Abstract
State-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy allows researchers to spatially resolve single proteins in dense clusters. However, accurate quantification of protein organization and stoichiometries requires a general method to evaluate absolute binder labeling efficiency, which is currently unavailable. Here we introduce a universally applicable approach that uses a reference tag fused to a target protein of interest. By attaching high-affinity binders, such as antibodies or nanobodies, to both the reference tag and the target protein, and then employing DNA-barcoded sequential super-resolution imaging, we can correlate the location of the reference tag with the target molecule binder. This approach facilitates the precise quantification of labeling efficiency at the single-protein level.

Abstract
To understand biological processes, it is necessary to reveal the molecular heterogeneity of cells by gaining access to the location and interaction of all biomolecules. Significant advances were achieved by super-resolution microscopy, but such methods are still far from reaching the multiplexing capacity of proteomics. Here, we introduce secondary label-based unlimited multiplexed DNA-PAINT (SUM-PAINT), a high-throughput imaging method that is capable of achieving virtually unlimited multiplexing at better than 15 nm resolution. Using SUM-PAINT, we generated 30-plex single-molecule resolved datasets in neurons and adapted omics-inspired analysis for data exploration. This allowed us to reveal the complexity of synaptic heterogeneity, leading to the discovery of a distinct synapse type. We not only provide a resource for researchers, but also an integrated acquisition and analysis workflow for comprehensive spatial proteomics at single-protein resolution.

Abstract
The ability to express transgenes at specified levels is critical for understanding cellular behaviors, and for applications in gene and cell therapy. Transfection, viral vectors, and other gene delivery methods produce varying protein expression levels, with limited quantitative control, while targeted knock-in and stable selection are inefficient and slow. Active compensation mechanisms can improve precision, but the need for additional proteins or lack of tunability have prevented their widespread use. Here, we introduce a toolkit of compact, synthetic miRNA-based circuit modules that provide precise, tunable control of transgenes across diverse cell types. These circuits, termed DIMMERs (Dosage-Invariant miRNA-Mediated Expression Regulators) use multivalent miRNA regulatory interactions within an incoherent feed-forward loop architecture to achieve nearly uniform protein expression over more than two orders of magnitude variation in underlying gene dosages or transcription rates. They also allow coarse and fine control of expression, and are portable, functioning across diverse cell types. In addition, a heuristic miRNA design algorithm enables the creation of orthogonal circuit variants that independently control multiple genes in the same cell. These circuits allowed dramatically improved CRISPR imaging, and super-resolution imaging of EGFR receptors with transient transfections. The toolbox provided here should allow precise, tunable, dosage-invariant expression for research, gene therapy, and other biotechnology applications.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) regulate immune priming by expressing programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and PD-L2, which interact with the inhibitory receptor PD-1 on activated T cells. PD-1 signaling regulates T cell effector functions and limits autoimmunity. Tumor cells can hijack this pathway by overexpressing PD-L1 to suppress antitumor T cell responses. Blocking this inhibitory pathway has been beneficial for the treatment of various cancer types, although only a subset of patients responds. A deepened understanding of the spatial organization and molecular interplay between PD-1 and its ligands may inform the design of more efficacious nanotherapeutics. We visualized the natural molecular PD-L1 organization on DCs by DNA-PAINT microscopy and created a template to engineer DNA-based nanoclusters presenting PD-1 at defined valencies, distances, and patterns. These multivalent nanomaterials were examined for their cellular binding and blocking ability. Our data show that PD-1 nano-organization has profound effects on ligand interaction and that the valency of PD-1 molecules modulates the effectiveness in restoring T cell function. This work highlights the power of spatially controlled functional materials to unravel the importance of multivalent patterns in the PD-1 pathway and presents alternative design strategies for immune-engineering.

Abstract
Spore-forming bacteria have two distinct division modes: sporulation and vegetative division. The placement of the foundational division machinery component (Z-ring) within the division plane is contingent on the division mode. However, investigating if and how division is performed differently between sporulating and vegetative cells remains challenging, particularly at the nanoscale. Here, we use DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy to compare the 3D assembly and distribution patterns of key division proteins SepF, ZapA, DivIVA, and FtsZ. We determine that ZapA and SepF placement within the division plane mimics that of the Z-ring in vegetative and sporulating cells. We find that DivIVA assemblies differ between vegetative and sporulating cells. Furthermore, we reveal that SepF assembles into ~50-nm arcs independent of division mode. We propose a nanoscale model in which symmetric or asymmetric placement of the Z-ring and early divisome proteins is a defining characteristic of vegetative or sporulating cells, respectively, and regulation of septal thickness differs between division modes.

