ABSTRACT
We present direct-LIVE-PAINT, an easy-to-implement approach for the nanoscopic imaging of protein structures in live cells using labeled binding peptides. We demonstrate the feasibility of direct-LIVE-PAINT with an actin-binding peptide fused to EGFP, the location of which can be accurately determined as it transiently binds to actin filaments. We show that direct-LIVE-PAINT can be used to image actin structures below the diffraction-limit of light and have used it to observe the dynamic nature of actin in live cells. We envisage a similar approach could be applied to imaging other proteins within live mammalian cells.
