fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy

Two-color spatial cumulant analysis detects heteromeric interactions between membrane proteins. This value corresponds to a pf of ca. and transmitted securely. It should be noted that the limitation of reduced SNR due to excess signal from another species also applies to conventional dual-color FCCS: bleed-through from green to red channels can be corrected on average, but reduces the SNR in red channels (Bacia et al., 2012), unless more sophisticated schemes such as pulsed interleaved excitation (Mller et al., 2005; Hendrix et al., 2013) are applied. This aspect should be considered for specific applications, for example, RSICS in the cytoplasm containing acidic compartments such as lysosomes. The authors applied SFSCS to study how the Influenza A virus matrix protein 2 interact with the autophagy protein LC3 and the tetraspanin CD9. (A, B) Fluorescence images of LC3-mEYFP (A) and M2-mCherry2 (B) excited with either 488 nm (A) or 561 nm (B) excitation. Disclaimer, National Library of Medicine KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Thorsten Wohland, M2 protein oligomerize but its interacting partner LC3 does not, does that mean each single LC3 associates with multiple M2 protein? Here, we explore the full potential of FSCS and RSICS. This work discusses different analysis methods used in fluctuation spectroscopy and evaluates their use for studying protein-protein interactions, and highlights some of the technical aspects. Some of these methodologies are classical protein aggregation analyses, while others are not yet widely used. To account for reduction of the triple-correlation amplitude due to the high-pass filter, an empirical correction was applied based on simulated triple-correlation amplitudes with different sizes F of the moving window (see Appendix 1, Section A1.2 and Appendix 1figure 1). The plasmids encoding FPs linked to a myristoylated and palmitoylated peptide (mp-mEGFP, mp-mEYFP, mp-mCherry2, mp-2x-mEGFP), the full-length IAV A/chicken/FPV/Rostock/1934 hemagglutinin (HA) construct HA-mEGFP, and the plasmids for cytosolic expression of mEGFP, mEYFP, mCherry2, 2x-mEGFP, 2x-mEYFP, 2x-mCherry2, and mCherry2-mEGFP heterodimers were previously described (Dunsing et al., 2018) and are available on Addgene. They show a fairly large variation due to noise but the majority of data points report similar diffusion dynamics (0.070.06 ms) as M2 oligomers, which would be expected for binding of a membrane associated to a transmembrane protein. We use a binomial model for the relative occurrence of different subpopulations in each species (Dunsing et al., 2018). How the position of the label influences the cross-correlation studies? Fluorescence intensity and lifetime distribution analysis: toward higher accuracy in fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy. The molecule then drops down to one of the various vibrational levels of the ground electronic state again, emitting a photon in the process. From characteristic atomic fluorescence, the elements can be identified. Fluorescence is taking place in atoms or molecules, whereas luminescence can be taken place in organisms, solutions, molecules, etc. Before Therefore, tryptophan fluorescence can be a very sensitive measurement of the conformational state of individual tryptophan residues.

Plasmids encoding IAV polymerase subunits PA-mEYFP, PB1-mEGFP, and PB2-mCherry2 (from influenza A/human/WSN/1933) were a kind gift from Andreas Herrmann. We summarize in this section the main instrumental, conceptual, and sample-related limitations and requirements connected to the multicolor FFS approach employed in this work. and Mol. Pulsed interleaved excitation. The authors declare no conflict of interest. FFS utilizes the fluctuating fluorescence signal when fluorescently labeled molecules move through a subfemtoliter observation volume, allowing various physical and biological systems to be studied at the single-molecule level. We then apply this scheme to simultaneously investigate the interaction of influenza A virus (IAV) matrix protein 2 (M2) with two cellular host factors, the tetraspanin CD9 and the autophagosome protein LC3, co-expressed in the same cell. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201709072. To correct this, a beam splitter can be applied after the excitation monochromator or filter to direct a portion of the light to a reference detector. MeSH Karolinska Institutet, (E) Representative CFs (green/yellow/red: ACFs for mEGFP/mEYFP/mCherry2; purple/blue/gray: CCFs calculated for the pairs mEGFP and mEYFP/mEGFP and mCherry2/mEYFP and mCherry2) obtained from three-species SFSCS measurements on HEK 293T cells co-expressing CD9-mEGFP, LC3-mEYFP, and M2-mCh2.