Abstract
The spatial resolution of conventional light microscopy is restricted by the diffraction limit to hundreds of nanometers. Super-resolution microscopy enables single digit nanometer resolution by circumventing the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy. DNA point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) belongs to the family of single-molecule localization super-resolution approaches. Unique features of DNA-PAINT are that it allows for sub-nanometer resolution, spectrally unlimited multiplexing, proximity detection, and quantitative counting of target molecules. Here, we describe prerequisites for efficient DNA-PAINT microscopy.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a central component of the innate immune system. Its activation leads to formation of the ASC speck, a supramolecular assembly of the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC. Different models, based on ASC overexpression, have been proposed for the structure of the ASC speck. Using dual-color 3D super-resolution imaging (dSTORM and DNA-PAINT), we visualized the ASC speck structure following NLRP3 inflammasome activation using endogenous ASC expression. A complete structure was only obtainable by labeling with both anti-ASC antibodies and nanobodies. The complex varies in diameter between ∼800 and 1000 nm, and is composed of a dense core with emerging filaments. Dual-color confocal fluorescence microscopy indicated that the ASC speck does not colocalize with the microtubule-organizing center at late time points after Nigericin stimulation. From super-resolution images of whole cells, the ASC specks were sorted into a pseudo-time sequence indicating that they become denser but not larger during formation.

Abstract
DNA-PAINT based single-particle tracking (DNA-PAINT-SPT) has recently significantly enhanced observation times in in vitro SPT experiments by overcoming the constraints of fluorophore photobleaching. However, with the reported implementation, only a single target can be imaged and the technique cannot be applied straight to live cell imaging. Here we report on leveraging this technique from a proof-of-principle implementation to a useful tool for the SPT community by introducing simultaneous live cell dual-color DNA-PAINT-SPT for quantifying protein dimerization and tracking proteins in living cell membranes, demonstrating its improved performance over single-dye SPT.

Abstract
Fluorescence microscopy, with its molecular specificity, is one of the major characterization methods used in the life sciences to understand complex biological systems. Super-resolution approaches1-6 can achieve resolution in cells in the range of 15 to 20 nm, but interactions between individual biomolecules occur at length scales below 10 nm and characterization of intramolecular structure requires Ångström resolution. State-of-the-art super-resolution implementations7-14 have demonstrated spatial resolutions down to 5 nm and localization precisions of 1 nm under certain in vitro conditions. However, such resolutions do not directly translate to experiments in cells, and Ångström resolution has not been demonstrated to date. Here we introdue a DNA-barcoding method, resolution enhancement by sequential imaging (RESI), that improves the resolution of fluorescence microscopy down to the Ångström scale using off-the-shelf fluorescence microscopy hardware and reagents. By sequentially imaging sparse target subsets at moderate spatial resolutions of >15 nm, we demonstrate that single-protein resolution can be achieved for biomolecules in whole intact cells. Furthermore, we experimentally resolve the DNA backbone distance of single bases in DNA origami with Ångström resolution. We use our method in a proof-of-principle demonstration to map the molecular arrangement of the immunotherapy target CD20 in situ in untreated and drug-treated cells, which opens possibilities for assessing the molecular mechanisms of targeted immunotherapy. These observations demonstrate that, by enabling intramolecular imaging under ambient conditions in whole intact cells, RESI closes the gap between super-resolution microscopy and structural biology studies and thus delivers information key to understanding complex biological systems.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy has revolutionized how researchers characterize samples in the life sciences in the last decades. Amongst methods employing single-molecule localization microscopy, DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) is a relatively easy-to-implement method that uses the programmable and repetitive binding of dye-labeled DNA imager strands to their respective docking strands. Recently developed Peptide-PAINT replaces the interaction of oligonucleotides by short coiled-coil peptide sequences leading to an improved labeling scheme by reducing linkage errors to target proteins. However, only one coiled-coil pair is currently available for Peptide-PAINT, preventing multiplexed imaging. In this study, the initial Peptide-PAINT E/K coil is improved by modifying its length for optimized binding kinetics leading to improved localization precisions. Additionally, an orthogonal P3/P4 coil pair is introduced, enabling 2-plex Peptide-PAINT imaging and benchmarking its performance and orthogonality using single-molecule and DNA origami assays. Finally, the P3/P4 peptide pair is used to image the human epidermal growth factor receptors 2 (ErbB2/Her2) in 2D and 3D at the single receptor level using genetically encoded peptide tags.

Abstract
Antigen binding by B cell receptors (BCR) on cognate B cells elicits a response that eventually leads to production of antibodies. However, it is unclear what the distribution of BCRs is on the naïve B cell and how antigen binding triggers the first step in BCR signaling. Using DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy, we find that most BCRs are present as monomers, dimers, or loosely associated clusters on resting B cells, with a nearest-neighbor inter-Fab distance of 20-30 nm. We leverage a Holliday junction nanoscaffold to engineer monodisperse model antigens with precision-controlled affinity and valency, and find that the antigen exerts agonistic effects on the BCR as a function of increasing affinity and avidity. Monovalent macromolecular antigens can activate the BCR at high concentrations, whereas micromolecular antigens cannot, demonstrating that antigen binding does not directly drive activation. Based on this, we propose a BCR activation model determined by the antigen footprint.

