Visualization of the Peroxisomal Compartment in Living Mammalian Cells: Dynamic Behavior and Association with Microtubules

Wiemer, Erik A.C., Wenzel, Thibaut, Deerinck, Thomas J., Ellisman, Mark H., Subramani, Suresh·1997·The Journal of Cell Biology

Abstract

Peroxisomes in living CV1 cells were visualized by targeting the green fluorescent protein (GFP) to this subcellular compartment through the addition of a COOH-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal 1 (GFP–PTS1). The organelle dynamics were examined and analyzed using time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy. Two types of movement could be distinguished: a relatively slow, random, vibration-like movement displayed by the majority (∼95%) of the peroxisomes, and a saltatory, fast directional movement displayed by a small subset (∼5%) of the peroxisomes. In the latter instance, peak velocities up to 0.75 μm/s and sustained directional velocities up to 0.45 μm/s over 11.5 μm were recorded. Only the directional type of motion appeared to be energy dependent, whereas the vibrational movement continued even after the cells were depleted of energy. Treatment of cells, transiently expressing GFP–PTS1, with microtubule-destabilizing agents such as nocodazole, vinblastine, and demecolcine clearly altered peroxisome morphology and subcellular distribution and blocked the directional movement. In contrast, the microtubule-stabilizing compound paclitaxel, or the microfilament-destabilizing drugs cytochalasin B or D, did not exert these effects. High resolution confocal analysis of cells expressing GFP–PTS1 and stained with anti-tubulin antibodies revealed that many peroxisomes were associated with microtubules. The GFP–PTS1–labeled peroxisomes were found to distribute themselves in a stochastic, rather than ordered, manner to daughter cells at the time of mitosis.

Figure 1 GFP–PTS1 expression construct. A mutant version (S65T) of the GFP cDNA was cloned into the vector pcDNA3 as described in Materials and Methods. The resulting plasmids either expressed GFP (pGFP) alone or GFP onto which a peroxisomal type I targeting signal (Ser-Lys-Leu-COOH) was fused at its COOH-terminal end (pGFP-PTS1). Depicted is pGFP-PTS1 containing the GFP–PTS1 construct under control of the human cytomegalovirus intermediate early promoter/enhancer region (pCMV).

Figure 2 Subcellular localization of GFP and GFP–PTS1 in CV1 cells. CV1 cells were cultured on coverslips, transfected with pGFP and pGFP-PTS1. After 48 h the cells were examined directly for GFP–PTS1 (A) or GFP (B) expression. Alternatively, pGFP-PTS1– transfected CV1 cells were fixed, permeabilized, and processed for immunofluorescence. In a double-labeling experiment, the cells were incubated with rabbit anti–PMP70, and subsequently with goat anti–rabbit IgG conjugated to rhodamine. The cells were monitored for the subcellular localization of GFP–PTS1 (C) in the FITC channel and PMP70 (D) in the rhodamine channel. Bar, 10 μm.

Figure 3 Time-lapse motion analysis of the dynamics of peroxisomes in living CV1 cells expressing GFP–PTS1. A representative single cell was selected, and single-frame confocal images were recorded at 6.4-s intervals for a total of 500 frames. 20 consecutive frames were chosen for motion analysis. (A) Three confocal images from the series are shown at time = 0 (frame 001), time = 64 s (frame 010), and time = 128 s (frame 020). Most peroxisomes displayed a slow, random movement within a limited space, leaving their overall distribution relatively unchanged after ∼2 min. Bar, 10 μm. (B) Plot of the peak velocities of 85 individual peroxisomes (∼50% of the cell population) observed over 20 consecutive frames revealed two distinct types of motion. The majority (95%) exhibited a localized, random type of Brownian motion with peak velocities of <0.2 μm/s. A smaller number (∼5%) exhibited a faster motion characterized by peak velocities of >0.2 μm/s and as great as 0.68 μm/s. (C) Plot of the mean average velocity of 85 individual peroxisomes over 20 consecutive frames also showed two distinct types of motion. The majority exhibited a localized, random type of Brownian motion with an average velocity of <0.05 μm/s, while the faster moving peroxisomes displayed an average velocity of >0.05 μm/s. (D) Vector diagram plot tracking the motion of eight representative individual peroxisomes (A–H) corresponding to those marked in C. A–E exhibited very little net displacement and were characteristic of the majority of peroxisomes. Peroxisome F exhibited sporadic motion, G was relatively stationary for several frames before exhibiting rapid directional motion, and H had a more continuous, rapid directional motion over the time course (1 pixel = 0.13 μm).

Figure 4 Time-lapse analysis of the effects of paclitaxel and nocodazole on the dynamics of peroxisomes in living CV1 cells expressing GFP–PTS1. Representative single cells were selected and confocal images were taken at 6.4-s intervals for a total of 500 frames. 20 frames for each condition were chosen for motion analysis. (A) Three confocal images of a cell treated with paclitaxel at time = 0 (frame 001), time = 64 s (frame 010), and time = 128 s (frame 020) are shown. The overall distribution of peroxisomes was similar to that in normal cells. (B) Plot of the peak velocity of 85 individual peroxisomes (∼50% of the cell population) over 20 consecutive frames appeared similar to that found in normal cells (Fig. 3 B). (C) Plot of the mean average velocity of 85 individual peroxisomes over 20 consecutive frames appeared similar to that found in normal cells (Fig. 3 C). (D) Vector diagram plot tracking the motion of eight representative peroxisomes (A–H) corresponding to those marked in C. A–D were relatively motionless, while E and F exhibited sporadic motion and G and H exhibited more continuous rapid motion (1 pixel = 0.13 μm). The average velocities and mean changes in position were similar to those found in normal cells (Fig. 3 D). (E) Three frames from a series as in A of a cell treated with nocodazole showed an abnormal clustering of peroxisomes. (F) Plot of the peak velocity of 85 individual peroxisomes (∼50% of the cell population) over 20 consecutive frames appeared abnormal. All peroxisomes exhibited only a localized, random type of Brownian motion with none exceeding a peak velocity 0.2 μm/s. (G) Plot of the mean average velocity showed that only a few peroxisomes exceeded 0.05 μm/s. (H) Vector diagram plot tracking the motion of eight representative peroxisomes (A–H) corresponding to those marked in G. None of the peroxisomes exhibited rapid motion or displacements >0.5 μm over the time course (1 pixel = 0.13 μm).

Figure 5 High resolution confocal analysis of the movement of individual peroxisomes. (A) Five frames (000–004) taken at 6.4-s intervals showed the rapid unidirectional movement of a single peroxisome (arrows). The peak velocity of this peroxisome was 0.75 μm/s with an average velocity measured over 11.5 μm of 0.45 μm/s. (B) 15 frames (000–014) taken at 6.4-s intervals showed the bidirectional movement of a single elongated peroxisome. In frames 001–006, a peroxisome could be seen making a rapid looping motion and coming to a complete stop (arrows). In frames 006 and 007, the long axis of the peroxisome was oriented in the vertical dimension. In frames 007–014, the same peroxisome reversed course and returned along the same path with a similar velocity (arrows). Bars, 10 μm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
