Abstract

When Saccharomyces cerevisiae divides, a structure composed of different septin proteins arranged according to a certain rule is formed at the cell division site. The structure undergoes multiple remodeling stages during the cell cycle, thus guiding the yeast cells to complete the entire division process. Although the higher-order structure of septins can be determined using electron microscopy, the septin’s dynamic processes are poorly understood because of limitations in living cell super-resolution imaging technology. Herein, we describe a high lateral resolution and temporal resolution technique, known as fast fluctuation-enhanced structured illumination microscopy (fFE-SIM), which more than doubles the SIM resolution at a frame rate of 38 Hz in living cells. This allows a highly dynamic and sparse septin structure to be observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