Abstract
Rotaviruses transcribe 11 distinct RNAs that must be co-packaged prior to their replication to make an infectious virion. During infection, nontranslating rotavirus transcripts accumulate in cytoplasmic protein-RNA granules known as viroplasms that support segmented genome assembly and replication via a poorly understood mechanism. Here, we analysed the RV transcriptome by combining DNA-barcoded smFISH of rotavirus-infected cells. Rotavirus RNA stoichiometry in viroplasms appears to be distinct from the cytoplasmic transcript distribution, with the largest transcript being the most enriched in viroplasms, suggesting a selective RNA enrichment mechanism. While all 11 types of transcripts accumulate in viroplasms, their stoichiometry significantly varied between individual viroplasms. Accumulation of transcripts requires the presence of 3' untranslated terminal regions and viroplasmic localisation of the viral polymerase VP1, consistent with the observed lack of polyadenylated transcripts in viroplasms. Our observations reveal similarities between viroplasms and other cytoplasmic RNP granules and identify viroplasmic proteins as drivers of viral RNA assembly during viroplasm formation.

Abstract
Sarcomeres are the force-producing units of all striated muscles. Their nanoarchitecture critically depends on the large titin protein, which in vertebrates spans from the sarcomeric Z-disc to the M-band and hence links actin and myosin filaments stably together. This ensures sarcomeric integrity and determines the length of vertebrate sarcomeres. However, the instructive role of titins for sarcomeric architecture outside of vertebrates is not as well understood. Here, we used a series of nanobodies, the Drosophila titin nanobody toolbox, recognising specific domains of the two Drosophila titin homologs Sallimus and Projectin to determine their precise location in intact flight muscles. By combining nanobodies with DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy, we found that, similar to vertebrate titin, Sallimus bridges across the flight muscle I-band, whereas Projectin is located at the beginning of the A-band. Interestingly, the ends of both proteins overlap at the I-band/A-band border, revealing a staggered organisation of the two Drosophila titin homologs. This architecture may help to stably anchor Sallimus at the myosin filament and hence ensure efficient force transduction during flight.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy methods enable the visualization of biological processes on the level of a few nanometers. However, the application of these techniques in biological systems is limited by the availability of small affinity reagents. Slow off-rate-modified aptamers as nucleic acid analogues to antibodies have been successfully applied to improve the resolution and quantification of DNA-PAINT. In this chapter, we describe a protocol for using SOMAmers as labeling reagents for super-resolution microscopy.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy super-resolution methods rely on stochastic blinking/binding events, which often occur multiple times from each emitter over the course of data acquisition. Typically, the blinking/binding events from each emitter are treated as independent events, without an attempt to assign them to a particular emitter. Here, we describe a Bayesian method of inferring the positions of the tagged molecules by exploring the possible grouping and combination of localizations from multiple blinking/binding events. The results are position estimates of the tagged molecules that have improved localization precision and facilitate nanoscale structural insights. The Bayesian framework uses the localization precisions to learn the statistical distribution of the number of blinking/binding events per emitter and infer the number and position of emitters. We demonstrate the method on a range of synthetic data with various emitter densities, DNA origami constructs and biological structures using DNA-PAINT and dSTORM data. We show that under some experimental conditions it is possible to achieve sub-nanometer precision.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a widespread and highly virulent pathogen that can cause superficial and invasive infections. Interactions between S. aureus surface receptors and the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin mediate the bacterial invasion of host cells and is implicated in the colonization of medical implant surfaces. In this study, we investigate the role of distribution of both fibronectin and cellular receptors on the adhesion of S. aureus to interfaces as a model for primary adhesion at tissue interfaces or biomaterials. We present fibronectin in patches of systematically varied size (100-1000 nm) in a background of protein and bacteria rejecting chemistry based on PLL-g-PEG and studied S. aureus adhesion under flow. We developed a single molecule imaging assay for localizing fibronectin binding receptors on the surface of S. aureus via the super-resolution DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) technique. Our results indicate that S. aureus adhesion to fibronectin biointerfaces is regulated by the size of available ligand patterns, with an adhesion threshold of 300 nm and larger. DNA-PAINT was used to visualize fibronectin binding receptor organization in situ at ∼7 nm localization precision and with a surface density of 38-46 μm-2, revealing that the engagement of two or more receptors is required for strong S. aureus adhesion to fibronectin biointerfaces.

Abstract
The centrosome provides an intracellular anchor for the cytoskeleton, regulating cell division, cell migration, and cilia formation. We used spatial proteomics to elucidate protein interaction networks at the centrosome of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) and neurons. Centrosome-associated proteins were largely cell type-specific, with protein hubs involved in RNA dynamics. Analysis of neurodevelopmental disease cohorts identified a significant overrepresentation of NSC centrosome proteins with variants in patients with periventricular heterotopia (PH). Expressing the PH-associated mutant pre-mRNA-processing factor 6 (PRPF6) reproduced the periventricular misplacement in the developing mouse brain, highlighting missplicing of transcripts of a microtubule-associated kinase with centrosomal location as essential for the phenotype. Collectively, cell type-specific centrosome interactomes explain how genetic variants in ubiquitous proteins may convey brain-specific phenotypes.

