Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Average ROI area and fluorescence intensity of segmented RNR2-FISH signals in maximum intensity projections of imaged IMR90 cells when SUV3 depletion is induced in cells after incubation in CAP (50 μg/ml) (DMSO: n = 16, CAP: n = 12). (** P < 0.01, Mann-Whitney test). ( B ) Average size and fluorescence intensity of segmented RNR2-FISH signals in maximum intensity projections of IMR90 cells incubated in CAP (50 μg/ml), imaged 7 days after transfection with sgSUV3 RNP complexes (DMSO: n = 17, CAP: n = 18). (not significant, Mann-Whitney test). ( C ) Representative images of control (top) and 50 μM CAP-treated (bottom) cells 7 days after transfection with sgSUV3 RNP complexes, fixed, and immunolabeled to detect dsRNA (J2; blue), TOM20 (green), and RNA-FISH against RNR2 (magenta). Scale bars, 5 μm; 1 μm in zoom. ( D ) Representative image of control (top) and day 4 sgSUV3 (bottom) cells, fixed, and immunolabeled to detect dsRNA (J2; green), GRSF1 (blue), and RNR2-FISH against RNR2 (magenta). Scale bars, 5 μm; 1 μm in zoom. ( E ) Representative image of control (top) and day 4 sgSUV3 (bottom) cells, pulse-labeled with 50 μM HPG for 15 min (green), fixed, and immunolabeled to detect dsRNA (J2; blue) and RNA-FISH against RNR2 (magenta). Scale bars, 5 μm; 1 μm in zoom. ( F ) Proposed model for organization of mitochondrial gene expression into translational hubs and their remodeling during stress.
Article Snippet: To generate SUV3-HA and SUV3 G207V -HA, the human SUV3 cDNA was synthesized (Twist Bioscience) with or without the G207V amino acid substitution, including an HA tag appended to the C terminus of the sequence, and cloned into the pTwist cytomegalovirus-driven mammalian expression vector.
