The nuclear exit of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is an essential step in the translation process of all proteins. The current limitations of conventional fluorescence and electron microscopy have prevented elucidation of how mRNA exports through the NPCs of live cells. In the recent years, various single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) microscopy techniques have been developed to improve the temporal and spatial resolutions of live-cell imaging allowing a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of mRNA export through native NPCs. In this review, we firstly evaluate the necessity of single-molecule live-cell microscopy in the study of mRNA nuclear export. Then, we highlight the application of single-point edge-excitation sub-diffraction (SPEED) microscopy that combines high-speed SMF microscopy and a 2D-to-3D transformation algorithm in the studies of nuclear transport kinetics and route for mRNAs. Finally, we summarize the new features of mRNA nuclear export found with SPEED microscopy as well as the reliability and accuracy of SPEED microscopy in mapping the 3D spatial locations of transport routes adopted by proteins and mRNAs through the NPCs.

通过 SPEED 显微镜研究 mRNA 分子的核输出



信使 RNA (mRNA) 分子通过核孔复合体 (NPC) 出核是所有蛋白质翻译过程中的重要步骤。目前传统荧光和电子显微镜的局限性无法阐明 mRNA 如何通过活细胞的 NPC 输出。近年来,各种单分子荧光 (SMF) 显微技术得到了发展,以提高活细胞成像的时间和空间分辨率,从而可以更全面地了解通过天然 NPC 输出 mRNA 的动态。在这篇综述中,我们首先评估了单分子活细胞显微镜在mRNA核输出研究中的必要性。然后,我们重点介绍了结合高速 SMF 显微镜和 2D 到 3D 转换算法的单点边缘激发亚衍射 (SPEED) 显微镜在核转运动力学和 mRNA 路径研究中的应用。最后,我们总结了 SPEED 显微镜发现的 mRNA 核输出的新特征,以及 SPEED 显微镜在绘制蛋白质和 mRNA 通过 NPC 所采用的运输路线的 3D 空间位置方面的可靠性和准确性。
