Passive and active ion permeation through lipid bilayers investigated by second harmonic water imaging

Lipid membranes are complex and dynamic systems which are known to mediate signaling processes between cells and their environment. To do this multiple ion channels and pumps are involved in controlling the in- and out-flux of various ions (K+, Na+, Mg2+, ...

A Molecular Logic Gate Enables Single-Molecule Imaging and Tracking of Lipids in Intracellular Domains

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Photoactivatable dyes enable single-molecule imaging and tracking in biology. Despite progress in the development of new fluorophores and labeling strategies, many intracellular compartments remain difficult to image beyond the limit of diffraction in livi ...

Neighborhood watch: tools for defining locale-dependent subproteomes and their contextual signaling activities

Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao

Transient associations between numerous organelles-e.g., the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria-forge highly-coordinated, particular environments essential for cross-compartment information flow. Our perspective summarizes chemical-biology tools th ...

Development of chemical biology tools to reveal the function and organization of the silenced chromatin state

Nora Guidotti

Effector proteins are recruited to chromatin via transient interactions between their reader domains and histone post-translational modification (PTM) patterns. These interactions form signaling pathways that control gene expression or repression and which ...

Prospects of Observing Ionic Coulomb Blockade in Artificial Ion Confinements

Aleksandra Radenovic, Sanjin Marion, Andrey Chernev

Nanofluidics encompasses a wide range of advanced approaches to study charge and mass transport at the nanoscale. Modern technologies allow us to develop and improve artificial nanofluidic platforms that confine ions in a way similar to single-ion channels ...

High-throughput and adaptive super-resolution fluorescence microscopy of organelles

Dora Mahecic

Fluorescence super-resolution microscopy has allowed unprecedented insight into the workings of biological systems below the diffraction limit of light. Over the past decade, it has overcome several challenges to deliver 3D, multi-color and faster imaging ...

Time-lapse high-resolution microscopy to study the morphogenesis of microorganisms

Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent for the tuberculosis disease, is a bacterial pathogen thought to infect about a quarter of the global human population. It is the first cause of death among infectious diseases, and is most prevalent in low ...

Mammalian membrane trafficking as seen through the lens of bacterial toxins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Oksana Andrei Sergeeva, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita

A fundamental question of eukaryotic cell biology is how membrane organelles are organised and interact with each other. Cell biologists address these questions by characterising the structural features of membrane compartments and the mechanisms that coor ...

Structural mechanism of cGAS inhibition by the nucleosome

Rudolf Hovius, Simone Cavadini, Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Sélène-Véronique Glück, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Kristina Makasheva, Pauline Ambre Melenec

The DNA sensor cGAS initiates innate immune responses following microbial infection, cellular stress, and cancer1. Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP and triggers inflammatory cytokine and type I interferon ...

Ethynylation of Cysteine Residues: From Peptides to Proteins in Vitro and in Living Cells

Jérôme Waser, Charlotte Marie Sornay, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Raj Kumar Nandi

Current approaches to introduce terminal alkynes for bioorthogonal reactions into biomolecules still present limitations in terms of either reactivity, selectivity, or adduct stability. We present a method for the ethynylation of cysteine residues based on ...
