the relationship between its distribution and function, which will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of its oncogenic mechanism, and will be of great help for the development of CDCP1-targeted drugs for lung cancer.

Advanced image-free analysis of the nano-organization of chromatin and other biomolecules by Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM). Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2023; 21:2018-2034. [PMID: 36968017 PMCID: PMC10030913 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2023.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
The cell as a system of many components, governed by the laws of physics and chemistry drives molecular functions having an impact on the spatial organization of these systems and vice versa. Since the relationship between structure and function is an almost universal rule not only in biology, appropriate methods are required to parameterize the relationship between the structure and function of biomolecules and their networks, the mechanisms of the processes in which they are involved, and the mechanisms of regulation of these processes. Single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), which we focus on here, offers a significant advantage for the quantitative parametrization of molecular organization: it provides matrices of coordinates of fluorescently labeled biomolecules that can be directly subjected to advanced mathematical analytical procedures without the need for laborious and sometimes misleading image processing. Here, we propose mathematical tools for comprehensive quantitative computer data analysis of SMLM point patterns that include Ripley distance frequency analysis, persistent homology analysis, persistent 'imaging', principal component analysis and co-localization analysis. The application of these methods is explained using artificial datasets simulating different, potentially possible and interpretatively important situations. Illustrative analyses of real complex biological SMLM data are presented to emphasize the applicability of the proposed algorithms. This manuscript demonstrated the extraction of features and parameters quantifying the influence of chromatin (re)organization on genome function, offering a novel approach to study chromatin architecture at the nanoscale. However, the ability to adapt the proposed algorithms to analyze essentially any molecular organizations, e.g., membrane receptors or protein trafficking in the cytosol, offers broad flexibility of use.

Myo19 tethers mitochondria to endoplasmic reticulum-associated actin to promote mitochondrial fission. J Cell Sci 2023; 136:jcs260612. [PMID: 36744380 PMCID: PMC10022680 DOI: 10.1242/jcs.260612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial homeostasis requires a dynamic balance of fission and fusion. The actin cytoskeleton promotes fission, and we found that the mitochondrially localized myosin, myosin 19 (Myo19), is integral to this process. Myo19 knockdown induced mitochondrial elongation, whereas Myo19 overexpression induced fragmentation. This mitochondrial fragmentation was blocked by a Myo19 mutation predicted to inhibit ATPase activity and strong actin binding but not by mutations predicted to affect the working stroke of the motor that preserve ATPase activity. Super-resolution imaging indicated a dispersed localization of Myo19 on mitochondria, which we found to be dependent on metaxins. These observations suggest that Myo19 acts as a dynamic actin-binding tether that facilitates mitochondrial fragmentation. Myo19-driven fragmentation was blocked by depletion of either the CAAX splice variant of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-anchored formin INF2 or the mitochondrially localized F-actin nucleator Spire1C (a splice variant of Spire1), which together polymerize actin at sites of mitochondria-ER contact for fission. These observations imply that Myo19 promotes fission by stabilizing mitochondria-ER contacts; we used a split-luciferase system to demonstrate a reduction in these contacts following Myo19 depletion. Our data support a model in which Myo19 tethers mitochondria to ER-associated actin to promote mitochondrial fission.
