Clus-DoC: A combined cluster detection and colocalization analysis for single-molecule localization microscopy data.
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL(2016)
Abstract
Advances in fluorescence microscopy are providing increasing evidence that the spatial organization of proteins in cell membranes may facilitate signal initiation and integration for appropriate cellular responses. Our understanding of how changes in spatial organization are linked to function has been hampered by the inability to directly measure signaling activity or protein association at the level of individual proteins in intact cells. Here we solve this measurement challenge by developing Clus-DoC, an analysis strategy that quantifies both the spatial distribution of a protein and its colocalization status. We apply this approach to the triggering of the T-cell receptor during T-cell activation, as well as to the functionality of focal adhesions in fibroblasts, thereby demonstrating an experimental and analytical work-flow that can be used to quantify signaling activity and protein colocalization at the level of individual proteins.