Utrecht University, for 1:1 stoichiometry heterodimers (A-B/A-C/B-C) or 1:1:1 stoichiometry heterotrimers (A-B-C), resulting in values of 1 (for Pf = 1) and 0.7 (for Pf = 0.7). Correlative nanophotonic approaches to enlighten the nanoscale dynamics of living cell membranes. For the variance and third central moment, b2 = 1.0 and b3 = 3.4 were obtained, respectively. This shows that the SFSCS analysis works reliably in the here explored concentration range of 1:6 to 6:1 for neighboring FP channels. eCollection 2021 Jun. Diffusion coefficients (D) obtained for mCherry2 showed the highest variation (Figure 5H), reflecting the reduced SNR for this fluorophore. 10% for mEGFP, 30% for mEYFP, 40% for mApple, and 20% for mCherry2). Hur KH, Chen Y, Mueller JD. Fluorescence Fluctuation Spectroscopy. Furthermore, the fluorescence can also be measured from the front, which is often done for turbid or opaque samples Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) was developed in order to char acterize the dynamics of molecular processes in systems in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Scale bars are 10 m. This work was financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG) grant 254850309 to SC. Thus, the fraction of PB1-mEGFP bound to PA-mEYFP should be as high as the positive control, for a 1:1 stoichiometry. values below 60% were also observed with single-wavelength excitation (Foo et al., 2012; Shi et al., 2009), indicating that overlap of both excitation and detection volumes (the latter requiring FPs with similar emission spectra) is required to maximize the achievable cross-correlation (Foo et al., 2012). Sweden They found that IAV preferentially interact LC3 but not with CD9 (Figure 3). We establish fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) with nanoscale detection volumes generated by stimulated emission depletion. In addition, the higher molecular brightness of mApple (compared to mCherry2) compensated for the larger overlap of this FP with the tail of mEYFP emission. Two-photon excitation fluorescence bioassays. In the first part, we present two-species SFSCS using a single excitation wavelength and strongly overlapping fluorophores. The data has been added to the SI and refer to in the results (lines 591-592). In these cases, all pixels were selected and minor brightness differences between cytoplasm and nucleus, previously found to be ca. The combination of To clone mp-mCherry2-(L)-mApple, mp-mCherry2-(L)_pcDNA3.1+ plasmid was first generated by amplifying mp-mCherry2 (using a primer encoding a long rigid linker sequence) and inserting it into pcDNA3.1+ using NheI and KpnI restriction.

Cell Biochem Biophys. in non-correlated data. Effect of bin time on the photon counting histogram for one-photon excitation. Chem. WebThe analysis of the intensity fluctuation of a fluorescence signal from a relatively small volume and from a few molecules contains information about the distribution of different species present in the solution and about kinetic parameters of the system. We have therefore already carefully evaluated the SNR of two-species SFSCS measurements as a function of the relative concentrations (i.e. Rep., 2018). For atomic species, the process is similar; however, since atomic species do not have vibrational energy levels, the emitted photons are often at the same wavelength as the incident radiation. Thermodynamic Fluctuations in a Reacting SystemMeasurement by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy. However, the levels of the coat protein needed for consistent labeling of mRNAs limits the sensitivity and quantitation of this technology. For CD9, both N- and C-terminus and intracellular. These proteins could be present in the nucleus in unbound form when expressed in higher amount than PB1 since both PA and PB2 localize in the nucleus individually and were previously shown not to interact when both present without PB1 (Huet et al., 2010). The mp-mCherry2-mEGFP plasmid was cloned by inserting mp from mp-mEGFP into mCherry2-mEGFP using digestion with NheI and AgeI. 0.4 ms and a 2-line binning was performed. Furthermore, no lamp has a constant intensity