(A) Diffusion times obtained from SFSCS measurements on HEK 293T cells expressing either influenza A virus (IAV) HA-mEGFP or mp-mEYFP separately (blue), or co-expressing both fusion proteins (red). RSC Chem Biol. In addition, they build on their earlier work and show that the collected data can be analysed by Number and Brightness analysis, providing access to biomolecular stoichiometry. Digman MA, Dalal R, Horwitz AF, Gratton E. Mapping the number of molecules and brightness in the laser scanning microscope. = 0.7 for pf = 0.7 (see Section A1.1). Normalized brightness values were calculated by dividing molecular brightness values detected in each SFSCS measurement by the average brightness obtained for mEGFP and mEYFP in cells co-expressing mp-mEGFP and mp-mEYFP. Plasmid M2-mCherry2 (mCherry2 fused to the extracellular terminus of matrix protein 2 from influenza A/chicken/FPV/Rostock/1934) was cloned by inserting mCherry2 from an mCherry2-C1 vector into mEYFP-FPV-M2 (a kind gift from Michael Veit) using restriction by AgeI and BsrGI. We then calculated rel.cc. We demonstrate that SFSCS enables cross-talk-free cross-correlation, diffusion, and oligomerization analysis of up to four protein species labeled with strongly overlapping fluorophores. For the other FP combinations requiring excitation with two laser lines, the obtained rel.cc. . More precisely, one would expect a slightly larger observation volume for mCherry2 than for mEGFP (due to the higher wavelength) and thus an amplitude ratio GCh2/GG smaller than 1. The combination of correlation analysis with that of photon intensity distributions reveals a fivefold squeezing of the detection volume over current diffraction-limited systems, which is in full agreement with the simultaneously demonstrated 25-fold reduction in (axial) focal transit time. For FPs with a probability pf to be fluorescent, the expected rel.cc. Nevertheless, four-species SFSCS and RSICS could successfully resolve different combinations of strongly overlapping FP hetero-oligomers, for example, a mixture of mEGFP-mCherry2 and mEYFP-mApple heterodimers, at the PM or in the cytoplasm of cells. Epub 2020 Feb 13. These are imported into the nucleus and appear to interact with PB2 to form heterotrimeric complexes (Huet et al., 2010). Cell Biochem Biophys. We thank the reviewer for bringing up this important issue. Another inner filter effect occurs because of high concentrations of absorbing molecules, including the fluorophore. The site is secure. In the field of water research, fluorescence spectroscopy can be used to monitor water quality by detecting organic pollutants. And is this consistent with the difference in diffusion coefficient they see for the hetero-oligomers? We measured individual emission spectra (Figure 1figure supplement 1) for single-species samples to calculate three-species spectral filters (Figure 3figure supplement 1), which we then used to decompose the signal detected in cells expressing multiple FPs into the contribution of each species. value of 0.65 detected for mEGFP and mEYFP signal (see Figure 6D) was close to the expected value, hence, almost all complexes containing fluorescent mEGFP and mEYFP were detectable. Heinrich S, Sidler CL, Azzalin CM, Weis K. RNA. We then calculated RSICS ACFs (Figure 6B), CCFs (Figure 6C), and rel.cc. Ghosh A, Karedla N, Thiele JC, Gregor I, Enderlein J. Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy: Basics and applications. The minor difference could be attributed, for example, to different linker peptides (i.e., long rigid linker between FPs in heterotrimers and a short flexible linker in heterodimers), increasing the degree of FRET between mEGFP and mCherry2 in heterodimers and reducing the cross-correlation. 2022 Jun 25;51(3):362-372. doi: 10.3724/zdxbyxb-2022-0017. Palo K, Brand L, Eggeling C, Jger S, Kask P, Gall K. Biophys J. The lower rel.cc. 2.54 min). (A) Representative fluorescence image (left) of A549 cells co-expressing FP-tagged IAV PC proteins PA-mEYFP, PB1-mEGFP, and PB2-mCherry2. To assess FRET between FPs, we quantified the molecular brightness of FPs coupled in hetero-oligomers and compared it with the brightness obtained on the same FPs expressed as independent monomers. values were compared to the values obtained on negative controls (i.e., cells co-expressing free mEGFP, mEYFP, and mCherry) and positive controls (i.e., cells expressing mEYFP-mCherry2-mEGFP heterotrimers) (Figure 6D). National Library of Medicine Before Here, we explore the full potential of FSCS and RSICS. The signal originating from the two fluorophores was decomposed using spectral filters (Figure 1figure supplement 2A) based on the emission spectra detected on cells expressing mp-mEGFP and mp-mEYFP separately (Figure 1figure supplement 1). Hendrix J, Dekens T, Schrimpf W, Lamb DC. Here, we present scanning fluorescence spectral correlation spectroscopy (SFSCS), a versatile approach that can be implemented on commercial confocal microscopes, allowing the investigation of interactions between multiple protein species at the plasma membrane. was simply set to 0. