Abstract
En 中文
he distinctive distributions of proteins within subcellular compartments both at steady state and during signaling events have essential roles in cell function. Here we describe a method for delineating the complex arrangement of proteins within subcellular structures visualized using point-localization superresolution (PL-SR) imaging. The approach, called pair correlation photoactivated localization microscopy (PC-PALM), uses a pair-correlation algorithm to precisely identify single molecules in PL-SR imaging data sets, and it is used to decipher quantitative features of protein organization within subcellular compartments, including the existence of protein clusters and the size, density and number of proteins in these clusters. We provide a step-by-step protocol for PC-PALM, illustrating its analysis capability for four plasma membrane proteins tagged with photoactivatable GFP (PAGFP). The experimental steps for PC-PALM can be carried out in 3 d and the analysis can be done in similar to 6-8 h. Researchers need to have substantial experience in single-molecule imaging and statistical analysis to conduct the experiments and carry out this analysis.
