| Research Abstract |
Using novel microscopy based on total internal reflection fluorescent microscopy (TIRF), we were able to clearly visualize single fluorescent molecules of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged importin β, a carrier protein, and GFP-tagged cargo protein during transport on the nuclear envelope in both permeabilized cells and in living cells. Image analysis of single nuclear pores showed that two point resolution of 70 nm was achieved. Kinetic parameters of the interactions between translocating molecules and NPCs were obtained through quantitative analysis. Two types of binding were found ; weaker binding sites, which gathers up to 〜100 molecules/NPC, concentrating substrates locally ; and stronger binding sites, where up to 〜8 molecules/NPC are bound. Retention times by single molecule analysis and translocation rates by single nuclear analysis showed a significant correlation with a coefficient of 〜8 molecules/NPC, which exhibits the stoichiometry of transport. We termed weaker binding sites as a "multiplex sites", which is likely to consist from FG-repeat containing nucleoporins. Based on correlation coefficient, we proposed presence of 8 "transit site" in nuclear pore complex. Whether this transit site is equivalent to strong binding sites observed remains to be elucidated in the further study. Whether the findings account for different pathways, which show a wide range of transport rates, also remains to be elucidated. In the parallel experiments, we have purified, and identified 70kDa heat-shock cognate protein (hsc70) as a molecule that facilitates recycling of importin β. The effect of hsc70 was observed, not only in the case of the nuclear export of importin β but also for that of another import receptors, transportin and importin α. These results suggest that hsc70 broadly modulates nucleocytoplasmic transport systems by regulating nuclear export of receptor proteins (Kose et al., J Cell Biol. 2005).
