Fig. 4. ATP levels and translation state affect mRNA compaction in a reversible manner.

Fig. 4

a MKI67 transcripts in U2OS cells, tagged in the 5’ (magenta), middle (cyan) and 3’-end (green) of the transcript, along with images of single transcripts (enhanced). Scale bars, 10, 0.5 µm. Adjustments to individual color channels were made. b Histograms depicting the percentages of the orientation between the 5’ and 3’-ends of triple-tagged MKI67 transcripts in the U2OS cytoplasm, under various treatments. Untreated n = 158, ATP depletion n = 124, translation inhibition n = 100, translation inhibition + ATP depletion n = 131, translation inhibition + ATP depletion + wash n = 143 transcripts.