Abstract
Several variants of multicolor single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) have been developed to resolve the spatial relationship of nanoscale structures in biological samples. The oligonucleotide-based SMLM approach "DNA-PAINT" robustly achieves nanometer localization precision and can be used to count binding sites within nanostructures. However, multicolor DNA-PAINT has primarily been realized by "Exchange-PAINT", which requires sequential exchange of the imaging solution and thus leads to extended acquisition times. To alleviate the need for fluid exchange and to speed up the acquisition of current multichannel DNA-PAINT, we here present a novel approach that combines DNA-PAINT with simultaneous multicolor acquisition using spectral demixing (SD). By using newly designed probes and a novel multichannel registration procedure, we achieve simultaneous multicolor SD-DNA-PAINT with minimal crosstalk. We demonstrate high localization precision (3-6 nm) and multicolor registration of dual- and triple-color SD-DNA-PAINT by resolving patterns on DNA origami nanostructures and cellular structures.

Abstract
Super-resolution (SR) microscopy techniques have been advancing the understanding of neuronal protein networks and interactions. Unraveling the arrangement of proteins with molecular resolution provided novel insights into neuron cytoskeleton structure and actin polymerization dynamics in synaptic spines. Recent improvements in quantitative SR imaging have been applied to synaptic protein clusters and with improved multiplexing technology, the interplay of multiple protein partners in synaptic active zones has been elucidated. While all SR techniques come with benefits and drawbacks, true molecular quantification is a major challenge with the most complex requirements for labeling reagents and careful experimental design. In this perspective, we provide an overview of quantitative SR multiplexing and discuss in greater detail the quantification and multiplexing capabilities of the SR technique DNA-PAINT. Using predictable binding kinetics of short oligonucleotides, DNA-PAINT provides two unique approaches to address multiplexed molecular quantification: qPAINT and Exchange-PAINT. With precise and accurate quantification and spectrally unlimited multiplexing, DNA-PAINT offers an attractive route to unravel complex protein interaction networks in neurons. Finally, while the SR community has been pushing technological advances from an imaging technique perspective, the development of universally available, small, efficient, and quantitative labels remains a major challenge in the field.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has revolutionized light microscopy by enabling optical resolution down to a few nanometer. Yet, localization precision commonly does not suffice to visually resolve single subunits in molecular assemblies or multimeric complexes. Because each targeted molecule contributes localizations during image acquisition, molecular counting approaches to reveal the target copy numbers within localization clusters have been persistently proposed since the early days of SMLM, most of which rely on preliminary knowledge of the dye photophysics or on a calibration to a reference. Previously, we developed localization-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (lbFCS) as an absolute ensemble counting approach for the SMLM-variant DNA-PAINT (points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography), for the first time, to our knowledge, circumventing the necessity for reference calibrations. Here, we present an extended concept termed lbFCS+, which allows absolute counting of copy numbers for individual localization clusters in a single DNA-PAINT image. In lbFCS+, absolute counting of fluorescent loci contained in individual nanoscopic volumes is achieved via precise measurement of the local hybridization rates of the fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides ("imagers") employed in DNA-PAINT imaging. In proof-of-principle experiments on DNA origami nanostructures, we demonstrate the ability of lbFCS+ to truthfully determine molecular copy numbers and imager association and dissociation rates in well-separated localization clusters containing up to 10 docking strands. For N ≤ 4 target molecules, lbFCS+ is even able to resolve integers, providing the potential to study the composition of up to tetrameric molecular complexes. Furthermore, we show that lbFCS+ allows resolving heterogeneous binding dynamics, enabling the distinction of stochastically generated and a priori indistinguishable DNA assemblies. Beyond advancing quantitative DNA-PAINT imaging, we believe that lbFCS+ could find promising applications ranging from biosensing to DNA computing.

Abstract
DNA-based nanostructures are actively gaining interest as tools for biomedical and therapeutic applications following the recent development of protective coating strategies prolonging structural integrity in physiological conditions. For tailored biological action, these nanostructures are often functionalized with targeting or imaging labels using DNA base pairing. Only if these labels are accessible on the structure's surface will they be able to interact with their intended biological target. However, the accessibility of functional sites for different geometries and environments, specifically after the application of a protective coating, is currently not known. Here, we assay this accessibility on the level of single handle strands with two- and three-dimensional resolution using DNA-PAINT and show that the hybridization kinetics of top and bottom sides on the same nanostructure linked to a surface remain unaltered. We furthermore demonstrate that the functionality of the structures remains available after an oligolysine-PEG coating is applied, enabling bioassays where functionality and stability are imperative.

