This protocol aims to visualize the filamentous actin network in . We improved fixed-cell labeling conditions using the F-actin probe, phalloidin. We created a -optimized protocol by halving the phalloidin incubation time, electing for optimal fixation conditions, and selecting for a healthy cell population. This phalloidin protocol is quick, effective, and is the only labeling method to date that allows for reliable actin filament detection in fixed vegetative cells. This method reveals previously unidentified actin structures in and novel insights into cytoskeletal dynamics.
本方案旨在可视化……中的丝状肌动蛋白网络。我们使用F-肌动蛋白探针鬼笔环肽改进了固定细胞标记条件。我们通过将鬼笔环肽孵育时间减半、选择最佳固定条件以及挑选健康细胞群体,创建了一种优化方案。这种鬼笔环肽方案快速、有效,是迄今为止唯一一种能够在固定的营养细胞中可靠检测肌动蛋白丝的标记方法。该方法揭示了……中以前未被识别的肌动蛋白结构以及对细胞骨架动力学的新见解。
