Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.0K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.5K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Studying the Cytoskeleton

8.3K
The cytoskeletal architecture can be studied using different microscopic and biochemical techniques. Electron microscopy was instrumental in discovering the cytoskeletal architecture around the 1960s, which allowed obtaining structural information at a high-resolution level. However, the sample preparation procedure often limits this ability in biological samples. Several protocols have been developed over the years to optimize sample preparation. In one of the protocols known as rotary...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Genomics
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Chromatin conformation is crucial for regulating gene expression.
  • Constant remodeling of chromatin structure is essential for proper cell function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the spatiotemporal organization and dynamics of chromatin in living cells.
  • To understand the relationship between chromatin structure and dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • High-density photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) for super-resolution imaging.
  • Deep learning for image analysis and temporally resolved reconstructions.
  • High-resolution dense motion reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Identified elongated chromatin "blobs" (45-90 nm wide).
  • Computational modeling suggests blobs are dynamically associating fragments with topologically associated domain-like interactions.
  • Observed spatiotemporal correlations in chromatin structure (~4 μm, tens of seconds) and dynamics (~6 μm, 40 s).

Conclusions:

  • Chromatin structure and dynamics are closely interrelated.
  • This relationship may facilitate access to regions with high local chromatin concentration.
  • Provides insights into genome organization and gene regulation mechanisms.