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (color coded) of autocorrelation functions (ACFs) for mEGFP (A), mEYFP (B), and mCherry2 (C) channels obtained from SFSCS measurements on HEK 293T cells co-expressing mp-mEGFP, mp-mEYFP, and mp-mCherry2 as a function of their signal relative to that of the other two fluorescent protein (FP) species. Average emission spectra of mp-mEGFP, mp-mEYFP, mp-mApple, and mp-mCherry2 measured by spectral imaging (23 spectral channels from 491 nm to 695 nm) with 488 nm and 561 nm excitation on HEK 293T cells expressing each FP individually. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! However, the levels of the coat protein needed for consistent labeling of mRNAs limits the sensitivity and quantitation of this technology. Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy: Ushering in a new age of enlightenment for cellular dynamics. For two-species measurements, samples were excited with a 488 nm argon laser (mEGFP, mEYFP) or a 561 nm diode laser (mCherry2, mApple). 90% on average) to that obtained for this fluorophore combination in measurements on FP heterotrimers, suggesting very strong association of LC3-mEYFP with M2-mCherry2. Some of these methodologies are classical protein aggregation analyses, while others are not yet widely used. Disclaimer, National Library of Medicine However, since the methodology presented here is based on temporal (SFSCS) or spatial (RSICS) correlation (both excluding the correlation at zero time or spatial lag), this issue can be neglected in our analysis. In each line and spectral channel, these pixels were integrated, providing membrane fluorescence time series Fkt in each spectral channel k (m channels in total). This value was comparable to that measured for HA-mEGFP expressed separately (36 8 ms, mean SD, n = 18 cells). eCollection 2021. The excitation power for red FPs was generally limited by the lower photostability of mApple, which could be responsible for consistently lower rel.cc. 2008;85:273-92. doi: 10.1016/S0091-679X(08)85012-1. In addition to cross-correlation analysis, we performed molecular brightness measurements on samples containing three FP species. Signaling pathways in biological systems rely on specific interactions between multiple biomolecules. Its theoretical underpinning doi: 10.1366/000370204774103264. A more detailed analysis of our data showed that in the analyzed cells (i.e., cells showing clear membrane recruitment of LC3, Figure 3figure supplement 4A,B), the PM concentration of LC3 was on average only 30% compared to that of M2 (Figure 3figure supplement 4C), although both proteins were expressed in comparable amounts in the sample in general. Laser powers were chosen to maximize the signal emitted by each fluorophore species but keeping photobleaching below 50% at maximum for all species (average signal decays were ca. Since it requires a single excitation line and is compatible with spectrally strongly overlapping FPs, it circumvents optical limitations such as imperfect overlap of the observation volumes. The data has been added to the SI and refer to in the results (lines 591-592). Our method applies fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence intensity distribution analysis to extract molecular information about mobilities and fluorescence emission in solution. We present a simulation model for a stream of photon counts that can be detected in fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy systems from diffusing molecules undergoing spontaneous transitions between radiative and nonradiative states. Nevertheless, we cannot rule this out completely and thus added a sentence to the manuscript (lines 776-778). The authors use a range of protein constructs that include between one to four fluorescent proteins, which they use in different compositions to demonstrate that they can analyse all possible interactions of four probes in a single measurement. This approach results in correct estimates of protein diffusion dynamics, oligomerization, and interactions between both species. The average laser power used in two-photon excitation is much higher than in the single-photon excitation scheme. Imaging Single mRNA Dynamics in Live Neurons and Brains. They showed the proof-of-principle with tandem proteins. