Abstract
Understanding voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels is significant since they generate action potential. Nav channels consist of a pore domain (PD) and a voltage sensor domain (VSD). All resolved Nav structures in different gating states have VSDs that tightly interact with PDs; however, it is unclear whether VSDs attach to PDs during gating under physiological conditions. Here, we reconstituted three different voltage-dependent NavAb, which is cloned from Arcobacter butzleri, into a lipid membrane and observed their structural dynamics by high-speed atomic force microscopy on a sub-second timescale in the steady state. Surprisingly, VSDs dissociated from PDs in the mutant in the resting state and further dimerized to form cross-links between channels. This dimerization would occur at a realistic channel density, offering a potential explanation for the facilitation of positive cooperativity of channel activity in the rising phase of the action potential.

Abstract
Light-harvesting (LH) complexes in photosynthetic organisms absorb photons within limited wavelength ranges over a broad solar spectrum. Extension of the LH wavelength has been realized by attaching artificial fluorophores to LH complexes (biohybrid LH complexes) for complementing the limited-wavelength regions. However, how efficiently such fluorophores in biohybrid LH complexes function to drive the photocatalytic reaction center (RC) has not been quantitatively evaluated, specifically in comparison with native LH antenna complexes. In this study, we prepared various biohybrid LH1-RC complexes (from Rhodopseudomonas palustris), to quantitatively evaluate the LH activity of the attached external chromophores through a photocurrent generation reaction by LH1-RC on an electrode. For a direct comparison of the LH activity among the LH chromophores that were examined, we introduced the k1 term, which represents the extent of the functional coupling of LH and the photochemical reactions in the RC. We determined that the hydrophobic fluorophore ATTO647N attached to LH1 possesses the highest LH activity among the examined hydrophilic fluorophores such as Alexa647, and its activity is comparable to that of native LH1(-RC). The LH activity of LH2 (from Rhodoblastus acidophilus strain 10050) and its biohybrid LH2s were examined for the comprehensive assessment of their LH activity.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity. It is a dodecameric serine/threonine kinase that has been highly conserved across metazoans for over a million years. Despite the extensive knowledge of the mechanisms underlying CaMKII activation, its behavior at the molecular level has remained unobserved. In this study, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy to visualize the activity-dependent structural dynamics of rat/hydra/C. elegans CaMKII with nanometer resolution. Our imaging results revealed that the dynamic behavior is dependent on CaM binding and subsequent pT286 phosphorylation. Among the species studies, only rat CaMKIIα with pT286/pT305/pT306 exhibited kinase domain oligomerization. Furthermore, we revealed that the sensitivity of CaMKII to PP2A in the three species differs, with rat, C. elegans, and hydra being less dephosphorylated in that order. The evolutionarily acquired features of mammalian CaMKIIα-specific structural arrangement and phosphatase tolerance may differentiate neuronal function between mammals and other species.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1) is a heat and capsaicin receptor that allows cations to permeate and cause pain. As the molecular basis for temperature sensing, the heat capacity (ΔCp) model [D. E. Clapham, C. Miller, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 108, 19492-19497 (2011).] has been proposed and experimentally supported. Theoretically, heat capacity is proportional to a variance in enthalpy, presumably related to structural fluctuation; however, the fluctuation of TRPV1 has not been directly visualized. In this study, we directly visualized single-molecule structural fluctuations of the TRPV1 channels in a lipid bilayer with the ligands resiniferatoxin (agonist, 1,000 times hotter than capsaicin) and capsazepine (antagonist) by high-speed atomic force microscopy. We observed the structural fluctuations of TRPV1 in an apo state and found that RTX binding enhances structural fluctuations, while CPZ binding suppresses fluctuations. These ligand-dependent differences in structural fluctuation would play a key role in the gating of TRPV1.

Abstract
Programmable DNA binding and cleavage by CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized the life sciences. However, the off-target cleavage observed in DNA sequences with some homology to the target still represents a major limitation for a more widespread use of Cas9 in biology and medicine. For this reason, complete understanding of the dynamics of DNA binding, interrogation and cleavage by Cas9 is crucial to improve the efficiency of genome editing. Here, we use high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to investigate Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 (SaCas9) and its dynamics of DNA binding and cleavage. Upon binding to single-guide RNA (sgRNA), SaCas9 forms a close bilobed structure that transiently and flexibly adopts also an open configuration. The SaCas9-mediated DNA cleavage is characterized by release of cleaved DNA and immediate dissociation, confirming that SaCas9 operates as a multiple turnover endonuclease. According to present knowledge, the process of searching for target DNA is mainly governed by three-dimensional diffusion. Independent HS-AFM experiments show a potential long-range attractive interaction between SaCas9-sgRNA and its target DNA. The interaction precedes the formation of the stable ternary complex and is observed exclusively in the vicinity of the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM), up to distances of several nanometers. The direct visualization of the process by sequential topographic images suggests that SaCas9-sgRNA binds to the target sequence first, while the following binding of the PAM is accompanied by local DNA bending and formation of the stable complex. Collectively, our HS-AFM data reveal a potential and unexpected behavior of SaCas9 during the search for DNA targets.