at all wavelengths. Based on the determined rel.cc. We can therefore assume that for the case of ternary complexes ca. TRICS was performed using three-dimensional RSICS image stacks Iix,y,t detected for three species i. doi: 10.2174/1568026611212220014. The .gov means its official. LAURDAN since Weber: The Quest for Visualizing Membrane Heterogeneity. A similar analysis has previously been presented for three-channel FCS measurements (e.g., fluorescence triple-correlation spectroscopy [Ridgeway et al., 2012a], triple-color coincidence analysis [Heinze et al., 2004]), but was so far limited to in vitro systems such as purified proteins (Ridgeway et al., 2012a) or DNA oligonucleotides (Heinze et al., 2004) labeled with organic dyes. To ensure statistical robustness of the RSICS analysis and sufficient SNR, the analysis was restricted to cells expressing all fluorophore species in comparable amounts, that is, relative average signal intensities of less than 1:6 for all species (in all RSICS experiments). is equal to pf, as we discuss in the Appendix of the paper (Appendix-table 1). Quartz is ideal because it transmits from 200nm-2500nm; higher grade quartz can even transmit up to 3500nm, whereas the absorption properties of other materials can mask the fluorescence from the sample. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies 70% of all fully fluorescent ternary complexes that are present in the sample are optically detectable. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. This might be due to e.g. See this image and copyright information in PMC. The authors provided a validation of the method in HEK cells expressing the three Fluorescent Proteins in the plasma membrane in different oligomerization states (Figure 3C). 2022 Aug 18;3(3):101630. doi: 10.1016/j.xpro.2022.101630. The set of FPs may be optimized for specific applications. We agree with the reviewer that it is important to keep FRET into consideration when planning experiments and constructs, in particular because hetero-oligomers are commonly used as a positive control to normalize the rel.cc. Kapusta P, Wahl M, Benda A, Hof M, Enderlein J. Fluorescence lifetime correlation spectroscopy. For A549 cells, a homogeneous region of interest (ROI) in the cytosol was manually selected. Cross-correlation analysis of spectrally separated fluctuations provides information about intermolecular interactions but is usually limited to two fluorophore species. Comput Struct Biotechnol J. Notably, two-species SFSCS can not only successfully discriminate between mEGFP and mEYFP, but is also applicable when using the red FPs mApple and mCherry2. To determine the triple-correlation amplitude G3C(0,0), the closest points (e.g., G3C(1,1), G3C(1,2), G3C(2,1), G3C(2,2), G3C(3,0)) of the two-dimensional triple correlation were averaged as an (slightly underestimated) approximation of the amplitude value at (0,0). doi: 10.1016/j.febslet.2009.07.014. (solely based on pf, i.e. In the second sample (mp-Ch2-G + mp-Y + mp-A), similarly low rel.cc. This protocol describes a fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy-based approach to investigate interactions among proteins mediating cell-cell interactions, i.e. Such framework allows the minimization of cross-talk artifacts in FCCS measurements performed in living cells (Padilla-Parra et al., 2011). Negative initial values resulted in errors in the fit routine or fit curves that clearly did not provide a reliable fit to the CFs. Sun Y, Wallrabe H, Booker CF, Day RN, Periasamy A. Three-Color Spectral FRET Microscopy Localizes Three Interacting Proteins in Living Cells. For each cell, 25 frames were acquired and pixels corresponding to the plasma membrane (PM) semi-manually segmented in the average image (manual selection followed by removal of pixels with intensities below 25% of the maximum pixel intensity in the selected region). Ann. The excitation spectrum generally is identical to the absorption spectrum as the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the absorption.[5]. 60% for mCherry2) (Dunsing et al., 2018). 