Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy achieves a few nanometers resolution, but colocalization analysis in a molecular complex is limited by its labeling density. Here we present a method for quantitative mapping of molecular complexes using multiplexed super-resolution imaging, integrating exchangeable single-molecule localization (IRIS). We developed antiserum-derived Fab IRIS probes for high-density labeling of endogenous proteins and protein cluster coloring (PC-coloring), which employs pixel-based principal component analysis and clustering. PC-coloring maps regions of distinct ratios of multiple proteins, and in each region, correlation between two proteins is calculated for evaluating the complex formation. PC-coloring revealed multi-layered complex formation in a clathrin-coated structure (CCS) prior to endocytosis. Upon epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation, EGF receptor (EGFR)-dominant, EGFR-Grb2-complex, and Grb2-dominant regions lined up from outside the CCS rim. Along the interior of Grb2-dominant regions, CCS components (Eps15, FCHo1/2 and intersectin-1) formed a complex with Grb2 away from EGFR. The Grb2-dominant region and Grb2-CCS component complex formation probably determine EGFR recruitment sites in the CCS rim.
期刊介绍:
Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome.
In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.
