AbstractSwift and complete spindle disassembly is essential for cell survival, yet how it happens is largely unknown. Here we used real-time live-cell microscopy and biochemical assays to show that a cysteine-rich protein CRIPT dictates the spindle disassembly in a redox-dependent manner in human cells. This previously reported cytoplasmic protein was found to have a confined nuclear localization during interphase but was distributed to spindles and underwent redox modifications to form disulfides within CXXC pairs during mitosis. Then, it interacts with and transfers redox response to tubulin subunits to induce microtubule depolymerization. The mutants with any of cysteine substitution completely block the spindle disassembly generating two cell populations with long-lasting metaphase spindles or spindle remnants. The live cell recordings of a disease-relevant mutant (CRIPTC3Y) revealed that microtubule depolymerization at spindle ends during anaphase and the entire spindle dissolution during telophase may share a common CRIPT-bearing redox-controlled mechanism.

MicroRNA (miRNA) has emerged as an important gene-regulator that shows great potential in gene therapy because of its unique roles in gene-regulation. However, the knowledge on their function and transportation in vivo is still lacking, and there are limited obvious evidences to define intracellular transportation of miRNA. In this study, the dynamics of exogenous miR-21 transfected into HeLa cells was traced by live-cell microscopy. Their transportation at key time points was recorded and dynamic properties were analyzed by single particle tracking (SPT) and mean square displacement (MSD) calculation. Results showed that the exogenous miRNAs bounded to cells quickly and went through lysosome into cytosol, where they were subsequently recruited into p-body. They finally were degraded, otherwise went back to cytosol in some way. Long time observation and analysis of motion mode showed that the miRNAs were confined in a small region and their motion modes were flexible in different intracellular microenvironment after entering the cells.

Clustering of the actin polymerase VASP (vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein) reorganizes leading-edge actin filaments into filopodia bundles in crawling cells. Here, we use live-cell microscopy to image the earliest events in VASP clustering and find that initiation depends on interactions with lamellipodin and barbed ends, while disassembly is driven by size-dependent instability.