Abstract
RNA viruses induce the formation of subcellular organelles that provide microenvironments conducive to their replication. Here we show that replication factories of rotaviruses represent protein-RNA condensates that are formed via liquid-liquid phase separation of the viroplasm-forming proteins NSP5 and rotavirus RNA chaperone NSP2. Upon mixing, these proteins readily form condensates at physiologically relevant low micromolar concentrations achieved in the cytoplasm of virus-infected cells. Early infection stage condensates could be reversibly dissolved by 1,6-hexanediol, as well as propylene glycol that released rotavirus transcripts from these condensates. During the early stages of infection, propylene glycol treatments reduced viral replication and phosphorylation of the condensate-forming protein NSP5. During late infection, these condensates exhibited altered material properties and became resistant to propylene glycol, coinciding with hyperphosphorylation of NSP5. Some aspects of the assembly of cytoplasmic rotavirus replication factories mirror the formation of other ribonucleoprotein granules. Such viral RNA-rich condensates that support replication of multi-segmented genomes represent an attractive target for developing novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The design of dynamic, reconfigurable devices is crucial for the bottom-up construction of artificial biological systems. DNA can be used as an engineering material for the de-novo design of such dynamic devices. A self-assembled DNA origami switch is presented that uses the transition from double- to single-stranded DNA and vice versa to create and annihilate an entropic force that drives a reversible conformational change inside the switch. It is distinctively demonstrated that a DNA single-strand that is extended with 0.34 nm per nucleotide - the extension this very strand has in the double-stranded configuration - exerts a contractive force on its ends leading to large-scale motion. The operation of this type of switch is demonstrated via transmission electron microscopy, DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy and darkfield microscopy. The work illustrates the intricate and sometimes counter-intuitive forces that act in nanoscale physical systems that operate in fluids.

Abstract
The precise spatial localization of proteins in situ by super-resolution microscopy (SRM) demands their targeted labeling. Positioning reporter molecules as close as possible to the target remains a challenge in primary cells or tissues from patients that cannot be easily genetically modified. Indirect immunolabeling introduces relatively large linkage errors, whereas site-specific and stoichiometric labeling of primary antibodies relies on elaborate chemistries. In this study, we developed a simple two-step protocol to site-specifically attach reporters such as fluorophores or DNA handles to several immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies from different animal species and benchmarked the performance of these conjugates for 3D STORM (stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy) and DNA-PAINT (point accumulation in nanoscale topography). Glutamine labeling was restricted to two sites per IgG and saturable by exploiting microbial transglutaminase after removal of N-linked glycans. Precision measurements of 3D microtubule labeling shell dimensions in cell lines and human platelets showed that linkage errors from primary and secondary antibodies did not add up. Monte Carlo simulations of a geometric microtubule-IgG model were in quantitative agreement with STORM results. The simulations revealed that the flexible hinge between Fab and Fc segments effectively randomized the direction of the secondary antibody, while the restricted binding orientation of the primary antibody's Fab fragment accounted for most of the systematic offset between the reporter and α-tubulin. DNA-PAINT surprisingly yielded larger linkage errors than STORM, indicating unphysiological conformations of DNA-labeled IgGs. In summary, our cost-effective protocol for generating well-characterized primary IgG conjugates offers an easy route to precise SRM measurements in arbitrary fixed samples.

Abstract
Particle fusion for single molecule localization microscopy improves signal-to-noise ratio and overcomes underlabeling, but ignores structural heterogeneity or conformational variability. We present a-priori knowledge-free unsupervised classification of structurally different particles employing the Bhattacharya cost function as dissimilarity metric. We achieve 96% classification accuracy on mixtures of up to four different DNA-origami structures, detect rare classes of origami occuring at 2% rate, and capture variation in ellipticity of nuclear pore complexes.

Abstract
Improving labeling probes for state-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy is becoming of major importance. However, there is currently a lack of tools to quantitatively evaluate probe performance regarding efficiency, precision, and achievable resolution in an unbiased yet modular fashion. Herein, we introduce designer DNA origami structures combined with DNA-PAINT to overcome this issue and evaluate labeling efficiency, precision, and quantification using antibodies and nanobodies as exemplary labeling probes. Whereas current assessment of binders is mostly qualitative, e. g. based on an expected staining pattern, we herein present a quantitative analysis platform of the antigen labeling efficiency and achievable resolution, allowing researchers to choose the best performing binder. The platform can furthermore be readily adapted for discovery and precise quantification of a large variety of additional labeling probes.

Abstract
Single molecule localization microscopy offers in principle resolution down to the molecular level, but in practice this is limited primarily by incomplete fluorescent labeling of the structure. This missing information can be completed by merging information from many structurally identical particles. In this work, we present an approach for 3D single particle analysis in localization microscopy which hugely increases signal-to-noise ratio and resolution and enables determining the symmetry groups of macromolecular complexes. Our method does not require a structural template, and handles anisotropic localization uncertainties. We demonstrate 3D reconstructions of DNA-origami tetrahedrons, Nup96 and Nup107 subcomplexes of the nuclear pore complex acquired using multiple single molecule localization microscopy techniques, with their structural symmetry deducted from the data.

