    Nuclear speckle dynamics and function of speckle association in gene expression

    No full text
    Nuclear speckles have been studied intensively for a long time. Accumulating evidence has suggested that nuclear speckles have a dynamic structure, and are associated with a significant fraction of active chromosome regions and genes. However, their mobility and the regulation mechanism of their number and size are still poorly understood. Importantly, the functional significance of the speckle-gene association also remains unclear. To understand speckle dynamics and effects of speckle-gene association on gene expression better, I study the mobility of nuclear speckle bodies and its effect on morphological change of speckle size in chapter 2, and transcription enhancement by speckle-gene association in chapter 3. In chapter 2, I show significantly increased mobility of nuclear speckles after transcriptional inhibition, including long-range directed motion of one speckle towards another speckle, terminated by speckle fusion, over distances up to 4 µm and with velocities between 0.2-1.5 µm/min. Frequently, 3 or even 4 speckles follow very similar paths, with new speckles appearing along the path followed by a preceding speckle. Speckle movements and fusion events contribute to the formation of fewer but larger speckles after transcriptional inhibition. These speckle movements are not actin-dependent, but occur within chromatin-depleted channels enriched with small granules containing the speckle-marker protein SON. Our observations suggest a mechanism for long-range, directed nuclear speckle movements, contributing to the overall regulation of nuclear speckle number and size as well as the nuclear organization. In chapter 3, I show nuclear speckle association results in several-fold transcriptional amplification of Hsp70 genes. Hsp70 BAC transgenes and endogenous genes turn on 2-4 mins after heat shock irrespective of their distance to nuclear speckles. However, I observe 12-56-fold and 3-7-fold higher transcription levels for speckle-associated Hsp70 transgenes and endogenous genes, respectively, after 1-2 hrs heat shock. Several-fold higher transcription levels for several genes flanking the Hsp70 locus also correlate with speckle-association at 37 ℃. Live-cell imaging reveals this modulation of Hsp70 transcription temporally correlates with speckle association/disassociation. Our results demonstrate stochastic gene expression dependent on positioning relative to a liquid-droplet nuclear compartment enriched in RNA processing and transcription-related factors through a “transcriptional amplification” mechanism, which is distinct from transcriptional bursting.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Jiah Kim, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-28 at 11:39.The student, Jiah Kim, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-11-28 at 11:47.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-11-30 at 11:31.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13133 on 2019-02-07 at 14:18:29Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:36:03Z (GMT).

    Deep learning enables fast, gentle STED microscopy

    No full text
    STED microscopy is widely used to image subcellular structures with super-resolution. Here, we report that denoising STED images with deep learning can mitigate photobleaching and photodamage by reducing the pixel dwell time by one or two orders of magnitude. Our method allows for efficient and robust restoration of noisy 2D and 3D STED images with multiple targets and facilitates long-term imaging of mitochondrial dynamics

    As cofounder of legendary rock band Sonic Youth, best-selling author, and celebrated artist, Kim Gordon is one of the most singular and influential figures of the modern era. This personally curated scrapbook is an edgy and evocative portrait of Gordon s life, art, and style. Spanning from her childhood on Californian surf beaches in the 60s and 70s to New York s downtown art and music scene in the 80s and 90s where Sonic Youth was born. Through unpublished personal photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, fashion editorials, and advertising campaigns, interspersed with Gordon s song lyrics, writings, artworks, private objects, and ephemera, this book demonstrates how Kim Gordon has been a role model for generations of women and me