Abstract
Nucleosome dynamics, such as nucleosome sliding and DNA unwrapping, are important for gene regulation in eukaryotic chromatin. H2A.Z, a variant of histone H2A that is highly evolutionarily conserved, participates in gene regulation by forming unstable multipositioned nucleosomes in vivo and in vitro. However, the subsecond dynamics of this unstable nucleosome have not been directly visualized under physiological conditions. Here, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to directly visualize the subsecond dynamics of human H2A.Z.1-nucleosomes. HS-AFM videos show nucleosome sliding along 4 nm of DNA within 0.3 s in any direction. This sliding was also visualized in an H2A.Z.1 mutant, in which the C-terminal half was replaced by the corresponding canonical H2A amino acids, indicating that the interaction between the N-terminal region of H2A.Z.1 and the DNA is responsible for nucleosome sliding. These results may reveal the relationship between nucleosome dynamics and gene regulation by histone H2A.Z.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides that act by disrupting bacterial membranes are attractive agents for treating drug-resistant bacteria. This study investigates a membrane-disrupting peptide mimic made of a cyclic oligosaccharide cyclodextrin scaffold that can be chemically polyfunctionalized. An antibacterial functional group on the peptide was simplified to an alkylamino group that combines cationic and hydrophobic moieties, the former to interact with the anionic bacterial membrane and the latter with the membrane interior. The cyclodextrins equipped with eight alkylamino groups on the molecules using a poly-click reaction exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including drug-resistant pathogens such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Several lines of evidence showed that these agents disrupt bacterial membranes, leading to rapid bacterial cell death. The resulting membrane perturbation was directly visualized using high-speed atomic force microscopy imaging. In Gram-negative bacteria, the membrane-permeabilizing action of these derivatives allowed the entry of co-treated traditional antibiotics, which were then active against these bacteria.

Abstract
Fast and selective recognition of molecules at the nanometer scale without labeling is a much desired but still challenging goal to achieve. Here, we show the use of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) for real-time and real-space recognition of unlabeled membrane receptors using tips conjugated with small synthetic macrocyclic peptides. The single-molecule recognition method is validated by experiments on the human hepatocyte growth factor receptor (hMET), which selectively binds to the macrocyclic peptide aMD4. By testing and comparing aMD4 synthesized with linkers of different lengths and rigidities, we maximize the interaction between the functionalized tip and hMET added to both a mica surface and supported lipid bilayers. Phase contrast imaging by HS-AFM enables us to discriminate nonlabeled hMET against the murine MET homologue, which does not bind to aMD4. Moreover, using ligands and linkers of small size, we achieve minimal deterioration of the spatial resolution in simultaneous topographic imaging. The versatility of macrocyclic peptides in detecting unlimited types of membrane receptors with high selectivity and the fast imaging by HS-AFM broaden the range of future applications of this method for molecular recognition without labeling.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the main second messengers involved in signaling pathways controlling cell metabolism. During tumorigenesis H2O2 is generated on the extracellular space by membrane-associated NADPH oxidases and superoxide dismutase to stimulate cell proliferation and preservation of the transformed state. Accordingly, a characteristic feature of malignant cells is overproduction of H2O2 in the extracellular milieu and the subsequent absorption in the cytosol. Since the most significant gradients of endogenous extracellular H2O2 can be observed only in a very shallow region of the fluid in contact with the plasma membrane, we show here the use of a newly designed nanosensor anchored to the outer cell surface and capable of quantifying H2O2 at nanometer distance from the membrane proteins responsible for its production. This biosensor is built upon gold nanoparticles functionalized with a H2O2-sensitive boronate compound that is probed using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The highly localized information obtained on the cell surface by SERS analysis is combined with analytical methods of redox biology to estimate the associated levels of intracellular H2O2 responsible for cell signaling. The results obtained from A549 lung cancer cell line show localized spots on the cell surface at concentration up to 12 μM, associated to intracellular concentration up to 5.1 nM.