Abstract
Cell-extracellular matrix sensing plays a crucial role in cellular behavior and leads to the formation of a macromolecular protein complex called the focal adhesion. Despite their importance in cellular decision making, relatively little is known about cell-matrix interactions and the intracellular transduction of an initial ligand-receptor binding event on the single-molecule level. Here, we combine cRGD-ligand-decorated DNA tension sensors with DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy to study the mechanical engagement of single integrin receptors and the downstream influence on actin bundling. We uncover that integrin receptor clustering is governed by a non-random organization with complexes spaced at 20–30 nm distances. The DNA-based tension sensor and analysis framework provide powerful tools to study a multitude of receptor-ligand interactions where forces are involved in ligand-receptor binding. Relatively little is known about cell-matrix interactions and the intracellular transduction of an initial ligand-receptor binding event on the single-molecule level. Here authors combine ligand-decorated DNA tension sensors with DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy to study the mechanical engagement of single integrin receptors and the downstream influence on actin bundling.

Abstract
3D single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is an emerging superresolution method for structural cell biology, as it allows probing precise positions of proteins in cellular structures. In supercritical angle localization microscopy (SALM), z-positions of single fluorophores are extracted from the intensity of supercritical angle fluorescence, which strongly depends on their distance to the coverslip. Here, we realize the full potential of SALM and improve its z-resolution by more than four-fold compared to the state-of-the-art by directly splitting supercritical and undercritical emission, using an ultra-high NA objective, and applying fitting routines to extract precise intensities of single emitters. We demonstrate nanometer isotropic localization precision on DNA origami structures, and on clathrin coated vesicles and microtubules in cells, illustrating the potential of SALM for cell biology. Supercritical angle localisation microscopy (SALM) allows the z-positions of single fluorophores to be extracted from the intensity of supercritical angle fluorescence. Here the authors improve the z-resolution of SALM, and report nanometre isotropic localisation precision on DNA origami structures.

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) enabling the investigation of individual proteins on molecular scales has revolutionized how biological processes are analysed in cells. However, a major limitation of imaging techniques reaching single-protein resolution is the incomplete and often unknown labeling and detection efficiency of the utilized molecular probes. As a result, fundamental processes such as complex formation of distinct molecular species cannot be reliably quantified. Here, we establish a super-resolution microscopy framework, called quantitative single-molecule colocalization analysis (qSMCL), which permits the identification of absolute molecular quantities and thus the investigation of molecular-scale processes inside cells. The method combines multiplexed single-protein resolution imaging, automated cluster detection, in silico data simulation procedures, and widely applicable experimental controls to determine absolute fractions and spatial coordinates of interacting species on a true molecular level, even in highly crowded subcellular structures. The first application of this framework allowed the identification of a long-sought ternary adhesion complex—consisting of talin, kindlin and active β1-integrin—that specifically forms in cell-matrix adhesion sites. Together, the experiments demonstrate that qSMCL allows an absolute quantification of multiplexed SMLM data and thus should be useful for investigating molecular mechanisms underlying numerous processes in cells. Single-molecule localisation microscopy is limited by low labeling and detection efficiencies of the molecular probes. Here the authors report a framework to obtain absolute molecular quantities on a true molecular scale; the data reveal a ternary adhesion complex underlying cell-matrix adhesion.

Abstract
Inferring the organization of fluorescently labeled nanosized structures from single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) data, typically obscured by stochastic noise and background, remains challenging. To overcome this, we developed a method to extract high-resolution ordered features from SMLM data that requires only a low fraction of targets to be localized with high precision. First, experimentally measured localizations are analyzed to produce relative position distributions (RPDs). Next, model RPDs are constructed using hypotheses of how the molecule is organized. Finally, a statistical comparison is used to select the most likely model. This approach allows pattern recognition at sub-1% detection efficiencies for target molecules, in large and heterogeneous samples and in 2D and 3D data sets. As a proof-of-concept, we infer ultrastructure of Nup107 within the nuclear pore, DNA origami structures, and α-actinin-2 within the cardiomyocyte Z-disc and assess the quality of images of centrioles to improve the averaged single-particle reconstruction.

Abstract
T cells detect with their T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) the presence of rare agonist peptide/MHC complexes (pMHCs) on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). How extracellular ligand binding triggers intracellular signaling is poorly understood, yet spatial antigen arrangement on the APC surface has been suggested to be a critical factor. To examine this, we engineered a biomimetic interface based on laterally mobile functionalized DNA origami platforms, which allow for nanoscale control over ligand distances without interfering with the cell-intrinsic dynamics of receptor clustering. When targeting TCRs via stably binding monovalent antibody fragments, we found the minimum signaling unit promoting efficient T cell activation to consist of two antibody-ligated TCRs within a distance of 20 nm. In contrast, transiently engaging antigenic pMHCs stimulated T cells robustly as well-isolated entities. These results identify pairs of antibody-bound TCRs as minimal receptor entities for effective TCR triggering yet validate the exceptional stimulatory potency of single isolated pMHC molecules.

