Open AccessDynamic movement of the Golgi unit and its glycosylation enzyme zones
Knowledge on the distribution and dynamics of glycosylation enzymes in the Golgi is essential for better understanding this modification. Here, using a combination of CRISPR/Cas9 knockin technology and super-r...

Open AccessSingle-molecule localization microscopy reveals STING clustering at the trans-Golgi network through palmitoylation-dependent accumulation of cholesterol
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is critical for the type I interferon response to pathogen- or self-derived DNA in the cytosol. STING may function as a scaffold to activate TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1),...

Hierarchical supramolecular structure comprising reduction-responsive DNA microspheres and semi-artificial glycopeptide-based micro-asters
Herein, we describe the construction of a hierarchical supramolecular structure comprising reduction-responsive DNA microspheres and semi-artificial glycopeptide-based micro-asters, which are obtained from the...

Fluorescent GD2 analog for single-molecule imaging
Ganglioside GD2 is associated with the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. However, the precise role of GD2 is unclear because its tendency to form dynamic and transient domains in cell plasma ...

Protocol
Single-Molecule Imaging of Ganglioside Probes in Living Cell Plasma Membranes
Gangliosides play a variety of physiological roles and are one of the most important lipid raft constituents. However, their dynamic behaviors have scarcely been investigated in living cells because of the lac...

Open AccessAMPA receptors in the synapse turnover by monomer diffusion
The number and subunit compositions of AMPA receptors (AMPARs), hetero- or homotetramers composed of four subunits GluA1–4, in the synapse is carefully tuned to sustain basic synaptic activity. This enables st...

Open AccessDual-FRET imaging of IP3 and Ca2+ revealed Ca2+-induced IP3 production maintains long lasting Ca2+ oscillations in fertilized mouse eggs
In most species, fertilization induces Ca2+ transients in the egg. In mammals, the Ca2+ rises are triggered by phospholipase Cζ (PLCζ) released from the sperm; IP3 generated by PLCζ induces Ca2+ release from the ...

Super-long single-molecule tracking reveals dynamic-anchorage-induced integrin function
Single-fluorescent-molecule imaging tracking (SMT) is becoming an important tool to study living cells. However, photobleaching and photoblinking (hereafter referred to as photobleaching/photoblinking) of the ...

Raft-based interactions of gangliosides with a GPI-anchored receptor
Monitoring new fluorescent ganglioside analogs at a single-molecule level suggests that gangliosides associate dynamically with GPI-anchored protein monomers, transient homodimer rafts, and clustered signaling...

Protocol
Single-Molecule Imaging of Signal Transduction via GPI-Anchored Receptors
Lipid rafts have been drawing extensive attention as a signaling platform. To investigate molecular interactions in lipid rafts, we often need to observe molecules in the plasma membranes of living cells becau...

Article
Transient GPI-anchored protein homodimers are units for raft organization and function
Single-molecule imaging reveals that GPI-anchored proteins in the plasma membrane form homodimer rafts via ectodomain protein interactions. Raft-lipid interactions stabilize higher order oligomers, which trigg...
