Quantitative analysis of autophagy-related protein stoichiometry by fluorescence microscopy
In yeast, approximately 31 autophagy-related (Atg) proteins have been identified. Most of them reside at the phagophore assembly site (PAS), although the function of the PAS mostly remains unclear. One reason for the latter is the lack of stoichiometric information regarding the Atg proteins at this site. We report the application of fluorescence microscopy to study the amount of Atg proteins a...
متن کاملStoichiometry and compositional plasticity of the yeast nuclear pore complex revealed by quantitative fluorescence microscopy
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is an 8-fold symmetrical channel providing selective transport of biomolecules across the nuclear envelope. Each NPC consists of ~30 different nuclear pore proteins (Nups) all present in multiple copies per NPC. Significant progress has recently been made in the characterization of the vertebrate NPC structure, however, because of the estimated size differences be...
متن کاملDetermining absolute protein numbers by quantitative fluorescence microscopy.
Biological questions are increasingly being addressed using a wide range of quantitative analytical tools to examine protein complex composition. Knowledge of the absolute number of proteins present provides insights into organization, function, and maintenance and is used in mathematical modeling of complex cellular dynamics. In this chapter, we outline and describe three microscopy-based meth...
متن کاملQuantitative Fluorescence Microscopy
Printed in the Netherlands " You have walked to the edge of the great mosaic of human knowledge. Up until now, you have been living in a world full of ideas and concepts that other people have set out for you. Now it is your turn. You get to design a piece of the mosaic and glue it down. It just has to fit with what else is there. And if you do a good job shaping your tile, it will be easier fo...