Abstract
Visualizing the functional interactions of biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids is key to understanding cellular life on the molecular scale. Spatial proximity is often used as a proxy for the direct interaction of biomolecules. However, current techniques to visualize spatial proximity are either limited by spatial resolution, dynamic range, or lack of single-molecule sensitivity. Here, we introduce Proximity-PAINT (pPAINT), a variation of the super-resolution microscopy technique DNA-PAINT. pPAINT uses a split-docking-site configuration to detect spatial proximity with high sensitivity, low false-positive rates, and tunable detection distances. We benchmark and optimize pPAINT using designer DNA nanostructures and demonstrate its cellular applicability by visualizing the spatial proximity of alpha- and beta-tubulin in microtubules using super-resolution detection.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) describes a family of powerful imaging techniques that dramatically improve spatial resolution over standard, diffraction-limited microscopy techniques and can image biological structures at the molecular scale. In SMLM, individual fluorescent molecules are computationally localized from diffraction-limited image sequences and the localizations are used to generate a super-resolution image or a time course of super-resolution images, or to define molecular trajectories. In this Primer, we introduce the basic principles of SMLM techniques before describing the main experimental considerations when performing SMLM, including fluorescent labelling, sample preparation, hardware requirements and image acquisition in fixed and live cells. We then explain how low-resolution image sequences are computationally processed to reconstruct super-resolution images and/or extract quantitative information, and highlight a selection of biological discoveries enabled by SMLM and closely related methods. We discuss some of the main limitations and potential artefacts of SMLM, as well as ways to alleviate them. Finally, we present an outlook on advanced techniques and promising new developments in the fast-evolving field of SMLM. We hope that this Primer will be a useful reference for both newcomers and practitioners of SMLM.

Abstract
DNA origami, in which a long scaffold strand is assembled with a many short staple strands into parallel arrays of double helices, has proven a powerful method for custom nanofabrication. However, currently the design and optimization of custom 3D DNA-origami shapes is a barrier to rapid application to new areas. Here we introduce a modular barrel architecture, and demonstrate hierarchical assembly of a 100 megadalton DNA-origami barrel of ~90 nm diameter and ~250 nm height, that provides a rhombic-lattice canvas of a thousand pixels each, with pitch of ~8 nm, on its inner and outer surfaces. Complex patterns rendered on these surfaces were resolved using up to twelve rounds of Exchange-PAINT super-resolution microscopy. We envision these structures as versatile nanoscale pegboards for applications requiring complex 3D arrangements of matter, which will serve to promote rapid uptake of this technology in diverse fields beyond specialist groups working in DNA nanotechnology. The design and optimisation of 3D DNA-origami can be a barrier to rapid application. Here the authors design barrel structure of stacked 2D double helical rings with complex surface patterns.

Abstract
Motivation Classification of images is an essential task in higher-level analysis of biological data. By bypassing the diffraction limit of light, super-resolution microscopy opened up a new way to look at molecular details using light microscopy, producing large amounts of data with exquisite spatial detail. Statistical exploration of data usually needs initial classification, which is up to now often performed manually. Results We introduce nanoTRON, an interactive open-source tool, which allows super-resolution data classification based on image recognition. It extends the software package Picasso with the first deep learning tool with a graphic user interface. Availability and implementation nanoTRON is written in Python and freely available under the MIT license as a part of the software collection Picasso on GitHub (http://www.github.com/jungmannlab/picasso). All raw data can be obtained from the authors upon reasonable request. Contact jungmann@biochem.mpg.de Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract
Innovation in genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics research has created a plethora of state-of-the-art techniques such as nucleic acid sequencing and mass-spectrometry-based proteomics with paramount impact in the life sciences. While current approaches yield quantitative abundance analysis of biomolecules on an almost routine basis, coupling this high content to spatial information in a single cell and tissue context is challenging. Here, current implementations of spatial omics are discussed and recent developments in the field of DNA-barcoded fluorescence microscopy are reviewed. Light is shed on the potential of DNA-based imaging techniques to provide a comprehensive toolbox for spatial genomics and transcriptomics and discuss current challenges, which need to be overcome on the way to spatial proteomics using high-resolution fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
Despite the vital role of mechanical forces in biology, it still remains a challenge to image cellular force with sub-100-nm resolution. Here, we present tension points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (tPAINT), integrating molecular tension probes with the DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) technique to map piconewton mechanical events with ~25-nm resolution. To perform live-cell dynamic tension imaging, we engineered reversible probes with a cryptic docking site revealed only when the probe experiences forces exceeding a defined mechanical threshold (~7-21 pN). Additionally, we report a second type of irreversible tPAINT probe that exposes its cryptic docking site permanently and thus integrates force history over time, offering improved spatial resolution in exchange for temporal dynamics. We applied both types of tPAINT probes to map integrin receptor forces in live human platelets and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Importantly, tPAINT revealed a link between platelet forces at the leading edge of cells and the dynamic actin-rich ring nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy is transforming research in the life sciences by enabling the visualization of structures and interactions on the nanoscale. DNA-PAINT is a relatively easy-to-implement single-molecule-based technique, which uses the programmable and transient interaction of dye-labeled oligonucleotides with their complements for super-resolution imaging. However, similar to many imaging approaches, it is still hampered by the subpar performance of labeling probes in terms of their large size and limited labeling efficiency. To overcome this, we here translate the programmability and transient binding nature of DNA-PAINT to coiled coil interactions of short peptides and introduce Peptide-PAINT. We benchmark and optimize its binding kinetics in a single-molecule assay and demonstrate its super-resolution capability using self-assembled DNA origami structures. Peptide-PAINT outperforms classical DNA-PAINT in terms of imaging speed and efficiency. Finally, we prove the suitability of Peptide-PAINT for cellular super-resolution imaging by visualizing the microtubule and vimentin network in fixed cells.

