Stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy allows observations of subcellular dynamics at the nanoscale. Applications have, however, been severely limited by the lack of a versatile STED-compatible two-colour labelling strategy for intracellular targets in living cells. Here we demonstrate a universal labelling method based on the organic, membrane-permeable dyes SiR and ATTO590 as Halo and SNAP substrates. SiR and ATTO590 constitute the first suitable dye pair for two-colour STED imaging in living cells below 50 nm resolution. We show applications with mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane and Golgi-localized proteins, and demonstrate continuous acquisition for up to 3 min at 2-s time resolution.
受激发射损耗(STED)纳米显微镜能够在纳米尺度上观察亚细胞动力学。然而,由于缺乏一种适用于活细胞内靶点的通用的与STED兼容的双色标记策略,其应用受到了严重限制。在此,我们展示了一种基于有机的、可透过细胞膜的染料SiR和ATTO590作为Halo和SNAP底物的通用标记方法。SiR和ATTO590构成了第一对适用于分辨率低于50 nm的活细胞双色STED成像的染料。我们展示了该方法在定位在线粒体、内质网、质膜和高尔基体的蛋白质上的应用,并证明了能够以2秒的时间分辨率连续采集长达3分钟的数据。