300 to 350nm depending in the polarity of the local environment [11] Hence, protein fluorescence may be used as a diagnostic of the conformational state of a protein. We have therefore uploaded all analysis code (SFSCS, RSICS, and TRICS) and a documentation to run the main scripts on GitHub (https://github.com/VaDu8989/SpectralFFS). Data are pooled from two independent experiments. This results in a better signal-to-noise ratio, and lowers the detection limit by approximately a factor 10000,[3] when compared to the 180 geometry. 0.7, see RSICS data in Figure 6 and previously published data in Dunsing et al., Sci. For example, it is possible to quantify the relative cross-correlation of two subunits, e.g. -, Hutt D.M., Powers E.T., Balch W.E. They showed the proof-of-principle with tandem proteins. To quantify the stoichiometry of the PC directly, we analyzed the molecular brightness of RSICS measurements for all three fluorophore species. Anna Akhmanova, Kim SA, Heinze KG, Bacia K, Waxham MN, Schwille P. Two-photon cross-correlation analysis of intracellular reactions with variable stoichiometry. Signaling pathways in biological systems rely on specific interactions between multiple biomolecules. We placed the mEYFP tag at the C-terminus of LC3, i.e. The M2 protein was tagged at the extracellular N-terminus. The obtained values for the diffusion of FP oligomers, e.g. The data shown on Page 19/20 were obtained by RSICS measurements in the cytoplasm, not on the plasma membrane. Before The corresponding values after applying the empirical correction are shown as blue circles in the panels labeled as corrected.. For the other FP combinations requiring excitation with two laser lines, the obtained rel.cc. This explanation is supported by the correlation between rel.cc.PA-Y,PB2-Ch2 and the relative abundance of PB1-mEGFP (Figure 6figure supplement 1A). LC3 docks with the LIR motif via hydrophobic pockets located in the middle region of its sequence (Hamacher-Brady and Brady, Cell. However, values slightly larger than 1 are obtained. Nevertheless, we cannot rule this out completely and thus added a sentence to the manuscript (lines 776-778). That would give the readers a clear picture what can and cannot be done with this new technique. Also, the stoichiometry of the complex was reported only for one of the three subunits, that is, PA protein dimerization. -, Labbadia J., Morimoto R.I. The mEGFP-(L)-mApple construct was cloned beforehand by amplifying mApple from PMT-mApple (Sankaran et al., 2021) (a kind gift from Thorsten Wohland) and inserting it into mEGFP-(L)_pcDNA3.1+ by digestion with BamHI and EcoRI.

Tetin (DF) SFSCS cross-correlation functions (CCFs) (dark blue/ light blue/orange/yellow/red/dark red for CCFs calculated for mEGFP and mEYFP/mEGFP and mApple/mEGFP and mCherry2/mEYFP and mApple/mEYFP and mCherry2/mApple and mCherry2) from measurements described in (AC) (CCFs in (D)/(E)/(F)) corresponding to ACFs shown in (A)/(B)/(C). These time series were then temporally binned with a binning factor of 2 and subsequently transformed into the contributions Fit of each fluorophore species i (i.e., one fluorescence time series for each species) by applying the spectral filtering algorithm presented by Benda et al., 2014: Spectral filter functions fik were calculated based on reference emission spectra pik that were determined for each individual species i from single species measurements performed on each day using the same acquisition settings: Here, M^ is a matrix with elements Mki=pik and D is a diagonal matrix, D=diag1/Fkt . It would be interesting if the authors could comment on the day-to-day variability of their calibrations. Incomplete maturation or non-fluorescent photophysical states of FP tags will reduce the amount of detectable ternary complexes. In the case of uncorrelated data, that is, for CFs fluctuating around zero, this constraint can generate low, but positive correlation amplitudes due to noise. The increase in noise as a result of filtering may prevent detection of weak protein interactions due to the low SNR of CCFs in this case. As they measure multiple probes simultaneously, the authors can go beyond binary correlations. MeSH tefl M, Herbst K, Rbsam M, Benda A, Knop M.

