Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.6K
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...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a correlative imaging approach combining SMLFM and widefield Fourier light-field microscopy.
  • To improve the sensitivity of measurements for molecular organization, chemical environment, and diffusion.
  • To enable volumetric sub-cellular segmentation for enhanced analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of single-molecule light-field microscopy (SMLFM) with widefield Fourier light-field microscopy.
  • Correlative volumetric organelle imaging for instantaneous acquisition of subcellular volumes.
  • Application of volumetric sub-cellular segmentation for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated measurement of molecular organization of nuclear-localized HaloTag protein relative to cell nuclei.
  • Characterized molecular diffusion of calreticulin in α 1 $\ualpha_1$ -antitrypsin deficiency.
