Single-molecule imaging of translational output from individual RNA granules in neurons
Dendritic RNAs are localized and translated in RNA granules. Here we use single-molecule imaging to count the number of RNA molecules in each granule and to record translation output from each granule using Venus fluorescent protein as a reporter. For RNAs encoding activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated protein (ARC) or fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), translation events are spa...
متن کاملSingle molecule imaging of RNA in situ.
This protocol describes a method to image individual mRNA molecules in situ. About 50 oligonucleotides complementary to different regions of a target mRNA species are used simultaneously. Each probe is labeled with a single fluorescent moiety. When these probes bind to their target, each mRNA molecule becomes so intensely fluorescent that it can be seen as a fine fluorescent spot. Several diffe...
متن کاملTranslocation of RNA granules in living neurons.
Sorting of RNAs to specific subcellular loci occurs in diverse settings from fly oocytes to mammalian neurons. Using the membrane-permeable nucleic acid stain SYTO 14, we directly visualized the translocation of endogenous RNA in living cells. Labeled RNA was distributed nonrandomly as discrete granules in neuronal processes. The labeled granules colocalized with poly(A+) mRNA, with the 60S rib...
متن کاملSingle-molecule Live-cell Imaging of a Non-coding Rna
RNA is a recent target for bioimaging studies. For example, subcellular localization of particular mRNAs has been investigated and the dynamics of them have been partially revealed [1, 2]. On the other hand, few studies have been reported on live cell imaging of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in spite of the importance of ncRNAs that are implicated in controlling biological events especially in the n...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization: Quantitative imaging of single RNA molecules
In situ detection of RNAs is becoming increasingly important for analysis of gene expression within and between intact cells in tissues. International genomics efforts are now cataloging patterns of RNA transcription that play roles in cell function, differentiation, and disease formation, and they are demonstrating the importance of coding and noncoding RNA transcripts in these processes. Howe...