Dark states in monomeric red fluorescent proteins studied by fluorescence correlation and single molecule spectroscopy. rel.cc.=0.72 for mEYFP-mEGFP hetero-dimers in 2-species SFSCS, Figure 1). The choice of fluorophores, its dimerization tendency and the relative labeling densities of each species might influence the cross-correlation observable so a careful validation should be considered and discussed to validate the general applicability of the methodology in various biological applications. From the amplitude ratios of ACFs and CCFs, we determined rel.cc. Here, we review a suite of methods based on fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) and how they have been employed to interrogate chromatin From this value, an estimate of the oligomeric state i was determined by normalizing Bi by the average molecular brightness Bi,1 of the corresponding monomeric reference, and, subsequently, by the fluorescence probability pf,i for species i: i=BiBi,1-1pf,i+1, as previously derived (Dunsing et al., 2018). The autophagy marker protein LC3 was recently shown to be recruited to the PM in IAV-infected cells (see also Figure 3figure supplement 4A,B), promoting filamentous budding and virion stability, thus indicating a role of LC3 in virus assembly (Beale et al., 2014). To calibrate the focal volume, point FCS measurements with Alexa Fluor 488 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) dissolved in water at 20 nM were performed at the same laser power. The paper includes a reliable validation and description of the method as well as a proof of principle application and assessment of potential limitations. Finally, we used these improvements to study endogenous -actin mRNA, which has 24xMS2 binding sites inserted into the 3' untranslated region. Burkhardt M, Heinze KG, Schwille P.

The obtained diffusion times (between 6 and 9 ms at high time resolution, panel A) and particle numbers (panel B) are very similar for the first three binning modalities and start to decrease above 2 ms binning, indicating that a resolution lower than this value might induce biased estimates. Data are pooled from three (2x-mEGFP + mEYFP + mCherry2, 2x-mEGFP + 2x-mEYFP + 2x-mCherry2), four (PA-mEYFP + PB1-mEGFP + PB2-mCherry2), or five (mEGFP + mEYFP + mCherry2) independent experiments.

Abstract. is defined, quantifying the fraction of triple complexes relative to the total number of proteins of the species that is present in the lowest concentration: All data are displayed as scatter dot plots indicating mean values and SDs. Imaging therapeutic peptide transport across intestinal barriers. A previous investigation using FCCS suggested an assembly model in which PA and PB1 form heterodimers in the cytoplasm of cells. As a proof of concept, we performed four-species measurements on three different samples: (i) cells co-expressing all four FPs independently as membrane-anchored proteins (mp-G + mp-Y + mp-A + mp-Ch2), (ii) cells co-expressing mp-mCherry2-mEGFP heterodimers, mp-mEYFP, and mp-mApple (mp-Ch2-G + mp-Y + mp-A), and (iii) cells expressing mp-mEYFP-mCherry2-mEGFP-mApple hetero-tetramers (mp-Y-Ch2-G-A). (D) Representative fluorescence images of HEK 293T cells co-expressing CD9-mEGFP, LC3-mEYFP, and IAV protein M2-mCh2. Here, we applied fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy to quantitatively characterize and enhance the MS2 system. Having the tags on M2 and CD9 on different sides of the plasma membrane (EC/IC) should minimize potential hindrance in the interactions. To obtain mp-mEGFP-mEYFP, a mp-mEGFP_pcDNA3.1+ vector was first generated by amplifying mp-mEGFP insert from the respective plasmid, and inserting it into pcDNA3.1+ vector (obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific) by digestion with NheI and AflII. 2019 May 21;116(10):1918-1930. doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.2019.04.014. Label and quantify mRNA molecules in live cell experiments using SunRISER and dNEMO. Data are pooled from two independent experiments for each sample. Within each of these electronic states there are various vibrational states. In the case of interactions, the fit converges to positive values. FRET artifacts can be minimized using appropriate linkers, for example, rigid linker peptides, as presented here. As mentioned before, the fluorescence is most often measured at a 90 angle relative to the excitation light. Next, we tested whether the same approach can be used for FPs with overlapping emission in the red region of the visible spectrum, which generally suffer from reduced SNR in FFS applications (Dunsing et al., 2018; Foust et al., 2019). Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies A three-dimensional normal diffusion RICS fit model (Digman et al., 2005; Digman et al., 2009b) for Gaussian focal volume geometry (with particle number N, diffusion coefficient D, waist 0, and structure parameter S as free fit parameters) was then fitted to both ACFs and CCFs: where p, l denote the pixel dwell and line time and s the pixel size. The approaches would thus strongly benefit from a multiparametric analysis. values normalized to the positive control were 0.71 for B-C, 0.97 for A-C, and 1.43 for A-B, see Figure 6D). The discussed methods include fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), imaging FCS, image correlation spectroscopy (ICS), photobleaching ICS Eur Biophys J. (F) SNR of ACFs for mApple (light red) and mCherry2 (dark red), obtained from SFSCS measurements described in (D), plotted as a function of the average ratio of detected mApple and mCherry2 fluorescence. Hence, SFSCS yielded correct estimates of diffusion dynamics and allowed to distinguish faster and slower diffusing protein species tagged with spectrally strongly overlapping FPs. Any negative values would be a clear indication that the correlation just indicates noise. the peak appears at a wavenumber 3600cm1 lower than the excitation light in water. Afterwards, mEYFP was amplified from mp-mEYFP and inserted into mp-mEGFP_pcDNA3.1+ using digestion with AflII and KpnI. Differences between calibrated and actual spectra could induce errors in filtering and cause residual cross-talk between different FP species (Schrimpf et al., 2018). Figure 3), we have now analyzed the SNR of the ACFs obtained from measurements on cells co-expressing mp-mEGFP, mp-mEYFP and mp-mCherry2 (see Author response image 9). Sanstrum BJ, Goo BMSS, Holden DZY, Delgado DD, Nguyen TPN, Lee KD, James NG. RSICS analysis followed the implementation introduced recently (Schrimpf et al., 2018), which is based on applying the mathematical framework of FLCS and FSCS (Benda et al., 2014; Bhmer et al., 2002) to RICS. We measured individual emission spectra (Figure 1figure supplement 1) for single-species samples to calculate three-species spectral filters (Figure 3figure supplement 1), which we then used to decompose the signal detected in cells expressing multiple FPs into the contribution of each species. Additionally, the transmission efficiency of monochromators and filters must be taken into account. This indicates that differences in observation volumes or pf are small. Epub 2015 Mar 11. Rev. Epub 2016 Nov 10. Human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells from the 293T line (purchased from ATCC, Manassas, VA; CRL-3216TM) and human epithelial lung cells A549 (ATCC, CCL-185TM) were cultured in Dulbeccos modified Eagle medium (DMEM) with the addition of fetal bovine serum (10%), L-glutamine (2 mM), penicillin (100 U/mL), and streptomycin (100 g/mL). As these are membrane probes with the fluorescent proteins not expected to interact with the membrane, is there an explanation for the factor 2? On the contrary, positive values are obtained for truly correlating samples (e.g. Jorba N, Area E, Ortn J. Oligomerization of the influenza virus polymerase complex in vivo. For both approaches, two excitation wavelengths are currently required for three- and four-species detection. We then calculate the maximum rel.cc. G3C(1,1) also includes in its averaged value the other seven correlation values corresponding, for example, to (1=0,1=1,2=1,2=0), (1=1,1=0,2=0,2=-1), etc. I suggest the authors to provide further experiment and eventually simulation to characterize such dynamic range. Our method Quantifying membrane protein oligomerization with fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy. Whereas similar brightness values were obtained for mEYFP and mCherry2 in both samples, for example, relative brightness of 1.04 0.23 for mEYFP and 1.03 0.21 for mCherry2 (mean SD, n = 25 cells/n = 28 cells), a higher brightness of 1.70 0.46 was measured for mEGFP in the first sample (Figure 3G). (AF) Representative RSICS spatial autocorrelation functions (ACFs) (A, C, E) and cross-correlation functions (CCFs) (B, D, F) obtained from four-species RSICS measurements on A549 cells. obtained for pairs of green/yellow and red FPs, e.g. There has also been a report of its use in differentiating malignant skin tumors from benign. The proteostasis boundary in misfolding diseases of membrane traffic. We use the TTM to demonstrate live-cell super-resolved fluorescence lifetime image scanning microscopy and fluorescence lifetime fluctuation spectroscopy. Then, all aligned line scans were averaged over time and fitted with a Gaussian function.