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) was created to measure these molecular dynamics; it is sensitive to fluctuations in fluorescence intensity observed from a small open volume element (on the order of 10 15 liter) containing only a few molecules.Fluctuations may be due to molecules diffusing in and out of the volume or to chemical transitions between about navigating our updated article layout. FPs lacking pure channels, for example, mEYFP when co-expressed with mEGFP, are most compromised. This approach allowed excluding visible intracellular organelles or pixels in the extracellular space, but to include all pixels containing signal from the nucleus of cells. Notably, two-species SFSCS can not only successfully discriminate between mEGFP and mEYFP, but is also applicable when using the red FPs mApple and mCherry2. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the and transmitted securely. In the interests of transparency, eLife publishes the most substantive revision requests and the accompanying author responses. values were obtained for all fluorophore combinations, for example, 0.10 0.10 (mean SD, n = 13 cells) for mApple and mCherry2, with the exception of mEGFP and mCherry2, showing an average value of 0.55 0.13. In this range, SFSCS not only enabled the quantification of protein interactions via cross-correlation analysis, but also yielded correct estimates of protein diffusion dynamics and oligomerization at the PM. Huang L, Pike D, Sleat DE, Nanda V, Lobel P. Potential pitfalls and solutions for use of fluorescent fusion proteins to study the lysosome. Mycoplasma contamination tests and morphology tests were performed every 3 months and 2 weeks, respectively. Real-Time Monitoring of Alzheimer's-Related Amyloid Aggregation via Probe Enhancement-Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy. 2021 Nov 1;49(5):2357-2369. doi: 10.1042/BST20210457. Briefly, the presence of positive correlation values in noisy curves is a consequence of positive starting parameters for the fit routine and, probably, its converging to a local minimum (i.e., to a positive correlation value). PMC Quartz is ideal because it transmits from 200nm-2500nm; higher grade quartz can even transmit up to 3500nm, whereas the absorption properties of other materials can mask the fluorescence from the sample. Bookshelf The number of cells measured is given in parentheses. Only the amplitude ratio for mEGFP and mCherry2 ACFs is shown. (AF) Representative RSICS spatial autocorrelation functions (ACFs) (A, C, E) and cross-correlation functions (CCFs) (B, D, F) obtained from four-species RSICS measurements on A549 cells. In the latter case, fairly constant 3CF amplitudes were obtained, agreeing with the 3CF amplitude calculated without the high-pass filter (data not shown). Epub 2005 Jul 1. values of 0.45 0.06 (mean SD, n = 20 cells) and 0.56 0.08 (mean SD, n = 17 cells) were observed in cells expressing mp-mCherry2-mEGFP heterodimers or mp-mEYFP-mCherry2-mEGFP heterotrimers. Page 11 and 12: It would be interesting if the authors could determine whether the observed correlation amplitudes are consistent with the probability of the different FPs (mEGFP, mEYFP, mCherry2 with rel cc amplitudes ranging from 0.45-0.79). Additionally, the transmission efficiency of monochromators and filters must be taken into account. (A, B) Fluorescence images of LC3-mEYFP (A) and M2-mCherry2 (B) excited with either 488 nm (A) or 561 nm (B) excitation. For the cloning of all following constructs, standard PCRs with custom-designed primers were performed, followed by digestion with fast digest restriction enzymes and ligation with T4-DNA-Ligase according to the manufacturers instructions. In sc-FLCCS, this issue particularly compromises the SNR of short lifetime species (tefl et al., 2020) since photons of longer lifetime species are detected in all short lifetime channels at substantial relative numbers. Biol Reprod. Page 22: The authors indicate that they normalize their RSICS brightness data to measurements of monomers on the same day. FOIA Scale bars are 10 m. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help 2022. R01 GM084364/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/United States, R01 GM086217/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/United States. Given that mEYFP is the most compromised of the three species, we have then evaluated the diffusion time and molecular brightness obtained for mEYFP in three groups corresponding to the highest, middle and lowest third of the 31 data points, sorted by SNR. Chemphyschem. The single-channeled detector can only detect the intensity of one wavelength at a time, while the multichanneled one detects the intensity of all wavelengths simultaneously, making the emission monochromator or filter unnecessary. WebThe analysis of the intensity fluctuation of a fluorescence signal from a relatively small volume and from a few molecules contains information about the distribution of different species present in the solution and about kinetic parameters of the system. Nuclear architecture is fundamental to the manner by which molecules traverse the nucleus. Quantifying membrane protein oligomerization with fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy. For correlated data, for example, G,Ch2, both fit routines converged to comparable positive values. Ann. eCollection 2021 Jun. This confirms that reliable brightness values were obtained and that dimeric and monomeric species can be correctly identified. The mp-mCherry2-mEGFP plasmid was cloned by inserting mp from mp-mEGFP into mCherry2-mEGFP using digestion with NheI and AgeI. The LC3-mEYFP plasmid was generated by inserting mEYFP from mEYFP-C1 vector into pmRFP-LC3 (Kimura et al., 2007) (a gift from Tamotsu Yoshimori, Addgene plasmid #21075, encoding rat LC3) using digestion with NheI and BglII. government site. To split excitation and emission light, 488 nm (for two-species measurements with mEGFP and mEYFP) or 488/561 nm (for measurements including mCherry2 and mApple) dichroic mirrors were used. We thank the reviewer for this idea and have added a Limitations subsection at the end of the discussion, summarizing the main technical and conceptual limitations of the technique. Therefore, tryptophan fluorescence can be a very sensitive measurement of the conformational state of individual tryptophan residues. Imaging therapeutic peptide transport across intestinal barriers. Tryptophan is an important intrinsic fluorescent (amino acid), which can be used to estimate the nature of microenvironment of the tryptophan. This method is likely to be used by cell biologists to determine the stoichiometry of multi-protein complexes. From this value, an estimate of the oligomeric state i was determined by normalizing Bi by the average molecular brightness Bi,1 of the corresponding monomeric reference, and, subsequently, by the fluorescence probability pf,i for species i: i=BiBi,1-1pf,i+1, as previously derived (Dunsing et al., 2018). For CD9, both N- and C-terminus and intracellular. Several applications might aim to study interaction within proteins of different abundance, it is important to understand the relative concentration range where the method can be used and provide reliable results. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Fluorescence Fluctuation Spectroscopy (FFS), Part A (ISSN Book 518). Methods Enzymol. Investigation of the underlying causes of neurodegeneration requires the establishment and selection of appropriate methodologies for detailed investigation of the state and conformation of protein aggregates. Assuming a pf of ca. Error bars represent mean SD. RSICS measurements were performed as previously described (Ziegler et al., 2020). The analysis of the intensity fluctuation of a fluorescence signal from a relatively small volume and from a few doi: 10.1083/jcb.202202110. SFSCS is thus directly applicable in the complex environment of living multicellular organisms. Before 2021 Aug 13;19:4711-4724. doi: 10.1016/j.csbj.2021.08.017. The reviewers have discussed their reviews with one another, and the Reviewing Editor has drafted this to help you prepare a revised submission. (C) SNR of ACFs for mEGFP (green) and mEYFP (yellow), obtained from SFSCS measurements described in (A), plotted as a function of the average ratio of detected mEGFP and mEYFP fluorescence. Can authors put their software in an open repository? Careers. WebFluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) monitors the fluctuations of the fluorescence intensity from a small volume within the sample. 6075% for mEGFP (Dunsing et al., 2018). It would be interesting if the authors could comment on the day-to-day variability of their calibrations. The pf was calculated from the obtained molecular brightness Bi,2 of FP homodimers of species i: pf=Bi,2Bi,11 (Dunsing et al., 2018). FRET efficiencies (fE) are related to the decrease in donor brightness, fE=1-qG (Foo et al., BJ, 2012). values are at maximum 59% of the rel.cc. To mitigate this problem, we used a single-chain tandem dimer of MCP (tdMCP) that significantly increased the uniformity and sensitivity of mRNA labeling. This value corresponds to a pf of ca. From the fit amplitudes of the ACFs and CCFs, rel.cc. The .gov means its official. 2005 May;6(5):905-12. doi: 10.1002/cphc.200400547. 