PG - 15057-15066 LID - 10.1021/acs.analchem.2c03125 [doi] AB - Autophagy is a core recycling process for homeostasis, with its dysfunction associated with tumorigenesis and various diseases. Yet, its subtle intracellular details are covered due to the limited resolution of conventional microscopies. The major challenge for modern super-resolution microscopy deployment is the lack of a practical labeling system, which could provide robust fluorescence with fidelity in the context of the dynamic autophagy microenvironment. Herein, a representative autophagy marker LC3 protein is selected to develop two hybrid self-labeling systems with tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) fluorophores through SNAP/Halo-tag technologies. A systematic investigation indicated that the match of the LC3-Halo and TMR ligand remarkably outperforms that of LC3-SNAP, as the former Halo system exhibited more robust single-molecule brightness (440 vs 247), total photon numbers (45600 vs 13500), and dwell time of the initial bright state (0.82 vs 0.40 s) than the latter. With the aid of this desirable Halo system, for the first time, live-cell ferritinophagy is monitored with a spatial resolution of approximately 50 nm, which disclosed reduced sizes of autophagosomes ( approximately 650 nm, ferritinophagy) than those in nonselective ( approximately 840 nm, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)) and selective autophagy ( approximately 900 nm, mitophagy).
