Super-Resolution Microscopy: A New Dimension in Focal Adhesions
نویسنده
چکیده
Super-resolution light microscopy images of integrin-mediated adhesions have revealed that signaling and cytoskeletal proteins reside at characteristic vertical distances between the plasma membrane and F-actin.

Complementarity of PALM and SOFI for super-resolution live-cell imaging of focal adhesions
Live-cell imaging of focal adhesions requires a sufficiently high temporal resolution, which remains a challenge for super-resolution microscopy. Here we address this important issue by combining photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) with super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI). Using simulations and fixed-cell focal adhesion images, we investigate the complementarity betwee...
متن کاملCombining PALM and SOFI for quantitative imaging of focal adhesions in living cells
Focal adhesions are complicated assemblies of hundreds of proteins that allow cells to sense their extracellular matrix and adhere to it. Although most focal adhesion proteins have been identified, their spatial organization in living cells remains challenging to observe. Photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM) is an interesting technique for this purpose, especially since it allows esti...

We present new fluorophore-conjugates for dual-color photoactivation and super-resolution imaging inside live mammalian cells. These custom-designed, photo-caged Q-rhodamines and fluoresceins are cell-permeable, bright and localize specifically to intracellular targets. We utilized established orthogonal protein labeling strategies to precisely attach the photoactivatable fluorophores to protei...
متن کاملStructured illumination microscopy reveals focal adhesions are composed of linear subunits.
The ability to mechanically interact with the extracellular matrix is a fundamental feature of adherent eukaryotic cells. Cell-matrix adhesion in many cell types is mediated by protein complexes called focal adhesions (FAs). Recent progress in super resolution microscopy revealed FAs possess an internal organization, yet such methods do not enable observation of the formation and dynamics of th...