7. Furthermore, the detector quantum efficiency, that is, the percentage of photons detected, varies between different detectors, with wavelength and with time, as the detector inevitably deteriorates. This suggests that not all potential binding sites in the cytoplasmic tail of M2 may be available to fluorescently tagged LC3, either due to binding of endogenous LC3, other cellular host factors, or steric hindrance. As a further example, G3C(2,0) includes and averages only the two correlation values corresponding to 1=2=0 (i.e., no shift along columns) and 1=-2=1 (i.e., a one-pixel shift along a line, in opposite directions for the two channels). Finally, we extend RSICS for the detection of four molecular species and quantify, for the first time directly in living cells, the complete stoichiometry of ternary IAV polymerase complexes assembling in the nucleus, using three-species fluorescence correlation and brightness analysis. We have now clarified these passages (lines 278-279, 1024-1029). Fluorescence Fluctuation Spectroscopy (FFS), Part A (ISSN Book 518) - Kindle edition by Tetin, Sergey. Universitt Potsdam, Institute of Biochemistry and Biology, Wiley-VCH. The autophagy marker protein LC3 was recently shown to be recruited to the PM in IAV-infected cells (see also Figure 3figure supplement 4A,B), promoting filamentous budding and virion stability, thus indicating a role of LC3 in virus assembly (Beale et al., 2014). The axes a and b indicate shifts in the x and y direction, respectively, across the three detection channels, as described in Materials and methods. The site is secure. 2020 Dec 29;13(12):dmm046516. doi: 10.1016/j.febslet.2009.07.014. values for ternary complexes of (i) 1:1:1 or (ii) 2:2:2 stoichiometry, under the assumption that each fluorescent protein can be detected with a probability Pf For simplicity, we assume the same Pf and molecular brightness for all three fluorophore species. (B) Normalized molecular brightness values obtained from SFSCS measurements on HEK 293T cells co-expressing mp-mEGFP and mp-mEYFP (blue), mp-2x-mEGFP and mp-mEYFP (red), or expressing mp-mEGFP alone (yellow). To estimate the fraction of ternary complexes than can be detected, we compare experimental rel.cc. MeSH Nuclear import and assembly of influenza a virus RNA polymerase studied in live cells by fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy. Would you like email updates of new search results? 9. Dahmane S, Doucet C, Le Gall A, Chamontin C, Dosset P, Murcy F, Fernandez L, Salas D, Rubinstein E, Mougel M, Nollmann M, Milhiet PE. In contrast, we detected a substantial rel.cc. Zhejiang Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban. Also, the point G3C(0,3) was not included since it refers to shifts along columns (i.e., the slow scanning direction), which, in turn, are characterized by a steeper decrease in amplitude. However, RSICS can be applied to detect faster dynamics, as demonstrated by experiments on cytoplasmic proteins. In this context, spectral information could be further exploited to separate low signal levels of endogenously expressed, fluorescently tagged proteins from autofluorescence background. Data are pooled from four independent experiments. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Biophys J. 70% for mEGFP, as expected (Dunsing et al., 2018). The paper includes a reliable validation and description of the method as well as a proof of principle application and assessment of potential limitations. (, Principles of a typical number and brightness (N&B) analysis. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help For this reason, three- and four-species analysis was restricted to cells with relative average intensity levels of 1:5 or less between species with adjacent emission spectra. (fit routine 1, filtered). Bookshelf Afterwards, mApple was amplified from PMT-mApple and inserted into mp-mCherry2-(L)_pcDNA3.1+ by digestion with KpnI and EcoRI. We then compared the diffusion times measured by SFSCS to the values obtained on cells expressing each of the two constructs separately (Figure 2A). When performing experiments with denaturants, surfactants or other amphiphilic molecules, the microenvironment of the tryptophan might change. This new volume of Methods in Enzymology continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. I'm wondering how relatively changes in concentration/expression i.e. While the SNR of mEGFP ACFs was only moderately affected by the presence of mEYFP signal (i.e., SNR ranging from ca. (G) Normalized molecular brightness values obtained from three-species SFSCS measurements on HEK 293T cells co-expressing mp-mEGFP, mp-mEYFP, and mp-mCherry2 (blue), mp-2x-mEGFP, mp-mEYFP, and mp-mCherry2 (red), CD9-mEGFP, LC3-mEYFP, and M2-mCh2 (green), or expressing mp-mEGFP alone (yellow).
