Single-molecule imaging and tracking of chromatin-bound histone H3 (Hht1, in live and fixed cells) and free GFP in the nucleus of S. pombe.

ABSTRACT: Single-molecule imaging and tracking (SMT) of proteins in live cells provides robust quantification of the biophysical parameters of protein dynamics. Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is extensively used as a model system in cell and molecular biology research, however, SMT was not optimized for this model system. Here, we have optimized SMT for tracking protein dynamics in live cells of the yeast S. pombe. For SMT data analysis and to differentiate between bound and unbound molecules, it is essential to quantify the dynamic behavior of chromatin-bound proteins (histones) and free protein (GFP) in the nucleus to benchmark the diffusion parameters. In this dataset, we have provided the time-lapse movies for tracking histone H3 (Hht1) in live and fixed cells. Histone H3 gene (hht1) wa
