OptoGranules are light-inducible dynamic stress granules.

(a) Design of Opto-G3BP1 and Opto-Control constructs. (b) U2OS cells stably expressing Opto-Control or Opto-G3BP1 were stimulated with a single 5-msec pulse of 488 nm blue light (power density ~2.5 MW/cm2) in a defined ROI. Representative images are shown from n = 3 independent experiments. (c) Quantification of data in cells treated as in (b). Five cells with similar expression levels were counted. Granule numbers are shown relative to the granule number at the peak of OptoGranule assembly. Error bars represent s.e.m. (d-f) U2OS cells were stably transfected with Opto-Control or Opto-G3BP1, or stable Opto-G3BP1 cells were transiently transfected with G3BP1-GFP, and stimulated with a blue-light laser (power density ~4.5 W/cm2) for 3 mins. Regions marked with yellow circles were photobleached and monitored for fluorescence recovery. Data are shown as representative images (d), relative fluorescence intensity of photobleached region over time (e), and relative mobile fraction derived from (e) (f). For (e, f) n = 15 cells for Opto-Control; n = 12 for Opto-G3BP1; n = 14 for G3BP1-GFP. Data are representative of n = 3 independent experiments. Data shown as mean + s.d. ns, not significant by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test. (g) U2OS cells transiently transfected with Opto-G3BP1 and the stress granule marker GFP-TIA1 were stimulated with a blue-light laser (power density ~2.5 MW/cm2) for 5 msec. Cells were sequentially imaged by 561 nm and 488 nm channels; we note that the 488 nm channel used for imaging also activates Opto-G3BP1 (power density 2.2 W/cm2). Representative images are shown from n = 3 independent experiments. (h-j) U2OS cells stably expressing Opto-Control or Opto-G3BP1 constructs were stimulated for 6 hr without or with continuous blue light (~2 mW/cm2) using custom-made LED arrays for global activation. Cells were immunostained with PABP antibody (h), TDP-43 antibody (i), or RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization using FAM-labelled oligo (dT)20 as a probe (j). Scale bars, 10 µm in all micrographs.
