An Engineered Protein Tag for Multiprotein Labeling in Living Cells

TLDR
The generation of an AGT-based tag is reported, named CLIP-tag, which reacts specifically with O2-benzylcytosine derivatives, which is derived from the human DNA repair protein O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT).

A general method to improve fluorophores for live-cell and single-molecule microscopy

TL;DR: Inspired by molecular modeling, the N,N-dimethylamino substituents in tetramethylrhodamine are replaced with four-membered azetidine rings, which doubles the quantum efficiency and improves the photon yield of the dye in applications ranging from in vitro single-molecule measurements to super-resolution imaging.

Specific Covalent Labeling of Recombinant Protein Molecules Inside Live Cells

TL;DR: This system provides a recipe for slightly modifying a target protein so that it can be singled out from the many other proteins inside live cells and fluorescently stained by small nonfluorescent dye molecules added from outside the cells.

Multicolor and Electron Microscopic Imaging of Connexin Trafficking

TL;DR: This approach was used to show that newly synthesized connexin43 was transported predominantly in 100- to 150-nanometer vesicles to the plasma membrane and incorporated at the periphery of existing gap junctions, whereas older connexins were removed from the center of the plaques into pleiomorphic vesicle of widely varying sizes.
