Precise labeling of telomeres with thioredoxin-fused TALEs (TTALEs). (A) Schematic illustration of TALEs fused with various solubility-enhancing peptides (X) to label telomeres. (B) Co-localization analysis of telomeric FISH (red) and Flag-TALEtelo (green) fused with the indicated peptides in HeLa cells. Engineered TALEtelo was visualized by immunostaining with anti-Flag antibody. Representative images using various fusion partners show that precise co-localization with telomeric FISH signals was obtained only using the thioredoxin-fused TALEtelo (TTALEtelo). Dashed lines indicate the nuclear boundary. Scale bars, 5 μm. (C) Histograms showing numbers of telomeric FISH- and peptide-fused TALEtelo(19 bp)-positive dots in nuclei of HeLa cells. n = 50 nuclei per group.