Abstract
Agitoxin-2 (AgTx2) from scorpion venom is a potent blocker of K+ channels. The docking model has been elucidated, but it remains unclear whether binding dynamics are described by a two-state model (AgTx2-bound and AgTx2-unbound) or a more complicated mechanism, such as induced fit or conformational selection. Here, we observed the binding dynamics of AgTx2 to the KcsA channel using high-speed atomic force microscopy. From images of repeated binding and dissociation of AgTx2 to the channel, single-molecule kinetic analyses revealed that the affinity of the channel for AgTx2 increased during persistent binding and decreased during persistent dissociation. We propose a four-state model, including high- and low-affinity states of the channel, with relevant rate constants. An induced-fit pathway was dominant and accelerated binding by 400 times. This is the first analytical imaging of scorpion toxin binding in real time, which is applicable to various biological dynamics including channel ligands, DNA-modifier proteins, and antigen-antibody complexes.

Abstract
Although interactions between lipids and membrane proteins (MPs) have been considered crucially important for understanding the functions of lipids, lack of useful and convincing experimental methods has hampered the analysis of the interactions. Here, we developed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based concise method for quantitative analysis of lipid-MP interactions, coating the sensor chip surface with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with C6-chain. To develop this method, we used bacteriorhodopsin (bR) as an MP, and examined its interaction with various types of lipids. The merits of using C6-SAM-modified sensor chip are as follows: (1) alkyl-chains of SAM confer a better immobilization of MPs because of the efficient preconcentration due to hydrophobic contacts; (2) SAM provides immobilized MPs with a partial membranous environment, which is important for the stabilization of MPs; and (3) a thinner C6-SAM layer (1 nm) compared with MP size forces the MP to bulge outward from the SAM surface, allowing extraneously injected lipids to be accessible to the hydrophobic transmembrane regions. Actually, the amount of bR immobilized on C6-SAM is 10 times higher than that on a hydrophilic CM5 sensor chip, and AFM observations confirmed that bR molecules are exposed on the SAM surface. Of the lipids tested, S-TGA-1, a halobacterium-derived glycolipid, had the highest specificity to bR with a nanomolar dissociation constant. This is consistent with the reported co-crystal structure that indicates the formation of several intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore, we not only reproduced the specific lipid-bR recognition, but also succeeded in its quantitative evaluation, demonstrating the validity and utility of this method.

Abstract
Amphidinol 3 (AM3) is an anti-fungal polyene extracted from a marine dinoflagellate. Here, we examined the ion channel activity and membrane-embedded structure of AM3 using a lipid bilayer method and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AM3 exhibited large-conductance (~1 nS) and non-selective single-channel activity only when sterols were present in the membrane leaflet of the AM3-added side. The variable conductance suggests the formation of a multimeric barrel-stave pore. At high AM3 concentrations, giant-conductance “jumbo” channels (~40 nS) emerged. AFM revealed a thicker raft-like membrane phase with the appearance of a wrinkled surface, in which phase pores (diameter: ~10 nm) were observed. The flip-flop of ergosterol occurred only after the appearance of the jumbo channel, indicating that the jumbo channel induced a continuity between the outer and inner leaflets of the membrane: a feature characteristic of toroidal-like pores. Thus, AM3 forms different types of sterol-aided polymorphic channels in a concentration dependent manner.

Abstract
Here, we have developed a method of oriented reconstitution of the KcsA potassium channel amenable to high-resolution AFM imaging. The solubilized full-length KcsA channels with histidine-tagged (His-tag) C-terminal ends were attached to a Ni2+-coated mica surface, and then detergent-destabilized liposomes were added to fill the interchannel space. AFM revealed that the membrane-embedded KcsA channels were oriented with their extracellular faces upward, seen as a tetrameric square shape. This orientation was corroborated by the visible binding of a peptide scorpion toxin, agitoxin-2. To observe the cytoplasmic side of the channel, a His-tag was inserted into the extracellular loop, and the oppositely oriented channels provided wholly different images. In either orientation, the channels were individually dispersed at acidic pH, whereas they were self-assembled at neutral pH, indicating that the oriented channels are allowed to diffuse in the membrane. This method is readily applicable to membrane proteins in general for AFM imaging.

Abstract
The KcsA potassium channel is a prototypical channel of bacterial origin, and the mechanism underlying the pH-dependent gating has been studied extensively. With the high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM), we have resolved functional open and closed gates of the KcsA channel under the membrane-embedded condition. Here we surprisingly found that the pH-dependent gating of the KcsA channels was associated with clustering-dispersion dynamics. At neutral pH, the resting, closed channels were coalesced, forming nanoclusters. At acidic pH, the open-gated channels were dispersed as singly isolated channels. Time-lapse AFM revealed reversible clustering-dispersion transitions upon pH changes. At acidic equilibrium, a small fraction of the channels was nanoclustered, in which the gate was apparently closed. Thus, it is suggested that opening of the gate and the dispersion are tightly linked. The interplay between the intramolecular conformational change and the supramolecular clustering-dispersion dynamics provides insights into understanding of unprecedented functional cooperativity of channels.