Abstract
DNA-PAINT's imaging speed has recently been significantly enhanced by optimized sequence design and buffer conditions. However, this implementation has not reached an ultimate speed limit and is only applicable to imaging of single targets. To further improve acquisition speed, we introduce concatenated, periodic DNA sequence motifs, yielding up to 100-fold-faster sampling in comparison to traditional DNA-PAINT. We extend this approach to six orthogonal sequence motifs, now enabling speed-optimized multiplexed imaging.

Abstract
A standard procedure to study cellular elements is via immunostaining followed by optical imaging. This methodology typically requires target-specific primary antibodies (1.Abs), which are revealed by secondary antibodies (2.Abs). Unfortunately, the antibody bivalency, polyclonality, and large size can result in a series of artifacts. Alternatively, small, monovalent probes, such as single-domain antibodies (nanobodies) have been suggested to minimize these limitations. The discovery and validation of nanobodies against specific targets are challenging, thus only a minimal amount of them are currently available. Here, we used STED, DNA-PAINT, and light-sheet microscopy, to demonstrate that secondary nanobodies (1) increase localization accuracy compared to 2.Abs; (2) allow direct pre-mixing with 1.Abs before staining, reducing experimental time, and enabling the use of multiple 1.Abs from the same species; (3) penetrate thick tissues more efficiently; and (4) avoid probe-induced clustering of target molecules observed with conventional 2.Abs in living or poorly fixed samples. Altogether, we show how secondary nanobodies are a valuable alternative to 2.Abs.

Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) orchestrate cell motility and differentiation. Deregulated RTKs may promote cancer and are prime targets for specific inhibitors. Increasing evidence indicates that resistance to inhibitor treatment involves receptor cross-interactions circumventing inhibition of one RTK by activating alternative signaling pathways. Here, we used single-molecule super-resolution microscopy to simultaneously visualize single MET and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) clusters in two cancer cell lines, HeLa and BT-20, in fixed and living cells. We found heteromeric receptor clusters of EGFR and MET in both cell types, promoted by ligand activation. Single-protein tracking experiments in living cells revealed that both MET and EGFR respond to their cognate as well as non-cognate ligands by slower diffusion. In summary, for the first time, we present static as well as dynamic evidence of the presence of heteromeric clusters of MET and EGFR on the cell membrane that correlates with the relative surface expression levels of the two receptors.

Abstract
Synthetic host-guest complexes are inherently dynamic as they employ weak and reversible noncovalent interactions for their recognition processes. We strategically exploited dynamic supramolecular recognition between fluorescently labeled guest molecules to complementary cucurbit[7]uril hosts to obtain stochastic switching between fluorescence ON- and OFF-states, enabling PAINT-based nanoscopic imaging in cells and tissues.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has revolutionized optical microscopy, extending resolution down to the level of individual molecules. However, the actual counting of molecules relies on preliminary knowledge of the blinking behavior of individual targets or on a calibration to a reference. In particular for biological applications, great care has to be taken because a plethora of factors influence the quality and applicability of calibration-dependent approaches to count targets in localization clusters particularly in SMLM data obtained from heterogeneous samples. Here, we present localization-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (lbFCS) as the first absolute molecular counting approach for DNA-points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (PAINT) microscopy and, to our knowledge, for SMLM in general. We demonstrate that lbFCS overcomes the limitation of previous DNA-PAINT counting and allows the quantification of target molecules independent of the localization cluster density. In accordance with the promising results of our systematic proof-of-principle study on DNA origami structures as idealized targets, lbFCS could potentially also provide quantitative access to more challenging biological targets featuring heterogeneous cluster sizes in the future.
