--- _id: '7391' abstract: - lang: eng text: Electron microscopy (EM) is a technology that enables visualization of single proteins at a nanometer resolution. However, current protein analysis by EM mainly relies on immunolabeling with gold-particle-conjugated antibodies, which is compromised by large size of antibody, precluding precise detection of protein location in biological samples. Here, we develop a specific chemical labeling method for EM detection of proteins at single-molecular level. Rational design of α-helical peptide tag and probe structure provided a complementary reaction pair that enabled specific cysteine conjugation of the tag. The developed chemical labeling with gold-nanoparticle-conjugated probe showed significantly higher labeling efficiency and detectability of high-density clusters of tag-fused G protein-coupled receptors in freeze-fracture replicas compared with immunogold labeling. Furthermore, in ultrathin sections, the spatial resolution of the chemical labeling was significantly higher than that of antibody-mediated labeling. These results demonstrate substantial advantages of the chemical labeling approach for single protein visualization by EM. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Shigekazu full_name: Tabata, Shigekazu id: 4427179E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tabata - first_name: Marijo full_name: Jevtic, Marijo id: 4BE3BC94-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jevtic - first_name: Nobutaka full_name: Kurashige, Nobutaka last_name: Kurashige - first_name: Hirokazu full_name: Fuchida, Hirokazu last_name: Fuchida - first_name: Munetsugu full_name: Kido, Munetsugu last_name: Kido - first_name: Kazushi full_name: Tani, Kazushi last_name: Tani - first_name: Naoki full_name: Zenmyo, Naoki last_name: Zenmyo - first_name: Shohei full_name: Uchinomiya, Shohei last_name: Uchinomiya - first_name: Harumi full_name: Harada, Harumi id: 2E55CDF2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Harada orcid: 0000-0001-7429-7896 - first_name: Makoto full_name: Itakura, Makoto last_name: Itakura - first_name: Itaru full_name: Hamachi, Itaru last_name: Hamachi - first_name: Ryuichi full_name: Shigemoto, Ryuichi id: 499F3ABC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Shigemoto orcid: 0000-0001-8761-9444 - first_name: Akio full_name: Ojida, Akio last_name: Ojida citation: ama: Tabata S, Jevtic M, Kurashige N, et al.