Abstract
We designed novel bilayer-forming amphiphiles based on the cyclic oligo-Asp-based peptide gemini (PG) surfactants cr-D2C12 and cr-D3C12, which consist of -Cys(Asp)nCys- (n = 2 or 3) as a core peptide and two Cys residues containing a dodecylamidomethyl group. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy measurements revealed the formation of spherical bilayer membranes that could incorporate the light-harvesting antenna complex 2 (LH2) from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila . Furthermore, this proteoliposome-like conjugate could be assembled onto cationized glass and mica to form planar bilayer membranes incorporating LH2. Using atomic force microscopy, we observed LH2 protruding (ca. 1.2-1.5 nm) from flat terraces of the planar bilayer membranes formed from cr-D2C12 or cr-D3C12. Thus, our designed PG surfactants are a new class of bilayer-forming amphiphiles that may be applied to the study of various membrane proteins.

Abstract
To reveal the structure-function relationship of membrane proteins, a membrane environment is often used to establish a suitable platform for assembly, functioning, and measurements. The control of the orientation of membrane proteins is the main challenge. In this study, the electron conductivity and photocurrent of a light-harvesting/reaction center core complex (LH1-RC) embedded in a lipid membrane were measured using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) and photoelectrochemical analysis. AFM topographs showed that LH1-RC molecules were well-orientated, with their H-subunits toward the membrane surface. Rectified conductivity was observed in LH1-RC under precise control of the applied force on the probe electrode (<600 pN). LH1-RC embedded in a membrane generated photocurrent upon irradiation when assembled on an electrode. The observed action spectrum was consistent with the absorption spectrum of LH1-RC. The control of the orientation of LH1-RC by lipid membranes provided well-defined conductivity and photocurrent.

Abstract
Crystallographic studies of channel proteins have provided insight into the molecular mechanisms of ion channels, even though these structures are obtained in the absence of the membrane and some structural portions have remained unsolved. Here we report the gating structure of the membrane-embedded KcsA potassium channel using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The activation gate of the KcsA channel is located on the intracellular side, and the cytoplasmic domain was truncated to clear the view of this location. Once opened, the individual subunits in the tetramer were resolved with the pore open at the center. Furthermore, AFM was able to capture the previously unsolved bulge helix at the entrance. A molecular dynamics simulation revealed that the bulge helices fluctuated dramatically at the open entryway. This dynamic behavior was observed as vigorous open-channel noise in the single-channel current recordings. The role of the bulge helices in the open gate structure is discussed.

Abstract
The construction and structural analysis of a tethered planar lipid bilayer containing bacterial photosynthetic membrane proteins, light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2), and light-harvesting core complex (LH1-RC) is described and establishes this system as an experimental platform for their functional analysis. The planar lipid bilayer containing LH2 and/or LH1-RC complexes was successfully formed on an avidin-immobilized coverglass via an avidin-biotin linkage. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that a smooth continuous membrane was formed there. Lateral diffusion of these membrane proteins, observed by a fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), is discussed in terms of the membrane architecture. Energy transfer from LH2 to LH1-RC within the tethered membrane was observed by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, indicating that the tethered membrane can mimic the natural situation.

Abstract
Two types of photosynthetic membrane proteins, the peripheral antenna complex (LH2) and the core antenna/reaction center complex (LH1-RC), play an essential role in the primary process of purple bacterial photosynthesis, that is, capturing light energy, transferring it to the RC where it is used in subsequent charge separation. Establishment of experimental platforms is required to understand the function of the supramolecular assembly of LH2 and LH1-RC molecules into arrays. In this study, we assembled LH2 and LH1-RC arrays into domain-structured planar lipid bilayers placed on a coverglass using stepwise combinations of vesicle-to-planar membrane formation and vesicle fusion methods. First, it was shown that assembly of LH2 and LH1-RC in planar lipid bilayers, through vesicle-to-planar membrane formation, could be confirmed by absorption spectroscopy and high resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM). Second, formation of a planar membrane incorporating LH2 molecules made by the vesicle fusion method was corroborated by AFM together with quantitative analysis by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). By combining planar membrane formation and vesicle fusion, in a stepwise manner, LH2 and LH1-RC were successfully organized in the domain-structured planar lipid membrane. This methodology for construction of LH2/LH1-RC assemblies will be a useful experimental platform with which to investigate energy transfer from LH2 to LH1-RC where the relative arrangement of these two complexes can be controlled.
