Abstrakt: | We report a chemically tuned fluorogenic electrophile designed to conduct live-cell super-resolution imaging by exploiting its stochastic reversible alkylation reaction with cellular nucleophiles. Consisting of a lipophilic BODIPY fluorophore tethered to an electrophilic cyanoacrylate warhead, the new probe cyanoAcroB remains nonemissive due to internal conversion along the cyanoacrylate moiety. Intermittent fluorescence occurs following thiolate Michael addition to the probe, followed by retro-Michael reaction, tuned by the cyano moiety in the acrylate warhead and BODIPY decoration. This design enables long-term super-resolved imaging of live cells by preventing fluorescent product accumulation and background increase, while preserving the pool of the probe. We demonstrate the imaging capabilities of cyanoAcroB via two methods: (i) single-molecule localization microscopy imaging with nanometer accuracy by stochastic chemical activation and (ii) super-resolution radial fluctuation. The latter tolerates higher probe concentrations and low imaging powers, as it exploits the stochastic adduct dissociation. Super-resolved imaging with cyanoAcroB reveals that electrophile alkylation is prevalent in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The 2D dynamics of these organelles within a single cell are unraveled with tens of nanometers spatial and sub-second temporal resolution through continuous imaging of cyanoAcroB extending for tens of minutes. Our work underscores the opportunities that reversible fluorogenic probes with bioinspired warheads bring toward illuminating chemical reactions with super-resolved features in live cells. |
