Maximum-likelihood model fitting for quantitative analysis of SMLM data

Yu-Le Wu et al.

Summary: Quantitative data analysis is crucial for extracting biological insights from the coordinates of single fluorophores in a single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) workflow. LocMoFit, an open-source framework, is introduced to fit an arbitrary model to localization coordinates, extract meaningful parameters, and select suitable models. It enables the analysis of complex, heterogeneous, and dynamic structures, and has been demonstrated in assembling multi-protein distribution maps, calculating single-particle averages, and performing time-resolved reconstruction of dynamic processes from static snapshots. Extensive simulation and visualization routines validate the robustness of LocMoFit, and tutorials are provided to enhance users' extraction of information from SMLM data.

Ångstrom-resolution fluorescence microscopy

Susanne C. M. Reinhardt et al.

Summary: Fluorescence microscopy is a major characterization method in the life sciences, but current super-resolution techniques do not achieve Angstrom resolution. This study introduces a DNA-barcoding method that greatly improves the resolution of fluorescence microscopy, allowing for single-protein resolution in intact cells. The method also demonstrates Angstrom resolution for DNA origami.

Karyopherin-mediated nucleocytoplasmic transport

Casey E. Wing et al.

Summary: Efficient and regulated nucleocytoplasmic trafficking is crucial for the proper functions of eukaryotic cells. The Karyopherin-beta (Kap) family of nuclear transport receptors mediates the majority of macromolecular traffic across the nuclear pores. Understanding how Kap family members transport their cargoes into the nucleus or the cytoplasm and how these interactions are regulated is essential for understanding nuclear export and import of proteins and RNA and their physiological functions.

AI-based structure prediction empowers integrative structural analysis of human nuclear pores

Shyamal Mosalaganti et al.

Summary: This study combines artificial intelligence-based structure prediction with in situ structural biology to reveal the structure and function of the human nuclear pore complex (NPC) scaffold. The findings demonstrate the importance of linker nucleoporins in establishing the higher-order structure of the scaffold and suggest that it widens the central pore rather than stabilizing the fusion of the inner and outer nuclear membranes.

Cone-shaped HIV-1 capsids are transported through intact nuclear pores

Vojtech Zila et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the diameter of the nuclear pore complex in infected T cells is sufficient for the import of intact, cone-shaped capsids, with uncoating occurring by breaking the capsid open after nuclear import rather than disassembly into individual subunits. This visualization of a key step in HIV-1 replication enhances our understanding of the viral life cycle.

The cellular environment shapes the nuclear pore complex architecture

Anthony P. Schuller et al.

Summary: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) form large conduits for cargo transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm, composed of various nucleoporins distributed in inner, cytoplasmic, and nucleoplasmic rings. Cryo-electron tomography on DLD-1 cells revealed structural differences in the human NPC compared to previous models, showing wider inner ring, increased central channel volume, and reorganized rings. The study highlights the flexibility of NPC and its dependence on the cellular environment for maintaining structural integrity.
